OFFICIALS INSPECT
NEW TUNNEL SITES
Mayor and Railroad Men Visit
Staten Island Water Front
Territory.

Mayor Hylan and other city officials
and representatives of the Pennsylvania.
Long Island and Baltimore and Ohio
railroads made an inspection yesterday
of the waterfront OF Staten Island in
connection with plans for freight and
passenger tunnels from Brooklyn to
Staten Island and Improvement OF rail
facilities to serve the new city piers
Comment during tho inspection indicated
the probability that one tunnel from
Brooklyn under the Narrows will have
Its terminal at the northern end or the
city piers and the other will terminate
at the southern end, and that the land
lying back of the piers 10 Bay street
may be acquired TO make room for more
freight tracks and warehouses.
Mayor Hylan said he believed the
completion of the tentative plans for the
Increase OF transportation facilities
would solve the problem OF the tracks
along tho west side of Manhattan. His
idea is that additional tracks would be
built from the New Jersey shore into
Staten Island to handle freight coming
from the West for export and would be
transferred from Staten Island to Ja-
msica Bay by way Of the tunnels and
Erooklyn. The New York Centrals
Manhattan tracks would then be changed
10 the east side OF the island and thence
TO Brooklyn and Jamaica Bay.
It IA expected that tho proposed tun-
nsls will coet approximately $50. .000. 900.
IL is probab BILE that one OF the first steps
the city will take will be to confer with
the railroads regarding the possibility Of

LABOR COST LEAPED
UNDER U. S. CONTROL
4. H. Smith Of n. Y. Central
Explains Effect of National
Agreements.

WAsHINGToS. May f9.-Under fed9ral
control Of railroads wages OF specified
classes Of employees not only were raised
but many employees we're placed on
higher grades than those in which shey
we're prior to the orders and national
agreements. A. II Smith. president o.
the New York Central, testified to-day
before the Senate investigating commit
tee.
The recIassiacation not only had tho
effect of Increasing wages. but very
largely increased the number Of men," he
added.
In going into this question upon the
resumption OF his statement, begun yes
rerday, Mr. smith said that in the loco
motive department alone of the New
York Central lines the number or on-
ployees on the monthly payrolls was IN
creased from 11.545 before the agree
monts reached under Federal control
took effect to 1892 Immediately follow
ing the agreements. and TO 1860 IN lsSo-
An additional cause OF increased labor
costs due 10 orders and agreements, ne
continued. was the application OF pun
tive overtime 20 all classes of employees.
Overtime which had previously peeH p-'~
at pro rata hourly rates. he explainen'
was placed on O time and a half bass
increasing by 80 per cent. the rate an
hour for overtime pay.
Mr. Smith pointed out that these rates
were those prevailing before the ~
creased wage award made by the railroaa
labor board in July and made retroac-
tive 10 May /. 1920. This involved Tor
the New York Central lines alone, ne
said, an increase in wages of approx
imately s21.gi0,00o, including back pay
of sS,100.0 900.
"The effect of the Adamson law. which
became operative as of January !, 1917,
Mr.. Smith said, was to establish IN
contracts for labor and service eight
hours as the measure OF days work
for - purpose of reckoning the COM
pensa:icn for services, in place OF ter
hours which had previously obtained
While this did not increase the basic
daily or mileage rates of engine ana
train crews, the overtime rates were IN
creased as well as the number of hours
OF overtime. since this extra compensa-
tion became payable in four-fifths OF the
time The result in money to the New
York Central in 1917 was an increase o.
s4,045. 900, or 1875 per cent In the pay
Of men concerned under the Adamson
law---engnemen, firemen, conductors
and trainmen."

COTTON FUTURES
PRICES LOWERED
Selling Follows Steadiness and
Market Develops Undertone
of Heaviness.

The cotton market met increased local
selling yesterday, following early steadi-
ness. and developed heavy undertone
in the afternoon. The list dropped about
10 to 20 points, the principal bear factor
being the excellent weather conditions
over the cotton belt. The official weather
map Yves distinctly bearish. Weather
all over the South was clear and warm.
no rain worth mentioning being indi-
Gated. The minimum temperature was
so degrees at Boswell and Memphis and
the maximum "a at Corpus Christi and
Galveston. Detailed reports were even
moro favorable. The Savannah district
was the only one in which there was
any precipitation. Official forecasts for
to-day promised favorable weather.
Sellers included Wall Street and
brokers with Liverpool connections.
Liverpool was dull. cables from the Eng
lish centre rejecting steadlness abroad.
Liverpool opened to 13 points lower.
and at the time of our opening was off
4 to 8 points, closing to Is lower. At
the local opening the market was gen.
orally unchanged to 8 points net lower.
except July, which opened / higher.
The immediate trend after the call was
upward, but after the list had risen TO
a level of few points net gain on most
deliveries pressure increased and the
market receded slowly The South was
a seller and local longs also pressed the
market at times. Buying was partly
short covering by those who wished to
even up before the end of the week.
Bulls called attention to the more ac-
tive business in Fall River Sales for
the week, 1t Is said, will probably be the
heaviest for some time, Wednesdays
total alone being $4,000 pieces May
notices were estimated at to 8, but
had no effect on values. Nears were at
times under somewhat heavier pressure
than were other months. Sentiment on
the floor was inclined to be mixed. Many
traders are limiting the size OF their
commitments pending the first Govern
lnent condition report on June ?. For
tho moment political developments In
Europe have lost first place as the all
important market factor to Southern
weather. The sessions heaviest pres
sure was not encountered until the last
half hour when the list fell to new low
ground for the day Prices moved ap-
proximately 10 to 20 points under
Wednesdays final bids, closing at the
bottom, Off to 10 points The local
spot market was 90 points lower to 12.45
