ALBANY, Jan. 30.--Plans for the Amer

ates in New York State-said to number
more than 600. 000-are being prepared
by the State Board OF. Regents. Gov.
Smith assured the Regents to-day on the
occasion OF their first annual visit to
him that he was with them In anything
that would better the States school sys-

Chester s. Lord out'inrl the plans of
the regents. He told the Governor they
are soon to have a conference of Ameri-

the council table will have a most prac-

how best TO meet our educational IA

State in this Americanization."
Coy. Smith said In reply
There are two vital points OF i'm
mediately pressing importance in the
great question known as Americaniza

every illiterate in the State to read and
write. The second relates to the Twins
conditions and necessities of the great
mass Of the people Il the State.
Il shall be willing to Join with the
Board OF Regents In any reasonable
movement which may operate to oblit.

SERVICE BOARD ACTS
AGAINST BURLESON
Ruling Will Bring Question Of
State Jurisdiction Into
Court.

ALBANY. Jan. 3o-The Public Service
Commission, Second district. to-day sus-
tained complaints against the New York
Telephone Company and the Postmaster
General over installation and restora-
ton charges against patrons in New
York. Buffalo and other places.
The complaints grew out OF the So
by the Postmaster General and put into
effect by the telephone company Sep
tember /. 1918
Under the provisions of the Public
Service Commission law the respondent
could not lawfully initiate the charges
except by fling with the commission
ta~iT setting them forth with par
ticulaTfty and stating an effective date,
not earlier than thirty days from filing.
The tariff charges would thereupon be
subject 10 complaint and investigation
and determination by the commission.
The telephone company did not file a
tarifr.
Chairman Hill filed a memorandum
with the orders directed to-day In which
he said
1T will be noted that the nature OF
the services affected by this order is
purely local and can have no inter-
state character whatever. The Post
ma ster-General was made party to
the complaints but did not appear That
official has ignored the Jurisdiction OF
the commission and is proceeding on
the assumption that his possession and
control under the Presidents proclama-
ton have the legal effect of abolishing
and excluding the jurisdiction of the
commission. which was conferred by
State laws.
The war Is now over and It is APP
parent that this purely legal question
must be met and settled by the courts
This same question has been presented
through the action OF the Postmaster
General in assuming TO put into effect

ALBANY, Jan. 3o.--Representatives Of
employers and employees in the textile
industry in session all to-day with the
labor committee OF the Reconstruction
Commission, attempted settlement OF
the dispute which threatens a general
strike of $4,000 textile workers Feb-
ruary 5. Gov. Smith had the dlsputantc
before him this afternoon and told them
plainly he did not want strike.
Apparently there were hopes tonight
OF settlement. John Golden, interna-
tional president of the United Textile
Workers left tonight for New York,
where tomorrow he is expected to meet
organization leaders. 1t is rumored that
much the same offer has been made to
the workers by the manufacturers rs
the American Wooden Company made to
its employees IN Boston. that ia, TO put
into effect a torty-eight hour week, with
time and one-half for overtime, but re-
fusinS to pay the workers ffty-four
hours paw for forty-eight hour week.
II Is likely there will be another session
tomorrow with the Reconstruction Com
mission.
The situat ion may be aggravated by
the announcement to-day that the Fluid
and Hatch mills in Albany and Cohoes
employing about 1900 hands. will be
closed Saturday because of lack OF bust
ness.
"There never was quarrel in this
world that could not he settled before II

told the delegates.
1.-THE success Of industry and business
in this State is dependent upon how
business men and their employees get

everybody"
Gov Smith received a promise from

that the EMPLOYEES would not strike II II

U. 8. Tonnage Record.

At that time American eeagoing ton
mage represented only about 2 per cent
Of the worlds total tonnage and only
10 per cent. OF the exports and imports
OF the United States was carried in
American vessels.
Recently the shipyards OF the United
States have been turning out about two
ships to England's one. Almost half the
worlds entire tonnage output Is being
produced in this country. More than 20
per cent. OF the world shipping now Is
American. and that proportion may be
more than doubled under a continuance
o. the Government programme to the
point where american chipping will be
second to mono In the world
For the ten years prior to 1918 Brit
sh tonnage production was about four
times that OF the american shipyards.
That ratio was maintained in 1914. but
the following year marked the turning OF
the scale. In 1918 the English output
was three times as great a. that Of the
United States. in 1915 only twice as
much, and in January. 1918. for the first
time. the production Of the American
yards exceeded that of the British. But
the excess WAS only few hundred gross
tons, and In the following month Eng
land rcgained the lead and held It until
last June, since which time the United
States has continued to forge steadily
ahead. until now we are almost doubling
Englands production.
At the outbreak OF war. agalns,
England's total OF moro than 49,
| 100000 tons we had short OF 5000
900. and hardly more than 1000. 900 Of
this was registered as ocean carrying
American shipyards were building only
about 100000 tons year. British mors

But In the very rapidly OF Americas
progress lies peril. From 1910 to 1918,
inclusive. our imports and exports In
creased less than billion dollars from
1914 to 1918 the growth was almost
five billions. In 1918 we built about
400 900 tons of shipping in 1919 the out
put may run to 100000 II the Shipping
Boards constantly changing estimates
finally work out on the basis announced
toward the close Of las year. In 1918
the total Of shipping under The American
flag was below 8, 600, 900 tons. by the end
OF 1919 It may be more than double
that figure. II to overexpansion IL
coupled the twin menace OF overproduc-
ton the result will be n costly readjust-
ment OF the entire structure OF economic
values.
II Is sought 10 wrest from Great Brit
ain in few years the lead what II took
her almost three score years of continu-
Gus and unrelaxing effort TO establish.
At once the question arises: Are firm
foundations being established for the
new supremacy our Government Is seek
ing? Can this country turn. almost
overnight, from a nation of producers to
n race of sea traders as we'll?
The conditions OF sixty years ago
when the American merchant marine
was supreme no longer prevail Having
the ships as well as the goods and the
markets Is not enough There must ais
be within grasp the means OF operating
ut a profit in competition with other ma
| lions. Otherwise mere numerical SUI
premacy in shipping will be possession
so costly that its abandonment will be

above normal and to a greater degree
than demand for cargo space. What
happens when tonnage supply exceeds
tonnage requirements has already been
seen in the launching of a rate war In
ocean freights.
Had not war interviewed the worlds
shipping at the normal rate of in
crease might have aggregated about
5s,000,000 tons at the end Of 1919. II
the Shipping Board again changes Its
plans and reverts to its previous schemes
OF production the world total at the be-
ginning of next year may be $4,000, 900
tons. And by the end OF 1920, II the
pace Is kept UP not only will the indi-
Gated deficiency of 100000 tons at the
end OF 1919 be made up, but the normal
gain for the year as well and n surplus
Of more than four million tons created.
Within two years then there may be an
excess OF about per cent above the
normal aggregate.
Big slump IL Feared.
In no industry Is the balance between
demand and supply more delicately ad-
justed than in shipping. Experts claim
that so small a variation as ga per
cent. from the normal amount OF ton
mage required for the worlds trade at
any time will inevitably produce a slump
or boom In freight rates, accordingly
as the scale Tits upward or downward.
Opinions as to the nearness OF the
menace OF oversupply differ Lord Pirrie
says II Is impossible to construct too
many ships for ten years TO come. even
with the whole world building at top
speed. Lord Pirre liz Comptroller-Gen =
eral OF Merchant Shipbuildng for Great
Britain and he Is also a member of the
firm OF Harland a Wolf OF Belfast, one
OF the largest producers OF ships in the
world. Lord Plrrie has further declared
all vessels constructed in the next five
years will be fully occupied without CON.

rlvalries
Already, however. British and Amer.

A double by Hemingway in the

Coffey. Jap Barbcau, who had
walked, died on second In the
fourth inning, the Booster boys
stepped on Townsend for three hits,
two singles and Breen's double,

a double play.
In the sixth inning, Omaha made

health for more than eight years"
he continued, "and finally got to
the place where l couldn't 60 out
on my runs at all. At times was
almost desperate with pain through
my stomach, right side and back.
Many time sat in the cab Of my
engine all doubled over with misery,
thinking the next station / pulled
into I would be compelled to give
up. They said this pain was caused
by gallstones and that an operation
was the only thing that would save
me. l don't know what the trouble
was, but I was in 50 much pain that
I couldn't sleep much, and even in
my doing at night I could see the
operating table staring me in the
face. l became very nervous, got
to suffering from Indigestion and
all these things together simply
made a physical wreck of me. I
stuck to the old engine just as long
as possible, but at last I had to
give her up. h
81 had about decided to have the
operation when a good friend ad-
vised me to try Tanlac, saying it
was the best railroad mans medi-
cine in the world. Well, when he
left me l had made up my mind to
try Tanlac as a last resort before
going to hospital. So I had them
get me bottle and before had
finished taking it l told my wife il
it kept on helping me like it had
started l would never see the inside
of hospital for an operation. And
sure enough, it kept helping me
more and more each day. My pain
began to ease up so that / was
amazed. began to want to eat and
soon found l could eat plenty of
good wholesome food and that it
agreed with me perfectly, and be-
gan to sleep soundly every night

and energy pouring into me.

words as possible, l have taken
eleven bottles of Tanlac, and l just
want to say if l ever had gallstones

My pain is not only gone, but
have actually gained so pounds in
weight, and as I said have under
gone such a wonderful change that
my friends hardly know me on first

back on my old engine when had
