An offort is being made to iniDrove
the conditions of Amercian shipping.
It is pointed ont that the United
States in 1810 with a population of
about 7,000,000, had a tonnage of
981,000 while now with 80,000,000
population, the tonnage is but 873,000.
In 1810 American ships and American
sailors carried 91.5 per cent of their
country’s ooean trade. Last year
American ships conveyed only 8.8 per
oent of our imports and exports.
While the merchant marine of the
United States has continued to fall
off, other countries have been doing
everything possiblo to enconrage
theirs.
This is not the state of affairs Am
ericans like to see. If congress should
pass a law at its coming session en
couraging American shipping the,
oountry would reap a great beneiA

tio signals, <Sf which
pected in preventing
collisions between trains, could only
keep people off the tracks when a
train is approaching, they would bo a
wonderful invention indeed. It is
hoped that the next improvement of
any magnitude in this city, will be
elevated tracks.

S ORGANIZED LABOR. I
A strike of the Tile Layers’ Union,
at Providence, R. I., which was in
augurated in June, is still on, al
though the members are winning
gradually. The agreement calls for
an eight hour day at $4 a day with no
apprenticeship system.
r The strike of [the boilermakers on
the Omaha system at St. Paul, Minn.,
has been settled, the men accepting
the offer of <3.60 a day for ten hours’
work in the St. Paul and Sioux City
■hops and <3.45 a day in the round
house where the boiler repairing is
done.
A concerted movement is on foot in
Chicago to bring about a uniform
wage scale for the 50,000 locomotive
firemen employed in the United States.
A meeting of the Executive Board of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men is scheduled to open in that city
for the purpose of formulating an
agreement to be presented to the var
An increase of wages is to be asked,
ranging from 10 to 20 per cent, accord
ing to the'advance the different roads
will be compelled to pay, in order to
reach the uniform scale. The move
ment is especially directed against
the Eastern roads.
Concessions on both sides arc draw
ing the employes of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad and the company’s
officials nearer a settlement of tho
disputed questions which have been
the subject of a number of confer
ences. Representatives of the men
and of the! oompany have met and
both sides found opportunities to give
and take.
The men abandoned the request that
the use of the double headers be
stopped, and the company conceded a
request for relief of firemen on towing
engines at coal stations oij the Phila
delphia division. The railroad yield
ed on the switching griovancle.

Automobiles approaching any cross
ing on Smith or State streets should
be run slowly. The drivers too often
depend on their ability to stop the
machine at a moment’s notice. Some
time the brake may fail to work and
a fatal accident might be the result.
It is entirely against the law to speed
automobiles on the city streets, let
alone when approaching a crossing.
New Brunswick is now cloying
the use of its new federal building.
If Congressman Howell vyafcts to make
himself real popular iaJPerth Amboy
he will get the^ork started on the
building to be erected here as soon as
possible.1
The Woodbridge township commit
tee has done at least one good thing
in the trolley matter. It has fixed
the next hearing for a regular meet
ing night. This will do away with
the extra session which has come to
bo a great waste of time.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Governor Murphy appears to have
overlooked the fact that he gave
notice last spring of his intention to
have the tuberculosis sanitarium
appropriation made binding in case it
was necessary for him to call a special
session of the Legislature.—Newark
Evening News.
Work on the improvements to the
avenue station will be begun October
10, according to the Central officials.
Remember the date, and do not for
get to celebrate the occasion in due
form.—Elizabeth Times.
Baltimore to present the grievances
was not decided.
This question of expense involves a
considerable sum, probably'more than
the aggregate benefits, if all the de
mands are granted. Four organiza
tions are represented in Baltimore,
and some of the men have been there
nearlj two months. At one time the
committee numbered 100 men, but
some of these have gone home. The
expenses of the men and their allow
ance foot up $8 a day apiece. For 100
men this would be $800 a day. The
expenses of the whole crowd have
been estimated at high as $35,000.
The indications are that at the final
conference the difficulty will be final
ly adjusted and all danger of a strike
averted.

Gray hairs often stand in the wayof advancement
for both men and women, socially arid in business.
Many men are failing to secure good positions just
because they look “ too old," and no one knows how
many women have been disappointed in life because
they have failed to preserve that attractiveness which
so largely depends on the hair.
