SAFETY FIRST PLAN
MAY PROVE REMEDY
FOR SOCIAL UNREST
Nntional Safety Council Presi
dent Says Idea Is Only Com
mon Ground for Em
ployer and Help
COUNCIL STARTS TODAY
With the arrival of the majority of dele
gates to tho fourth annual Safety First
Congress, this city will be tho stage for
the biggest affair of the kind In the his
tory of tho organization nnd tho ono
which Is expected to be productive of tho
most results.
There will be committee meetings today
at the Bellevue-Stralford, where tho con
gress Is being held. Thero will be nn
executive meeting at which a compre
hensive safety-first plan will be drafted
to present to tho congress. Men thor
oughly familiar with the development and
future of the Idea havo been working on
the details for months.
The humanitarian, as well' as the eco
nomic value of tho safety-first movement,
was lauded today by R. W. Campbell,
president of the National Safety Council
and an officer of the Illinois Steel Com
pany. Said Mr. Campbell:
"Tho, safoty-flrst movement Is a com
mon meeting ground for both employer
and employes, In fact tho only ono during
the days of what is often termed social
unrest. I think lt will prove to be tho
opening wedge for the readjustment of
tho differences between a man and his
help. Certainly, lt Is tho best influence
In any Industrial concern for tho de
velopment of a fine esprit de corps.
"Then, again, lt has a humanitarian
valutt In the saving of untold lives and
Kmbs and suffering and sorrow," con
tinued Mr. Campbell, who is the son-in-law
of Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman
of the Board of Directors ot the United
States Steel Corporation. "It also has
an economlo value not only to the em
ployer and employe but to society at
large. For the employer loses his time
and the services of an experienced man;
the employe loses money, for he does
not got full compensation, and society In
the end pays heavily as lt has- to make
up tho difference between the wages the
man Is worth when he la working and
what ho receives when ho Is Injured.
Besides, it Is a loss of efficiency to be
forced to put a new man Into the place
of an experienced workman whenever tho
latter is hurt. The safety-first move
ment is the finest combination of both
humanitarian and economic Ideals."

NEW Tonic, Oct. 18. Judge Hunt, in
tho United States Court, today tem
porarily granted the motion of counsel
for William Rockefeller and ten other di
rectors nnd former directors of the Now
Haven Railroad to quash tho Indictment
against them, charging conspiracy In vio
lation of tho Sherman act, and the trial
began with nn address by the Govern
ment prosecutor, R. L. Baits, a former
law partner of Attorney General Gregory.
"Tho Government Is not against tho
combination of railroads, steamship lines
or other Industries If the combinations
nro formed nccordlng to law," was his
opening shot. The charge against the
defendants. In concrete form, Is tho mo
nopolizing 6f New England's transporta
tion business.
Mr. Ratts linmmcred homo to tho jury
tho statement that tho Sherman law Is
not a barrier against "big business" elm
ply because of Its size.
He emphasized that the Government
docs not desire to prevent the natural de
velopment of trado and commerce, but
only to safeguard tho peoplo against
"business expansion that Is Illegally orig
inated, that is conducted In deflanco of
the law and that benefits only a few."
AGAINST MONOPOLY.
"The Government does not suggest, or
Is lt tho purpose ot the Government to
insist that tho many railroads that now
constitute the present New Haven system
should be changed back Into their orig
inal form," said tho prosecutor. "But It is
tho purpose of the Government to push
to a conclusion the issue whether or not
aJ gigantic corporation, with untold power
and Influence, can rule the entire land and
water transportation lines of a certain
section of tho country."
Mr. Batts pointed out In great detail
how tho New Haven controlled 1700 miles
of railroad In New England In compari
son to 626 it operated In 1890. This In
eludes both steam and trolley lines, but
not the steamship lines. Ho said tho New
Haven controlled more than 160 such
concerns and dominated and formed the
policy f these lines. Ho asserted that
the New Haven rules the entire transpor
tation lines of Connecticut, Massachu
setts, Rhodo Island, Vermont, New
Hampshire and parts of Maine, beside
controlling every Important water route
that touched a New England port. Batts'
opening statement may take up two days'
session of tho trial.
PLEA OF DEFENDANTS.
The motion to quash tho Indictment,
temporarily Ignored by the court, had set
forth these contentions:
That tho indictment alleges no crime
against the laws of the United States;
that tho combinations alleged could not
have resulted In Illegal conspiracy; that
the defendants, at any time within throe
years prior to the Indictment did not corf
splre to use any of the methods men
tioned; that the Indictment does not
specify the times when any of tho alleged
acts were commuted; tnat tno alleged
combinations were not made for tho pur
Ipose of monopolizing any part of the com
merce between the several States of tho
United States within the meaning of the
statute unon which thn iniUptmnnt ic
framed; that the combinations alleged
did not deprive the people of any State of
any benefits; that It does, not appear that
tho' acts alleged, If successfully carried
out, could have resulted In a monoply
within tho meaning of the, .statuto; that
It does not appear that the defendants
had any intention of Interfering with in
terstate commerce or competition in in
terstate commerce

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. All German
sailors on the Interned liner Kronprln
Wllhelm and Prlns Kltel Freldrlch are
virtually held ns hostages for the return
of the six who escaped on the yacht
Kcllpso. They Navy Department today
decided to keep the remaining interned
sailors closely confined. The order re
voking all leaves of absence will be
continued until the men who escaped
aro returned.
It developed today that when the Navy
and State Departments were notified of
the plans of tho German officers to buy
tho Eclipse, the Navy Department di
rected that the purchase should not bo
allowed. Tho transfer was never made,
although Admiral Beatty, of tho Norfolk
Navy Yard, knew tho Germans had tho
ship In their possession under an option.
No action was required rrom the State
Department to block tho purchase plan,
and Admiral Ucatty Is not censured by
navy officials because he had tho parole

If we did not blend in

One Week of
Intensified Value
in Winter Suits at
$15
C We abstain from the use of superlatives in
the language of our announcement, because we
have put the Superlative of Intensified Value
into the Clothes. The story of our preparations,
the standards of Perry & Co., and the intrinsic
weight of the words Intensified Value, as used
by us in this announcement, are Warrant of the
Worth you will find in this
One Week of
Intensified Value
in Winter Suits at $15
,C Here is the story in a nutshell. We place on
special sale today, for this one week only, about
1000 Suits made of fine silk-mixed and fancy
worsteds, cassimeres, cheviots and blue serge
that we have closed out from the mills in these
last few weeks at concessions so great as to
enable us to pass the Suits on to you at $15
each. They are made up into plain conservative
Suits, stylish, soft-roll Suits, pleated-back Suits
for young Fellows, without parallel for value
anywhere else today 1 Under any ordinary cir
cumstances they would have to be sold at, an
advance of five to seven dollars on each Suit.
C Not one of these Intenslfied-value Suits has
figured in our regular stock at $15 this season!
They were placed on sale for the first time this
Monday Morning!
C Don't imagine you can buy Suits like these
for $15 next week, or any other week! We
can't replace them, and their equals will not
appear again this Fall at $15!
This One Week Only!
And this is the first day!
