HEARING ON TICKET PLAN
OF SEA SHORE RAILROAD

GBy Evening News Correspondent
TRENTON, April 29-Notification
of a hearing has been forwarded
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and the West Jersey and G
shore Railroad Company by the
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers to be held here on Tuesday,
May 10, at IL a m. daylight saw
ing timcJ on the proposed imposi-
ton of an extra five cents to be col
lected from passengers who board
trains without obtaining tickets.
The companies propose to make
this rule effective May 10.
1t is not the intention to apply
the rule in case a passenger boards
a train at a noa-agency station or
at any station when the ticket office
is not open for the sale of tickets,
or when the passenger extends his
journey on the same train to a sta
ton beyond his original destination.
1t is the claim of the companies
that the collection of money on the
train and the constant making of
change has become very burden
some and that conductors should be
relieved of this work to enable them
20 attend more fully to their other
duties. 1t is expected that the
train penalty of five cents to be col
leCted from passengers will aid ma
t~erially in attaining the desired OBJ
ject .

Cop. WOMEN'S CONFERENCE

In opening the conference of Re-
publican women which is being held
at the Hotel Chalfonte, Atlantic City,
today and tomorrow. under the aus
pices of the New Jersey Women's
Republican Club. the president of
the Club. Mrs. Il. +. Feickert, spoke
as follows:
I'm calling to order the first gen
eral conference of New Jersey Re-
publican women, held under the aus
pices of u Women's Republican
Club, l wish to congratulate all my
co-workerS, both in the club and in
the political organization. upon the
splendid record of accomplishment
during the eight months which have
elapsed since the completion of the
ratification of the 10Th amendment to
the United States constitution. We
have the assurance of National
Chairman VIII II. Hays. that our wo-
mems organization is second to none
in the country. 1t is estimated that
something over 100000 ONE vot-
ed in November and that so per cent
of them voted the Republican ticket.
This is proportionately the largest
number of women voting at a first
election in any state. A fine con-
structive legislative program has
been put through, of which Mrs.
Huse will tell you in detail, and our
party has kept every prediction
| pledge which it made to us. The
Women's Republican Club although
less than five months old has a large
n rapidly growing membership
with every county represented.
During the past three weeks 1
have been present at nine large
county meetings, and there is abso-
lutely no indication of a lessening
of interest or enthusiasm among the
county and district chairmen, or the
club members.
"TWenty-one women have been ap-
pointed to the State Committee to
serve until 1922, when the next regu-
lar election for members of that
committee will be held, and our
most immediate responsibility is to
see hat the right women are NOM
mated and elected to membership
in the county and municipal COM
mittees at the primary elections in
September.
The other speakers at today's SEES
sion were: Mrs. +. w. VanNess, as
