QUESTIONNAIREF FOR
MOTORISTS Is FIXED
Hugo and Automobiles Agree
on License Application
Queries.

Some of the proposed State automobile
law reforms were attacked as inefica-
cious at yesterdays conference OF car
owners and officials in the Commodore
Hotel.
This discussion, over which Francis NJ
Hugo. Secretary of State. presided, CEN
tired about the QUESTIONABLE plan by
which It Is proposed to make all appli-
cants for motor car licenses answer a
long series of questions.
The critics OF the scheme, Of whom
there were many, including Albert w.
Seaman. chairman OF the legislative
committee of the State Automobile AS
ISOLATION. commended that It would fail
in Its purpose to eliminate the incom-
petent and reckless driver.
Questions which Mr.. Hugo, Magistrate
w. Bruce Cobb and others favored In
sorting in the blank forms to be filled
out by applicants for licenses would ask
for example. whether the applicant had
read and understood the motor law OF
the State. To this. the critics said, any
one could simply write Yes" ever
| though he might have no knowledge OF
II whatever.
Magistrate Cobb favored this type OF
question, saying that it was not the oh.

Mr.. Wilson said, shat Just as soon as
we have gone through our readjustment
period from war time activities to peace
time industry and commerce there
will be a greater demand for our product
than we have ever had, with a limited
supply of labor, and so reduction in
the wage rates would only be for brief
period, between the attempt at the re-
duction of wages and the time when the
extra demand for labor is bound to fol-
low" 49,
Asked by Senator Lockwood whether
or not in his Judgment the price of labor
and materials will come down. Secretary
Wilson said:
IT think that there Is possibility
and n probability that there will be
some reduction in cost OF material that
by virtue of prices that had obtained
during the war. which had been fixed or
otherwise created for the purpose OF
stimulating even the high cost plants
there has been an increase in the labor
cost of material that approximated SO
per cent during the period of the war
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-06-08

argued that IL the QUESTIONABLE were to
amount to anything they should require
applicants TO make answers showing
their knowledge OF the law. Otherwise
he said II would be impossible to judge
OF their qualifications.
The yes or no" form of questions runs
all through the proposed questNonnaire
and the same remarks were made ABOUT
them where they appeared In other parts
OF the form that the conferees considered
important.
These objections. however, served only
to cause slight amendments and form
which Mr.. Hugo will try to have incor-
pornted into the automobile laws was
drawn up and approved by a majority
Of those present.
This form, II put into effect, will re-
quire applicants for licenses to operate
motor cars to answer many personal
questions. The qpestions intended to
weed out those unfamiliar with the law
will read. Have you read the motor
vehicle law of this state? Are YOU
familiar with the state highway traffic
law and the rules Of the road? Do you
know the law. ordinances and trafhc
regulations OF the city OF New York;
Some of the other questions agreed
upon are Have you ever had any acci-
dents while operating motor vehicle.
and II so, give full PARTICULARS? Were
you ever convicted of crime or offence
including trafic law ordinance or regu-
lations? Have you ever had any motor
vehicle license or certificate revoked OF
suspended In this State or elsewhere
Is your eyesisht or hearing impaired
Have you any organic affection of the
heart. suffered an attack OF epilepsy
stroke or paralysis or vertigo, or are you
subject to fainting spells? Have you
ever been confined in an asylum or in
stitution for the insane?"
| The ANAL question which the applicant
must answer is one on which there will
doubtless be placed great variety OF
Individual construction. 1t reads. "Ar'
you addicted to the use Of intoxicating
liquors. drugs or narcotics in any form
or manner? II so, to what extentP

the committee, and Assemblymen Sam
mis- and Miller went recently to WASH
ington to get the views OF national
officials on the housing situation and all
agreed that the Secretary of Labor made
most interesting contribution to the
housing symposium.
Mr. Wilson said he was of the opinion
we have reached new price levels that
are not likely to be disturbed by declines
for some time to come. While there was
a probability of some reduction In cost
OF material Che had been asked about
building materially he was satisfied
there Is no likelihood Of a general re-
duction OF wage cost.

New Industries Give Work.


He pointed out that we have engaged
In a number of lines Of industry that We
had not engaged in before. The ship
building industry has been built up from
one that employed but a few tens of
thousands of workers until it now en-
ploys about 100000 men. There has
been a development of the production
OF some raw materials and the produc-
ton of some finished products, such as
chemicals, dye stuffs. &C., all of which
will absorb workers
THE domestic consumption Is likely to
be greater than II has been for a num-
Der of years. Wage workers are in a
better position to be purchasers in the
future than they have been In the past
And then our foreign trade has greater
opportunities than II ever had before
South America, for instance, opens UP
big field to us. Germany had built up
tremendous trade in South America
through furnishing a system of credit
that was suitable TO South American
countries and shipping facilities. That
trade viii have to be supplied from
somewhere aside of South America and
we ought to be able to get our share
of II.
I'VE have laid quite foundation to
secure that trade along the same lines
Reserve act gave the American bankers
for the first time in history the right to
establish branch banks abroad That
means the furnishing Of credits abroad
through American institutions, and those
who have had experience with foreign
trade know how important Ut is that

handled by institutions of the same coun-

do you think the cost Of living will
go down." asked Senator Lockwood.
Il think 1t will go down some was
the reply. II think we now have reached
price levels that are not likely to be
disturbed by a lowering OF prices for
some time to come and my economic
viewpoint is that 1t really makes little
difference TO the public, to the people at
large. whether the price levels are high
or the price levels are low II the price
levels are maintained with some degree
OF stability. The great loss comes when
there Is a change from low levels to high
levels or from high levels to low levels"
Secretary Wilson said he had been
informed that eleven or twelve large
brick manufacturers supplying the brick
market in New York all charge the
same price, although the cost OF labor
has not risen proportionately to the in
creased price of brick. He thought
there ought TO be a possibility OF get
ting brick at the rate that represents the
increased labor cost The only add
tional cost that Is not labor cost, he
| said, is the cost OF the clay in the soil.
The Secretary advised wage workers
not TO buy homes in n single employer
town because II a single employer de-
termines that their employment Is no
longer desired then the homes or the
workmen.

There were some industries where the
increases In the wage rates were high.
There were others where the increase
was low, but the average will approx
mate about so per cent.
The increased cost OF material In
some lines of industry, and in some por-
lions Of other lines of industry has In
creased In the same ratio as the increase
In the cost OF labor. Where that was
the case, where II had increased in the
same ratio and only in the same ratio,
there isn't any likelihood Of there being
reduction in the cost Of material; but
there were some lines Of industry and
some sections Of some other lines Of in
dustry where the cost OF material had
Increased very much more rapidly and
TO q greater extent than the increase in
the labor cost There were some por-
lions of the metal industry where the
Increase had been $50, 200. and as high
as 275 per cent. There is a possibility
OF bringing together that accordium of
prices and squeezing prices materially
and squeezing them down TO the same
| ratio Of increase as there has been In the
| increase in the wage rates. And so
| there Is that possibility, and only that
possibility as see It, of some reduc-
lions In the cost Of material.
There is not likely to be any general
reduction In wage costs As have said
thore may be here and there some re-
auctions where there is not power OF
| resistance on the part OF the wage work
ers themselves. There IL q considerable
power Of resistance, I think a greater
power Of resistance on the part of wag,
workers now than there was imme diatel /,
preceding the war, and they take tn,
ground, and 1t is a very logical ground
that increases in wages have not taker
place and did not take place during tn,
period of the war until after there haC
been an increase in the cost of living
that the wage rate only followed the cos

6eloians Contend They Have Prior
Right to Color Scheme Of Black,
Yellow and Red.

Brussels, Belgium.-Belgian patri-
otto societies are being formed to take
action to prevent the German republic
from adopting the Belgian national
colors-black, yellow and red-fOr its
flag. Intense indignation is manifested
and this is a bit heightened by the plea
that the colors in the new German
emblem will be disposed horizontally
instead of vertically.
An argument against the use Of the
cOlors by the Germans Is that the Bel
gians have actually employed the
black, yellow and red horizontally In
their enthusiastically in their mer-
camille fiags-so they consider they
still have a priority on that position
of the colors as well as the vertical
Use.
The Belgians scorn the plea of the
Germans that they have the right to
use the colors because of their use by
the ancient Germanic empire OF which
Austria was the center.
