ALL TRAFFIC IN NEW YORK HARBOR
BLOCKED AS $4,000 WORKERS STRIKE

Staten Island was isolated by the
strike. Most of the ferries between
New York and the New Jersey
points also were suspended.
Police reserves were hurried from
two stations to the ferry house OF
the Central railroad of New Jer-
'ey when laborers employed at Port
Newark, n. j., became unruly upon
being informed that the service had
l cen discontinued. Though the
men were advised to take tube
trains to their work, some refused,
declaring that to do so meant an
additional % cents.

Of the service said tnat with ferries

Union officials announced that all
the city's fire and police boats
would be tied up by the calling out
of their crews. If it was necessary
to win the strike, they threatened
to call out the longshoremen, num-
bering 10000 men.

New York, Jan. with approx

ca, the strike of the marine work
nrs' affiliation went into effect here
at 6 o'clock this morning. At that
hour steamboats,. ferry boats, tow
boats, coal barges, grain boats and
.Iarbor craft were at standstill,
according to the strike leaders.
The strike, called notwithstand-
ing a threat by the government to
operate the harbor with soldiers
and sailors, was ordered yesterday
when a conference of the union men
and the Boat-owners- association
broke up, following the refusal OF
the latter to arbitrate the question
CT an eight hour day. The war Ia
Tor board was unable to affect a
settlement of the differences.
While the strike at present has
not been extended to coast-wise
steamers, coast-wise tugs. trans-At-

STATE OFFICER
BREAKS RECORD
Secretary of State Exceeds All Pre-
Vious Marks in Collecting
Fees from Corporations.

Springfield, Jan. 9.-Secretary OF
State Louis l.. Emmerson succeeded
in 1918 in breaking all records in
the collection of fees from corpor-
ations in this state, as is evidenced
by the records of his office
During the year 1918 he collected
S493,730.70 from domestic corpora
tions. From the same source in
1917 he collected S422,969.65.
For the year ending Dec. 81, 1918,
he collected from foreign corpora
tions $675, ,9S9.S3, as against S153,-
sos from the same source in 1917.
The significance of these figures
is made evident when they are COM
pared with the amount of fees col
lected from foreign corporations in
the past. The foreign corporation
act Of this state was passed m 1897.
From that date until 1917 the pred
ecessors to Secretary of State En-
merson collected from foreign cor
porations, from all sources, the
sum of sS16,7732
From these figures it would ap-
pear that the secretary of state col
lected nearly as large an amount of
ices from foreign corporations Dur
ing 1918 as was collected by his
predecessors in the last 20 years.
This large increase is due to the
fact that the Ffftieth general as
sembly passed an amendment to
the foreign corporation act requir-
ing the secretary of state to pro-
pound interrogatories to all foreign
licensed to do bust
ness in this state.
In the event that it appears, from
the answers to interrogatories, that
any fees are due the state, he is re-
luired under the statute to collect
the same or revoke the authority OF
the corporation to transact bust
ness in Illinois
From this source alone the secre
tary of state has collected S54l
296.01 in fees from foreign corpOr-
atoms
He states that since the extra eX-
pense to the state in collecting these
fees amounted to less than $500,
which was paid for postage, print
ng and extra stenographic hire,
his is practically all clear profit to
The taxpayers of the state.

Washington. Jan. 9.-Secretaries

1t was intmated that some def

said Mr.. Cuyler, might he created
in this manner:
The interstate commerce COM
mission should divide the United
States into a number of regions
for each of which the president
should appoint regional director,
which should be a board of pri-
mary jurisdiction consisting of one
member from each state in the re-
gion. The regional commissions
should have the authority to de-
termine all complaints and to re-
port to the interstate commerce
commission. If no objection is
made to the interstate commerce
commission within a limited time.
and the commission does not over
rule the lower tribunal, the orders
and findings of the regional COM
missions should automatically go
into effect.

Broad Powers to Secretary.
Broad supervision powers should
be granted the secretary of trans

would include authority to require
rerouting of traffic to prevent or
eliminate congestion, to require
common use of terminals, to COM
pei complete unification in war
times or in other periods of ma
tional emergency, to require roads
to distribute cars among patrons
fairly and to other roads to pro-
vide for proper movement of trac-
fic. Mergers or consultations, il

and pooling of earnings in connec-

sary train service. should be sub

the railroad plan. The interstate
commerce commission would re-
ceive appeals in cases of disagree
ment between a road and the sec
retary of transportation.

CALLS ON
PHILADELPHIA TO
WIPE OUT IT'S VICE

Washington, Jan. 9.-Secretary
Daniels has warned the mayor of
Philadelphia, that unless vice con-
ditions improve in that city. steps
will be taken by the government
Ito give the needed protection to
the thousands of young men in uni
form who must either visit Phila-
delphia or be denied the liberty
which ought to be given them"
After referring TO the previous
correspondence and the improve
ment effected by the Philadelphia
authorities, Secretary Daniels let
ter said:
81 am now informed that condi-
tions have reverted, so far as the
protection as to sailors and SOL
diers is concerned, to the old con-
ditions which prevailed prior to
my communications to you last
spring and that the change of your
policy was made in violation of the
promise which you made to Col
Hatch. the representative of the
navy department.
In view of the seriousness of the
situation, fraught as it is with grave
consequences, we must insist that
during the period of demobiliza-
tion the authorities at Philadelphia
will suppress prostitution and 9TH
er vicious conditions and intrust
this duty to those who are able to
cope with the situation
Unless necessary action is ta-
ken to give adequate and full pro-
lection to the soldiers and sailors
in Philadelphia such steps will be
taken as will give the needed pro-
lection to the thousands of young
men in uniform who must either
visit Philadelphia or be denied by
the war and naval authorities the
liberty which ought to be given
them"

FOOD RELIEF PLAN
BEING HELD UP BY
DELAY OF ALLIES

Paris, Jan. 9.-Failure of Eng
land and Italy to appoint their
members of the international food
commission is delaying revictuaI-
ing plans under the direction of
Herbert c. Hoover. This delay has
rendered it impossible for him to
grange for the purchase of fats
aud other foodstuffs urgently need
cd by the populations of regions
evacuated by the German armies.
One of the greatest immediate
reeds is for fats, virtually all OF
which must come from America.
The delay in formulating prelim-
inary food plans is causing uneast-
ness among Representatives of the
people. who are now seeking relief
as a means of checking Bolshe
