sion of labor's part in the promotion

any legislation that would prevent
peaceful strikes and to the passage of
the bill now pending providing punish
ment for interfering with the mann.
lacture OF war materials unless pro-
vision was included cxempting labor
strikes. The Senate yesterday rejected

tention of House amendment of that
nature in the bill.

Gompers had tried, patrioticallv and
earnestly, to keep labor at work" dr.
ing the war, but said peaceful strikes
were the only weapons labor had ~

Gompers in statement Yesterday
threatened that law prohibitino
peaceful strikes could not be enforced

Eead Of the federation had not intend
ed his remarks as a threat
Senator Knox, of Pennsylyania said
IN his opinion that even if the brow
SION were eliminated the bill in it's
present form would not interfere with
peaceful strikes. This belief was on
posed by Senator Cummins Of fl Iowa wa
who said he believed the bill without
that provision would interfere with
strikes: He added that he did not be-.
lieve strikes should be forbidden until
the government furnishes some means
OF settling disputes.
!, Senator Sherman added that he
thought Mr.. Gompers is "sincerelv
loyal" but regretted his statement
while Senator Fall, of New Mexico
said the Gompers statement was a
menace" to the people He predicted
Congress would pass'a law compelling
men to work and enforce it with mi,
litia, If necessary.

the great new munition works on the
natlands were short-handed owing to
the interruption Of transportation. Mo-
tor trucks that wallowed through the
flood managed to get workers to the
plants OF the White Tar Company and
the Martin Dennis Chemical Company,
on the Kearny meadows.
Water rose to within few inchs OF
the seats Of the benches in the Erie
Station in Jersey City and service was
dlscontinued for sveral hours. The
Erie and Pennsylvania roads was in
tterruptd and slaughtering was stopped
IN the stockyards while employees
dropped their knives and set to work
to rescue their prospective victims
from drowning. Sandbags were heaped
about the entrances to the Hudson
tubes to keep out the water. Employees
of the Wells Fargo Express Company
used rafts at their work north Of the
in Jersey City by live wire which
dropped across their backs. The
shores of Newark Bay were Uttered
with the wreckage of small craft.
Military Work Halted
Important military work at Sandy
Hook was halted because the workmen
could not reach the fort.
Sea Bright, always the oceans ia
vorite target on the Jersey shore, found
its new defences inadequate, and Mayor
P. Hall Packer estimated the damage
to railroad property, bulkheads, houses
Central trains from New York came to
a halt quarter of mile from the
station, the locomotive wheels buried
in two feet of sand which the waves
had swept across the tracks. The pas
sengers were brought to the village in
automobiles.
Wires were down and trolley service
interrupted about Atlantic Highlands.
The entire district from Keansburg to
East Long Beach was cut off from
communication with the rest of the
world. An airplane factory at Key
port was closed because its workers
could not reach it. Two thirds of
Keansburg was flooded to depth of
three feet or more.
Damage at Atlantic City
For the first time in years the ocean
invaded the lawns of biz hotels in At
lantic City. smashed it's way into eel
lars and drowned out fires in apart
ment houses and store buildings. Be-
fore dawn the plant of the ATLANTIC
City Electric Company was inundated
and every light in the city went out. ;,
Trolley tracks were under water and
the foundations of cottages along Chel-
sea and Ventnor beaches shaken. Side
avenues Of the city were overfowed
and the meadows covered to such a
depth that train service was demoral-
lied. Beach structures Of all sorts
were wrecked.
Longport was foot deep in water
and the Aberdeen Hotel seriously men,
aced.
The. only shipwreck along the coast
reported last night was that of the
2.869-ton tanker Currier, owned by the
Gulf Refining Company, which was
driven on Ragged Reef, off Nantucket
Island. Captain Godfrey L. Garden,
commander of the Coast Guard at the
Battery, tried in vain to reach the Bos-
ton station by telephone. and finally
resorted to the wireless. A cutter was
sent to the vessels relief from Boston,
The Currier was on her way from Bos-
ton to Bayonne. Her skipper is Cap
tain Wahl and she carries crew of
thirty-eight.

Ward Line Ships Still
Under rivate Control
With United Fruit, 1t Has Not
Yet Been Taken Over by
Government
0OVernDent

In taking control of four coastwise
steamship companies, the Federal au-
thorltles have now in charge all ex-
cept two of the lines carrying passen-
gers and cargo south from this port.
The lines still under private control
are the Ward Line and the United Fruit
Line, both containing the largest and
most valuable vessels in the southern
trade. The steamships of these COM
panles run to Cuba. Central and South
America, and are equipped with wire
less.
The lines taken over under Pres;-
Dental proclamation are: Clyde, NAL
lory, Merchants and Miners and South
eIn.
The vessels of the Ward and the
United Fruit lines are better adapted
than the ships seized for transatlantic
transport service, and it is thought pos
sible they may be used ultimately for
the purpose

Merchants Urge
Four Wheatless
Days in April
Broadway Association Asks
Mayor Hylan to Issue
a Proclamation

Another step in its campaign against
food wastage and for the more rigid
conservation of wheat, was taken YES
terday by the Broadway Association,
when the board Of directors at a spe-
cial meeting passed resolution urg-
ing Mayor Hylan to issue, proclama-
tion designating four additional wheat
less days this month. The resolution
asks that this proclamation be read in
all churches in greater New York to-
morrow.
The proclamation urged will ask all
citizens to abstain from the use of all
wheat products on April Is and 16 and
April % and 23. This will give New
York three wheatless days a week for
fortnight. This action, the associa-
tion believes, will 90 far to relieve the
present alarming shortage of wheat
and wheat flour.
The resolution was sponsored by Au
gust Jansen, chairman of the food
conservation committee of the associa-
tion. Mr. Jansen said that the hotel
and restaurant proprietors of the city
at recent meeting resolved not to
use any wheat products in their places
of business, starting tomorrow.
Agitation by this food conservation
committee was directly responsible for
an ordinance making food wastage a
misdemeanor, punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment, passed by the Board of
Aldermen. An investigation by the
Board of Health, requested by the com
mittee, showed that nearly 200 pounds
of bread are thrown into the garbage
cans of the city every day.
At the request of the Liberty Loan
Committee, 1000 Honor Flag Boosters
will be distributed to Broadway mer-
chants to-day by the association. 1t
is the desire that every store on Broad
way simultaneously display one Of these
posters in its window on Monday morn
ing. Honor Flag Window Cards also
will be given to all merchants who sub
scribe to the third Liberty Loan.
Following the report of A. r. Shat
terck, chairman Of the Bowling Green
Committee, that relics of subway con-
struction, now accomplished, are detr
mental to lower Broadway, the associa-
ton will take this matter up with the
Public Service Commission. Mr.. Shat
terck reported that board fences, tool
houses and other structures used bv
the subway contractors have been left
standing and are great nuisance.

Dr.. Thomas's Teachings
DR.. Thomas for some time was much
IN demand for his lectures on sociology
teachings were:
"Womcn are better off for having
had their fling as men do. Dissipated
women often make excellent wives.
"Chivalry is the persistence of the
old race habit of contempt for women.
ANY girl, mentally mature, has the
right to have children and the right to
limit their number.
"Thc morality of women is an expe-
dlency rather than ar innate virtue.
"Marrlage as it exists to-day is rap
idly approaching form of immortality.
"Matrlmony is often an arrangement
by which the woman trades her ire
proachable conduct for irreproachablc
gowns.
"Children are not the result of mar
riage, but marriage is the result of
children"
DR.. Thomas and Mrs Granger this
afternoon were examined by the Dis
trict Attorney in the presence of IN
assistant skilled in Mann act proceed
lngs. They were allowed to leave the
Federal Building on their own recogn:-
zance.
mo action will be taken to-day"
said District Attorney Clyne "Although
we have the results of the investiga
ton of the Department Of Justice, VIC
feel that we must make additional in
vestigation ourselves, because there are
several peculiar angles to the case"
