EXCESS CREWS IN DISFAVOR Various Attempts to Enact New State Laws Have Been Unsuccessful. Philadelphia, Feb. 27. Efforts of the trainmen’s organiza- tion to force Full Crew Laws—really “excess” crew laws—upon various states are meeting with strong public opposition. Farmers and business men of Kansas made such sharp protest that the bill before the legislature of that state was killed. February 13 in the senate committee. An effort to enact an “excess” crew law in West Virginia met with gen- eral opposition, and the bill was re-| ported adversely by the legislative committee to which it was referred. Down in Alabama a legislative com: mittee, after public hearings upon a Full Crew bill, concluded that the contentions of the trainmen’s union were not well founded and that the measure would only compel employ ment of extra men not needed on the trains. The bill was consequently ad- versely reported. ’ In Texas a new effort to get an “excess” crew bill passed has encoun- tered vehement opposition from the farmers, who defeated a previous el: fort. Out in Vashington a bill has been agreed upon by committees of both the senate and the house, which in effect will repeal the Full Crew Law of that state and leave it to the Public Service Commission 40 say how trains shall be manned. The bill before the New York legis- lature for repeal of the Full Crew Law of that state is heinz earnestly supporied by newsparars all over the state, by grange and business organi- zations, such as the Roclester Cham- ber of Commerce, and by influential men of aff .
