MINERS FROM NOVA
 SCOTIA ARE HEARD
United Mine Workers Told Of
 Lancaster Conviction

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 26- Nova Scotia were heard in defense of their deposed secretary treasurer, James McLachlan, in the United Mine Workers convention this afternoon and will continue their attempt to vindicate him when their deposed vice president, Alex $. McIntire, takes the rostruin tomorrow morning to answer charges made toda by former Interna- tional President John r. White.
 Strategy of the insurgent element failed them. It was planned in one or their caucuses to force considera- tion of the Alexander Howatt case today, and immediately afterward de- mand rehearing of the Nova Scotia case.
 Forestalling this plan, Vice Presi- dent Phillip Murray announced there was misunderstanding concerning the Nova Scotia ruling of yesterday and that it wuold be reconsidered.
 Joseph Nearing of Reserve Mines made another speech and when ques- tioned by President Lewis admitted that the strike in Nova Scotia was called in spite of the law. Former President John P. White gave detailed account of affairs in Nova Scotia where he went at the request of the former Nova Scotia disrtict, President Robert Baxter and under instructions from President Lewis, he said. He said the deposed Nova Scotia executive board did all the bargaining with op- orators and James McLachlan was the one who proposed acceptance of the great wage reduction.
 Just before adjournment Secretary William Green read telegram from Alabama that a jury had convicted and sentenced a soldier to IS years in prison for the killing of William Baird. a striker, who was taken from jail in Walker county in January, 1921, and shot to death. The United Mine Workers had financed the prose cutiOn.

S5O,O0O CAPITAL
 NEW STATE BANK
Meeting Next Week Will Elect Officials And Board Of Direc-
 tOrs-Charter Pending
GARFIELD BUREAU)

FAIRE1ELD, Ala, Jan. 26.--F. ID. McArthur of Birmingham, attorney for the proposed new state bank to be es- tablished at Fairfield, Friday stated that the banking department at Mont gomery has issued authority for the issued until after the meeting next bank, hut that charter would not be week when officials and directors will be elected.
 Mir. .McArthur said the new institu- tion would be capitalized at $50,000, and that he expected a majority of the officials and residents of Fairfield would be owners of the stock. Fairfield res idents are expected to be adequately represented in the official family of the bank.
 Fairfield is represented by MT. Mo Arthur as offering one of the most log ical spots in the section for the loca- tion of bank. He has recently as- sisted in establishing banks at Carbon Hill and Tarrant City.
 The First National is the only bank ing house in Fairfield, and its recent growth and expansion has been gratify- ing to officials and citizens. c. N. Gilley is vice president; Chris Marugg, cashier, and Ed Hildebrand assistant cashier. The bank was a state institu- tion until two years ago.
 Hold Ladies Night
 Ladies' night was observed by the Kiwanis club of Fairfield Friday eve ming at the Fryer Tea room. The pro- grain included, beside a number of short addresses, an entertaining musi- cal program. The regular Friday luncheon was dispensed with.
 Erect Apartments
 Announcement by the Tennessee com pany of the erection of two additional apartment houses adds considerably to the building boom already under way in Fairfield for the new year.
 Announced figures of $1,000,OO for construction for the year did not take into account any new construc- tion by that company, it being the gen. eral opinion that their building opera, tions would not include erection of new apartments.
 Work on the new apartments is ex- pected to commence at once.
 Census Results
 Official notification from Washing ton of the results of the recent federal census in Fairfield Is expected to reach the office of Mayor Pratt within the next few days.
 Intense interest is being manifested in the official statement due to the fact that several municipal improve ments are being held in abeyance until notification is made. Fairfield was unable, under the law, to proceed with certain needed matters until a federal census officially gave the city popu- lation of 1000 or over.
 A special meeting of the council is probable. Mayor Pratt said, to receive the figures.

 might have been due to carelessness
 on the part of the motorman, but doubtless in most cases the autoist was at fault, such as the IT automo- piles that were hit at grade crossings. The cases of automobiles hit in coming out of intersecting streets de-
 velop the fact that the present road
 rule giving the right of way to the vehicle approaching from the right has little bearing upon highway safety, PSI having been struck ap- preaching from the right and 29S from the left. There is no question but that few auto drivers make any effort to observe this rule and a much more simple and decidedly more ef- fective regulation is contained in the Ohio statutes, in which the definition of main thoroughfares is clearly set forth.
 The largest number Of cases are those in which autos were hit pulling out from the curb; in this instance it is of interest to note that in the city of Middletown, but one automobile has been hit in this way along the very wide Main street, while in Bridgeport, with the very narrow narrow streets, there were 200 such cases.
 There were 1870 cases where auto ists have tried 10 get ahead of trol- leys in their desire for speed.
 In St. Louis, survey developed the fact that 9,S42 vehicles entered the business district daily, the total area available for parking will ac- commodate but $500. In Chicago 1t was found that 51.3 per cent of the vehicles entering the loop district were autos. carrying 1S.9 per cent of the passengers. Two per cent were street cars which carried "A per cent of the passengers. It is clear. there fore. that in New Haven, S6 per cent of the people are being inconven- fenced in order that the remainder may enjoy the questionable pleasure of driving their autos through the central districts: the average number of passengers per automobile in no case where checks have been made being over 1.75 passengers per auto.

EDUCATE DRIVERS
 SAYS PRES. STORRS
This Is Way to Stop Them Hitting
 Trolley Cars

New Haven, April 11.-Only educa- ton of the automobile drivers can cure the habit of driving into trolley cars, according to Lucius s. Storrs. president of the Connecticut com pany, who today gave what is be- lieved to be the first scientific analy- sis of accidents in which autos and trolleys are mutually involved. He told delegates to the conference held under the Hartley foundation by Yale university and the state of Connec- ticut that of the ,000 automobile ac- cdents reported by the motor vehicle department of Connecticut for 1928, at the present conference only 646 in Nolved trolley cars,
 The records Of the trolley company throw d different light upon the sit uation for they show 525S such col lisions, including the most trivial. The analysis of President Storrs disclosed that easily the largest number were caused by careless auto drivers turn ing their cars out into the street from the curb directly in front of the trol- ley cars. Since 1917 the number of joint auto and trolley car accidents has arisen from 3S3S to 525S. Presi- dent Storrs said:
 There is no question as to the neces- sity for the education of the auto mobile drivers and the general public. nor is there any question but that education is the one means to accom- plish the desired results of a safer use of the highways of the state. Any number of police regulations or legis- lative statutes may be enacted, but unless the public is thoroughly in formed as to the necessity for such regulations, and convinced of the reasonableness of their terms, it will take constant police surveillance to obtain the desired results.
 Constant repetition of the facts that are advanced in even more important than the educational campaign itself. For instance, the instructions given to drivers a year ago, here in Connecti- cut, of the proper signals to use, when turning corners, backing or leaving the curb was most carefully followed by the great majority for a consider able period, but today there is hardly

 takes pains to signal with his hand when pulling out from the curb. al
 though most do indicate the intention i to turn q corner.
 Accidents Near Curb
 A very large portion Of accidents occur to automobiles when leaving the curb. If any m0torman ever has il nervous breakdown, if will come from constant efforts to escape strili- ing autos that pull out from the curb directly in front of street car, with out any indication having been given of the drivers intention.
 At the first session of this confer ence Professor Tracy of Yale, pre- scnted q chart showing the accident experience Of the Connecticut com pany as compared with the state rec ords. our records include reports upon the most trivial cases. q total of 525S during 923, whereas the mo- tor vehicle department list but GAG auto accidents reported in which trol- ley cars are involved; the law does not require report To that department uhitSS tH'It IS d Itisoiltti illIuIS UT damage. Therefore, our data will give another angle to the habits of drivers and may throw ad- ditional light upon the customs which if persisted in, may produce serious results.
 One Of our motormen. who has a most exceptional record for safe op- eration, expressed it as his serious opinion that no automobile driver could be considered a safe driver un- til ho had been personally involved in some kind of an accident. no matter how trivial.
 Our general claim agent. A. W. George. who has had 20 years eXper- fence investigating and settling acci- dent and damage eases, states it as his positive conviction that the main | cause for the great number of minor accidents, any one Of which might be l serious one. is inattention on the I part of the driver.
