SUGGESTS FIRE HOUSE
 FOR SOUTHWEST AREA
Expert Also Recommends Purchase of Quick-Rais- >
 ing Aerial Ladder.

Secretary Andrews of the Chamber of Commerce has received from the National Board of Fire Underwriters of New York, a report of the con- ditions in this city as noted by En- gineer J. H. Howland, who was here August -2s and 29. The report speaks of the improvements made by the water department including the com pletion of the Burlington reservoir and the laying of 12 and 16 inch 1aains in Wooster street. The pre- liminary surveys made by the board for the proposed tunnel connecting Burlington with Whigville whereby the minimum supply would be in- creased fifty cent. is also noted in the report The report also sug- gests that the reinforcing of the southern and western section of the city would remedy the weakest con- rection with a generally adequate system of water supply.
 Improvements in the fire depart ment, increasing the permanent force by six men, the civil service regula- tions, the addition of motor appara- tus at several of the engine houses, the installation of a ombination hose wagon, city service ladder and
 
 at the Central station and a 50 foot ladder at No. 5. The chief has been equipped with an autom obile, and regular and systematic inspection of buildings has also been placed in vogue here. The erection of new station in the vicinity of Andrews street and Kensington avenue is recommended in the report. The in- vestigator also speaks of the results to be attained by an auxiliary squad feature by the addition of five extra men to each of the most central houses. As the districts of high value are exposed to danger when the one ladder truck responds to fires in the outlying districts, recommenda- tions are included for the purchase of an automobile quick raising aerial truck to ensure reasonably safe pro- tection. The introduction and use of three inch turret and hose nozzles would add greatly to the fire fighting efficiency, the report says.
 Installing eight additional fire boxes, providing an automobile for the superintendent of wires increasing the length of the underground con- ductors by about three miles and re- constructing at least eight miles of overhead distribution, were improve ments made in the alarm system. Lead sheathed cable for underground distribution and separate gong circuits with modern registering devices in connection with the fire stations, are the recommendations of the board for the alarm system.

Organized Tradesmen Urged Not to Ride on Cars Having
 NOn-UniOn Crews
BLOW EXPECTED TO HIT
 NEW YORK ON WEDNESDAY
Maximum Effect Would Be to Call 75O,OOO Men and Women-Those Who Refuse to Join Movement Will Arouses Leaders by Threatening to Use His Military Power.

New York, Sept. 23-Trade unions in this city and Westchester County today began to vote on the question of ratifying the action of eighty dele gates who yesterday called for a general suspension of work" next Wednesday morning. The labor chiefs appealed to all union wage earners to stay at home until the traction companies make it possible for them to ride in the street cars without offense to their union al- legiance.
 It is asserted that no such action heretofore has been taken by the trades unions of this country nor has a strike involving so many trades ever been called. It's maximum eff feet would call from work 75O,OOO men and women.
 Not Sympathetic Strike
 Leaders of the movement refrain from calling it a sympathetic strike. They declare that many of the unions already have voted to ratify their recommendation and that any union man who does not quit work Wednes- day will be denounced as a traitor"
 To what extent they expect the unions to respond to the suspension call was not disclosed. "How can I tell? It is up to the unions." said Hugh Fravne, general organizer of the American Federation of Labor for New York state. It is pointed out Wednesday Is the beginning of an inn portant Jewish holiday when many workers ordinarily would stay at home.
 The call for a cessation of work is based on the grievance that men of union affiliations cannot ride to their employment except in cars manned by non-union conductors or motormen and under the protection of the police. Statements issued by the leaders indicate that they are in- censed by Mayor Mitchel's warning that he stood ready to use the military power to restrain violence and that they consider the city to be dominated by the traction interests.
 To reinforce the police, Commis- sioner Woods has instructed the cap- tains to select ten civilians in each precinct to be sworn in as special policemen. This would add about 900 men to the department.

seven years ago--of the most highly
civilized country on the globe at that
time.
Women are supposed to form at least
half of the population of the human
race. In some places they constitute
distinct majority. We may say
without hesitation, therefore. that one
half the population holds the other half
in absolute bondage when they thus
compel the women to submit to such
depredations and disadvantages. Eng
lish women are still pleading for the
liberty to choose their own masters
If nothing better can be allowed to
them.
American women are asking for lib
erty to assist in the solution of those
who are to rule over them. 1t is
astonishing that the sons of mothers,
and the fathers of daughters. cannot
open their eyes to the injustice of this
condition of women.
