Calder Urges Transit Powers Be Centralized Tells 21st Assembly Club Authority Should Be Vest? ed Either in Governor or Board of Estimate For Universal 8-Hour D?y Advises Assemblyman Clay? ton to Work for Restons tion of Direet Primary Unite* SUtes Sanster William M. Gaidar, at a ?tinner given in Brooklyn ?i'. nifht by the Twenty-first Assembly District Club is honor of Assemblyman ?leet Walter Clayton, advocated a reeteretiea ef the direet primary, a universal eight-hour day and a concen? tration of the authority for providing new subways for this city either in ths Governor or the Board of Estimate. "I an not going to discuss with you he csu?e ef our late defeat." said Senator Caller. "Perhaps ths real ?-?use i? that we wer? in power In Al? and Washington, and ths people were against those who were In ofSee. During the last year et Albany we changed the method of nominating can didates for state and jod?ela] offices. "I fca?e ro rgv* to fnd fault at thia time ?1th that action on the part of the Legislator? because I did not openly protest against It I did. however. te the Governor at the time earnestly i that this act.on should not be token. I believed then, as 1 do now, that we can truet the people of this rtate to nominate the right men for public office just as well as we can trust the party leaders. If Assembly? man Clayton should ask my advice eon -g ths restoration of the state? wide primary it would be not only that he vote for it, but when the state legislature convenes my suggestion is that bo present a bill to bring that re? sult about.

Refers to Central of Coal With reference to the coal shortage >r Calder referred to his own at? titude aa stated in Congress about the government taking over eontrol of th? mines. Continuing on this line he said: '>jre.!y, when business cannot take eare ef itself in matters which affect the very life of th? nation, then the Everament has a right to step In. tor all. the welfsre of the people is paramount to that of any particular interest. Noth ng can be done now in the way of legislation to relieve th? present emergency, and in probability nothing will be done until the commis? sion authorised by Congress and ap? pointed by the Pres'drr.t ?hall make its report. 1 am in favor of requiring the coal operators of the country to furnish the governmer.t at frequent intervale with complete information concerning the production and distri? but on of fuel, ?o that some depart? ment of the government may b? con? stantly informed upon the tubje< ? In a position therefore, immediately to advise the people of the conditions of this most important industry.

The Comptroller contended at the tim? that all th? aessions should be public and that his own "birch bsrk charter." which ha said was the only real home rule document, should fur? nish the basis for the new lastrar. Mr. Crsiff said yesterday the city ad? ministration soon will begin to hold hearings on his pr': charter, and will be ready to tabu Legislature early tn the eoming session. i Say?
