CITIZENS UNION FOR

Indispensable to New York.

A report OF special committee OF the
Citizens Union favoring the port treaty
between New York and New Jersey,

and Philadelphia. are capturing New

lines. with the exception OF the New
York Central. have their terminals in
New Jersey.
The city of New York cannot solve
the port problem without cooperating

New Jersey Is nearest to the West, she
has vast waterfront property undevel-
oped, cheaper land, and can go ahead in

ONLY 3 BILLS TO BE-
PASSED AT ALBANY
Appropriation, Tax and Meas

specioi Despatch to The SCR.

Albany, March 20.-It Is becoming
increasingly apparent that about all the
present session OF tho Legislature in
tends to do in the way OF legislation is
to pass the annual appropriation bills
carrying about s9o,ooo,ooO, a measure
providing some form of taxation for
raising $25,oo0,0Oo. and the Governors
bill for a single Public Service Commits
sioner for New York city and Rapid
Transit Commissioner. Most of the i'm
portant legislation that has been intro
ducsd is to be killed.
Although harmony does not seem to
be prevalent in the ranks OF the Re-
publican majority--and there was row
at the Tuesday and Wednesday night
conference.-the Republicans seem to
be willing to stand together to kill
nearly all OF the so-called radical legis-
lation that might be brought up by the
Democrats The measures that were not
disposed OF at the meeting of the Re-
publican executive committee Tuesday
night were definitely put on the they

Republican Senators and Assemblymen
The first results came to-day when
women lobbyists that the eight hour bill

ton. and bills giving women office work
ers the same protection as factory work.
ers, would not be passed.
The women Immediately issued n
statement denouncing the Speaker, and
accused him OF dominating the work of
the Assembly. They place directly upon
him the responsibility for killing their
mea sures.
Legislation which Is now considered
dead" SO far as this session is con-
cerned, includes prohibition enforcement
bills. the 3 per cent beer bill. the hydro
electric bill of the State conference OF
Mayors all municipal ownership bills
compulsory health insurance and legis-
lation changing the administration OF
the States agricultural matters. which
would have meant the elimination Of al
least one SIC, 1000 a year job.
There was much discussion in the
Senate to-day about the row in the Re
publican conferences. The trouble
reached an acute stage in the discussion
OF the municipal ownership bills wher
! twenty Senators said they did not favoI
the legislation. Senator Ross Graves Of
Erie said he would not be bound by the
conference action. Senator Walter!
said:
Yet you were willing to force me by
party caucus to vote for prohibition
against my personal views"
"If had been a leader in that pre-
dicament I should have resigned" said
Senator Graves.

PREVENTION and recommendations. 1t con-
tinues:
by whomever sanctioned. such con-
donement of the violation of an arbi-
traitors award IL reprehensfble II Is
doubly harmful when sanctioned by gov
ernmental authority, for 1t is then tanta-
mount to notice that tho Government
will not enforce the obligations OF good
faith, but on the contrary will reward
the delinquents by conceding their de-
mand. 1t Is obvious that such a posi-
ton taken by the highest Governmental
officials must have a far reaching and
exceedingly harmful effect.
But in the present case concession to
bad faith is not the only nor tho most
disturbing feature. The surrender of
governmental rights is even more
serious.
This means the surrender by the Gov
eminent OF the power to control the peo-
pies affairs ana the practical vesting of
such power IN striking employees.
Against these actions by your De-
partment and the other Governmental
agencies involved we earnestly protest,
because:
"(1) 1t creates an official precedent de-
structive Of the principle and practice OF
arbitration. and
"(2) 1t surrenders the sovereign power
of the Government in Disregard OF the
Presidents statement that, I am sure
that the War and Navy Departments
the Shipping Board and tho Railroad
Administration and any other Govern
ment agencies interested In the contro-
versy will use all the power which they
possess TO make your findings effective.
"In taking this stand We express no
opinion upon the merits Of the original
differences between the marine workers
and their employers"

Western Union Mercuries Be-
low 42d Street Demand
Union Recognition.
BACKED BY SOCIALISTS
Assertion Is Made That Finan-
cial District Will Be Tied
Up To-day.

One thousand messengers employed by
the Western Union Telegraph Company
below Forty-second street in Manhattan
went on strike yesterday afternoon, ac-
cording to a statement issued last night
by the executive committee of the Mes
sengers' Union. A call for n general strike
has been issued, and union officials as
serted that the Wall Street district
would be tied up with the opening OF
business this morning. Nlnety-five per
cent of all the Western Union mes
sengers in the city will quit work to-day.
It was said.
The strike was precipitated when the
Western Union, IL Is said, discharged the
members of the messengers union execu-
tive committee. The union demands that
the rate for delivering messages be
raised from two and half to three
cents; that the zone system, recently
adopted. be discarded, and that the union
organization be recognized
Orders for the strike were issued, so
II was said, after 500 union members had
signed slips favoring such action. Two
hundred non-union messengers Joined
the strikers the committee members as
serted. The situation was further COM
plicated, the union leaders said, when the
Western Union sought to hire other nom
union messengers to take the places of
the strikers
The union held a meeting last night at
The Labor Temple, Fourteenth street and
Second avenue, where plans for the strike
were discussed and arrangements were
made to have the Wall Street district
picketed to-day. 1t was said that there
were about 10000 messengers IN the city,
but that the strike affected only those In
the employ of the Western Union.
The work of organizing the mes
sengers' union has been in progress for
the last two months. Workers in the So
cialist party have taken an active part
and meetings have been held at the So
cialist headquarters in Second avenue
near Seventh street
1t was stated at the offices OF the
Western Union last night that "a few
of the boys were on strike, but officials
of the company asserted that the bust
ness was being handled satisfactorily.
I'VE will not know just how serious
! the trouble is ourselves until morning"
1t was said.

they would not discriminate against
workers who took part In the organlza-

responsible for starting the strike.
When this was communicated to the
union officials there was a disposition
to accept the full terms offered by the
manufacturers and end the strike. The
terms provide for a forty-eight hour
week, recognition OF shop committees
and overtime pay. Mr.. Flurrey told the
unionists who stood out for recognition
of the union that they already control
