Since 1914, ‘Technical testimony, showing the high cost of labor and the difficulty in getting sufficient workmen in many industries, was offered at the hearing at Newark to-day of the ap- Plication of the Public Service Rail- way Company for the right to in- crease their fares. Hearings bave been held in Tren- ton for the last two days and the Board of Utility Commissioners camo to Newark to-day to resume the taking of testimony.

The Professor quoted statistics of several big New York concerns showing that they employed 600,000 hands with a weekly wage of $10,000,- 000. He presented charts showing that between 1914 and 1913 the in- j had been 20 per cent., while the wages during the same period wore advanced 70 per cent. During the last winter, however, the wages paid out were considerably less, but he explained this by saying it was due to shutdowns because of lack of coal =| and power In the New Jersey districts, par- ticularly the shipping yards, the pro- fossor stated that the wages paid to laborers were 34 cents an hour, skilled men 75 cents an hour and ex- pericnced men and caulkors 92 conte an hour. These wages were consid- erably increased on account of extra work. The Professor stated that on ac- count of the large wages paid by these concerns to their employees it was impossible for many other in- dustries and companies to hire work- ors unless they paid big wages. He felted figures to show that in some Will You Sell Your Old Heating Boiler? vy can get a cash allowance on that old boiler of yours which has not heated your house properly this past Winter, and put in—(if you act now instead of waiting until next Fall) a Pik b gd trade in your automobile, piano, sewing machine or typewriter.
