Washington, Sept. 3.-A law to prohibit strikes, or lockouts of rail road employees and thus protect the public from transportation tie ups was advocated by Senator Robinson, Democrat of Arkansas, m an address today in the Senate.
 "The time has come, he said, s'when Congress must protect the public against loss of life and prop erty and widespread suffering which will inevitably result if the rail- roads should be tied up by general strike. The right to strike has heretofore been recognized in our laws, particularly in certain pro- visions of the Clayton act. Those laws should be modified and strikes of employees on railroads engaged in interstate commerce could be forbidden"
 Senator Robinson's address was in analysis and commendation of the bill by Senator Cummins, Repub- lican of Iowa, drafted by the Sen ate interstate Commerce. Subcom- mittee, proposing a permanent railroad policy of private owner ship and operation of railroads, under strict government supervision

 'The provision by law of a fair tribunal to settle disputes between railroads and their employees, is, of course, prerequisite in any plan fairly calculated to relieve the country from the menace of strik- CTS and lockouts that will restrain or prevent interstate commerce. It it indispensable to the comfort and life of our people that commerce be continued and no system which leaves commerce subject to the will of individuals or organizations among them can be justified"

HEARING IS SURE
. IF HOUSE PASSES
SUNDAY MEASURE
Opposition to Social Welfare
Bill Will be Heard, is Promise
From Trenton
By Special Correspondent.

TRENTON, April 2.-Announce-
ment has been made that in the event
of the passage through the house of
the Hyland bill legalizing Sunday mo-
ton picture shows and other forms
Of entertainment on the Sabboth, that
a hearing would positively be asked
for in the senate. One hearing was
conducted in the House before the
Committee on Social Welfare, but y
some unexplained chance the oppo,
nents were not present to voice their
protests against its passage.
The Sunday movie bill was report
ed out of committee in the Assembly
Monday night. When the report was
presented. Assemblyman Warner, OF
Union. accused the committee of be-
ing unfair in its arrangements for the
recent hearing and charged the mem
bers with violating the rules of the
House In not giving notice either from
the clerks desk or posting it conspic-
uously in the lobby of the house.
On Monday night Warner moved
that the bill be recommitted to the
committee, declaring that the previous
hearing had not given everybody an
opportunity to be present. His motion
was carried somewhat to the surprise
of the Democratic members of the
House who are known to be pushing
the bill. Warner then served notice
on Democratic Leader Barrett that
the bill would remain locked up In
the committee until a hearing, with
notice to all interested parties, would
be called either in the house or sem
ate. AS result the measure as
again been reported out of COMMITTEES
without recommendation" and there
will probably be a public hearing on
its merits, II 1t passes the house and
goes over to the Senate.

HOLD HEARING
ON MONDAY FOR
HOSPITAL BILL
Judiciary Committee of Assem-
bly, to Hear Arguments on
County tuberculosis Hospital

Assemblyman Fred w. Devoe has
arranged for a public hearing before
the committee on judiciary of the
House of Assembly on Monday after
noon on Assembly bill No. 49S, intro
duced by him which would author
iZe the county to issue bonds for the
construction of a tuberculosis hos
pital.
This action of Mr.. Devoe's was TAX
en- at the request of the Board of
Freeholders and the Middlesex County
Anti tuberculosis League as well as
the New Jersey Anti tuberculosis
League.
The hearing will take place in tho
Assembly chamber of the state house
afternoon.
The bill was introduced at the be-
hest of the tuberculosis leagues in an
effort to have hospital erected on the
property near Metuchen, purchased
some time ago by the county for a
hospital, which was never built, owing
to the lack of funds.
Opposition has arisen in certain cir
cles over the measure. as 1t will in
crease the. bonded Indebtedness of the
county. The county has already
reached the debt limit and the special
legislation, IL allowed, would permit
Middlesex to far overstep the limit.
opponents OF the measure say setting
a bad precedent thereby.
The Board of Freeholders will prob
ably name committee to attend the
hearing when they meet Thursday at
New Brunswick. 1t Is also likely that
field workers of the two tuberculosis
leagues will be present Monday after
noon to urge the passage of the bill
from committee to the floor of the
assembly.
The bill would permit counties of
the second class. whose bonding ca
pacity is exhausted, to issue bonds not
to exceed over two tenths of one per
cent of the average assessed valuation
OF the county. for the purpose of con-
structing and eQuipping a hospital on
a site heretofore purchased for that
purpose for the care and treatment
Of persons suffering from tuberculosis.
In a statement attached to the bill
It is said:
This bill is introduced to enable
Middlesex county to erect a tuberculo-
sis hospital on q site purchased for
that purpose. 1t will be necessary to
pass this measure to enable Middle
sex county to build q tuberculosis
hospital, because the county has is
sued bonds to the limit allowed by the
present law. This act provides funds
with which to erect tuberculosis
hospital and the equipment of the
same. but will not provide funds for
any other purpose"

Beat Edwards Bill for
Elective Utility Commission

BIZ SpectdI Correspondent.
TRENTON, April 2:-By a vote of
ten to five the senate this afternoon
defeated the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Edwards, of Hudson, which would
have made the members of the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners cleo
tive by the people. Now they are ap-
pointed by the governor. The bill
was a Democratic measure but party
lines were split on its passage. Sena-
tors Hammond, Mercer, and Bright,
Cape May, Republicans, voted for the
measure but two Democrats, Acker-
son of Monmouth and Kays of Sus-
sex. did not vote either way although
present. The ten negative votes were
all from the Republican side, includ-
ing Senate President Runyon. Re-
publican Leader Case, of Somerset,
led the attack on the bill, declaring
that 1t would be an opening wedge
judges since the utility board par
takes of the powers of the judiciary.
Hammond, of Mercer. declared ''It
is quite patent that oLr Public Utility
Commissioners are bsing appointed
because of polithcal services rendered
and because they i4old the votes of
their respective districts in their vest
pockets" He held under these cir
cumstances the appointive system
was bad and the people should have
a direct say in their selection. In op-
position Republican Leader Case de-
clared God save the day when this
state is ready to elect it's judges"
Pilgrim. of Essex. spoke against the
bill as did Mackay. of Bergen, both
Republicans.
Brown, of Middlesex, Democrat,
argued for 1t. declaring that the util-
ity board is now both Judge and
jury of the proceedings before 1t and
should be more responsive to the
people. Edwards hinted the utility
board might be used for the political
advancement of the governor naming
its members.
