The police put into effect today a new order prohibiting all horse drawn vehicles from crossing Manhattan Bridge, eastbound from Manhattan, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., and diverting it to the Brooklyn Bridge. The continuous stream of automobile traffic coming from Brooklyn across the central span of Manhattan Bridge made it imperative that something be done to relieve the congestion. Brookivn Bridge has ample accommodations on its roadways for horse drawn vehicles.

Horse drawn vehicles also are excluded from Manhattan Bridge westbound from Brooklyn to Manhattan, between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., and are to be diverted to Brooklyn Bridge. An accident occurring on Brooklyn Bridge today caused the order to be temporarily withdrawn. An automobile delivery truck, driven by William Carbau, 247 Holiday broke an axle and tied up traffic from 7:10 a.m. to 7:25 a.m.

The truck fell on trolley tracks, near the Brooklyn tower, as it was proceeding along the south roadway to Brooklyn. Surface cars were tied up and hundreds of early morning workers walked across the bridge to Manhattan.

That the boat owners of New York Would stand pat on their refusal to enter into an arbitration with the Government on the demand for an eight-hour day and increased wages by the 15,000 marine workers of the port was stated today by Paul Bonynge, counsel for the boat owners' association.

Whether the owners will even be represented at the hearing to be held by the War Labor Board at the City Hall tomorrow will not be decided until late today. Meantime the prospect of a strike, if the employees insist upon their demands, which will tie up traffic in the harbor and threaten the city with a worse coal famine than last year in addition to a shortage food supplies and the crippling of shipments to the 2,000,000 soldiers abroad, it was admitted, has grown imminent. Were the owners to accede to the demands now made upon them, said Mr. Bonynge, would mean that a barge captain who now gets $90 a coal month and his living quarters free on the barge would receive the equivalent of $7,000 a year, and a cook on a tugboat who now gets $1,200 a year would get $3,400 a "Of course," said Mr. year.

Bonynge, "if the Government wishes to seize the boats by using the Shipping Board do Act as a penal statute, it can probably 80. Just how far their power in that respect extends will be determined in the Commercial Cable case. The Shipping Board Act was enacted as a war measure but the Government seems to interpret the existence or non-existence of a state of war to suit its own purposes. The whole question seems to be in a nebulous state." In his statement made yesterday following a conference or the boat owners at Mr. Bonynge's office, Mr.

Moran said in part: "The present Administration is definitely committed to the eight-hour day as a universal panacea for all ailments of the body politic, from industrial measles to Bolshevik plague. It has proved to be a sure vote-getter just as certainly as it will turn out to be a destroyer of business and commerce it the tendency is not checked. There must always be an end to pyramiding and we have reached it right now in the port of New York. "If the Government wants to bankrupt us has the railroads by slavish adherences to a high sounding phrase, it can do so only by commandeering our equipment. We do no want our position to be misunderstood.

We have offered to arbitrate the wage question immediately, and that offer will always remain open to the men. Six months ago they demanded a twelve hour day and increased wages. Their demands were arbitrated and we have ever since lived up to the award. This award covered all harbor equipment, including railroad tugs, barges and lighters, and the Railroad Administration had representative on the arbitration board. Almost over night and without warning of any kind the Railroad Administration double crossed us, ditched the outfit and placed its marine employees on a theoretic eight-hour day.

"In making a stand we feel we are rendering a public service to the merchants and the public of the Port of New York. If the demands of the men are granted the result will be a modest little increase of $36.000.000 in port charges. That sum will come out of the pockets of every man, woman and child hereabout. Furthermore, it will put our port charges so 'high that commerce will automatically be diverted to other ports where some vestige of sanity The Woman Voter The Women's Democratic Council of the Fourth Assembly District will hold its second annual election at the Seneca Club in January. The council has a membership of 500.

The election promises a lively contest for all offices. as according the bylaws no officer can be re-elected to succeed herself. This automatically releases Dr. Laura M. Riegelman, the president and executive member.

There was an effort to. amend the bylaws to allow Dr. Riegelman to remain as president, but she refused to allow it. She said: "Such a proceeding in so large an organization would not be for the best interests of the council at this time. I feel that there are other women of ability here who should have the honor and the opportunity.

It is undemocratic to have an organization continually under the same officers." Another rule that adds to the interest of the election is that all nominations must be made from the floor. A number of candidates are in the field for each of the five offices, president, two vice presidents, treassecretary and for the five executive members of the board. zelman "President's Copy" of The women, presented to Dr. Riethe "Defenders of Democracy" with the note "For our president, who refused to be re-elected."
