By Special CorreeponOvnu.
Trenton, Oct. 5—Plans for the link
ing of New York and Pennsylvania
more closely to New Jersey through
the medium of either bridge or tun
nels were discussed generally here
yesterday by the Hudson River Com
mission and the Delaware River Com
mission which are both studying this
subject. The two bodies met In joint
session.
After the conference It was learned
that the commissions are awaiting to
hear from General George W. Goe
thals, who, as state engineer, Is stu
dying the possibilities of tunneling
the two rivers, the Hudson and Dela
ware, so as to connect with the cities
of New York and Philadelphia.
The proposition of levying a direct
state tax to pay for the improvement,
when Its form Is finally decided upon,
was also freely discussed, without any
apparent decision as to this phase of
the subject.
Both the north and south Jersey
commissions expect to have their an
nual reports ready for submission to
the Governor and the Legislature by
the first of next January.

chairman of the New York State Food
Control Commission, In an address Is
sued to the officers and members of
central bodies and local unions affil
iated with the Neta York \State Fed
eration of J.abor In hie capacity as
secretary of federation, appeals for
the organization of an active campaign
on the part of labor to promote the

says:
"In the furtherance of the great
principles of self-government, liberty
and Justice, it is the colemn and im
perative duty of every citizen of the
•tate and nation to do hie full share In
Order that the war may be brought
to a speedy and successful termina
tion.
"Many of us because of age or other
disqualification will not be permitted
to participate aotlvely under the col
ors of our country, but we can make
an Invaluable contribution to the suc
cess of our arms and the protection of
our soldiers and sailors—many of
whom are our own eons—^by furnish
ing the money which the government
needs to finance the war.
With this in mind we urgently
recommend to the organized wage
earners of our state that an actlvo
campaign be Inaugurated through the
local unions and central bodies for
the purpose of the Liberty Bonds.
Committee® should be appointed to
cooperate In the distribution of these
bonds and to make suitable arrange
ments with the bank· so that our
members may pay for them on the in
stallment plan.
"Organized labor in this emergency
will demonstrate beyond doubt its
devotion to the principles of freedom
and democracy."
