OPPOSES REPEAL OF
FULL CREW LAW
Governor of New Jersey Against
Proposed Legislation

Governor Fielder of New Jersey has
taken decided stand against the re-
peal of the full crew law as provided
in bin introduced in the assembly.
The governors letter, written as q
result of numerous communications for
and against the repeal, is as follows:
II am receiving many letters on this
subject (as well as petitions, making 1t
are being solicited / suspect that many
who sign them know little or nothing
OF the reason for the present law or
what the result Of the passage of the
pending bills would be, and | do not
think you can be familiar with the
provisions of the bill, which it is claim
ed will give the public utility commits
sion ample power to regulate the mum
Der of trainmen necessary for the safe
operat1oa Of passenger and freight
trains.
This bill was introduced in the as
sembly March 2. and the advertise
ments which the railroads have caused
to be inserted In the newspapers quote
1t at length with approval and urge
its passage. 1t provides that the pub
lie utility commission shall have power
to require any railroad doing business
In this state, either for the hauling Of
passengers or freight, to determine the
number of trainmen to be hired to
operate such trains and that the com
missioners may make rules and orders
for the operating Of such trains, as
they may deem needful.
"1f you will read the words carefully
you will observe that the utility com
mission is not given the slightest
power to specify the number of men
necessary on trains, and all that the
bill proposes is to give the commission
the foolish right to require the railroads
to determine such number. Moreover,
because the bin refers only to com
panies doing business in this state
am afraid it would not apply to those
doing interstate business, and the last
clause of the bill, relating to orders
and rules for operating trains, gives
the commission ne wider powers than
it now has under the act constituting
it, by which it is empowered to order
railroads to furnish safe, adequate and
proper service and which power has
never been thought to include the right
to compel full crew.

INVESTING IN STOCKS.
Beat Wall Street Tip to Those Anxious
to Buy Securities

Beat Wall Street Tip to Those Anxious
to Buy Securities.
| have noticed during q quarter of a
century's observations that when all
the financial writer's are proclaiming
the merits of particular stock and, at
the same time, insiders, who are sup
posed to know all about 1t, are point
ing out its good points, increasing earn
ings, ETC., somebody stands waiting to
sell. l have also noticed that when a
stock advances day by day or week by
week without anything being said in
explanation or without any effort be-
Ing made to attract attention to it there
ing on, especially if transactions In that
stock be large. Perhaps some OF my
observant readers have noticed the
same peculiarities Of the stock market.
1t is perfectly natural that when one
wants to sell his goods he should extol
their merits and that If he wants to
buy property he should go about 1t
quietly and if he has knowledge of its
merits should say as little as possible
about them until he has completed the
purchase. The same motives and prin-
ciples that move men to buy and sell
commodities of any kind inspire men
and movements in Wall street
For this reason l have advised my
readers who wish to be successful In
speculating not to take tips SO freely
given hv fhOSa who have their own
purposes to serve, but to note with care
the operations of the market and news
that has bearing on the values of Sc
curities. | do not mean by this the
rumors that financial writer's and tip
sters give out, but the real news found
in official reports of declining or in
creasing earnings and the statements
required by law to be made and
sworn to.-Jasper in Leslie's Weekly.

connress Should Aid Hatters.

Congress ought to lend 4 willing ear
to the plea of the hatters. 1t has been
repeatedly proved that in the enact
ment of the Sherman law there was no
intention Of making it apply to labor
organizations. In the enactment of the
Clayton bill last fall this opinion was
confirmed by making a specific exemp-
tion of labor unions and voluntary as
sociations of farmers. Since the courts
have interpreted the Sherman law in a
way that congress never intended, it
now becomes the duty Of congress to
compensate the hatters for the cost of
its own error Of omission. 1t is mani
festly unfair to require the defendant
hatters to sacrifice their small homes
or savings because Of an unintentional
piece of legislation, when if the same
occurrence should happen today under
the present law no such penalty could
be imposed

GET PAY FOR WORK DONE.
Efficiency System Abolished at Govern
ment ArsenaIs.

Legislation abolishing the efficiency
systems at government arsenals passed
in the dying hours Of congress win
work few changes at Frankford, Pa,
according to Lieutenant Colonel George
Montgomery, commanding officer there.
Although about 500 people now en-
ployed under the efficiency system win
work under a regular piecework plan
when the act goes into effect July 1.
there will be little difference in wages.
"Since the Introduction of the eff
cheney system, four years ago" said
Lieutenant Colonel Montgomery, I'VE
have been offering premiums for in
creased output of work. Under that
system if worker fell even one short
of the number of pieces required to
win his bonus he received nothing for
his extra work Under the new plan
he is paid for every piece he puts out Z"
There will be little difference in the
wages received by the majority Of
workers, Lieutenant Colonel Montgom-
cry pointed out A few of the more
efficient girls WOULD make more money.
However, an effort viii be made to en-
able all workers to earn their usual
wage, he said.
