SPECIAL SESSION DUE TO END
FRIDAY.

The ten day special session of the
legislature, called to reduce the budget
and otherwise adjust the governments
financial program, is due to end Friday
midnight approximately so bills have
been introduced.
Whether suggestions of Gov. Towner,
made in his message, regarding budget
reduction will be accepted by the legis-
lature appears to have been undeter-
mined so far. Yesterday there was i'm
preston outside of legislative circles that
the budget would be touched only with
the greatest reluctance. One reason
given for this was that if the legislature
revised the appropriations the Governor
would then have an opportunity to make
such specific reyisions as he deemed
necessary, in the event be considered
the legislature had cut enough.
The impression prevails that instead
of cutting the budget efforts will be
made to find new sources of revenue

EXCESS MOTOR HONKING
STUDIED BY ELDRIDGE
Traffic Director Investigates Prac-
tice in Response to Com
plants Received.

Several complaints against the un-
necessary blowing of automobile sirens
at street intersections has inspired
Traffic Director NJ. 0. Eldridge to
make a special study Of this reported
evil.
For several days this week Mr.
Eldridge has planned to listen care
fully on his traffic inspection expedi-
tions around the city for honking
horns In an effort to determine if there
is any justification for the protests.
Personally. Mr.. Eldridge thinks that
Washington motorists. as a rule. are
not as free with the use of the horn
as those in some other cities. He be-
lieves. however. that there Is a GER
tain class of drivers who should be
more thoughtful Of the rights of a
pedest rian at the crossWalks, and ap-
ply the brakes instead of blowing the
horn.
One of the complainants, who claims
to be traffic psychologist. advised
the traffic director that 10 per cent of
the drivers in Washington fail to slow
down at street intersections, and turn
on the sirens to clear their path Of
pedestrians.

Leading industrialists of this highly
important district are not only com
mitted to the open shop, but have
shown themselves Contemptuously de-
FAINT of the trades union movement.
In the larger automobile plants spe-
cialization of work has tended to make
each man fit only for one task in q
certain plant, thus making II difficult
for him to apply his skill on any other
lob Management in these plants feels
secure against the efforts OF union or
ganizers. Union leaders. on the other
hand. believe the work of organizing
automobile plants to be the most I'm
portant they can undertake, and the
organized movement is prepared TO go
to great lengths to achieve It's purpose.
Social knowledge Profound.
One point that cannot have failed
to impress Detroit business interests

nomic conditions displayed by leaders

edge so deep as to be a revelation TO
many observers.
