However, a minority report. favor
able to the bill was also presented
signed by Assemblywoman Laird

adopted by the House.
Clashes occurred here at the hear

labor and industries respecting the
two Guthrie bills, the object of which
is to create a compulsory employ

resentatives of many insurance COM
panies now issuing policies to New

position to the bills. They were led
by Prosecutor A.. Dayton Oliphant.
of Mercer county. and former Sena-
tor Charles c. Pilgrim, of Essex.
Both men ~contended that the pres
ent system of private insurance is
more satisfactory all around. Other
speakers for the opponents declared
that the state fund is a system of
monopoly which does not work out
economically for the workingman.

dations as to what should be done,
said Senator Jones. II do not know
that the commission has yet reach
ed a conclusion. but from what |
know of the situation / feel that
something should be done whether
Il should be done entirely by the Ma
tional Government oil in co-opera-
ton with the State of New York and
the state of New Jersey. or with the
municipalities there, | am not now
prepared to say, but somthing ought
to be done to furnish better onnec
tons between the railroads which
bring the products from the various
parts OF this country and the ships
that come into the harbor there TO
take those products to the various
ports of the world"
Senator Frelinghuysen then said
he understood that in connection
with the contemplated improvement
of the XIII Won Kull and Staten Is
land Sound. the deepening of hat
channel to 80 feet and widening 1t
to 400 feet, there was some 100000
now In the hands OF the engineers
which had been appropriated. and
asked II it would interfere with pas
sage of the bill should he offer an
amendment permitting the depart
ment to utilize those funds for tina;
project.
Senator Jones stated it would. and
Frelinghuysen did not offer an
amendment and did not vote
to increase the appropriation to
