Increase Here Due to Lack
of Regulation of Walk
ers, Eldridge Says.
DRIVERS ExONERATED
IN 49 OF So FATALITIES
Capital One of 5 Cities in go
to Show Increase in Toll in
U. S. Survey.

While automobile fatalities in 81
American cities sharply decreased
during the four weeks ended Augu st
Is, Washington under the new traffic
rules was one of FIVE cities to report
relatively sharp increases. AS a result,
Traffic Director NJ o. Eldridge frank
ly admitted today that little improve
ment can be expected here until
Washington decides to regulate pedes-
trians as energetically as 1t now
regulates motorists.
Thirteen persons were killed in
traffic accidents here during the four
weeks that ended August Is. In the
same period of the previous month
only 10 persons were killed in traffic
accidents. Detroit. Los Angeles. Mil
waukee and San Francisco were the
only other American cities to have
similar increases, according to De-
partment of Commerce figures today.
Thus far this year, according to po-
lice statistics. So persons have been
killed here. Only in three instances
were the drivers of the cars causing
the deaths held accountable. The 40
others were exonerated by coroner's
juries, blame for the tragedies placed
upon the victims and the records
marked accidental"
Sees Walker Control Vital.
There is only one answer TO this.
Director Eldridge declared. 1T is
strict regulation of pedestrians.
Deaths in Pittsburgh and other cities
dropped nearly so per cent when the
authorities decided the time had ar
rived VIII en- 1t was just as important
for pedestrians to walk right as for
1rfx fryhf ha
to come to that same decision in
Washington.
We can regulate until doomsday
and not Improve our record as long
as pedestrians walk blithely out in
front of motorists who are obeyfng
the law. There is no regulation here

Dixie Cotton Pickers Get Their Fling:
Farmers Take Them to Fields I'm Autos

not all four lungers either There
are aristocratic skies and eights out
there. The cotton farmer chauf-
feurs for hired help-and is glad
of the opportunity
Not all of the Alabama farmers
are paying $50. Some farmers
are fortunate enough to get the
staple gathered for $1.35 a hundred,
but the higher price prevails where
help Is most scarce.
Wherever cotton Is grown in this
section the call is for help and
more help. Labor agents said the
labor has gone to the public
works" meaning highway construc.
ton, building of houses, railroad,
factory and mines. 1t was ex-
planned that when times are good
labor quits the farmer. When duh
times come In the centers of popu.

Commissioner Declines to
Carry Out Wishes of Presi-
dent Coolidge.
ATTITUDE TO PALMER
IS BASIS OF DISPUTE
Moved for Removal of Chief at
Recent Executive Sessions of
Board, But Failed.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The resignation of Bert f. Haney Of
Oregon as a commissioner of the Ship
ping Board has been requested by
President Coolidge and has been re-
fused
While Mr.. Haney declined to discuss
the matter today or to make public
the correspondence, it was indicated
the President acted because Of dis
satisfaction with Mr.. Haney's attitude
toward President Palmer of the Fleet
Corporation.
Wanted Palmer TO Resign.
Mr.. Haney has moved at recent
executive sessions of the Shipping
Board for removal of Mr.. Palmer,
but is understood to have failed TO
obtain any support for his motions.
He has acted on the belief that the
Government merchant feet is run
ming down under Mr.. Palmer and is
not being developed, as called for un-
der the mechant marine act, ade-
quately to carry American products
or to serve as a naval auxiliary in
time of war.
1t has been his contention that,
while there were in operation 3s6
ships in the Government fleet when
Mr.. Palmer took Office less than two
years ago, there were but PSI two
weeks ago
In the face of the refusal of Mr.
Haney to resign, the next step re-
mains problematical. Under the
merchant marine act the President
may remove commissioner only for
cause. Under this heading comes
malfeasance, neglect or incompetence.
Appointed By Harding.
Mr.. Haney was appointed from
| Oregon as Democrat by President
Harding in June. 1928, to succeed
| former Senator George Z. Chamber
! lain of that State, resigned. He was
| reappointed by President Coolidge
for a two.year term last June after
a long conference with Mr.. Coolidge
at the White House, when the entire
Shipping Board situation was thor
oughly discussed.
Mr.. Haney is said at that time to
have made clear that he had very
/ definite ideas about the development
of the American merchant marine and
proposed to act in accordance with his
! judgment. This position, it was indi-
Gated was agreeable to Mr.. Coolidge,
who subsequently rendered him the re-
appointment.
Cuts for Efficiency.
! President Palmer has repeatedly
held that the reduction in cargo yes
sells has been made in the interest Of
| efficiency, since it had been found that
waste was involved in the number
previously in operation. His most
recent remarks on the subject were
! that the amount of cargo carried the
past fiscal year and the revenue de-
rived therefrom was practically the
same as for the previous year.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August 81.
Cotton picking in Dixie is not
what 1t used to be.
Time was--and not many years
ago-when 4the cotton farmer
baslSed in an Autumn sun undis-
turbed while cheap labor gathered
his crop. Now he lis pestered not
only by a scarcity of help, but the
price he must pay for labor is
something unheard of in a cotton
field.

the. pickers were at the farmhouse
door bright and early, begging
work. The price was 80 to so cents
