FIGHT OYER REPEAL
OF FULL CREW LAW
Companies Charge 1t With Big
Losses; Labor Says 1t Saves
Many Lives.

Special Dispatch TO THE New York HERALD

Albany, March 2.
Railroad employees warned the Legis-
lature to-day that repeal OF the full
crew law would destroy the safeguards
now protecting the public. but officials
OF the railroads appearing at the hear
ing of the Joint Public Service Commit
tees. declared it had resulted in the loss
of millions. and had not prevented acci-
dents. the reduction Of which they
credited to safety devices.
James p. Holland. president of the
State Federation of Labor said that the
law had saved thousands OF lives, and
was the cheapest form of life insurance
to train passengers and employees. Will
lam E. Fitzsimmons. attorney for the
Brotherhood of Firemen and Engineers.
declared that the repeal OF the full crew
law meant gambling in lives, and John
e. F'itzgibbons executive agent of the
railroad brotherhoods. gave figures to
show that fewer lives have been lost in
railroad accidents since the full crew
law went into effect.
Charles C. Policy. vice. president of the
New York Central Railroad. insisted
that because of the installation of
greater safety devices. the full crew law
was not necessary now, even though it
might have been necessary in 1913, when
it was put on the statute books. Others
who spoke in favor Of the repeal were
Marcus Dow, general safety agent of the
New York Central: V. J. Langdon, air
brake superintendent of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western. and ]. p.
Low. inspector of the suburban division
of the Erie Railroad.
The Steinberg bill. transferring to the
Police Department the power Of licensing
taxis and public hacks, Is tied up in the
Assembly Cities Committee. This bill
has been before the Legislature for the
last two years, and has little chance OF
passage.
New York city magistrates are behind
this measure. They say that a stricter
supervision over taxicabs should be en-
forced, because Of the criminal use to
which they are often put, but In spite
of the power of the magistrates some
mysterious influence seems able to
pigeonhole any legislation to bring them
under the power or che police.
Passing bills so rapidly that the
clerks had olnculty keeping count, the
Senate and Assembly shot ahead full
speed to-day determined to finish the
session In two weeks. Leaders notified
all members that tomorrow will be
full legislative day and none would be
excused from attendance. Senators and
Assemblymen protested but were held
to their desks by the majority rule.
In the Senate the knight bill author
izing the New York-New Jersey Tunnel
Commission to acquire properties needed
for terminal purposes held the fore
ground, being passed almost unani-
mously.
In the Assembly an effort by As
semblyman Cuviflier to prohibit service
charges by gas and electric companies
was blocked by Majority Leader Adler.
Then a bill placing a tax OF one cent
gallon on gasoline sold for power pur-
poses was offered.

SHARP COAL PRICE
RISE Is PREDICTED
Coming April 1, State Mer-
chants Are TOld-Dealers'
Stocks Small.

A sharp rise in coal prices Hbout April
l was predicted yesterday A . meeting
of the New York state Coal Merchants
Association in the Hotel Pennsylvania.
Arthur Patterson of the United States
Distributing Corporation said he thought
a buyers panic would set in as the time
for the nationwide strike approached.
In face of the crisis he said that stocks
were abnormally small both among con-
sumers and dealers. while the stocks In
the possession of operators were we'll
above normal.
Responsibility for throwing the entire
industry Into dscredit and disrepute"
was placed upon the independent op-
orators by John B. Reimer. head OF the
Queens County Dealers Association
1.-The public" he said. has objected to
an alleged monopoly. but they have not
yet learned that seven big hogs can be
controlled better and have more sense
than fifty-seven little ones.
Retailers are not to blame for the
coal scarcity or for the blocking of the
jiggers and chutes at the breakers SO
that rock, slate and bone could not get
away from the rest of the coal If it
tried"
He proposed the establishment by the
Federal Commission of bureau for
collection of statistics of all elements
which enter into mining, transportation
and marketing of anthracite coal.
The association placed itself on record
as being opposed to legislation at AL
bany that would double the tax on auto
mobile trucks, and instructed it's attor-
ney to be present at the hearings. Sug-
gestions were made to improve deliveries
and to make possible the sale of coal to
the consumer at lower prices.
