extensive survey of sixty motor routes
to ascertain the defective practices and
as far as possible to suggest improve
ment which would stabilize the indus
try. The bureau found that rural
freight is hauled by the farmer who
owns a truck and handles his personal
marketing as well as that of his neigh
Dor by motor, by the local truck oper-
ators who haul farm produce as a bust
ness, by the local automobile or truck
agencies that operate transportation
trucks as a side line, by the city trans
fer company which also engages in
rural hauling, and by the large corpor-
alton which operates a fleet of trucks
over a wide range of territory. Natur-
ally with such a diversity In the haul
ing agencies, there is a similarly wide

Bill For State Control
Of Bridge Gains Favor at

Perth Amboy and the county of Mid

approximately 100000 a year and
Perth AmSoy $4,000. and 1t is esti-
mated that more than eighty per cent
of the traffic over the bridge is what
is known as through traffic. Speaking
of the measure Senator Brown said:
cit is very great injustice to
single out any municipality to bear
this expense, when the bridge is used
almost solely by automobilists from
the state at large and from other
states. 1t is on Route Y of the State
Highway System, and II is only fair
that the maintenance of it should be
borne by the state.
I'm Its present condition no weights
over five tons are allowed on the
bridge, and there is constant fear
that freshet or ice flow will destroy
1t. Not fifteen per cent of the total
use OF the bridge comes from Middle

the responsibility for the reconstruc-
ton, repair and maintenance of the
structure taken over by the state.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 30.--A com

to the development of the port OF
New York and the construction OF a
vebicular tunnel under the Hudson

This decision was reached at con

night attended by Governor Edge OF
New Jersey. the members OF the New

and the New York and New Jersey
Bridge and Tunnel Commission.
The treaty, the governor said, would

of New York will determine. While

New Jersey Ready to Act.


TRENTON, Jan. 80. - Governor
Egde was back at his desk in the state
house today following his conference
last night at Albany with Governor
Smith, New York legislative leaders,
and others interested in the plan for n
1ehicular tunnel under the Hudson
river and the development of the port
of New York. The outcome of the
conference was the understanding
that New York will probably appro-
pirate $1,000,000 at this session Of its
legislature to start its share of the
project. In this event. IL was ex-
planned here today that the law pro-
viding for the direct tax in this state
TO pay for the New Jersey end. which
calls for the first levy OF the tax in
1922. would be advanced to start the
tax this year
1t was also explained that with o
free balance of 100000 in the state
treasury, New Jersey might also de-
eide to appropriate $1.000,000 i'm
mediately to match New York's allow
ance.
New York wants the yehicular tun-
mel to be a toll structure. Governor
Edge is not favorable TO this. but is
willing to concede II TO see the pro-
ject realized. If tolls are charged all
users of the tunnel, each state will
eventually be reimbursed for the ex-
penditure in It's construction.

R. R. MPLOYES
ARE ORGANIZED
Many Organizations, Some
Secret MOT Represented by
Union Spokesman


WASHINGTON. Jan. S0:-Nearly
100000 railroad employees, or one
fourth of the entire members of rail-
road service, have effected some sort
of organization in recent months, ac-
cording to reports received here.
Most of these men had been wholly
unorganZed previously or had be-
ionged to trades which were only
partly organized. Many local organ
izations, 1t is said, now exist secretly
and are known to railroad executives
only through committees which claim
90 represent the men, though not as
union spokesmen.
A large proportion of the recently
organized employees are clerks. main
tenance of way men, shop men and
dining car employees.
Although the railroad administra-
ton never has taken a stand either
for or against extensions of employees
organizations the unionizing move
ment is believed by labor leaders to
have been stimulated by Director
General McAdoo's orders forbidding
determination because of even MEM
bership or non-membership in labor
organizations. Disputes arising be-
tween railroad executives and COM
mittees OF new organized unions have
been settled TO a large extent by the
railroad administration through arbi-
tration although In no case arising in
such way as the question OF recog-
milton of the union is involved.

WATERFRONT
THIEVES ARE
BUSY AGAIN
Matter Also Called to Attention
of Mayor and Chief
of Police

Coal pirates and the brand or
thieves who infest the water front of
this city, making things miserable for
boat owners and men who have plants
along the water front, are again ac-
tive, and in an effort to curb their ac-
tivities federal authorities have been
asked to act.
The matter has also been called to
the attention of Mayor Frank Dorsey
and he has ordered Chief of Police T..
J. Burke to Keep the harbor clean at
ell costs. We don't want any more
OF that here"
During the period of the war the
coal piracy was kept down SO that
lean months were the lot of the men
who ply their nefarious trade all
about the harbor. This was due in
large measure to the fact that the
men who were known, or suspected
to be active in the piracy and aids
to the pirates were refused coastwise
Identification cards, without which
they were unable to operate boats on
the waters of the boy, sound or river.
With the coming OF peace, however,
these restrictions were lifted; IL was
no longer necessary for men to have
these cards TO operate here.
Almost Immediately the trade again
started up. Coal, hawser, paint. rope,
junk and other materials have been
disappearing from boats and docks
about the waterfront. Complaints
have been coming in. Federal agents
have been advised of this activity and
have notified the local fuel admins
traitor, who, in turn, has gotten IN
! touch with the federal authorities, in
an effort TO stamp out the thefts.
When apprised of the fact that
these men were again active Mayor
Frank Dorsey this morning immedi-
ately got In communication with
Chief Burke. He gave him TO under.
stand that "We'n keep that harboI
clean; there'll be no coal piracy here
! if ! can possibly prevent It,"
Just how far this action against
the water rats and thieves will go is
not known. 1t will take considerable
effort to quash the trade entirely.
The men who have been active i'm pi-
rating on the Raritan waters are
known, but they have never been
brought to task for il. SO successful
have they been. and at the same time
30 careful have they been, that IL
seems impossible to pin any charge
down against them.

board James j.. Mcclure was success
