EDWARDS PROTESTS
NEWARK BAY BRIDGE
CoUernor Tells Weeks De.
DeIopmenf Would Suffer.

Gov. Edwards of New Jersey has pro-
tested to John W. Weeks. Secretary of
War. against the project of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey to build new
bridge over Newark Bay at Newark.
The Governor holds. as do many of the
municipalities of the State. that the
bridge would interfere with the develop
ment of the bay. The Port OF New
York Authority recently went on record
as opposed TO the bridge on the ground
that 1t would interfere with the de-
velopment OF the port of New York.
1t Is suggested by Gov. Edwards that
II construction OF the bridge Is deferred
for two or three years the authorities
would be able 10 determine whether
such q structure would Interfere with
the operation of big steamships through
the bay.

Result of swamping Roads.

This condition 10 partly an echo OF
the railway shipments strike during the
summer. but is more definitely a result
of the tremendous volume of industrial
and agricultural pyoducts that the rail-
roads have beer called upon to trans
port.
Labor shortage, particularly of un-
skilled. has also handicapped some In
dustries and is considered an obstacle
to any R,eat increase in activity in the
basic Industries. The restrictions placed
on Immigration. together with the re-
turn home of many aliens. are thought
to have seriously affected the supply OF
labor and TO have led to the prevailing
uy.Sard movement of wages.
During October and November the
coal industry again developed produce
tion to the normal amount. The danger
of a serious coal famine seems past
though there may be some difficulty in
distributing adequate supplies for do
nestle use. particularly of anthracite.
Prices. however are high and business
is paying heavy toll for the recent dis
cord In coal mining"
