for the greater number Of accidents
reported" says the committee.
"Of the auto accidents, thirteen
were caused by collisions between two
cars, nine by autos running into peo-
pie. six by autos running into obstruc-
tions, three collisions between autos
and trolley cars, one between an auto
and a wagon and one between an auto
and a bicycle.
None OF the automobile accidents
resulted in death. lt will be seen from
the tabulatiOn that automobile drivers
are their own worst enemies, most
OF the accidents having been caused
by collisions between machines.
None Of the industrial, miscel-
laneous, railroad and trolley accidents
and accidents due to burns and falls
were Oht Of the ordinary run OF such
casualties A careful analysis disclOses
that fully half Of, them could have
been avoided by th0-sXercise Of a little
care.
"Five OF the accidents reported re-
suited in death, two being drOwnings
two people struck by train and one
killed by electric current.
"a woman in Seaford was severely
burned by the explosion Of a can OF
! tomatoes. Probably powder company
chemists seeking new and cheaper
explosives will take this as a tip to

The Italian press generally ap-
proved the Premier's action as the
only means Of averting bloodshed and
disposing OF a painful situation. News
papers were inclined TO avoid discus
sion Of the control bin making few
suggestions as TO the form It should
take.
The Corriere dItalia expressed
doubt that the Confederation OF Labor
could make metal workers evacuate
the plants they had seized. Evacua-
tlOn was one OF the demands Of manu-
facturers before they will consider a
