PANIC ON SUBWAY
AS FUSES BLOW OUT
1000 Transferred on Manhat-
tan Bridge as Flames Shoot
From Cars.

The blowing out Of fuses on two
Manhattan bound Coney Island trains Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Railroad
near the Brooklyn terminal Of the Man
haitian Bridge just after midnight made
necessary the unloading OF more than
| 1000 men. women and children and
caused traffic tie-up Of sixty-five min
utes. The transfer of the passengers,
who were frightened by the sight Of
| flames shooting from under the two dis
abled cars. was effected under difficult
ties but without injury to any one.
A westbound four car steel train Of
the West End line was the first to be
disabled. AS 1t drew out Of the tunnel
| leading to the bridge ana began the as
cent Of the incline leading to the struc-
| ture, fuse on the fourth car blew out
with a loud noise. Immediately smoke
began to roll into the windows of the
cars and the bridge was Illuminated by
burning insulation. Guards tried to calm
| the passengers and above the shrieks OF
the women and children shouted an
order to move into the cars ahead.
Crowding in the first two cars almost
caused a panic and finally the doors
were opened ana RESERVES iroiH the
Poplar street police station helped across
those who could not climb the hree
foot gap between the train and the
guard fence of the promenade.
About that time the second train
one of the Brighton line-came UP from
the tunnel. An attempt was made to
push the disabled train across the
bridge. 1t had been moved only few
feet when the Brighton line train blew
out fuse. More smoke was added to
that coming from beneath the first
train and the passengers began to call
for help.
The attempt to push the West End
line train was abandoned. and while the
police again helped frightened women
across the gap to the promena ie. guards
extinguished the flames with sand.
Wrecking crews were sent to the
bridge to repair the damaged trains and
at / :15 A. NJ traffic was resumed.

Although unable to swim. Mrs

Canal. near Bound Brook, N. j., late
yesterday afternoon IN an effort TO
rescue her twelve-year- -old daughter

the bank Of the canal and watched her.
Beth Garrettson was not quite sure
exactly what happened. but she said
that after Marie highlander had been
swimming and diving for some time she
suddenly threw up both hands and called
for help. Her mother also screamed and
jumped into the water to save the little
girl. Beth sat on the bank and watched
the struggles Of the mother and daughter
in the water without being able to realize
clearly the meaning Of 1t all. but she felt
sure that something was wrong when
neither came to the surface.

minutes later and told her father that

had gone into the canal and had not
come out again. Mr.. Garrettson recov-

NOTE---To Croakers, Pessimists and Grumblers:
We sold more Furniture on the first
Courtesy Day of the August Sale
than in any other year--much more

That news ought to give encouragement to
the entire country-to President Harding,
who is working so hard to get bus ness back
to normal; to business of all kinds; to workers
in all trades; to the people generally whose
prosperity and happiness always depend on
the busy-ness of the country they live in.
Things ARE looking up.
Of course we might say to ourselves that
people are buying furniture SO eagerly be-
cause they have confidence in Wanamaker
sale, in Wanamaker furniture, in Wanamaker
values and prices.
But the neWs has much larger
significance than this
1. That here in New York at least the people
have determined that the time has come to
refurnish and refurbish their homes-to put
them on a pre-war standard.
2. That enough new homes and apartments
have been built recently and are being built
now to create a new demand for furniture.
8. That the buying public is now satisfied
that furniture prices at least in this sale
are down to a stable basis, where furniture
may be bought with confidence.

What Our Strikes Cost Us
CErom tho New York Herald.)

Records OF the United States De-
partment OF Labor disclose that IN
the first half OF 1921 the loss in
wages alone from strikes and lock-
outs was si.17s. 900. 900. with no in
dlcation Of relaxation OF strike and
lockout activity for the remaining
six months It is a fair presumption
that the wage loss from these causes
of the first half OF the year will be
duplicated in the second half. This
would make the total 1921 wage loss
from strikes and lockouts foot up TO
S2.35S. 100000. This is enough to
keep 100000 men constantly at
work for a year at wages close to
800 a month. :
The extent to which lockouts con-
tribute TO this enormous deficit is
negligible. out OF the 1921 labor
disputes in the six months covered
by the Labor Department records
the lockouts numbered thirty-seven.
This leaves 1854 instances Of ces-
sation OF labor due to strikes.
But the Labor Department figures
are under the total OF wage loss from
voluntary idleness. These figures
cover only the controversy that the
Labor Department is authorized TO
intervene. II takes cognizance only
OF disagreements thus brought to its
attention. How many similar con-

troversies involving cessation Of
labor are not referred to the De-
partment is speculative.
But, far within the actually as
these figures are. in all conscience
they are depressing enough. They
reveal that 100000 workers lost
time and wages in the first six
months OF the year. The wide ex-
tension Of unemployment seems to
have had no effect Zeal for the
strike appears to have been little
cooled by hard times. The number
OF those who in 1921 voluntarily quit
work was very slightly under the
number for the corresponding period
last year. All indications are that
for the entire year the records will
show that more than 100000 work.
ers became voluntarily idle under
strike orders.
The $4,000. 900, 900 wage loss from
this cause which the year seems des-
tined to show is OF course only a
part, OF and comparatively a small
part. of the total loss. 1t is estimated
that the loss to employers in strikes
and lockouts is more than three
times the wage loss to employees.
Add to this the loss. direct and in
direct, to the public and the loss
to the country's wealth from nom
production. Strikes cost. They come
high, but II seems that the country
must have them.
