Charges Railways Have Sacrificed
 Plans for Safety

Washington, Dec. 16.-Evasion
 f laws to promote the safety of and employees was Enlarged to the railroads of the Emitted States today by w. P. Bor- |}hnd, chief of the bureau of safe N of the interstate commerce Commission, in his annual report N In case of the hours of service
 Saw, which prohibits train oper- lktives from remaining on duty s,nore than 16 except in extraor- |binary circumstances, Borland's
 Aeport declared officers apparent 'N had given their sanction to ENasions "to such an extent as to Effeat the purposes of the law" Ne charged that safety had been acrificed to expediency. . Railroad companies were said |so have paid Comparatively lit- |ale attention" to the maximum re- sauirement of the law regarding I.afety appliances. They were 'Said to have contented themselves sRith meeting the minimum which iSrders that 85 per cent of the .snrs in any train shall be equipped :Hith power brakes, disregardine y:he minimum requirement. that Sfll cars so equipped must be con- laected and the brakes in oper- lstion. Hand brakes also were 3flleged still to be in use on some sscads for controlling trains on 'nountain grades, altho the law pecifies that trains must be con- 1rolled by power brakes.
 S On some roads employing thu nanual block signal system, it was .aid, dangerous practices are fol lowed and rules violated to such Isn extent as to render the block System entirely useless.

LANGUAGE AND
Mine ACCIDENTS
Inability Fully to Understand In
structions Is Cause of
Many Disasters.
TRUTH OF STATEMENT SHOWN
Record of Pennsylvania Miners Con-
corning Fatalities Proves the Me-
cessity for Better Understand
ing of English Language.

Inability to read and understand
English places the foreign born in
danger of his life. In his last month
ly statement of mine fatalities by Van
H. Manning, director of the United
States bureau of mines, he shows that
the rate of accidents among the non
English speaking miners is not only
greater in all the great mining dis
tricts of the country, but the increased
ratio is uniform in all districts. This
seems to prove that the inability to
read warning signs, to comprehend
fully the company's instructions, and
to understand their foreman places
an additional hazard upon the foreign
born.
In the Pennsylvania anthracite
mines 43 per cent Of the employees
are English speaking and this number
Is charged with only 2S.S per cent of
the. fatalities, whereas the other 56
per cent sustained II per cent of the
fatalities. This Is comparative ra-
ito Of $3.50 to 1,26S against the nom
English speaking.
In the Pennsylvania bituminous
mines the ratio is I'll to 1,123, and in
the West Virginia districts, 100 to
1924.

PLAN TO ELIMINATE STRIKES
Comprehensive Scheme for Doing
Away With Labor Troubles Given
Attention by Federation.

A plan permanently to eliminate
strikes, lockoats, and other labor trou-
bles was presented at the session Of
the building trades department of the
American Federation of Labor. The
proposal has the Endorsement of Sam
uel Gompers.
The plan provides for the creation
of national board for jurisdictional
awards in the building industry, to be
comprised of eight members, three to
be international officials of the build
ing trades department and one repre-
sentative each for the American In
stitute of Architects, the Engineering
council, the Associated General Con-
tractors of America, the National AS
ISOLATION of Builders Exchanges, and
the National Building Trades Employ
erS' association.
The national board of jurisdictional
awards is to have power to investigate
all disputes and to make awards in &C.
cordance with the findings.

FARM BUREAU NOTES

The acreage devoted to alfalfa
growing in Van Buren, county is rap
idly on the increase as is shown by
the large number of pure cultures for
the incubation of alfalfa seed put
out from the farm Bureau Office dur
ing the past few months. Since APP
rol LIST, 1919, 127 bottles of alfalfa
culture have been placed in the hands
of farmers who have seeded alfalfa.
In addition to the cultures put out
by the Office large number of bot
ties have been ordered direct from the
Meteorological Laboratory at East
Lansing by the farmers of the county
127 bottles of alfalfa culture will in
oculate 1920 pounds of seed or
enough seed to sow at least 700 acres
of alfalfa, which, while it is a very
small acreage as compared to the to-
tai acreage of the county, is large
when one considers how new alfalfa
growing is to the county.
Some very interesting and remark
able points in connection with the al
falfa plant have been brought out by
the exceedingly dry and hot weather
of the past season. 1t seems that if
sufficient amount of lime has been
applied to soil and the land is in
fertile state, early sown (spring) al
falfa seeded even in small grain
crops has come through with much
better than red clover. In fact, there
are a number of fields in the county
this season wher good crop of rye,
wheat, oats or barley was secured
and fine catch of alfalfa along with
it. However, in investigating those
results we find that almost invaria-
bly, the grower has used an abund-
ance of lime and made his land fer
tile by the use of farm manure or
commercial fertilizer or both prior to
the time of seeding alfalfa.
In the past the alfalfa crop has
been considered more of an expert
ment than anything else, but it now
looks as though it had passed the ex-
perimental stage. 1t seems that a
well drained soil, heavily lined and
fortified with farm manure and acid
phosphate, seeded to one of the hardy
varieties of alfalfa, such as Grim or
Cossack, the seed of which has been
carefully inoculated with pure cul-
ture, will almost guarantee a catch
providing those conditions which are
connected with the physical side of
the planting of the crop are made
anywhere near ideal.
In addition to a sweet fertile soil
and incubation, we must have a firm
