Automobile Accident.

Mr.. and Mrs. r. M. Boyer and daugh-
ter Bernice, and Mr. and Mrs. Dare H.
Lamberson met with an automobile &C.
cident Thursday evening about eleven
O'Clock, while returning from day in
Des Moines They were about ten miles
from Oskaloosa on the Pella road, and
were driving not to exceed eighteen
miles an hour, when hog made wild
bolt from the high weeds on the road
side, striking the right wheel of the
car.
Mr.. Boyer was sitting on the right
hand side of the car, and saw a hog
in the road about fifteen feet ahead of
them and said to Mr.. Lamberson Look
out" Just then a second hog came
boiling out of the weeds, not giving
him chance to say another word The
steering wheel was jerked from Mr..
Lamberson's hands, the car was turned
upside down and turned completely
around; facing the other way. Mr..
Boyer was the only one who was
thrown clear OF the car, and he was
thrown about twenty feet lighting in
the road, and rolled into the ditch. Mrs
Boyer was about half under the car,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Lamberson were un-
der the front seat of the car. 1t landed
in such q position, slightly raised up
on the bank, that they had room To-
crawl out, with hardly a scratch or
b'tise Mrs. Boyer suffered a broken
left collar bone, and an ugly gouge in
the calf Of the left leg, and other
bruises and scratches Mr. Boyer suf-
feTs broken left collar bone, and
three broken ribs, which were torn
loose from the breast bone. Little Ber-
nice comes out without a scratch, and
seems none the worse this morning
for the fright which she received. She

stayed close 20 Father" and Mother

Mr.. and Mrs. Lamberson were taken
Ito their home, and examinations made
for possible injuries; but Mr.. Lamber-

WILSON'S APPEAL TO NATION

4 S
Washington, Aug. 21.-Presldent
Wilson's public Statement directed at
the railway presidents follows:
have recommended concession for
eioht-hour day-that Is, the substitu-
ton. Of an eight-hour day for the pres
ent ten-hour day in all the existing
practices Of agreement between the
railroads and the men. l made this
accommodation because l believe the
concession right.
The eisht-hour day now undoubtedly
has the sanction of society in it's favor
and should be adopted as a basis for
wages even where the actual work to
be done. cannot be completed within
eight hours.
Concerning the adjustments which
should be made in justice to the rail
roads and their stockholders. in the
payfpsnts and privileges to which their
meusa now entitled III saeb adjust
nents are necessary there@is a wide
divergence Of opinion.
The railroads which have already
adopted the eight-hour day do not seem
to be at any serious difficulty In re.
speet to their cost of operation as COM
pared with the railroads that have re-
tanned the ten-hour day.
Calculations as to the cost Of the
change must, If made now, be made
without regard to any capital or ad-
ministratiVe economies for readjust-
ment. Only experience can make It
certain that Encouragement would be
fair and equitable either on behalf of
the men or on behalf of the railroads
That experience would be o. definite
guide to the Interstate commerce com.
mission, for example, in determining
whether, as a consequence of the
change, It would be necessary and
right to authorize an increase of rates
for the handling and carriage Of
freight, for passenger service is not af-
ffected. ~
i l therefore propose that the de-
nands for extra pay for overtime made
by the men and the contingent pro-
posaIs Of the railroad authorities be
postponed until facts shall have taken
the place of calculations and forecasts
with regard to the effect Of change
to the eight-hour day; that, In the
meantime, while experience was devel.
oping the facts, | should seek, and
II need be obtain, authority from the
congress to appoint a small body OF
impartial men to observe and thorough.
ly acquaint themselves with the case
with a view to returning to congress
at the earliest possible time the facts
disclosed by their inquiries.
Without recommendation Of an,
kind, 1t would then be entirely open &c
either or both parties to the presen,
controversy to give notice to ternina
ton Of the present agreement with q
view to instituting inquiry into sug
gested readjustment Of pay or prae
tice. +1iurat'. ',@7 -
This seems to me a thoroughly prac
tical and entirely fair proposal, and
think that the public has the rieh'
to expect It's acceptance. %f.s". .a
