CROSSING ACCIDENTS
FURNISHING PROBLEM
1882 Persons Mot Death Or
Were Injured At Crossings
Last Year, Figures Reveal

ATLANTA, Ga, May 13.-Rail-
road crossing accidents continue to
be one of the most serious problems
confronting the country, says tire
Bureau of Public Roads of the Unit
ed States Department If AgricIl-
ture. Statistics issued by the De-
partment of Commerce, show that
1852 people were killed or injured
at grade crossings in 1928. This rep
resents an increase of nearly 20
per cent over the number killed or
injured in 1922.
1t is true that the number of mo-
COR vehicles in use increased some
what more than 20 per cent in
1928, but increased volume of traf-
tic should be met with increased
protection; it should not be accepted
as a satisfactory excuse for the
mounting death toll, the department
pointed out
The policy of the Bureau OF PUP
lie Roads in effect for some years
is to eliminate grade crossing on
Federal-Aid roads wherever prac-
ticable. This policy has mex with
hearty cooperation from state high
way departments and the public IN
general. Many crossings have been
eliminated by the construction OF
underpasses and overhead crossings
and by Regulation of the highways
so as to avoid crossing and recross-
ing tracks in particular cases aE
many as seven or eight crossings on
single road have been eliminated
by the latter method.
Safety campaigns and grade eros
ing elimination have undoubtedly
kept the number of accidents anc
deaths from reaching much more
appalling figures, the report said
but it is apparent that still greal
err effort must be made if the acci
dent rate is to be reduced.

BROOKS MELON MEN
ARE SPRAYING PLANTS

QUITMAN, May ia survey
of the principal melon farms in
Brooks county reveals that most of
Them are preparing to spray mel
ons against anthracnose, the dis
ease which caused a loss of so per
cent in the melon crop of 1928, c..
H. Firor, of the State College Of
Agriculture, spent several days
here visiting all parts of the coun-
ty with County Agent Stratford.
Farmers are being urged to spray
now while the vines are healthy as
the spray is strictly preventive and
does not cure the disease once it
appears.

workers. 1t has been presented to
the resolutions committee, and it is
before the convention to stay. 1t it
is not printed in the book Of resolu-
tions, we will bring it up on the floor
of the convention.
The resolution aimed to pacify the
Klansmen, which Olander succeeded
in pushing thru the convention, de-
clared, "The convention of the Illinois
State Federation Of Labor urges all
working people, regardless of nation
ality, race, color or creed to join and
remain members of the trades unions
having jurisdiction over their respect
i've occupations, and that trade union
lists should not permit themselves to
be divided by differences OF opinion
regarding individual affiliations, actual
or supposed, with other forms Of or
ganizations or by differences in re-
ligious views or political beliefs.
olander Loves the kIansmen.
Further resolved, that nothing that
has transpired at this convention shall
cause division within local unions or
central bodies or be used to discrim-
mate against any member or members
of any trade union movement within
this state.
Further resolved, that nothing in
this resolution shall be construed as
an attempt to interfere with the con-
stitution or bylaws of any national
or international union, local union or
central body"
Olander evidently is more concerned
with the feelings of the Klansmen
than he is with those of the militant
trade union progressives. who have
been denied the floor so many times
in the convention.

BARRIERS ADMIT

Bobbed Hair Responsible

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. IA
Women won victory in battle for
equality with men at the annual con-
vention Of the Journeymen's BARRIERS

to admit women BARRIERS to member
ship.
For is years women BARRIERS knock
ed at the door of the BARRIERS union in
vain. On the other side of that door
battles ragged and fumed between the
ultra-conservative BARRIERS from the
country who would exclude the wo-
men and the more reasonable BARRIERS
from the large cities who were con-
fronted with the problem every day
Of the year and believed in accepting
the inevitable, that women had come
into the trade to stay.
With the advent of bobbed hair and
the consequent influx of women pa
irons to barber shops the question be-
came one of immediate Importance to
the BARRIERS. To exclude women only
meant that they would meet them in
competition instead of working with
them for their common interests.
BARRIERS from large cities came to

year membership would be open to

MILITARISTS GATHER

OF AMERICAN LEGION

Numbers Of delegates are now
passing thru Chicago on their way
to the national convention Of the
American Legion at st. Paul, which
opens today. Il is the sixth annual
union Of the war veterans organ
izatlon, which is controlled by a
most reactionary clique Of capitalist
politicians.
American LeeionarIes are among
the .most prominent in the prepara-
ton of the American workers for
the next war, having taken big
part in the recent miitarist fizzle,
known as defense Day"
The convention is looked upon as
the place for having a great time, a
recent one having been the scene Of
a drunken orgy by the delegates
who forget their AmerIcanism to
the extent of defyina the police and
Flaw and order" for the period Of
the convention.
At this convention not a word
will be said about the betrayal of
the slogans that were shouted by
the imperiaIlsts when they sent
"our boys" across, and hauled them
back later to continue the home
struggle of the worker against the
boss. Harmony will reign and a
good time is expected by all the
delegates.
