of Work Among Children
Cooperation among French, English,
Italian, Caradian and American psy?
chiatrists and neurologists in the treat?
ment of war neuroses popularly called
shell shock, helped to open (he way ior
the launching of an International Com?
mittee (or Mental Hygiene, whose ehi.'f
cbject will be to bring into existence
in various countries National Commit?
tees for Mental Hygiene similar to the
one established in this country ten
years ago and the one established in
Canada not quite a year ago. Clifford
W. Beers, originator of the National
Committee for Mental Hygiene in the
United States and largely responsible
for the ('anadian National Committee
for Menial Hygiene, formulated the I
plan.
At a meeting held at the home ?f
Dr. Walter B. -lames, 7 Hast Seventieth
Street. Professor Stephen P. Duggan,
of the College of the City of New
York, was appointed chairman of the
organizing committee with power to
name other members and to proceed
with the completion of the organisa?
tion. Mrs. Elizabeth Milbank Ander?
son, o? New York, has made an initial
gift for the preliminary expenses of
the international committee. Mrs.
Anderson and Mrs. William K. Van
derbik for several years have each
contributed $10,000 a year toward the
general expenses of the National j
Committee for Metal Hygiene, which
has offices at 50 Union Square.
Will Have Many Committees
"The international committee." sail :
Mr. Beers yesterday, "will have as its
chief object the orgai/.ation of .ia
tional committees in all important
countries. Interest in establishing
?such an agency has already bee.i
shown in England and one of the first
moves that will be made will be the
appointment of a number of represent- ;
ative Englishmen as members of the
international committee, together with
groups of representative Canadians
and Americans. As y.oo'i as cont lets
can be established, groups of represent?
ative people in France ami Italy Will
be adde I to the membership of the in- j
tdrnational committee.
"It - then planned that at the invita?
tion of groups in these various coun- j
Ties representatives of the Interna- :
tiona! Committee will visit them for the ;
purpose o( assisting in the establish?
ment of national committees. These or?
ganizations will then develop the work
g their own lines in a way best
suited to meet local conditions. The In?
ternational Committee will serve as a
coordinating agency and clearing-house
for all national committees, thus en?
abling all countries to benefit by the .
progress made in any given country
with reference to all problems relating
?to mental health and modern care and
treatment for persons suffering from
nervous and mental disorders and men?
ial deficiency.
"A^ far away as South Africa re?
quests llave come for literature and ad?
vire regarding the problem of feeble?
mindedness and the plans for organiz?
ing agencies to deal with this ami re?
lated problems. Physicians in Japan
are already interested in the work of
the Natioryi! Committee in this country.
War Stimulated Interest
"As a resull of the war. of cours?^.
keen interest in mental hygiene prob?
lems exists in F ranee and Italy. No
country can manage its various social
problems unless the mental factors in?
volve': are given del trved consideration,
indeed, mental hygiene agencies are in?
dispensable social agencies in any coun?
try that desires to be progressive.
"Aside from serving as a centre for
the gathering and dissemination of non- ;
tieehnical information regarding mental
health, mental and nervous disorders
and feeble-mindedness, the National
Committee has conducted special studies
and surveys on the rare and treatment
of the insane and feeble-minded. It has
also mad- studies in the psyehopathul
ngy of crime and has carried on work
for the adoption of uniform statistics
on mental diseases throughout, the coun?
try. Another important special activity
is war and reconstruction work, by
mean:; of which, in cooperation with the
Surgeon General of the army, modern
tare and treatment for cases "of mental
and nervous disorder in the army has
?been provided, both at home and over?
seas.
"Surveys on the care and treatment
of the insane have been conducted in
a dozen states. As a result of these
studies made by highly trained physi?
cians remarkable improvements have
been brought about. In South Caro?
lina, as a result of a survey made
within a period of one month, the state
Legislature appropriated more than
$500,000 for the remodelling of a state
hospital nnd also passed a modern set
of so-called insanity laws. Similar re?
sults have been attained in other
states.
"The national committee has assisted
several state commissions on provi?
sion for the feeble-minded by con?
tributing the services of scientific ad?
visers who have conducted surveys and
prepared reports which have served as
a basis for needed legislation and se?
curing appropriations for use in creat?
ing institutional provision for the
feeble-minded.
Studies Made in New York
"The study in tin? psyehopathology
of crime conducted at Sing Sing Prison
by Dr. Bernard Glueck under an ad?
visory committee of the National Com?
mittee for Mental Hygiene has proved
to be epoch-making. The studies by
Dr. Glueck, the first comprehensive
ones ever made in connection with a
prison, have revealed the fact that
about two thirds of all of the inmates
of Sing Sing Prison are mental de?
ficients or mental disordered. In other
words, the iiroblem of crime cannot, be
solved successfully until the mental
factors involved are given due con?
sideration.
'Studies conducted in connection with
the Children's Court of New York City
indicate that a high percentage of the
children brought before the court are
mentally deficient or of psychopathic
make-up.
"Members of this group, unless prop?
erly supervised, are sure to find their
way into prison a little later in life.
These studies indicate that the solu?
tion of the problems of crime and de?
linquency, especially juvenile delin?
quency, should be attacked earlier;
that is. all school children should ba j
examined mentally and those found to j
be mentally deficient or potentially or?
actually neurotic or psychotic should
be so supervised and advised as to pre
vent their appearing later in children's
courts or in prisons.
"The Canadian National Committee
for Mental Hygiene has secured more
than t?.ri0.000 for its initial work and
is already engaging in many activities.
Provincial governments are requesting
surveys and important work with ref?
erence to immigration, and reconstruc?
tion activities following the war are
being carried on in close cooperation
with Dominion officials."
Beer and Wine Law
Will Halt National
Strike, Bohn Says
Federated Union Secretary
Declares Pending Legisla- j
tion Will Be Acceptable to
"No Beei\ No Work" Men !
According to Ernest E'ohm, secretary
of the Central Federated Union of this i
city, if the proposed legislation permit?
ting the manufacture of light wines andj
beer is enacted by the Legislature in.
Albany, there will be no danger of a!
general strike against prohibition on
July 1.
"The proposed legislation is abso-j
lutely right," said Mr. B?hm yesterday,
"and labor will be content if prohib?- !
tion is no interpreted that the manu?
facture and sale of light wines and i
beer are permitted."
Mr. B?hm said that the results of the
two-week period in which the unions of I
greater New York were voting on the ,
question of a general strike against'
prohibition would be made known at;
the next meeting of the Central Fed
erated Union on Friday night.
Asked about District Council No. I
of the Pavers' and Hammermen, who ?
had voted "No Beer. No Work," Mr.
B?hm said he interpreted that vote as
a vote to go on strike even though in
the report to the Central Federated
Union the work strike was not men?
tioned.
"Those men. 5,000 of them, will cer?
tainly go on strike if bone-dry prohibi?
tion goes in effect on July 1," he said.
NEWARK, N. J., Feb. 15.-Ironwork

Building Trades Council that the "No
Beer, No Work" slogan was unani- !
mously indorsed last night at a meeting i

"We will strike if they take the beer!
away from us, and we want the world
to know it," declared Timothy Tierney,
business agent, at the meeting. "We
are not 'rummies,' or 'beer hounds' or
anything of the sort, and none of us is
intoxicated."
"There are no I. W. W.'s among us,
either," said a voice from the rear of
the hall.
"I should say not," replied'Tierney.
"We are Km p(.r cent American. If we

Merchant Marine Is
Facing Handicap in
Use of Old Engines
22 Ships Laid Up in Port Be
eanse Motor Power Made
Under Government Con?
tract Has Proved Useless
Shipping and business interests are
agitated over the question of the abil?
ity of the American mercantile marine,
composed of steam-propelled vessels, to
compete successfully with the motor
ship merchant fleets of foreign mari?
time nations.
Incidentally, they are asking whether
the endeavor of this country to corral
its fair share of the world's commerce
is to be handicapped in advance by a
too zealous compassion for the inter?
ests of American marine engine manu?
facturers.
The United States has built no mo
torships. It has continued to pin its
faith to the steamer. Some of the
American vessels are equipped with the
cld-fashioned, coal-burning, reciprocat?
ing steam engines. In others the at?
tempt has been made to keep up with
the march of progress with oil-burning,
geared reduction turbines, steam still
being the motive power.
But these latter have fallen down
so far. as is emphasized by the fact
that twenty-two cargo ships of 5.500
deadweight tonnage each, otherwise
ready for sea. have lain for weeks in
the basin at the Submarine Boat Cor?
poration's yards at Port Newark, N. J.,
because the engines, made under a gov?
ernment contract, were useless.
Europe Making Changes
It is contended that the merchant
tonnage of England, France, Italy, Hol?
land, Denmark, Sweden and Norway is
steadily being made over into motor
ships, propelled by Deisel (heavy oil
burning) engines, and that tho'e na?
tions are at present buildinp vessels
equipped with Deisel engines only.
Deisel engines, however, are all of
foreign patent. Several American ship- i
yarns possess licenses permitting them ?
to install them, but to do so would I
crowd out American steam engine man- j
ufacturers from sharing in the con- j
tracts.
Advocates of the motorship claim
that its cost of operation is less than
one-half that of the steam-propelled
craft, that its cruising radius is about
three times as great and that addi?
tional cargo space is provided by the
absence of a fire-room.
The ships built at Fort Newark
were intended to stand ^midway be?
tween the old-fashioned wcoal-burning
steamer and the motorship.
Though equipped with engines capa?
ble of burning oil, the propulsion
power is steam. The engines arc
known as geared reduction turbines,
manufactured by the Westinghouse
Company, of Essington, Pa.
New Engine Is Sought
H. R. Sutphen, vice-president of the
Submarine Boat Corporation, was asked
yesterday if it were true that the
twenty-two ships at Port Newark had ?
been delayed in going into service be- ?
cause these engines were faulty.
"That caused the delay," he an?
swered. "It is unfortunate, but neither
the government nor the Westinghouse
Company should be blamed. Both were
trying to develop an engine that would
serve the purpose not only of our war
needs, but. of a permanent mercantile
marine."
"Were net the turbines tested at the
Westinghouse plant before being sent
to Port Newark?" Mr. Sutphen was
asked.
"Apparently tliey were not given a
sufficient test," he replied.
"Instead of experimenting with
these geared reduction turbines could
not the government have taken ad
vantake of the tried types of Deisel
engine ?"
"We proposed to General Coethals,"
Mr. Sutphen said, "when he was on
the Shipping Board that "00 motor
ships to be equipped with Deisel en?
gines be built, but he rejected the
idea."
Mr. Sutphen insisted that the oil
burning turbine was a great advance
over the coal-burning engine.
"The motorship may prove to be
a still greater advance," he added, "but
we will have to come to it by degrees."
"Foreign nations are adopting the
Deisel engine at one jump, are they
not?" he was asked.
"I understand they are installing it
in many of their ships," he answered.
"It is cheaper to operate."
Hurley's Views Quoted
"In the face of that can the Ameri?
can mercantile marine, steam-pro?
pelled, hold its own on the seas?"
Mr. Sutphen asserted his belief that
it could, though he did not give the
reasons for his opinion.
"I would not even say," he declared,
"that American coal-burning ships can?
not compete with foreign motorships."
In opposition to this view a state?
ment by Edward N. Hurley, chairman
of the United States Shipping Hoard, j
published recently in the magazine j
"Motorship," is being quoted by those
who favor the adoption of the Deisel
engine.
Mr. Hurley cited the instance of a
coal-burning steamer and a motorship
of like tonnage, each voyaging around
the world. The motorship showed a
savint; in fuel cost of 70 per cent, a
saving in time of 20 per cen?, and an
increase in cargo of nearly 15 per cent. ;
Inasmuch as the nation whose ship- j
ping rates are the lowest will be in a
fair way to sweep the vessels of other;
nations from the seas, it is to com- ?
parisons such as this that the pro- j
ponents of the motorship point to .sub?
stantiate their argument.
Can l se Foreign Engines
The types of Diesel engine available
for installation in American ships are
the Wcrkenspoor, a Holland patent, and
the Burmeiater ?S-. Wain, a Denmark
patent. The New York Shipbuilding
Company, of Camden, N. J., and the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company
hob! licenses to install the Wcrkens?
poor engines, and Cramps, of Phila?
delphia, that for the Burmeister <v
W a i n.
The Submarine Boal Corporation's
contract, calls for construction of 150
ships of 5,500 tons each. Twenty-three
of these have been completed, save for
the faulty engines, and twenty-eight
more are on the ways. One hundred
and fifty sets of geared reduction tur?
bines, to cost $0,000,000, were ordered
from the Westinghouse company for
these vessels. ?
Only one of the completed vessels
ever put to sea. She is the Agawan?,
She started for Genoa with a cargo of
sugar, steamed under full speed for
twenty-four hours and then the gears
burned out. She was taken to dry
dock in lloboken and equipped with a
new set of gears. She was able to get.
no further than Bermuda, and is still
there, laid up for repairs.
Two Others, the Alamosn and Alcona.
were given ?lock trials which proved
unsatisfactory. All the seta of gears
were then returned to Essington,
where, it in ?aid, several of them
burned up under a brake test. Lack
of clearance between teeth, excessive
tooth pressure and a faulty lubricut
ing oil system are given as the causes
of the breakdown of the gears.
Mr. Sutphen said the turbines were
now being equipped with a different
style gear, manufactured in ??lilwaukoe;
that these were now being delivered,
and that he was confident they would
prove satisfactory when tested. He
added that they would be tried out in a
few clays.

"Amityvillagers" Piry
7-Cent Fare Voluntarily
League to (?ive Trolley Com?
pany a Lift Formed in
Long Island Towns
The New York and North Shore Trac?
tion Company doesn't run its cars to
Amityvillo which is on the South Shore
of Long Island, but the district it senes
in Qui ens and Nassau counties con?
stitutes an "Amityville" believe?! to be
unique in the. history of trolley com-I
panics.
As prof of the "Amityvillagers" of the
North Shore pointed yesterday to the
announcement that two of their num?
ber selected by them, had been elected
directors of the traction company.
It came about in this way. The trol?
ley company was losing money steadily
charging live-cent fares and petitioned
to have the charge raised to seven;
cents. Permission was refused. Then
residents of Flushing and other com- \
munities served by its lines decided
they couldn't afford to have the trolley
company go out of business and
formed the seven-cent fare league.
All members of the league voluntar?
ily pay seven cents instead of five
when riding on North Shore cars. The
league grew with astonishing'rapidity.
Every day an increasing number of
people handed seven cents instead of
five cents to conductors. The organi?
zation has been in existence .several
weeks and has an advisory board
which is urging the seven-cent, fare.
In recognition of the movement the
traction company announced that two
of the seven-cent passengers would be
accepted as directors. The league sug?
gested Elmer C. Story of Flushing and
Charles S. Colden of Whitestone and
both have been duly elected to the di?
rectorate of the company.
