AUTOISTS
To PREVENT
SPEEDING
Portland Auto Owners Organize
TO Protect Themselves by
Giving Giving Public
a Chance.

seventy-flve automobile owners
and deaiers met at the Commercial
club last night at a meeting held un-
der the auspices OF the Portland Au-
tomobile club. to devise some means
OF stopping the speeding automobiles
on the city and county highways.
II was the unanimous view Of every
man present that such speeding
should be stopped and that the au-
tomile club is the proper agent for
stopping such speeding.
Indignant at the accidents that
have occurred in the past few days,
and most OF which It is claimed have
occurred through the recklessness OF
nred chauffeprs, every possible
means OF putting a stop to the trouble
was discussed last night. As a pre-
liminary step In the fight of the club
against this class OF men. a letter
was drafted last night to be sent 10
every owner or driver of an automo-
bile. telling him OF the laws OF the
read, the speed laws OF the county
and apprising him OF the fact that
this was but a preliminary step, and
that the next step would mean the
arrest and conviction OF any man
found exceeding the speed limit. They
are 10 be sent out az once.
Dealers. men noted themselvs for

spoke against the speed evil last
night. and sorrowfully admitted that

chimes the automobile business was
going TO get ipto a state OF ill repute
hard to overcome.
To put a stop 10 Il, the prellmi- |
nary proposition OF sending out the
circular letter was adopted. In this
same measure went an amendment
recommending 10 the city officials |
that two motorcycle policemen be
added TO the police force for the eX-
press purpose Of catching speeders |

was warned that hereafter the law

Deaths in Coal Mines, Says Watchorn

mining, and the waste incident thereto
is as e%xcusable as 1t is enormous. The
State should not only design the meth
DDS of production, but should enforce
it's mandates relative thereto fearlessly
and equitably. The States authority in
the premises cannot be doubted. In
deed, 1t is to be questioned whether the
State can be held entirely blameless un-
til 1t has not only allocated the blame
for the disastrous results incident TO
certain exceptionally dangerous call
ings, of which mining easily takes first
place, but has also apportioned the bur-
dens which they entail on the State.
Five cents per ton on the aggregate
coal tonnage in Pennsylvania would
afford a pension to each widow and or
phan, and spare us a continuance of a
part of those shocking experiences which
are our shame and our disgrace. The
assessment per ton might be graded to
ACCORD with such diminution of need as
should occur"
Mr.. Watchorn quotes at length from
the report of the chief mining inspector
of Pennsylvania to prove his contention
that the increase in the number of acci-
dents in the bituminous workings is due
to the introduction of coal cutting ma
chinery and the great influx of alien
non-English-speaking labor. These
men, ignorant of the language and of
the dangers of the work, are the prin-
cipal victims of mine casualties. The
Same report stated that in the last
twenty-five years 4,424 miners and 2.452
miners laborers, a total of 6.S76, had
been killed in the anthracite coal field.
In support Of his contention hat the
companies ought to be required to es-
tablish a fun for the care of orphans
and widows, Mr.. Watchorn points out
that seven counties in one State have a
roll of 1902 widows and $500 orphans
from 1884 to 1899, the result of deaths
that form less than half of the whole
number of fatalities in that period and
area. The total list of widows and or
phans In all the country may be esti.

section. IT dare boldly affirm" he

slaughter, with ordinary prudence,
might have been averted; and by ap-
plying an equitable rule of treatment
to those bereft unspeakable privations
might have been prevented"
Some of the greatest perils of mine
working are described and discussed
and Mr.. Watchorn thus sums up his
conclusions of the precautions that
ought to be insisted pom as follows:
Limitation of the employment of non.
English speaking miners.
Adequate lighting of all gangways.
Sprinkling of all dusty roadways.
Manholes of'adequate size and mum.
Der to insure escape from passing cars
Closing of abandoned workings, in.
suring proper ventilation Of the re-
hottest of working places.
Sufficient fresh air forced into the
mines to furnish each and every mar
a supply of not less than 300 cubic feet
per minute, and each animal not less
than 700 cubic feet per minute.
