A passenger cannot rely on the driver
to the extent Of failing to exercise
prudence.
In regard to the duty of the travel
er, Judge Fish stated, he must look
and listen at crossing, and if neces-
sary to do effectively, he must stop.
In this case, the matter of stopping
snust bs considered with the circum-
stances Of this case. He must use
vigilance as long as vigilance would
save him from injury.
If Bardis' negligence were found to
be the sole proximate cause OF the ac-
cident, the plaintiff would have no
remedy, Judge Fish told the jury.
However, the negligence Of the driver
il not that Of Mrs. Lefebvre.
Judge Fish called attention to the
fact that positive testimony is Of more
weight than negative. He took away
from the jury the questions Of cars
on the side track and structures erect
ed on railroad land by the granite con-
Germs at Riverton except as they af-
fected the amount of ears to be used
by the railroad in operating its trains.

Wharton Would Only Permit Ameri-

ability in Their Own Environment.

Chicago, Oct. 3l.--A. O. Wharton, one
of the three members OF the United
States railroad labor board whose dis
senting opinion on the wage decision
for maintenance of way workers
brought forth the Giving wage" re-
joinder by the majority members Sun
day, in statement published to-day
declared the majority opinion was raj
lacious and contained untruths.
Il was not permitted to see the ma
jority statement before writing my dis
senting opinion he said.
Now that / have read it, / find that
fit is fallaeious and contains untruths.
In some places it presents arguments
which on their face are impossible.
"The majority statement speaks Of
a $20,000,OO0 increase it has given the
maintenance Of way men. On the same
method Of figuring 1t cut their pay
$50 100000 in thes July decision, 80
the railroads are still $30, ,000, 900 to the
good.
1T speaks of the living wage but 1t
does not explain how laborer can
support himself and his family on $50
a month.
1T does not explain that the imita-
tion pay increase granted means only
sixteen cents day for each man.
1T says nothing Of the poor men who
live in shacks, box cars and boxes set
up on four posts"
'The majority tries TO make the pub
lie believe he added, that I would
have Iaborers given pay on which shey
could buy an automobile this year and
an airplane next year.
II ask only that man be given paw
that brings deeency with it; that
Americans be enabled to live as Amer.
leans and enabled to live in respect
ability in their own environment and,
according TO their own lights, not in
the environment of the wealthy
Mr.. Wharton said: "The majority
does not distinguish between pauperism
and opulence. 1t pretends that what la
Dor terms a living wage means opu.-
lence. Labor doesn't ask opulence. 1t
asks only Amsrican decency.'
