NelU Door Deuice
Tried on Subway
Experiment OF One Guard
Controlling T,Uo Cars
Is Prouing Successful

Evidently few subway guards more
or less make no difference to the New
York travelling public. Since last
Monday an almost guardless subway
train--a ten-car express with crew
of only six, including the motorman
has been making four round trips
daily on the West Side line between
Bronx Park and South Ferry, and
scarcely any one has noticed it,
The train is an experiment, intended
to test a new electrical door opening
device, by means of which one guard
can operate all the doors of two cars.
Each of the five guards on the expert
mental train stands between the two
cars to which he is assigned, in the
same position taken by the guards on on
an ordinary train. At his left hand
is little box. from the bottom of
which project three small levers. At
his right hand is another Just like
it. Each box of levers controls both
end doors and the side door of the
car to which it is attached. There
fore, every second pair Of platforms
is without a guard
Employees of the company, with stoD
watches, pencils and pads, are keep
ing a careful check on the time re-
CURED by the experimental train in
getting away from each station.
ut takes no longer to close the
doors of this train than those of a
train with nine guards" said one of
these employees yesterday. "The ex-
pertinent, apparently has been sue
cessful,
Some of us feared that passengers
would be caught in the closing doors,
since each guard has so many to take
care of. However, this train has NOT
had single accident of any kind since
1T has been running"
The experiment will continue for two
weeks. After that time engineers of
the company will review the results of
the trial and make any improvements

Murder Jury Disagrees
Second Trial Fails to Solve
Barrel Death" Mystery

After deliberating twenty-three
hours over Brooklyn's barrel murder
mystery, the jury was discharged bv
Justice Cropsey in the Supreme Court
yesterday. The defendant, Giovanni
Anzeimo, was accused of having been
one of the three men who stabbed Gas
perlno Candello November 7. Seven
ballots were taken by the jury, the
final vote being eleven to one for nc
quittal.
The disagreement ends the second
triai OF the case. The first jury failed
to agree.
Inc crime was alleged to have re-
suited from the sale by Candello to
Anzeimo OF $500 worth of tomato
paste, which Anzelmo maintained was
IN bad condition. Candello's body was
put IN barrel and was found on n
vacant lot

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Milford chronicle., 1919-09-05

railroads has pointed out to the EN-.
ployees that any further increases in
their wages, after the very hea8y in
crease of last year, would only result
IN increasing the cost of all produc-
ton, and so raising the prices of all
necessities.
Government officials who are sim
cerely desirous of adequately coping
with the situation brought upon by
war prices, and helping all working
I people to earn adequate wages, point
out that the bulk of all cost of produc-
ton in this country is the cost OF
labor, and that every increase of
wages raises the cost Of production
and so raises prices to the consuming
public. They show that the country
will never get on a normal basis of
prices by continuous increases in
wages. which simply raise all prices
higher. Some of the more broad
guaged labor leaders are of the same
opinion, and they are pointing out to
their followers that constant increases
IN wages only react against the wage
earners, and in effect make them prof
iteers on each other. But these con-
servative labor leaders find it diff
cult to get a hearing. The members OF
their unions are more ready to listen
to the leaders who promise to get
higher wages for them.

take a long time to get prices of food
stuffs and other necessities of life .
back to normal. Senator Cummins
says that the attempts to obliterate
the relation between employer and
employee should not be tolerated. and
he expresses doubt as to whether
civilization can survive the termina-
ton Of this relation. Senator Reeds
advice is mot to fan the present price
agitation into a conf1agration." The
Vice President philosophers: "The
people on earth should be given an op-
portunity to cool down and reach
like a normal condition"

NOLAN WAGE BILL
GOESTOCALENDAR

The Nolan minimum wage bill. iX-
ing the minimum compensation OF all
persons employed by the District and
Federal governments, has been re-
ported favorably by the House Com
mittee on Labor, and will go on the
calendar
More than twoscore labor organiza-
tions and others have given their in
dorsement of the measure, and several
representatives Of these bodies APP
peared before the committee at hear
ings.
The total number of District gov
eminent employees affected Is given at
1872; United States Government en-
ployes affected number 62,474.
To put the provisions OF the bill in
effect would cost the District gov
eminent S1,24s, 500. The additional
expense to the Government would be
$23,755,696.
Here is the minimum wage scale
fixed by the bill:
Daily wage not less than So; II
employed by the hour, not less than
3715 cents per hour: IL employed by
the month, not less than $50 a month;
If employed by the year, not less han
S1,0S0 a year.
This measure will foster true
Americanism and is one OF the fe w
sound measures of preparedness that
the Sixty-sixth Congress has had
placed before it," says the report of
the Labor Committee.
There may be some who will say
that SO per day is too high a rate for
the men and women employed by the
Government.
But would they like to labor for
or try to raise a family and live on
that or less? Wages Of the unskilled
laborers all over the country have
been advancing, and they are not
far from this rate. Strikes and walk
outs are taking place among the I'M
organized, unskilied workers all over
the country for advances in wages to
meet increased prices, and this will
continue until the low-paid workers
in industry are given greater con-
sideration."

URGES $50 PENSION
FOR DEAF SOLDIERS

Congressman DalIinger has intro
duced a bill to increase the pension
for total deafness to $50 month. The
measure would affect all persons who
lose their hearing due to causes orig
mating in the military or naval serv-
ice and in the line OF duty.
In lieu of the amount now paid in
cases of partial deafness, the bill pro-
vides that there shall be paid such
proportion of the rate fixed by the
bill for total deafness as the Secretary
Of the Interior may deem equitable,
the amount to be paid to be deter
mined by the degree Of deafness ex.
listing in each case.
