Form ORGANIZATION With f.
200 Members and Present
Demand TO Garrison for,
Wage of 90 Gents an Hour
Also Want l0.Hour Day
Decry Use of Register In
spectors, Saying System
Impusns Their Honesty

1t became known yesterday that the
employees Of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company, who are members of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees, have
presented formal demands to Lindley
NJ. Garrison, recently appointed re-
celver OF the company, for increases
in pay, shortening of hours and abol-
ishing Of so-called registering in
spectors.
Although Mr.. Garrison has received
the demands of the men, it is not
known how soon he Will be able to
consider them, as it was said at the
Offices of the company in Brooklyn that
Mr.. Garrison is at present engaged
legally in New Jersey in connection
with the Black Tom disaster.
Mr.. Garrison, however, was quoted
as saying several weeks ago that the
officials of the road were always will
ing to meet the old employees of the
corporation to discuss differences and
adjust difficulties. These officials have
declared, however, that they will not
treat with any one who is not en-
ployed by the road.
This is interpreted to mean that
delegates of union will not be re-
ceived by the company officials. 1t
was said at the local Offices of the
company, where the B. r. T. employees
have an association, that this assocla-
tion had nothing to do with the de-
mands that have been made.
For the past few weeks, it is un-
derstood, the men have been busily en-
gagged in forming their union. Last
week, it is said, there were approx
mately 300 men in the union. An
additional 500 workers were recruited
in the last few days, it is declared,
bringing the total union strength ap-
proXimately to 4,200.
The men want 60 cents an hour and
a ten hour day. with nine hours actual
work over an eleven hour period This
would enable chem to get two hour
leave for meal Is and rest. They also
demand that they be paid 90 cents an
hour for overtime work.
At present the men are receiving
from $40 to $4.90 a day, according to
length of service.
One of the demands, said to ne
strongly advanced by the men, is that
for the abolition Of the registering in
spectors. Under this system two men
board a crowded car, one stations him
self on the front platform and another
on the rear. They count the pas
sengers as they alight and compare the
number of passengers with the number
of fares registered
If the counts do not agree, the in
spectors, the men say, order the con-
ductor to ring up the number Of fares
alleged to be lacking. This system i'm
poses a severe hardship on them, they
declare, because the cars of the B. r. T.
are perhaps the most crowded in the
country, and on such cars it is impos-
siblc to collect all the nickels. They de-
clare that their honesty is impugned by
this system.

Mother Seeks Boys,
Has Father Held ON
Larceny Charge

The immediate cause Of Arthur B.
Chamberlin's arrest at 2 o'clock yes
terday morning in his rooms at the
Hotel Stratford, II East Thirty third
Street, was an Indictment charging
him with grand larceny. His arrest
and consignment to the Tombs were
indirectly caused by the disappearance
of his two sons, James and John, aged
eight and six.
Three years ago Mr.. Chamberin and
his wife, trained nurse now living
at 3l7 West Forty-fifth Street, sepa-
rated and the Court of Domestic Re-
lations awarded the custody of the
children to the mother, together with
Last October Mrs. Chamberlin brought
action for legal separation and ali
mony in the Supreme Court and has
been awaiting a decision by Justice
Donnelly
Meanwhile she placed the children
with Mrs. W. II. Hooper, Highwood
Park, Weehawken, N. j., and was, ac-
cording to her statement yesterday,
liberal in allowing her husband to see
the boys.
But" she said, bit tearfully, "he
called me week ago Saturday and
asked to keep them over night. On
hIOIIuey lc dShcu IL ne COuIQ take LnGln
to see the 9th parade, and from that
time | haven't seen or heard from
the children"
Her attempt to recover the children
and her inability to get in touch with
her husband led to his arrest yester-
day. Learning that Mr.. Chamberlin
was living at the Stratford, Mrs.
Chamberlin went there. but was told
repeatedly that Chamberlin was not in.
Mrs. Chamberlin took the matter up
with Headquarters. Detective O'Con-
nell, She said, remembered that per
son named Arthur Chamberln was in
dlcted last August for grand larceny on
charges made by Mrs. Edna Z. Rice
then staying at the Waldorf Astoria
O'Connell and other detectives went
to the Stratford at 2 o'clock yesterday
morning and asked for Chambcrlin.
Told he was not in, they forced their
way to his room through a window and
found him in bed. In the room, the de-
tectlves say, they found revolver; so
IN addition to other charges made
against him was that of violating the
Sullivan law.
Mrs. Chamberlin has taken out writ
of habeas corpus for the children, and
this will be brought up to-day. At the
same time Chamberlin will be ar
raigned on the grand larceny indict-
ment before Judge Rosalsky in the
Court of General Sessions
The mother is continuing her search
for The children.

Bad Brakes Figure ia
Malbone Tunnel Trial
Effort Made TO Show Car Equip
nlent, Not Motorman, Caused
3. Il. 7. Wreck

MINEOLA, L. l., April 1.-The possi-
bility that defective brakes, instead Of
the carelessness of Edward Luciano.
the motorman, may have been respon-
sible for the B. r. T. wreck Of No
vember /, which cost upward of ninety
lives, was brought out in the Supreme
Court here today, where Luciano is
on trial on a charge of manslaughtcr
William B. Gobc, superintendent Of
equipment of the B. r. r. testified
that the train was composed of three
motor cars and two trailers lie was
asked which cars would leave the rail
first if the brakes Of the trailer cars
were defective.
Most probably derailment would
take place on the second or rear truck
of the fsst trailer" he replied.
"Now, when you examined the cars"
Judge Smith, attorney for the defence,
continued, (Which truck was on the
track and which was off ?"
"The forward truck of the first
trailer was on; the rear truck off,
the witness replied.

AutOn1Otiues

The discovery Of a new fuel based on
alcohol, such as is announced by COM
pany which makes speciality of man
ufacture Of industrial alcohol, is Of
interest to motorists if, as stated, the
fuel is completely satisfactory for in
ternal engine uses and at the same time
is to cost less than gasolene. Work to
the end of producing an adequate fuel
for engines with alcohol for base,
has been going on great many years,
but up to the present, if indeed now,
not one has been satisfactory. With
market it will be relief to find any
fuel that represents as much energy
as the best gasolene, at presumably a
lower cost.
This is not by any means the first
announcement of a "new fuel" In
fact, in the last few years there have
been all sorts of such things Most
of them, however, were supposed to
consist largely of water and some other
ingredients rather more mysterious.
When tried out they showed up as
figuring out their cost tho totals
made manufacture prohibitive. The
size Of the company backing the new
alcohol fuel is q guarantee of ability
to produce something worth while.
The return to production in the
motor vehicle field is being made slow
ly as yet. Those manufacturers who
seemed to believe that they would be
going full speed in turning out cars
only a couple of months after the
armistice was signed have by no
means attained that schedule. A local
des 'er, George S. Morrow, who returned
yesterday from Detroit, reported that
t factory he represents, the Saxon,
Is working on a schedule of about 800
ca.r for the month, which is, to be
sure, about as good as any month in
the past twelve. But this isn't any
wi ere ncar the demand for the r od-
ct. His visit has convinced him tha.
it i: mt going to be easy to get rars for
all the customers he will have this
sll ng.
Statistics to be valuable should be
v hon we read coming from the self
Society, that 1872 persons were ki.le
by automobiles on the highways in
\, W York the first three months of hi
year we wonder what proportion of
such accident: is to the carel S.
ness of the car oper tor, and what art
to 'le neglig, nee of the pedestrian.
also. are there included in these tctals
joy-riding smashdps and tie like, in
which the motorist and his party come
to iief! And, just a, matter of
curiosity, who stands sponsor for the
accuracy of the figures anyway?
