BAR ALL PACKAGES
AT CAPITOL BUILDING
Fear of Cranks Brings Stringent Regu-
lations for Entrance.

Hereafter no one Is going to get any
where near the Capitol. much less inside,
with any sort of a box or package.
The Capitol police made this ruling
yesterday, In view Of the present tense
situation and the increasing numtsr of
eranks here.
Heretofore persons entering the Capitol
could check any sort of suitcase or
bundle at the door. and so 1t would be
comparatively simple for a crank to
check bomb or a box of dynamite.
Cranks are being picked up at the
Capitol nearly every day. Yesterday

Wilson, and insisting that he confess his
sins to the President He was taken in
custody withc 1t trouble, but the police
fear that the inaugural may draw more
dangerous cranks to town
Not only will there be no checking Of
bundles hereafter but the police will
make every effort to stop the approach
Of persons with bundles. No person will
be allowed in the Capitol Building with
a package under any Circumstances.
For thes first time since the break with
Germany the Treasury Building was yes
terday closed to all but officials and en-
ployes. From the moment 1t was known
that Germany and the United States had
reached the parting OF the ways the
utmost vigilance has been maintained

WITHOUT AGlTATORS
INDUSTRY FlOURlSHES
Figures Show Big Increase In Wages
and Factories In Queens.

Wherever labor agitators are few,
there industry aourishes and workers
are prosperous. This Is the lesson to
be Cleaned from the remarkable indus
trial growth In the Borough Of Queens,
New York City, as shown by the fg-
ures recently compiled by the Bureau
Of Census for the year 1914.
The figures record a decided gain
not only In the number OF new facto-
ries, capital invested In manufactur.
ing, and the value OF manufactured
products, but also I'm the sum total Of
salaries and wages and the number Of
salaried employees and wage earners
since the taking Of the last census In
1909. From "a percentage standpoint,
the increase over the several items
was as follows:
Salaried employees. 62.7 per cent; sal
aries. sos per cent; wages, 30 per cent;
wage earners. 30.7 per cent; capital In.
vested, 20 per cent, number Of facto-
ries. 26.6 per cent; value of products.
S.S per cent
While complete figures have not been
published as yet for all the cities and
States, still from the figures that are
now available 1t is evident that the
Borough Of Queens for the year 1914
exceeded I'm the value Of Its manufac-
tured products many States OF the
Union, such as Vermont, Delaware,
Oregon, Florida. and Wyoming; It ex.
ceeded, also, In this respect every city
In New York State, with the exception
Of Buffalo. In fact, there were not
more than fifteen or sixteen cities In
the United States which produced man.

than those made In Queens for the

Don't Rock tho Industrial Boat.

After the European war Is over the
prosperity OF the country will depend
on the willingness Of labor to cooper
ate with capital in lighting destructive
competition from abroad. This Is the
consensus Of opinion among men Of
affairs who have made close study
of conditions In the Industrial and eco
nomic world.
During the reconstruction period
that must follow the termination Of
the war, these men say, labor and
capital will be shipmates. and If there
Is going to be any mutiny among the
members Of the crew the result will
affect the wage earners' income. In
this connection George Roberts. vice
president Of the National City Bank Of
New York, says:
81 cannot get rid OF the conviction
that there will have to be a period of
readjustment for the general business
situation soon after the war. There
is only one way to maintain high
wages, and that is by increasing the
efficiency of industry. We have to
convince our own people Of the advan.
tages Of large scale. economical pro-
duction, and we have to satisfy our
wage earners that they are interested
not In restricting production, but in
increasing production. They must be
brought to see not only that wages are
dependent upon production. but that
an increasing supply Of all the com
forts Of life for the masses Of the peo-
pie is dependent upon it."-Industrial
Conservation, N. Y.
