stock. There was also a communica-
tion to Chairman Nixon OF the Public
Service Commission, urging him, in
behalf of stockholders in the transit
company to investigte it's affairs, the
petitioners pointing out that they be-
lieved themselves unlawfully denied
their rights.
After the Mayors letter, with it's
accompanying correspondence had
been read, Corporation Counsel
O'Brien told the Board that, in his
opinion, the Manhattan Transit Com
panys franchise hnd lapsed because
of non-use. He said that a former
Corporation Counsel had held sim
ilarly. The company could never
operate until the Board of Estimate
granted to 1t the necessary routes, he
added, and also declared that he had
been unable to find any record show
ing tht the General Carriage Com
pany had actually transferred dts
frnchise to the Manhattan Transit
Company.
Grover A. Whlen, Plant and Struc-
lures Commissioner said that pri-
vately owned emergency bus lines
being operated under municipal SUI
pervision had proved 30 successful as
to throw a scare into any traction
line" Since the inauguration of this
emergency bus system, WhHlen said
that 6s,OOO,OOO passengers had been
carried.
F. II. Ecker. representing the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance. Company
and other companies in opposing
buses. stated that four insurance
companies are now holding $4,000
600 in par value OF securities of trac-
tion companies operating here. BY
reason of their membership in mu-
tual life insurance companies, Mr..
Ecker said, a large percentage Of
New York's population was vitality
interested in the fate OF the bus
plan. The insurance companies, he
explained. acted in good faith when
investing in public utility enterprises
and the present situation was caus-
ing grave concern to the trustees
who are responsible for the invest
ment OF the life insurance funds
Any losses resulting from the de-
cline of the traction lines would not
lmperil the solvency OF the insurance
companies, according to Mr.. Ecker,
but would be reflected by increased
premiums or a reduction in dividends
The Merchants Association OF
New York sent f. b. de Berard, man
oyer OF their Research Bureau, to the
hearing to protest against the con-
sideration Of a city-wtde motor bus
system, owned either publicly or pri-
vately The association protested
that the granting OF such franchise
would force out the existing surface
car systems, and that It would re-
ouire 10000 motor buses to replace
the $500 street care. Conceding that
motor buses might be useful as Id-
juncts 20 existing modes OF trRnspor-
tat!on, the associations report op-
posed them as a substitute. The ad-
dress concluded by suggesting that

COMP NSATI0N LAW IS
GOOD FOR STORE CLERKS

Hal Fl. Smith, of Detroit, chairman
Of the commission that framed the
Workmen's Compensation Law, speak
ing recently before the Retail Dry
Goods Dealers at their Grand Rapids
convention, emphasized the propriety
OF every retail merchant carrying
compensation on his employees. He
said:
why should not the clerk in the
store be paid for his injury IL he re-
ceives it as a part of his employment?
Has he any lesser right to protection
than the workman in the factory?
"Workmen's compensation was de-
signed particularly to reach the store
and factory worker. This law, which
was first opposed by many employers,
is now accepted as a proper solution
Ct the old difficulty which grew out
0f industrial accidents. Tedious and
expensive law suits, long delays, suf-
fering, improper medical attendance
which left the injured manned for life,
all this has been cured to a degree
by workmen's compensation"
Mr.. Smith was, in 1919, chairman
of the commission that prepared this
law and has been an enthusiastic stu.
dent of the law ever since. In his
candidacy for national committeeman
OF the Republican party, to be voted
on at the April primaries, he be-
lieves that there is an opportunity to
develop legislation of this kind
