Two Districts Register Gains
The 4th Assembly District, along
with the 1st Assembly District the
home district Of Alfred n. Smith are
the only districts in Tho city which
showed increased registration this year
over last year
The registration books of the 1st
Assembly District, which are said to
be padded by nearly $500 fraudulent
names, have been subrnnaed, MS we'll
as the hooks of the 10Th Assembly, Dis
trict. the home OF Charles r. Murphy,
Tammany leader.
In these lower East Side districts
in 1917 ninety election inspectors,
forty five of them members of Charles
+. Murphy's organization and NJ, equal
number from Samuel s. koenig's or
ganization, were sent to the penitcn-
tiary for from one to six months for
stealing primary election from
William M. Bennett, who was opposed
by Koenig.
In 1912, in AL Smiths home district,
out of total registration of $500,
1,50O foaters registered, but none Of
them voted because the fraudulent reg
istrations we're made public and re-
wards offered for their arrest if they
attempted to vote on Election Day.
Mr. Gilbert had seventy-one men and
women before him who were given cas-
sistance" by the election inspectors in
the 4th Assembly District, who thus
learn how they vote, but stopped short
after examining few. He left off
when Samuel Dickstein, Tammany can
didate for Congress from the district,
said:
"Concede that all the other sixty
one will give similar testimony show
ing that they were not entitled to as
sistance."
Mr.. Gilbert intimated that he was
not considering prosecutions in these
particular cases.
"It was apparent" said he, "no at
tempt had been made to have the vot-
ers in this district who are recorded
as needing assistance take the oath re-
quired under the statute by these IN
spectors. I warned these inspectors
that no assistance is to be given these
voters on Election Day"
Asked if he would prosecute the cleo
tion inspectors involved, he said:
81 have warned them and told them
that my action now depends on how
they act on Election Day. 1t is my
purpose to keep the coming election
clean. II warning will procure that
result, would rather take that course
than Wholesale prosecutions. But
want all the election inspectors Of this
city to understand that l will prose
cute to the limit any violations of the
law that l get evidence Of on Election
Day."

NEW PARTY SENTIMENT
 UNKNOWN IN CAPITAL

Washington, Nov. 24.-There Is no "neW-party" sentiment among pro- gressive lawmakers who have return ed to Washington from their homes to attend the special session of con gress.
 Many of the progressives have a suspicion that reaction would favor a new party, rather than the present non-partisan plan of dealing blows from the inside.
 No progressive has declared for a new party or intirnated, since the election, that such a plan Is feasible. These men are alert to the power they now possess. They declare they will sho wthis power by defeating the ship subsidy bill and dictating the organ izing of the next congress. They are not willing to surrender this power by wandering off into minority par ty The latter policy would be ac- ceptable to reaction, which IS fearful that the progressives will force a spe- cial session of congress and rip the tax question, the railroad question and other nerve centers wide open.
 Senator La Toilette IS quoted that ca new party must be a matter of evolution and can not be established through meeting of any group of men and adopting resolutions"
 This seems to be the opinion of other progressives and Is in line with the nations political history.

RIARDON TELLS OF CONDITIONS
 IN THE MILLS
Discloses How Many Industries Are Working Short Hours Because
 of Delay of Raw Material.

Harold J. Riordan, chairman of the Machinists' Union of Boston, and system federation officer, was in at tendance at the mass meeting held by striking shop craftsmen in Trades Council hall yesterday morning. Ern- est Sch1iefer of Buffalo, Grand Lodge representative, was the prin cipal speaker, telling the men of con- ditions as they exist in Massachu- setts and Vermont, from which places he has but recently come.
 The eyact mission that brought Reardon to this city was not stated ystriIle leaders, but it was intimated that the presence of the Big Four representatives in this city might have been the cause.
 It was understood, however, that Reardon spoke a few words about the condition of the branch roads leading out of Boston.
 Conditions are terrible" stated Mr. Reardon. "It Is almost impossible for textile or leather goods companies to get stock with which to carry on their industries.
 There is an instance of a represen- tative from one of these companies going to freight officials and asking for his shipment of goods. He was told to go to the yards and pick out his car. This he did, but it was two weeks before 1t arrived at his plant, because there were no engines to houl if t"

OPPOSE 1a-HOUR DAY.

New York, Nov 24.-Trade union opposition to the long work day has recently secured many recruits among metallurgical engineers. Dean Marti- mer E. Cooley of the University of Michigan said this opposition repre- sented "a. tendency prevailing throughout the world" and that tfae United States is falling in line with Europe and Asia.
 Several notable engineers have de clared for the eight-hour system. No reputable engineer now stands for the long work day. They say the advan- tages of the eight-hour day compen- sate dor any apparent extra cost.

SHIP OWNERS BEFOG : COST TO FEED CREWS

Washington, Nov. 24.-The Amer ican Steamship Owners Association has contributed to the mass of misin- formation and untruths on the shiI
 subsidy bill by alleging that United States ship crews are paid higher wages than foreign crews and that the cost of subsistence-of feeding crews is higher in vessels owned in
 this country.
 In data furnished members of con gress by the ship owners association it is stated that comparisons with foreign vessels show in every case the full cost of American crews is substantially higher, and that the subsistence of the crews IS also uni formly higher in American vessels"
 Evidence submitted to the joint congressional committee that inves- tigated the ship subsidy bill shows that the aggregate cost of crews on American ships IS less than on foreign ships.
 The strongest contradiction to the ship owners subsistence claim is fur shipping board although that body is supporting the subsidy bill. :. |
 R. T. Merrill, director of the bu- reau of research, United States ship ping board, told the congressional committee the boards London repre- sentatives reported that the average cost of subsistence on European yes se1s was 60 cents per day per man The shipping boards representative in Japan reported that the cost of feed ing Japanese crews was 62A cents (American money) per day per man.
 Acting Vice, President Sheedy of the shipping board justified subsis-i tence reduction on shipping board vessels to 6 cents per day per man on the ground that it was found that private ship owners were feeding their crews at cost that ranged from 48 to 5I cents per day per man..

Charleston, W. Va, Nov. 24.-In resolutions unanimously adopted by the annual convention of the West Virginia State Federation of Labor, adherence to law and opposition to anarchistic coal owners was pro- claimed
 Under the guise of administering the law the coal kings of the country, and particularly of West Virginia, the resolutions said ,are using the courts as instruments of persecution of the workers, and at Charles Town, West Virginia, are providing vast sums of money for the hiring of private at torneys to pay witnesses and jurors, and are also attempting to create widespread prejudice against the members of organized labor by circu- lating manufactured evidence.

CAN'T COLLECT DAMAGES
 FOR EASTLAND CAPSIZING

Chicago, Nov. 24-Damages to re- latives of an Eastland victim have been denied in a court in this city. The case was considered a test suit whether relatives of the other 800 victims could collect damages because of the capsizing of the steamer in 1915.
 Marine workers in this city warned the authorities that the vessel was liable to roll over because she was 'top heavy" but no action was taken. On July 24, 1915, while 2,ooo excur- sionists were crowded on the steamer, she rolled over while tied to the dock More than Boo lives were lost

 Rhode Island Election

Providence, R. l., Nov. 24-Strik- ing textile workers carried their fight onto the political field, and the feud- alism of textile barons was dealt two hard blows by the increased demand for the passage of 48-hour week law and the abolition of the property qualification for voters Tn this state a voter must own property and pay taxes before he can vote for any officer who supervises the expendi
 ture of money. The mill barons have given all power to the senate, which has proven a barrier to progress. Other gains secured at the election include the direct election of judges, increasing the powers of the gover- nor and prohibiting working by wom- en and children at night Women supported the attack on property qualifications.
