milton of Union and Permission

Harrisburg, Pa.-Governor Pinchot

increase in pay. establishment of the
eight-honr day for all employees and
full recognition of the union by the
operators without the eheek-eff, but
with the right to have union represen-
tatives present when the men are paid.
The three main points of his
SCHEME of settlement were set forth
as follows:
"1-Recognition Of the basic eight
hour day for all employees, if longer
hours are necessary at certain times,
or In certain occupations, the overtime
TO be paid for at the eight-heur rate.
"2-Uniform increase of 10 per cent
to all employees. This Increase to lake

"3-Full recognition of the union by
the operators, without the check-off,

A fourth point proposed complete

As before, the governor called bsth

LAKES AND RIVERS CLAIM
LARGEST TOLL OF LIVES

M~ontana's more than $1,000 automo-
biles. while responsible for a regret
table number OF deaths, do not in the
summer months take as many lives In
this state as do the lakes and streams
of the Treasure state, figures compiled
by the bureau OF vital statistics Of the
department of health show.
Totals have not been compiled for
all Of 1922 or for the months TO date
of the present year, but sufficient COM
piiations have been made TO show that
there are fewer deaths from automo
bile accidents than from drowning.
Brownings are increasing rapidly
and while the month Of July his year
may not be a normal month IL shows
that more people lost their lives in
the water han were killed In train and
automobile accidents combined, or I'm
these combined plus street car acct.
dents.
For July the figures are 26 drowned
six killed in straight auto accidents,
13 killed in combined train and auto
mobile smashups and six killed in
straight train accidents.
Automobiles, trains and street cars
took a combined total OF % lives, or
three less than the water alone took.
IL Is the opinion Of the department
officials that the general impression
that automobiles are the most deadly
accidental causes Is due TO the fact
that auto smashups are likely TO be
more sensational and receive more
newspaper prominence.
Lightning cost five lives in Montana
in July and these are the only acct
dental deaths that are not classified
as "%avoidable." Even so, It Is said
that some deaths due to lightning
could be averted II people would not
seek shelter under trees during heavy
transforms.
Vital statistics tell many interesting
stories. and while some Of them can
be made public. enough can be TO
show that the bureau often has In its
possession food for thought. In one
county In July there was not
natural death, although eight or 10
we're killed. Butte has the largest
of automobiles, ITS rate I'M
hing ahead OF It's per capita numoer
machines. Children who die from
exposure or lack OF maternal atten-
ion also reach large numbers.
The figures show that In July n
ather and son were drowned in Sc W.
Ige which was not two feet deep.
