Bridging the North River.

From, Th> Syrdcu., Post STANDARD
There arc now three bridges across the
Niagara River near the Falls. Congress pro-
poses to build another. There is protest
from New York City. Why not, they ask,
build bridge across the North River to New
York? There is no bridge across the Hud-
sen below Poughkeepsie.
The East River bridges have been built by
the City of New York. They unite Kings and
Queens with Manhattan. But across the
North River from Manhattan lies not only
another city, but another state. More than
twenty years ago Congress was asked to per
nit the building of bridge uniting New
Jersey to the metropolis. There were objec-
tion and debate and delay and the project
was abandoned. The tunnels which have
been built for rail communication form a
cheaper means of connection for broad
stream than the bridge that would be re
CURED. But they carry only fraction of
the Jersey business into New York. Freight
and foodstuffs come by ferry.
If there is a bridge across the Hudson
from New York to New Jersey it must be
built by the national government. The en-
terprse is too great for private capital, now
that the Pennsylvania Railroad has its en-
trance into New York by tunnel. New York
and New Jersey will not do IT, The United
States government could spend several
millions upon a bridge there which would
be an impressive spectacle and a highway
of commerce the equal of which the world
has not

Perhaps a Boomerang.

To the various questions regarding the
precise Interpretation Of the so-called
eight-hour law for railroad workers Mr..
Samuel p. Dunn, editor Of railway maya
zine, has added another. He comedies that
the law, if upheld, will compel the payment
of the present days wages for working
period of eight hours. The point he raises
is whether it will not compel the rendering
of eight hours work before the statutory
days pay may be given.
If that should prove to be the working
out of the law, it will indeed be boone
rang for many of the members of the
brotherhoods which forced it through Con-
gress. Under the dual system Of payment
now in force according to hours of work
or mileage registered-many crews, es-
pecially those engaged in passenger trans
portation-reccive the normal days pay
for less than eight hours work. Some Of
them work only five hours in the day, their
pay being computed on the more profitable
mileage basis. If these men, under the
eight-hour standard, should be paid pro
rata. their income would be diminished;
while, if they expected to receive their
present income, they would have to work
more than their present short working
day.
Of course. this measure is not an eight
hour law, as it purports to be. 1t per
mits tranmen to be worked more thar the
eight hours in the standard day which 1t
fixes as the basis of payment. But II
would be a poor rule which did not work
both ways. The possibility thus presented,
that some of the men who held up Con-
gress and, indirectly, the general public,
in order to get this law, may have over
reached themselves, is distinctly inter-
esting.

"The Only Thing That Counts.
, Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir; Some recent writer has said that each
European nation is now undergoing its cruel
fxion for its national sin, and that our own
dear country must also undergo her cruel
ixon, else the United States at the end Of
this war will find herself on a much lower
moral level than that OF any OF the warning
nations.
What. then, is our national SIM Is it not
our eagerness for money, with all that money
will give us? Is not this the propelling force
in our American civilization?
Fortunately there is in this land a saving
remnant, core Of sanity. around which will
grow up. after our crucif1ion. a better civ
ilization, that may in time lift US to the
higher levels Europe is now reaching after
But first must come our crucifxion. As
IL looms before US we see that We ourselves
are bringing it about. By strikes within and
commercial wars without we arc in a fair
way ourselves TO destroy tho prosperity we
are so proud of. II may come in the form
of lesser French Revolution. But it will
certainly continue until we have learned the
lesson that character, not money, makes the
man; that TO lose possessions for principles
sake makes poverty a nobler state than
riches; that TO serve our country is more
honorable than to serve ourselves. and tha.
tho immateria things, justice, honor and
most worth possessing. Or. as the English
soldier learned in the trenches, "God is the

o INC LulbOI VI ihc
Sir: One OF your correspondents IN TINS
mornings edition reminds you that your o.
fee is not in London, but in New York. and
by the same reasoning may | add that 1t IS
not in Berlin, Germany, and that freedom
Of speech is one Of the privileges Of the
American citizen? Also, the freedom OF
thought And the neutrality advocated by
our President at the breaking out OF the
European war vas an insult TO the same free
dom! Besides, why should the press or an in
dvdual abstain from uttering pro-Ally SEN
timents when Germans and pro-Germans IN
this country are constantly giving utterance
to sentiments that are not traitorous to the
cause of the Allies, but 10 the United States
of America, the country to which they owe
their undivided allegiance, at least graft
tude for hospitality extended?
lie asks: "Why pick on Germany? How
about the Allies" Alas. war is constant
horror Yet there are ethics even in war
fare. The Allies have conducted and are
conducting this war along these ethics. They
have not cut the hands from innocent chill
dren, nor torn out their tongues before their
parents eyes. They have not thrown treaties
TO the winds as scraps OF paper Their
record is not darkened with the execution OF
an Edith Cavell, Captain Fryatt. nor. TO
strike nearer home, Lusitania horror. Their
prisoners are well treated, not starved nor
inoculated with disease.
The cause of the Allies is indeed the cause
championed BY right-thinking. true Ameri-
cans. because Germany has taught us by her
actions what to expect of her supremacy The
Allies are indeed fighting for the cause near

gave life to our republic, which brought Us
through dangers and priystion to the Union
OF to-day. Yes. it can be proven that Ger
many's defeat in the present conflict is neces-
sary to the furtherance of our freedom, and
Germany herself is daily the proof
Unfortunately. the thought of so many is
obscured because the Allies. through some
retalistory measures, have prevented the fat
tenng OF pockets already bullying with gold,
and so Congress must needs pass new legis
lstion, although it never could have protested
against the INVASION of Belgium, nor enforced
the "strict accounting" in the case of the
Lustania. In fact it is so blind that it has
overlooked the fact that as many as twenty
six ships have been sunk since Germany's

and many non-combatants have thereby lost
their lives. But forgot that there were no
American lives lost, nor American gold.

Convict Short-Weight Bakers!

No increase in the price Of ingredients
or the cost of manufacture can excuse
bakers of this city for selling loaves OF
bread which weigh less than their alleged
net weight. That is plain, unblushing VIC
lation of the law. An increase in price,
whether or not it be justified, is matter
with which the consumer can deal in his
own way. Short weight is matter with
which the officials and the law must deal.
Commissioner Hartigan of the Bureau
of Weights and Measures does well to in
vestigate the complaints of short-weigh.
loaves which have come TO his notice. He
will do even better by bringing about the
prosecution of any baker against whom he
can get evidence of falsely labelling the
product of his establishment. The short
weghter is so mean thief that the best
treatment he deserves is the heaviest pen
atty which the law permits to be imposed
on him.

Air Raiders Tales.

When Mr.. Mcclure was in Berlin he
heard wonderful stories Of the Zeppelin
raids on England, with official descrip-
tons of the damage done at Liverpool,
Birkenhead and Manchester. Imagine
my establishment" he exclaims to Lon
don correspondent of "The Globe" ''to
discover on visiting Liverpool, Birkenhead
and Manchester that Zeppelns had not
visited those towns at ALL"
1t is unlikely that his interlocutor was
as much astonshed as Mr.. Mcclure, for
the German reports are published regu-
larly in the English papers and have long
been a byword for mendacity. Why the
official accounts of air raids should be so
Enthusiastically dressed up it is hard to un-
derstand. The reports of naval exploits
may occasionally be a little colored. but
such flights Of fancy as are constantly

Uncertainties Of Authorship.


The dispatch in "The Star" last week
about the paltry sums often received by song
writers for songs that have become famous
emphasizes again the general truth of the
old saying that it the fate of genius TO go
unrewarded The writer of Listen to the
Mocking Bird" got s35 for it, and those who
sold the song made 100000. And so it goes.
Once year the British government puts a
limited number of names upon civil pen
sion list" Only those are eligible who have
done great service TO literature, and who
also must be in straitened circumstances.
1t is really state charity TO prevent authors
from starving; but there arc always many
more applicants than there are pensions 10
90 around; and the names are nearly always
those of eminent persons.
Last month those pensions were granted,
and among the names accepting them were
those of William H. Mallock, author Of as
Life Worth Living?'; j. Comyns Carr, the
dramatist, who put Madame Sans Gene"
into English Lady Murray, widow OF Sir
James Murray, editor Of the great oxford
Dictionary; Mrs. Amy Bullen, widow of the

Hands Of.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Generally speaking, the people OF
greater New York are unequivocally on the
side cf tho employers in the present car
strike
In the recent labor troubles in the mems
and wcmen's garment trade in New York the
public sided with the workers. Society peo-
pie then interfered BY aiding the strikers,
thereby gaining publicity. which they usually
desire TO receive and helped TO prolong the
strike. thereby causing misery and hardship
among the workers for several weeks.
The garment workers of New York are
mostly foreigners, while the car men are
mostly native born Americans. These gar
ment workers receive nearly double the sala-
res of the car men.
Il is strange that at the present moment the
society folk" are not assisting the car men.
They are not interfering in this strike, and
this tends to shorten the duration of the
trouble.
II the gentle society women should aid the
strikers who are practically all Americans
Il would be against their husbands interests.
This they cannot do. If they would desist
from riding all strikers. they would then be
benefiting the trades of New York.

What Ii Costs to Raise a Bushel of Wheat.

wheat in the bag. In the whole State OF

Of these roads for the year, after paying

about 81 900 900 900, or only about seventeen

As YOU are a student of economic affairs,
you doubtless know that the railroads of the
United States have the lowest capitalization
per mile of any civilized country in the world.
You must know, also, that our railroads in
addition pay the highest wages known to rail-
road labor the world over. and render service
for the smallest compensation recorded by
any country.
Now. | am sure you will earn the further
gratitude Of one hundred million people II
YOU will show how "the roads" could double
their profits. Bear in mind that practically
all of the expenses of p railroad are made up
of labor and material. How would you save d
billion dollars? Out Of which items would
you take It?
The proposition of the railroads was that
all these questions be arbitrated before some
impartial tribunal and the facts established
as a basis for judgment and action. They
made no proposals "to tie up the country" or
''to bring untold suffering TO millions of peo-
pie" Such proposals came only from the
heads of four highly organized bodies of rail-
road employees, representing the best PAID
labor in the world and sggregating less than
one-ffth of the total number employed IN
railroad service. As these men were asking
for more than their share, "the voice raised
BY the god of greed" to quote your words
again, must have been in their behalf.
II is Just such ignorance OF the facts about
the railroad situation displayed in your
published statement that makes imperative
and obvious the need of public investigation
and public knowledge before speech or action
in these matters. Yours respectfully,
FRANK TRUMBULL,
Chairman Railway Executives Advisory Com
mittee
