NEW JERSEYS
EXCESS GREW LAW

NEW JERSEYS
EXCESS GREW LAW.
From the New York Herald.
Proposed changes in New Jer-
sey's law governing the manning OF
railroad trains, like the proposed
changes in New York, contemplate
the equipment OF all trains with full
crews. The New Jersey law as It
now stands makes mandatory their
equipment with excess crews. 1t
forces railroads to carry on their
trains 3s4 trainmen whose labor is
riding. They are not merely dead
heads. They ara deadheads who
are paid high wages for being dead
heads. The full crew runs the
train. The excess crew rides on it,
Ultimately, OF course, the cost OF
paying these high salaried travellers
falls upon the public. Il is no in
considerable sum. Careful compu-
tation puts it at $4,000 every year
in New Jersey. The New Jersey
law since Il went into operation has
| cost the passengers, shippers, farm
ers, trucksters and Industrial work
ers s5,500,0O0. To the public there
was return neither in improved SER
vice nor in increased safety. 1t was
all dead loss-money as completely
gone in sheer waste as II 1t had gone
up in flames.
The Associated Railroads of New
Jersey. in suggesting to the people
OF the State the importance OF put
ting an end to this senseless squan-
der. offer a bill which amply guards
the safety OF the travelling public.
Determination OF the number OF men
necessary TO run trains is not left
to the railroads. 1t is left to the
decision OF the Board OF Public Utii-
| ity Commissioners. On that Board is
put the responsibility OF seeing TO It
that every train in the State Is
properly manned
In place OF the present blanket
law which applies Irrespective OF
varying conditions and essential
differences in train operation and
services. one is proposed which
would vest in selected and respons-
ible guardians OF the public full
authority to compel the manning OF
each train, or train group. with a
crew adequate to the conditions II
has 70 meet.

In his recent address to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission secre-
tary Hoover laid stress on two
phases OF the railroad situation
which have not been sufficiently
noted. Mr.. Hoover was. as usual,
candid and trenchant. He doesn't
confuse causes and effects or lose
his way amid a tangle OF superfici-
alities
Mr.. Hoover told the commission
that existing transportation facili-
ties are far below the needs OF the
country and that this shortage Is a
bar to economic recovery. He says
bluntly that the whole community
agricultural, commercial and in
dustrial-will be gasping from a
strangulation caused by insufficient
transportation the moment that our
business activities resume" With
the exception OF an interval OF nine
months in 1918 and 1919, there was
a car shortage in the years 1915,
1917. 1918, 1919 and 1920. This
shortage was as great 'as 10000
cars. I'VE paid tremendous sums"
the Secretary says, I'm commercial

auence. We laid IL on the war. We
should lay It on our lack OF fore

The railroads are behind now by
about 1000 locomotives and 100000
cars Unless there Is an immediate
resumption Of equipment construc-
ton Mr.. Hoover predicts that the
commercial community win pay

It from our people to do so. And

daring hold-ups in its history when FL
mer Smith, a butcher, was robbed of
about S400 in money and checks, while
returning to his home. The bandits took
some towels and an apron which Smith
was taking home to be Numbered and
placed them over his head while holding
him to the ground. Mr. Smith fought in
vain to obtain his pocketbook to throw it
into some nearby shrubbery. So great
was the haste of the men to complete
their task that when they reached into
one of Smiths pockets to get his purse
they tore the trouser leg open it's entire
length. They secured the pocketbook
containing about $500, partly in money
and largely in checks, which Smith had
cashed during the day for his customers
They also secured a valuable watch.
