STANDARD
HEARING IS HELD

Proposed safety standards that the
department of labor and industry of
the state, under the direction of Ed
ward Clifford. director of the depart
ment has prepared were placed before
the millmen and loggers of the Grays
Harbor district Tuesday morning In
the Eks Club, Aberdeen.
A discussion Of the new safety
measures that the department had re-
ceived criticism on took most of the
time OF the meeting, suggestions were
also made on some of the proposed
logging safety devices. After these
measures had been discussed, the
safety educational plans were read.
Suggestions only were made at the
meeting.
The main work of considering the
proposed standards being posting un-
til the employers and employees can
be called together, which will be
about the first Of next week, at which
time these standards will be dis
cussed and a committee appointed to
draft changes that the men find nee
essary and forward them to the de-
partment headquarters at Olympia.
The employees were not invited to at
tend the meeting held Tuesday. I'm
doubtedly the Central Labor Councils
of both Aberdeen and Hoquiam will
hav representatives present at the
next meeting.
Education Campaign.
Director Clifford in addressing the
meeting stated that aside from a hu-
name side In reducing accidents, the
employers should be interested from
a business standpoint since they have
to pay for all of the accidents, reduc-
ton of accidents will reduce the ex-
pense of the compensation costs. 1t
is the intention of the department of
labor and industries to reduce these
accidents in the mills and camps by
safety measures without working a
hardship on the industries.
The department also intends to car
ry on an educational campaign among
the employees, to teach them to be
careful, and in this way a large num-
Der of accidents can be prevented.
High speed machinery is fast re-
placing the obsolete machines Of a
few years ago end as the speed in
creases the danger of accidents also
increases, employees will have i'm
pressed upon their minds to always
make sure that they are safe before
they go ahead.

he was dreaming of the duplex and

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT r. SMALL

The great army of American golf
ers may yet rise up and call them
selves blessed in the fact that they
have a golf player as Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United
/ States. For 1t is becoming more and
more evident as time goes by and
golf courses multiply that some
I phase Of golf litigation Is certain to
/. come before the highest tribunal in
| the land. Golf cases naturally will
| call for golf lawyers. Golf liz an un-
| usual game. 1t has traditions. 1t
has an etiquette OF it's own-even If
that etiquette be honored more in the
breach than in the observance. To
the outsider golf has many queer
| angles. And so 1t might appear to
| the ordinary Judge. Golf problems
| are easy to the man who knows but
confusing to those who don't, and 1t
| so happens that there are a few
judges In the country who have not
yet taken up the game.

OF the laws Of golf when he said !:

does assume the risks of the game
as It Is played by a reasonably pru-
dent and careful person. The driving
player must use ordinary care not
to injure the player in front of him,
but the player ahead also must use
ordinary care In not being injured

He said that the complaining player
had left the green ahead before he,
the defendant, drove of the tee. It
was a one-shot hole. The driving
player had waited for those ahead Of
him to get off the green purely as a
matter OF courtesy, for he never had
driven the green in all his life and
had no thought of doing it that day.
But the miracle happened. He man.
aged by mistake to time his stroke
on the ball, and away 1t few straight

up the good work. The ball not only
scared to the green. but beyond and.
mal1clously, cracked the complaining
player squarely on the head. The de-
fendant avowed he had no reason to
believe he could ever propel a golf
ball that far.
There must have been some golf
players on the jury for they under
stood exactly what the defendant
meant and they gave him the verdict
in the $4,000 suit.
