more trolley employees of the Public
Service Railway Company of this
state, through a meeting of their Joint
Conference Board here. have drawn

tions. The demands were put before

the company will be given until mid

no agreement is reached by that time,
the demands read, mass meetings will
be held throughout the state Tuesday

to presume that the ocean will be

TEACHERS TO STRIKE
What Joy Would Come to School
Children Everywhere.

Trenton, March 3.--In order to bring
the people of the state to their senses
the teachers of the state should form
Il union and go out on Il strike, is the
opinion expressed by John I. Murray
of Jersey City, Il member of the State
Board of Education, at the meeting of
that body here Saturday. He said the
inadequate salaries received by the
teachers is barely enough to live on.
Mr.. Murray was recently named to
look into the matter of teachers sal
aries, and, While not making Il report
last Saturday, he endeavored to sound
or: the opinion of the members in the
matter of establishing IL minimum
wage
1t was asserted by Mr.. Murray that
unless some action is taken to make
the teaching profession more attrac-
tive the severe effect will be felt two
years from now, if not sooner, and
said that New York and Pennsylvania
are going to pay higher salaries and
sey for its teachers and will get them
He further asserted that If the at
tendance at the Trenton and Newark
Normal Schools continues to fall off
there will be absolutely no need for
the proposed South Jersey Normal
School at Glassboro.
Melvin A. Rice of Red Bank was re-
elected president of the Board of Ed

This testimony of Commissioner Dill
was made in an effort to show that the
Hudson car was really the property of

if possible, a link in the chain of evil
dence that the defense is trying to
weave to show that Detective Taylor
received money for the protection of

which was written by Supreme Court
Justice Bergen, held that the Public
Utility Commission had the power to
increase rates even though no valua-
ton of the companies property had
been made just prior to the granting
of the increases
The opinion said that the board is
which it operates in all cases to make
such valuation of the property of a
trolley company in order to ascertain
what increases in rates should be
charged to provide costs of operation
due to the advances in the price of la
bor,, materials and taxes to meet the
cost of the war with Germany.
The court further held that where
such increases granted are only sutfi-
cient to avoid Il deficit in operations
no real purpose can be served by "a
valuation of all the companies prop
erty, and it is not a prerequisite, and
the statute does not require it,
The only appeal possible now lies in
taking the contention to the United
States courts. The minority opinion
holding the increased fare Illegal and
void was concurred in by Chancellor

TRENTON DEMOCRATS
WANT BOND ISSUE FOR
TUNNEL AND BRIDGE

Trenton. March 5.-The Republicans
of the state senate will have the ques-
ton pointedly asked them next Mon
day hight whether they desire to- cons
tinue the present state policy of levy
ing direct taxation burdens upon the
people for big state improvements or
whether they believe in the policy of
making those who most directly bene-
fit bear the cost of the improvements
This issue will have to be met by the
majority party in the senate when the
bill introduced by the Democrats, I'M
der the leadership of Senator Edward
l. Edwards, of Hudson county comes
up for vote 1t proposes a bond issue
for the purpose of defraYing the eX-
pense of the building of the Hudson
river vehcular tunnel and the Della
ernor Edge is to levy another direct
tax for this purpose. just as is now be-
ing done for the road program Ed
wards wants Il bond issue, and his bill
would have the payment of the bonds
betrayed out of the motor vehicle
funds received by the state.
The Hudson senator contends that
the owners of motor vehicles will bene-
fit most from the tunnel and bridge
improvements. He has already won
one victory in the fact that his bill
was reported out of the Senate High
ways Committee. which is Republican
controlled. Senator Bright of Cape
May, the chairman of the committee,
a Republican, is understood to be in
favor of the bill. He is a Republican
of the progressive type and refuses to
do the bidding of any party leader
whose views do not agree with his
own
During the past week the first of the
series of important Democratic bills to
be introduced this session was killed
by the Republican senate--namely. the
Edwards measure to reorganize the
state highway department by cutting
the board Of eight members, which
governs that department, to Il board of

Thanks to the present Bergen coun-

ing to show that the gamblers never
made any such statements that they
had applied to County Detective John
b. Taylor for protection. That the
gamblers. who were wise men. knew
better than to even approach Detec-
tive Taylor for protection, knowing
that the county detective was not in
position to give the protection they
sought, but that Il man higher up"
who, Mr. Westcott said, was alleged to
have been an official who was recently
elected to office, and that this official
could be Senator Mackay.
