TWO DEAD, / DYING

Accident Takes Place in Boiler
Room of Sherwood
Aldrich'S Craft.

Sherwood Aldrich's yacht the Flyer
was wrecked and three men aboard were
injured fatally yesterday by a mystic
rious explosion in the yachts boiler
room. Two of the men died on the way
to the Southampton Hospital. The third

The Flyer was lying of the National
Golf Club dock. in the Peconic Bay near

cliffe, l.. l., the chief engineer; John r.
Greene OF Ridgewood. y. j.. Carhart's
assistant, and Daniel Hutchinson. 1872

were in the boiler room. Mr. and Mrs.
Aldrich and their guests were not aboard.
The yacht has been In commission all
summer and was known as one of the
best crafts of its size on the Sound. She
recently had been inspected and was
pronounced In excellent condition.
Whether the three men In the boiler
room were working or not could not be
ascertained. There was a terrific explo-
sion and the Flyers deck and super
structure were blown into the air as
though by dynamite.
Almost Immediately a dense volume
OF steam began rising from the rolling
hull. Several attempts by men from
other yachts TO climb into the wreckage
was frustrated by the steam. but at last
entrance by way OF an after hatch was
effected. Carhart, Green and Hutchin-
son were hauled out OF the hold by
ropes. Each was so badly scalded that
Carhart and Greene died soon after the
ambulance started toward the hospital
Hutchinson was stll alive when the am
bulance reached Southampton. but the
doctors declare his chances OF recovery
amount to nothing.

Ing Of not over three men commanding
the public confidence.
1T Is notorious that many OF the State
commissions grossly discriminate In
favor of their own citizens In the matter
OF both passenger and freight rates, and
in favor OF merchants, manufacturers
and producers in their own States
against citizens of other States. This
discrimination is not only unjust as be-
tween the particular individuals con-
cerned, but rate adjustments are often
such as TO relieve the lntrastate traffic
OF some States from contributing Its just
share TO the transportation expenses Of
the nation. The effect moreover has
often disturbed and disarranEed the
structure of interstate rates and fares.
1T Is not too much to say that the
present interstate and foreign rates on
traffic of immense volume and impor-
tance from very large sections of the
country have been practically dictated
by State commissions.
DISCRIMINATION Is not the only
feature Of the system. II IL the evasion
of the obligation of all tho traffic to bear
as equitably as possible a Just share of

L. $. TO Regulate Rates.
'My conviction Is that the only way
to accomplish this is to give the Federal
Government exclusive authority to reg
ulate all railroad rates, interstate as
well as interstate. l do not advocate
the abolition OF the State commissions.
There are many important functions for
them to perform. I believe that the head
of the Department of Transportation
should be a member OF the Cabinet.
Recent experience has demonstrated
the necessity for a national Government
officer TO meet emergencies resulting
from exceptional congestion In traffic or
through blocksdes OF transportation by
quickly mobilizine the transportation re-
sources. and by the arbitrary diversion.
II need be, Of traffic from lines which
cannot handle II to lines which can, and
by other instant and heroic methods.
"a power so vast should be committed
to no commission employee. and to no
officer of less rank than a Cabinet nierrT=
Der who Is a part OF the Administration
and Is in direct touch with the President
and can change his orders instantly to
meet changing conditions.
"A stronger reason still why a Cabinet
member should be at the head Of the
transportatio. department Is that the
railroad business is unrepresented In the
Government-is without any friend at
court"

Salvation, Asserts Frank
II. Fayant.

An analysis Of railroad earnings for
the FIRST 1--WE months of 1919 made by
Frank II. Fayant, assistant to the chair
man OF the Association OF Railway Exec
utives, reveals how the high cost OF Nv
Ing has raised railroad operating costs
for labor and materials and cut deeply
into net income Mr.. Fayant notes
that the yield on the 31S.Oo0,o00.0O0 OK
railroad investment has fallen TO about
2h per cent, or less than half the rate
considered as the danger line In 1914 by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
THE Government war guarantee OF
income alone stands between the carriers
and bankruptcy" Mr.. Faysnt states IN
tho analysis presented yesterday. ana
an early readjustment OF freight rates
to the new level of operating costs Is
inevitable.
Commodity prices have gone up lou
per cent. since the beginning OF the war.
Wages have advanced IS per cent. The
average unit cost OF railroad labor ana
materials has advanced 90 per cent as
a result Of the war. Steadily increasing
efficiency OF the transportation machine
was all that prevented unit cost OF OPP
grafton from rising the full 80 per cent,
the average trainload increasing from
4s2 to 5s7 tons. or 80 per cent. Last
year II was raised to 625 tons, further
gain Of 5 per cent. Therefore the actual
cost of producing transportation may be
figured as having risen about 50 per
cent.

COURT AID INVOKED
IN DRIVERS STRIKE
Ward Company Charges Milk
and Express Employees
Fight Their Product.

The Ward Bread Company OF Brook
Ign has asked Justice Charles II. Keiby
Of the Supreme Court TO grant a perma-
mont injunction restraining the union
milk wagon drivers and employees Of
the American Railway Express on the
Long Island Railroad from interfering
with the company's business In connec-
ton with the strike Of the Ward driY-
ers. Argument on the application will
be heard Friday and in the meantime
temporary Injunction will operate to
prevent the defendants from participant
ing In the striking bakery wagon driv-
ers' warfare against their employees.
II Is alleged by the company's Of
foIals that since the strike has been In
progress drivers employed by the big
milk distributing concerns have sent
notices to Rrocers and delcatessen deal
ers warning them not to handle Ward
bread. In come cases. II IL claimed. the
warnings were oral. This alleged inter-
ference, the complainants aver. followed
an appeal for help by their striking
drivers to the Brooklyn local TO which
the milk wagon drivers belong.
Tho express employees. Il is alleged
refused to handle baskets and packages
sent TO express stations by the baking
company. Many OF these baskets were
lost or allowed to remain Just where
they were. the papers set forth, because
the express handlers declined to touch
them. The company has suffered a big
loss, II is contended. owing to this mani
restation of sympathy for It's striking
drivers. o
The Ward drivers have prosecuted
their strike operations with much vigor.
Many strike incidents have found
their way into the police courts. Men
who took the places OF striking drivers
have been beaten up. In some OF the
cases in which the police were compelled
to act It was alleged that assaults we're
committed by strikers working in "en-
tertainment committees of three.

with returns before us for nearly
half the year II is now possible to take
some measure OF the rate relief that will
probably be necessary to keep the roads
self-supportlng. The Eastern roads for
the Ave months would have earned their
guarantee had the rates on freight aver
aged 20 per cent. higher. while 10 per
cent. higher freight rates on the South
ern and Western roads would have
brought them out even. 1t Is plain that
transportation is now being furnished
at much less than cost. because the in
crease in labor and material costs have
been much more than double the in
creases In rates for service"

monthly reports of the cost OF living
shows that during tho great war rise In
prices railroad wages have advanced
somewhat moro than tho cost Of living
The five months earnings statements
show that the Eastern roads, serving the
more congested Industrial region from
Chicago to the seaboard. are most In
need Of relief through higher rates. This
condition Is similar to that In 1914 and
1917, when tho Interstate Commerce
Commission gave these carriers the bulk
Of the rate advances. In the Ave months
the Eastern lines have earned a net OPP
Grating income OF but si7.bo3.0o, as
compared with $l24.5i3.ooo in the same
months in the test period. The twelve
months average income in the test period
was Ss60,514,0o0. In five months they
have earned only one-twentieth Of this

the Eastern lines this year will be as
large as the total deficit for all roads

Rate Raise 3S Per Cent.

During the same period the rates
charged for carrying freight and passen-
gers have advanced about 80 per cent.
It Is this wide disparity between a 80
per cert. rise in rates and an SO per
cent. rise in costs that has cut the net
income down to a figure that would spell,
bankruptcy II the deficit we're not being
met by the public treasur%.
Comparing the earnings for the first
FIVE months of 1919 with the average for
these same months in the Government

penses have risen 80 per cent, while
revenues have risen only ~ per cent.
