Keep the Labor Laws Intact

1t is to be hoped that Senator Brown
will have better luck this year with his
bill authorizing the Public Service Com
missions to suspend the full crew law when
ever it is deemed desirable during the
period of the war than he had last year.
Then, owing to the opposition of the rail
way workers, it failed to pass. There is
ample reason for such measure-indeed,
it does not come up to the needs Of the
situation. The proper thing to do would
be to repeal the full crew law outright.
1t has always been an economic monstrosl-
ty. forcing extra expense on the railroads.
adding artificially to a scarcity of railroad
workers at time when it is extremely
difficult to get competent men for railroad
work, and failing altogether to Justify its
purpose-the protection of workers and
the travelling public against accidents.
The direct test--the endeavor to repeal
the law--has been made in this state and
failed Senator Brown is an expert judge
of legislative and political conditions. and
perhaps is wise in not counting another
failure by raising that issue. He certain
ly should push his present bill. The
plight of the railroads is we'll enough un-
derstood-even rural legislators whose
interests arc chiefly in rabbit bills and
local appropriations ought to comprehend
how vital it is at this time to have no
useless man in d train crew when it IS
almost impossible to get enough men to
man the trains which must keep moving
the supplies and munitions which will win
the war New Jersey. having tested the
full crew theory, discarded it by passing
such legislation as Senator Browp pro-
poses New York. for its own wellbcing
and the nations, should do the same
The second of Senator Browns ''war
emergency" measures has no such good
reasons for it's enactment. 1t would au-
thorize the State Industrial Commission
to suspend the labor laws, in whole or in
part, where their operation would inter
fere with the successful prosecution of the
war. Said to be intended for the relief
of munition plants. this bill is open to the
objections registered against the Brown
bill of similar import presented last ses-
sion, which Governor Whitman vetoed.
II is contrary to the necessities of the
situation, and to good public policy, to
contemplate the suspension Of labor safe
guards. Protection of workers against
long hours night labor, Industrial hazards,
IS as necessary now as ever. The expert
ence of Great Britain has gone TO prove
that limitation of hours of labor, the
maintenance Of regular days off, the safe
welbeing Of the workers-that is, to the
wellbeng Of industry. A short trial Of
unlimited, unregulated work promptly
produced falling of of productivity
No such mistake should be made here.

A Holiday in Berlin ?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Since the sinking of the Lusitania by
a German U-boat no event has so filled the
people of this country with amazement, anx-
icty and Indignation this mandate from
Washington which threatens to paralyze the
industries of the nation If the Kaiser does
not proclaim a holiday for the worthy cele-
bration of this friendly act there is sure to
be general rejoicing in Berlin.
Good American citizens have pledged them
selves to stand behind and support the Prcsl-
dent in his conduct of this war, and in their
zeal to sec it through they have delegated to
him a power which no autocrat in history has
possessed and which only superman
would know how t6 use. We have, moreover,

Half Way Water Protection

In deciding to abandon the present site
of the Mohansic State Hospital tor the
Insane. but to retain the site for the
Training School for Boys at Yorktown
Heights, the joint Legislative committee
has gone somewhat more than half way
toward meeting the complaints voiced by
the Merchants Association for the gen
cral public here that completion of the
plans for those institutions would inevi-
tablv inperil the purity Of this city's
water supply. Though the Training
School site within the Crotor watershed
is still to be used it is said the legislative
committee will recommend different
kind of institution from that originally
contemplated-a SOFT of farm colony,
auxiliary to the Reform School on Wards
Island, and this colony will not accom-
modatc anything like the number Of
pupils planned for in the school--some
500.
To lust this extent the danger Of con-
terminating the city's water will be re-
duced. if the committee's recommends
tions are accepted. For that much the
public here should be grateful. 1t cam
not be said in truth, however, that the
source Of danger is entirely removed. 1t
will not be while there is any kind Of in
stitution in the watershed, whether it be
in the form of & farm colony or the
regular institutional building.
The only assurance of complete safety
lay in the passage of the bills Senator
Wagner introduced last year, calling for
the abandonment of the sites for both in
sttutions and their location elsewhere,
and prohibiting the placing Of any institu-
ton in future within the watershed area.
These bills the Legislature refused to ac
cept; and their principle still seems to be
repugnant to the legislative committee
which took up the matter for investiga-
ton.
By going so far as it has done toward
accepting the basis Of reasoning of those
who wanted the institutions removed, the
legislative committee has practically ad-
mitted the full weight of their conten-
tons That being SO, it should have
recommended, for the absolute safety of
the water supply Of more than 100000
people, that the Wagner plan become law.
There is always the off chance, however
slight it may seem; and the danger of a
typhoid epidemic in the metropolis is too
great to be taken lightly.

Coal VS.. Beer
Brewers Insist That the Pound Pint
Formula Exaggerates

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue OF January 15 you at
tribute TO Mr.. f. ID. Leach, assistant fuel ad
ministrator of Ohio. a statement to the effect
that it takes approximately pound of coal
to brew a pint Of beer. and upon this you
base an editorial pleading for the closing
down OF breweries in order to conserve fuel.
You figure the New York State brewers in
the last revenue year must have used 1882
923 tons of coal, in the proportion of one
pound of coal to pint of beer.
Now, very much doubt whether Mr.. Leach
made the statement which has been attrb-
uted TO him not only by you, but by other
publications, or, if he did, he was very much
mistaken.
If it actually took pound o. coal to brew
pint of beer the brewers could not con-
tinue in business at the present price OBJ
tanabc for their product AS matter of
fact the Fuel Administrator in Washington
has recently received figures indicating that
the total consumption of coal by all the
brcwerics in the United States is approx-
matcly two million tons year Brewers
have voluntarily agreed to reduce this by
seventy thousand tons. approximately 80
Ter cent. in the current calendar year.
While coal consumption varies in different
plants, depending upon the character of the
fuel used and other factors, the highest
pounds per barrel, or approximately one
third Of what the pound q pint would be. A
barrel of beer you Will unders stand. contains
2iS pints. had before ne yesterday the
cost sheets Of large brewery in Q city not
far distant. This indicated a coal consump-
ton Of Is pounds per barrel. but as the fuel
was used for the purpose of drying grains
and for furnishing electric current to a large
building adjoining, which had several rcstau-
rants. cafe and number of bathrooms in
sons practically six nights a week. it is OBJ
vious that the amount Of fuel used in actual
brewing was much less than the gross figure
would Indicate
a great many Of the modern plants have
reduced their coal consumption below so
pounds per barrel, and some of them are
very close TO 45. Perhaps 80 pounds would
be q fair figure for a modern plant
1t is not my purpose to mplain or scod.
but | venture the suggestion in view of the
many misrepresentations that have been put
forward for uterior purposes, affecting our
industry, that The Tribune investigate SEN
sational statements before it accepts them as
truth and uses them to point arguments that
may work hardship or disaster to an industry
that has co0pcrated with the government to
the fullest extent possible in the line Of con-
seIvation. HUGH T.. FOX

TO the Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: Thanks for your safe and sane cdl-
torial "Dr. Garfield in Panic"
There is too much Of the "fear that feeds
upon itsef' going the rounds in the clubs
and markets, and in many newspapers and
pamphlets. We are in desperate straits IN
the matter of fuel for our homes and FAC
tories but it is silly to lose our heads over 1T.
Even now the january thaw may be start
ing in, and Nature, with Il kind of sense OF
humor, will have the laugh on our fuel ad-
ministrators, and others also.
Instead of "shutting down" our industries,
we ought to shut up our brewcries and sa-
looms The three big brcwcres in Yorkvlle
are using enough coal in week to supply the
people Of Yorkvile for month.
We have no House of Lords in coun-
try. but We have a "becrage" that seems TO
lord it over all kinds Of administrations, mu-
ricipal, state and nationaI over food conscr-
vations, fuel administrators. We are a dem
ocratic people Let us get rid Of the lords
of the vat and the still, put down the solons
Of the saloon, exile the makers of crime and
poverty, and the problems of coal and food
will be so much easier to solve that "cven

though he be a fool, will not err therein"
