TRANSIT EARNINGS
CONTINUE TO RISE.
Large Part of Increased
Gross Revenues Carried
Over Into Nets.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

opclldl " Hc SldI
NEW YORK, June 17.-Analysis OF
reports from transit companies for
1895, made by Transit Journal, shows
that gross revenues not only con-
tinued the improvement which started
three years ago, but many companies
carried considerable portion of the
gain into net income or reduced the
annual deficits despite mounting oper-
ating expenses and heavier taxes.
In this years analysis reports OF
lis companies are presented, and in
addition revenue statements of 81
transit departments of combined
properties which do not segregate
transit expenses also are shown.
OF the companies for which COM
parable statements were available, SO
out Of ia showed increases in gross
revenue for 1896. This contrasts
sharply with the corresponding analy-
sis published by Transit Journal a
year ago, when only SO out OF Ill re-
ports registered gains.
All groups had some improvement,
but the best showing was made by the
large properties with gross transit
revenues in excess OF SlO,OOO,O00), ,
which a year ago had the smallest
proportion Of gains. This year every
report in this class showed a gain In
gross. Both the middle group with
revenues between $1,00O,OO0 and s10.-
000,0O0) and the group OF small prop
critics (revenues less than 81 900, ,OOO)
did better than q year ago, but the
greatest gains were made by the
former.
Operating expenses went up on
many properties, 81 showing increases,
against l8 with decreases. Taxes also
made a big jump. OF the 81 reports
which segregated this item, 70 paid
more taxes last year than the year
before. Notwithstanding the rather
extensive increases in expenses and
taxes, - out Of l07 companies re-
ported an improvement in net income
In every respect" says Transit
Journal, the showing for 1895 bet
tered the corresponding showing of the
previous year. While the industry has
long road to travel before it is out of
all difficulty, the progress made last
year is an indication that it is getting
firmly on its feet and that the present
year will show even greater financial
stability than it has enjoyed in recent
years"

CLOSED SHOP BAN
FOUGHT BY UNIONS
A. F. L. and c. !. O. Joins in
Appealing death. Blow"
Decision.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TRENTON, N. j., August ia
Chancery Court ruling outlawing
closed shop contracts was termed con-
trary to State and Federal Constitu-
tons and laws in an appeal to the
States highest court yesterday.
In petition to the Court OF Errors
and Appeals, Meyer M. Semel, counsel
for striking employees Of the Inter-
national Ticket Co. of Newark, listed
81 reasons for reversal of the ruling
which labor leaders said would, if up
held, be a death blow" to unionisnl.
Granting temporary restrauner
against picketing, Vice Chancellor
Maja Leon Berry held the closed shop
was illegal and 1.-The primary object
of the strike is the closed shop and
hence unlawful"
Holds Legislative Rights Usurped.
The ruling, Semel said, "Unlaw-
fully uSurped the exclusive preroga-,
tive of the Legislature of New Jersey
IN attempting thereby to establish the
public policy of this State in connec-
ton with labor disputes, l. e., the legal
lty or non-legality of the closed shop
agreement. Neither by legislative
edict nor judicial determination of
this court has the closed shop con-
tract as sought in this labor dispute
been declared unlawful"
Semel notified the company oral
argument on the appeal would be
heard by the Errors Court at its Octo-
Der term.
Declaring they were fighting to
save unlonism from certain death"
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton and American Federation OF La
Dor unions banded in a Labor Anti
injunction League to fight Berry's
ruling.
Claims Property" Error.
Semel also alleged the chancery
order erred in finding that the strike
violated the property rights of the
complainant"
He said the opinion and order "by
their sweeping scope deprive these de-
PENDANTS Of their constitutional right
as individuals to free speech, to free
press and to peacefully assemble to
petition their grievances; in violation
OF those rights conferred" by the State
and Federal Constitutions.
The petition said Chancery Court
was without jurisdiction in the dis
pute because it was still before the
National Labor Relations Board and
! the order violated rights conferred by
| the national labor relations act.

These fish belong to a large genus
with about 20 species. Only species
reach a position of economic impor-
lance to mankind The streams and
lakes of Eastern United States are
the chosen domiciles and not even
one cousin can be found on the Pa
cific Coast.
There is much difficulty in identi-
flying the species in the redhorse
group, as they resemble several others.
This accounts at times for the report
Of more than 20 species in the genus.
If you should catch or see fish that
apparently has the: characteristics Of
the redhorse tribe, study it very care
fully; perhaps you have discovered
new member
1t is very thrilling to find q name
for heretofore unknown species. To
b: able to name one will give you last
ing satisfaction. There is a feeling
OF pride and ownership to know that
one Of Natures Children and its de-
scendants will carry the name you
have bestowed upon it. Hobnobbing
with the outdoor folks pays in many
ways, and is never-failing delight
The redhorses spend their time in
lakes and streams most of the year,
being happy to 60 about seeking their
food on the muddy bottoms OF their
homes. Mullets, as you know, are
nearly all strict vegetarians. Their
flesh is tender and often has a faint
flavor OF wild celery or of the plant
they feed upon most.
In the Spring the redhorse males
assume their nuptial colors of red
and crimson lower fins, and this is
about the only time you can tell father
from mother. Up the rivers they 70,
great numbers OF them. Here the eggs
are laid and the little "red colts"
hatch. Those that manage to escape
myriads Of hungry enemies remain in
the river until they are strong enough
to swim to the stream or pond Of
their ancestors.
These fish have rather . long body
which is covered with large, evenly
spaced scales. There is a well-devel-
oped lateral line from the base of the
gill to the base Of the deeply forked
caudal fin. Large, beautiful eyes look
straight at you, as II the redhorse
had no fear, and 1t is a good fighter
when caught. The dorsal fin is al
most midway on the back, and the
lower lip looks something like that Of
old Dobbin's in a smaller edition.
There are few things more interest
ing and profitable to nature lover
than to follow through the life cycle
of an insect, fish. bird or flower. In
the case of this fish, you can trans
plant some of the eggs to your own
stream, watch them hatch, and see
them grow to the stage where they
wish to have wider experiences. Even
so, you may find them later (though,
of course, you cannot say they were
once your guests, in some lake or
stream not far from the scene Of their
birth.

Natures Children
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

W yHEN it comes to naming
M fish there are times you
w just have to call upon your
imagination. Take the
redhorses, known to many as suckers,
for example. Some harassed icthyolo-
gist saw the resemblance between the
suckers lower lip and that Of a horse.
That gave one part of the common
name At counting time the males
lower fins are bright red. This
explains the name, redhorse.
