ing the bills.
The full crew law provides that an
extra brakeman must be placed on all
freight trains OF more than twenty-five
cars operating outside of New York city
on railroads of more than fifty miles In
length. According to law such trains
must be manned by q crew consisting OF
an engine driver. fireman. conductor and
three brakemen.
Any train of five cars or more, other
than a freight train, must have crew
of not less than one engine driver, one
fireman, one conductor and two brake
men. with a baggageman If the train
actually carries baggage A freight
train of twenty-five cars or less must
have one engine driver. one fireman, one
conductor and two brakemen.

CITY WINS APPEAL
IN TUBE DOOR SUIT
81 10000 Transit Co. Claim,
for DeUice Is Set Aside.

Corporation Counsel John p. O'Brien
received word from Albany yesterday
that the Court of Appeals had handed
down decision permitting the city to
take an appeal from decision by the
Appellate Division which upheld a claim
of the Rapid Transit Construction Com
pany to an award of s1,750,000 made
by the old Construction Commission to
pay the costs Of installation by the In
terboroueh of the multiple car door con-
troll device on its express service
The amount claimed by the INTERIOR
ough was an installment on account of
the award of s2,26o,000 made to its
subsidiary company in the so-called
Saratoga award agreement Of Decem-
ber 80, 1911. Mr.. O'Brien argued that
the claim made was not a proper charge
upon the city and that the order issued
by the Transit Construction Commis-
sioner and the resultant voucher for
s1.175,000 were null and void. The de-
cision was a victory for the Corpora

STATE PAYROLL CUT
900, SAYS MILLER
Governor Angry Over Associa.
ton Charge Of 1000
Increase.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoaK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
I'm oh {

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YoaK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, Feb. 3.
Gov. Miller was angry to-day when
his attention was called to the state
tina. there are now I'm the State service
1000 more employees than a year ago.
Like most all of the statements made
by the association" he said, ut Is un-
true, and is part of the propaganda
which it is scattering over the State"
The Governor declared there had been
an actual reduction of 900 In the num-
ber of employees in State departments.
and that the records Of the State Civil
Service Commission, which the associa-
ton gave as it's authority. merely
showed positions and not actual en-
ployees.
"The figures the association gives"
he said. Include positions in the State,
county and village service. There has
been an increase Of employees in the
hospital service. about which there was
so much talk last year that we were
impairing, and I think this association
said that we were impairing that SER
vice"
The Governor declared the Civil Ser
vice records did not tell the whole
story. One reason Is that before last
year there were many in the State en-
ploy who did not appear on the payrolls
and that now a system Is in effect to
get everybody listed.
Those people who did not appear on
the payrolls." said the Governor, "nev-
ertheless were in the pay of the State.
paid from the taxes before the money
went into the treasury. An actual CEN
sus of people paid by the State, made
by the Board of Estimate and Control,
shows a reduction In the number of
employees In State departments Of 9O0."
Gov. Miller said it was true the re-
duction Of $500 employees. shown In
last years appropriation bill, was a fic-
titious figure, as lump appropria tions
were made so that many of the places
in departments did not appear in the line
item appropriations. Actual analysis.
the Governor said, shows the 900 reduc-
ton.

DROP IN SHIP TONNAGE
OF PORT IN JANUARY
Figures, HoWeUer, Are Fully
Accounted For.

A falling off in traffic during January
at the Port of New York Is indicated by
figures made public yesterday at the
Custom House. Ships clearing from
New York for foreign countries last
month numbered 1886, totaling 1,436,614
net registered tons. as compared with
clearances in December, 1921, Of 436
vessels aggregating 1.604,960 net tons.
Entrances from foreign countries last
month were $40 vessels OF 100000 tons
as compared with 39S vessels of 1,S72,56s
tons
The decline in total traffic, entrances
and clearances added together. was
10000 tons. This is considered mod
crate for the period of the year, as doz-
ems of passenger ships go out of service
in January. In this way the decline Is
more than accounted for.

THREE BOARD SHIPS
OFF INDIA SERVICE
Pacific Mail Had Asked for
Withdrawal, as the Line
Was Improbable.

Officials of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company were notified yesterday
by the United States Shipping Board
that the three passenger and freight
liners operated out OF San Francisco to
ports in the Philippines and India would
be withdrawn on the completion of the
current voyages and returned to the
Atlantic for reallocation. This is the
only one of the foreign passenger SER
vices established by the shipping board
that has been abandoned.
The three vessels withdrawn are the
Creole State. Wolverine State and Gran
ite State. all of the 522 foot type of
shipping board liner. Three others of
similar design and three of the 535 foot
type remain under ALLEGATION to the Pa
cific Mail and will be operated as before
in the service to Chinese and Japanese
ports, with call at Manila.
The Pacific Mail established what was
virtually precedent by recommending
to the board the withdrawal Of the ships
on the Manla-East Indies run. The rea-
son was that profitable operation in this
service was not possible under current
conditions. 1t was held that neither
freight nor passengers were available in
large enough quantity to justify MAIN
tenance of the service, the lack Of
freight being especially acute.
A. G. Bates, treasurer of the Pacific
Mall. explained yesterday that the SER
vice had been started under postwar
conditions, which were exceptionally IA
vorable. Cargo to and from India be-
fore the war was transshipped at Hong
kong into British vessels operating
down the coast to Calcutta and Singa-
pore These were withdrawn when the
need for British shipping in other trades
became paramount, and the opportunity
arose for a direct Pacific coast service.
During the war and for time after
ocean freight rates were SO high that 1t
became cheaper to ship rubber and
