Board to Tell
Ballot Number
Eleventh District Tammany
Leader Wins Courts Aid
in Hating Alleged In
reference by Murphy
Delay Held Up Campaign
Finds He Is Fifteenth on
the ID G mo cratic Slip
and just Below Miller

After an effort Of more than a week,
in the course of which he resorted to
court proceedings to overcome obsta-
cles which he alleged men friendly to
Charles +. Murphy. Tammany leader,
were placing in his way, James j. Hines,
Che fighting Tammany leader of the
1lth Assembly District, yesterday sue
ceeded in obtaining from the Board of
Elections his number on the primary
ballot, as candidate for the nomination
Of Borough President of Manhattan.
Hines will be No. Is on the official
Democratic primary ballot.
Julius Miller, the Murphy candidate
for the nomination, will be No. IA.
Hines made his demand on the
Board of Elections yesterday after
noon after hearing earlier in the day
before Justice Lydon, of the Supreme
Court, on an application by Hines for
writ of mandamus directing the board
to inform him what number he was to
have on the ballot.
Vincent S. Lippe, counsel for Hines.
told Justice L7don that the candidate
was being greatly handicapped by the
action of the board in refusing to make
public the numbers on the ballots. Mr..
Llppe declared that Illness advertising
was being held up and Primary Day
only week away, and that in his head
quarters at the Hotel Marlborough
were $4,000. pieces of mail containing
sample primary election ballots, in
which it was necessary to insert
Illness ballot number.
Russell A. Tarbox, Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel, appearing for the Board
of Elections, insisted that no informa
ton had been withheld from Hines that
had been given to other candidates.
Mr.. Tarbox said that the ballot num-
bers We're not yet matter of public
record and therefore could not be given
out. He promised that they would be
ready Tor the public in the afternoon.
Mr.. Tarbox told of a case last wear
where Brooklyn candidate brought a
proceeding because .his number had
been changed after it was made public,
and the Board Of Elections wished to
avoid repetition on this mix-up.
A week ago, it was said at the
Board of Elections, that numbers were
not given out because of the uncer-
tainty about the name of Morris
Schechter going on the Haskell ticket
as candidate for Comptroller.
MEMBERS declared Schechter's rcfus-
al to run would make a general rear
rangement of numbers necessary, if
they were given out eat the time On
the same day that this explanation was
made by the Board of Elections Mr..
Schechter signified his intention to
allow his name to go on the Haskell
ticket. Notwith the numbers
we're not made public until yesterday.
Justice Lydon's decision yesterday on
the Hines application was:
with the understanding that Mr.
Hines may see his number late this
afternoon, I shall deny this present
application for a writ of mandamus

THE CONGRESSIONAL PROGRAM

An outline of what is expected to be
the program when the new congress con-
venes on April II is given as follows by
persons in touch with Washington af-
fairs
!. Enactment of a farmers emergency
tariff bill, Endorsed by the President.
,. Anti-dumping legislation with pro-
vision for an American valuation on i'm
ports to the United States.
>. Passage of a budget system for the
federal government to balance expendi-
lures with income.
4. Revision of the taxation program of
the government so that enterprise may
not be discouraged and taxpayers may
know as nearly as possible what taxes
they will have to pay.
). Reorganization of government de-
partments to eliminate duplication of
work and of expense.
6. Enactment of a permanent Republi-
can protective tariff law.
A good many persons viii regret that
there is no mention of legislation to in
sure relief for disabled men in this pro-
gram, and that immigration receives no
mention. AS the outline is only tenta-
tive, however, it may be that both these
vital subjects viii receive timely atten-
ton. For the rest of the program, while
there will be the inevitable difference of
opinion on the tariff question, there can
be little on the ACCESSIBILITY of a budget
system, improvement of tax systems and
reorganization of governmental depart
ments.
If congress succeeds in completing the
program with a decent degree of saneness
and promptitude, things will look more
hopeful than they have for a long time.

COMPETING FOR SAFETY.

One of the big steel companies is MAX
ing a special effort to eliminate acct
dents in all it's plants. To do this it has
fers the award of a trophy to the plant
which has the lowest number of accidents
causing loss of workers time in the
course of a month. The plant which
made the best record in January was one
employing about 5000 men. 1t did not
have a single accident in that time SER
ious enough to cause an interruption of
work.
Another steel concern is encouraging
safety efforts by a similar scheme 1t
has bronze trophy on the base of which
is inscribed each month the name of the
plant which had fewest accidents that
month. At the end of the year the tro-
ply will go as a permanent award to the
plant which got its name on the base the
most times during the II months.
Safety is an important item in indus
try nowadays. 1t is the employers task
in the first place to see to it that workers
are protected from dangerous machinery
and from accidents which might occur
through no faust of their own. 1t is i'm
portant also to teach workers themselves
to avoid carelessness in their handling
of the machinery. The artist who de-
signed the bronze trophy just mentioned
explains this thought thus:
Machinery uncontrolled is destructive
both of human life and production
1t is through well balanced self-control.
both mental and physical, that the
worker rises above the machine and
makes it his tool. 1t is true that one
motive for increasing human safety in
industry is to maintain efficient produc-
ton. At the same time, greater rever-
ence for human life and safety has de-
veloped, very much to the benefit of the
homes and the community from which
the workers come.

citation of New York, criticising purely
masculine courts" as follows:
There is Over-sentimentality in such
courts regarding women defendants. A
pretty woman can always look for n GER
tain amount of leniency on the part of
jurors unless some officer of the court
judge or prosecuting attorneys a wo-
man. In sdch a case the feminine influ-
ence is divided There is as good a
chance of the male jurors needing the
plea of a woman who represents the
people as there is of their inclining to-
ward sympathy for the defendant"
This is too much! Women must be
admitted to a share in the work of the
courts in order TO save men from the eff
fects of masculine ver-sentimentality
where women are concerned, if women
defendants or women plaintiffs are ever
to be treated as dispassionately as men
| in the administration of justice. And
every honest observer of American courts
must admit that that is the plain truth.
What a purely feminine" court would
do about men in another problem, which
we may have to grapple with eventually.
In the meantime the argument for mixed
courts is irresistible.
