By-elections Pressures Narrow Liberal Majority Prospects
The article notes rising opposition to the government in by-elections, threatening a reduced majority in a new House. A major setback could trigger a renewed popular campaign on the opposition platform and delay or alter the legislative agenda. If education and eight hour bills are postponed, the children's bill may be the session’s sole significant enactment, dampening Liberal reform standing.

City health judged by death rates in moving populations

59th Street Transfers Bring Transit Coordination, A City Victory
The agreement between the Third Avenue Railroad and the 59th Street line to issue transfers between systems is seen as beneficial. It undermines the notion that transfers ruin surface railways, strengthens the Third Avenue network, and may curb Metropolitan system disintegration. Passengers will pay under five cents per transfer, a price once deemed ruinous.
