Byrne, president of the Brooklyn Bar at the meeting of the Ninth Assembly District-Democratic Club, 259 Oving-ton avenue, last night. He spoke after the regular order of business had been curtailed by President Michael T. Fay for the occasion. A number of members were admitted to the club, and this was one of the points taken up in the talk of Mr. Byrne.

A report of Chairman Kampe, of the excursion committee, showed that everything was in readiness for the trip to Bear Mountain on July it. ana mat a lew more could be ac commodated on the steamer that day. iDeputy Sheriff John W. Kirk recorded. In his talk Mr.

Byrne took a shot at William Jennings Bryan, who has stated that he would be present at the coming' Democratic Convention, In and also at McAdoo, wno, ne stated, was not to be compared with 'the favorite son of New York State. "Most public officials straddle everything and I'd like to see some of these public men stand ud and tell the truth," Mr. Byrne said, and he added "and be fired from their jobs." He said he hoped the Demo crats would not straddle any issues at the convention, and would go before the people with op platform which Democracy thinks is the best for all America and stand or fall by tneir pledges. 1 Taking a fall Out of the Mr. Byrne stated that there are 1,900.000 of them in this country trying to change the form of government that Is acceptable to tne majority: "I believe in the Dec laration of Independence and I be Ileve in the Constitution of the United States and many of tho old things are on the defense now." "But," continued Mr.

Byrne "perhaps the majority of people want a change. The majority deserve whatever government they want." Regarding the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead law, the speaker said: "All laws on the statute books should be enforcedeand If the majority of the people are for a modification for light wines and beer the Democrats should not straddle this issue in their platform." Another item that interested Mr. Byrne was the lack of interest of great majority tf the people in public affairs. "I would like to see all young folks and all the middle aged, too, take an interest and then with the help of the old men keep some of the old good thlncs and. privileges," he said.

"Big business is jubilant over the nomination of Coolldge" said the speaker, "But Ramsay Macdonald, In England, is a man of the people. In New Tork State, we also have a man of the people, A man -do does not straddle issues. And a man who was praised by Ellhu Root, the greatest Republican lawyer, during the last Constitutional convention- Alfred E. Smith." Mr. Byrne was cheered to the echo and given a rising vote of thanks for his timely address.

CANNOT AGREE ON RATES Economic Practicability of Part of Belt Line No. 1, to Be Tested by Port Authority. DeWitt Van Buskirk, chairman of the Port bf New York Authority an nounced yesterday the making of an order by the Port Authority the first order, made' since the Walker sub poena and investigation bill was signed by Governor Smith summoning the representatives of the New York Ceritral, the New. York, New Haven and Hartford, the Pennsyl vania, the New York Connecting Railroad and the Long Island Rail road Companies to an investigation as to why the Hell Gate Bridge route, via the New YorkVonnectlng Rail road, should not be made available for shippers for the interchange of carload freight between points on the New York Central Railroad and its tonnections and points oh the Long Island Railroad. The hearing will be held September 16.

The order results from a complaint made by the Queens Borough Cham ber of Commerce of Increasing con gestion of, carload freight due to rapid growth of Queens, or delays and -inconvenience to shippers and the (fesfre of shippers to uee the Hell Gate route, as It was used during the war. With regard to the service of this order upon the railroads, chairman Van Buskirk said: "Informal conferences have been held with the representatives of the railroads concerned by a sub-committee of the Port Authority of which Commissioner John F. Galvin is chairman. These conferences with the operating and traffic officials brought out, that the rou(e Is amply capable of carrying the traffic, but that the interested carriers are unable to agree upon the division cf the rate over this route. The officials of the New York Central estimate that under the existing published rates of the New York Connecting Railroad, the New York' Central must pay between $26 and $28 a car to the New York Connecting Railroad for hauling a tralnload of fifty cars eight miles across the Hell Gate Bridge from Port Morris to Fresh Pond Junction, including the return of any empties.

"This charge is in addition to, and in some cases in excess of the allowances to the Long Island Railroad for -the service it performs beyond Fresh Pond Junction. The New York Central officials declare that the charge Is exorbitant, while the repre sentatives of the Pennsylvania ana New Haven Railroads which Jointly own the Hell Gate Bridge route, say they are really not charging the New York Central enough. The Investigation will develop the facts upon which the Port Authority will be' enabled to come to- a decision as to whether It Is now economically practicable to open up this route, which is part of Belt Line No. 1 of the Comprehensive Plan for Port Development, so that the shippers and receivers of freight' on Long Island may use it."
