Cities Studying Problems.

More and more cities are making
studies Of the problems of community
safety and are making surveys to find
practical ways of reducing accidents
of all types. In this connection the
National Safety Council is doing splcn
did work, in cooperation with safety
committees of associations and cham
berS Of commerce.
Cities are making greater use of
appropriate traffic signs and pavement
markings. The use of safety zones is
becoming cOmmOner. The use Of
through streets is being tried with
success.
1.-THE more cities ! visit and more |
study this whole problem of traffic ac-
cidents the more impressed | am with
the constant need for general safety
education. The newspapers of the
United States have already done Spicn-
didly in making public information
about traffic safety, but there is still
much to be done.
THE work must bc started with
the children in the schools. They
must be taught to observe traffic sig
nails and avoid taking chances. This
is no small task and Il real RESPONSE
bility to supplement the work of the
school rests upon the parent.
Traffic problems arc getting ma
tional attention, and it is we'll to note
that genuine progress is being made
in meeting these problems. The Amer
lean people are showing characteristic
enterprise in adapting cities to the
needs Of motor vehicular traffic

TRAFFIC PROBLEMS
Walter P. ChrysIer Finds
Marked Progress in
Safety Work.

Marked progress in the handling
of problems pertaining to motor vehic-
ular and pedestrian traffic control is
being made in leading cities through
out the United States, according to
Walter =. Chrysler, president of the
Chrysler Corporation, who has just
completed IL tour of inspection in Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Portland
Seattle, Tacoma, Salt Lake City, Oma

Los Angeles lis probably one of the
best regulated cities in the United
States" said Mr.. Chrysler There the
pedestrian knows that traffic rules and
regulations are for his safety as well
as for the convenience of the motor
list. In Los Angeles the pedestrian has
been taught to observe traffic signals.
The result is that traffic moves rapid
ly and with safety And Los Angeles
has an unusually high percentage Of
motor cars in proportion to population.

IN PROTEST AT
CUBAN TERROR
Asks Aid to Unionists
Jailed in Guatemala

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 2O.-The In
ternational Labor Defense of Mexico
is organizing large mass protests in
Mexico and in Central America against
the mysterious disappearance of Al
fredo Lopez y Arencibia, general Sec
rotary of the Federation of Labor of
Havana, Cuba.
Murdered BY Police.
Lopez has devoted most of his life
to the organization of the working
class of Cuba. He was busy reorgan-
izing the manufacturing industry of
Havana when he was summoned by
the chief of police and asked to stop
the work he was doing. He was
threatened with severe punishment
unless he gave up organizing among
the workers in the manufacturing
trades. He refused, and few days
later he disappeared. ----
Some workers assert that they have
been informed by the soldiers that
Lopez was drowned in Havana Bay
with a cannon ball tied to his feet.
! The militant workers have been
searching persistently. but have found
nos clue to his whereabouts.

day, when the employers have unlim-
tied capital at their disposal, if the
ranks of the workers are not solidi-
fed? 1t is impossible. There is only
one thing to do, and that is to merge
the two building trades councils.
A. F. of L. Order Ignored.
1t is a well-known fact that the two
councils have been ordered to unite
by the building trades department of
the American Federation of Labor, to
which they both are affiliated. But
the instruction has been disregarded.
Altho the orders of the A. F. of L. are
to be considered mandatory, neverthe-
less, unity is more essential than any
thing else. If the leadership of the
two councils refuses to listen to the
orders, then it is the duty of the rank
and file to act.
A conference should be called of the
unions affiliated to the two councils
for the purpose of merging the coun-
ellis. The rank and file must con
slider this a war measure-for the
building trades face war against the
open shop.
2. The painters and GLACIERS are con
Quoting the fight alone. 1t is the duty
of the entire building trades to form
a defense council for the protection
of the painters and GLACIERS and pro.
noting the interests of the building
trades workers. This might seem a
duplication of the two building trades
councils, but it is not. 1t should be a
Joint council of the rank and file, for
she charges of vandalism, incen'
diarism and explosions are piling up
and the police and detective forces OF
the city are on special guard. Can
the struggle against these forces be
left to the painters and GLACIERS alone
even if they are capable of handling
the situation?
The challenge of the open shoppers
is against the entire building trades
"in this field (the building trades) the
open shop must sooner or later be in.
stalled" The challenge has been is
sued by the chamber of commerce, the
master painters association with the
protection of the police and fire de
partments. Are the building trades
going to stand for 1t, or are they going
to prepare for war?
