Ottawa e. L. N. S)-The supreme

Apparently there are three courses
open to the board-to make new
wage orders in conformity with the

COLD WEATHER
Increases Peril of Coal Min
ing

Washington, ID. C. (I. l.. N. 81
With the approach of cold weather
and the consequent working of coal
mines to full capacity, it is urgent
that bituminous mine operators re-
view their safety problems, with spe-
cial attention to rock-dusting the
mines as means of preventing coal
dust explosions, warns Director Scott
Turner, of the United States Bureau
of Mines. At this season, coal-mine
passageways tend to become dry, with
resultant dangerous accumulations OF
coal dust. Rockdusting is proven
method of preventing coal-dust ex.
plosions, and mine operators who
have not yet adopted rock-dusting
should by all means do so, both as
a moral obligation and as a form OF
business insurance in the protection
of life and prevention of destruction
of property in their mines, Mr.. Tur.

With the reelection of President Will
liam Green and all members of the
executive council, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor closed it's conven-
tion here after as dramatic finish
as has been witnessed in long time.
The officers reelected in addition
to President Green were: Frank
Duffy, first vice president; 7. A. Rick

Fischer, third vice president; Mat
thew Vol, fourth vice president;
James Wilson, fifth vice president;
James P. Noonan, sixth vice presi-

and William p. Clarke, president,
flint glass workers, were elected fra
ternal delegates to the British Trade
Union Congress; John B. Haggerty,
president, Bookbinders' Union, was
elected delegate to the Trades and

Thrown into the arena after a long
list of constructive policies had been
developed in action on committee re-
ports, Brookwood Labor College"
served as the piece de resistance for
those whose fighting energies had
found no other bones to rend.

Chicago e. L. N. S.)-Trainmen
and conductors of the group of 55
Western railroads settled their long
standing wage controversy by accept
ing 6a per cent increase in wages.
About $4,000 employees are affected,
it is estimated, and the annual salary
roll increase of the roads involved
will be about $6,500,000.
According to the terms of the set
tlement, brought about following a
series of conferences between repre-
sentatives of the roads and of the
trainmen's and conductors organiza-
tlons, the wage increase IS made re-
troactive to May |, 1928 Thus, pro-
viding the six months back pay now
due the men is paid without too much
delay, the employees concerned will, in
effect, receive Christmas bonus"
aggregating approximately $780,
900.
The new agreement, signed III the
offices of the Western Railway Man
ages Association, 608 South Dear
born street, is to extend to May !,
1929.
Conductors and trainmen Of the
Chicago 4 Alton also will benefit by
the settlement, it is expected though
that road was not a party to the con-
troversy. Several months ago the
Alton signed an independent agree
ment with its conductors and train
men to abide by whatever decision
should be reached as a result of the
negotiations which ended the contro-
versy.
A. +. Whitney, president of the
trainmen's organization, one Of the
three signers of the agreement, did
not express entire satisfaction with
the settlement. He referred to the
wage increase granted as being "dis-
criminatory" in comparison to in
creases won within the last year by
employees of the Eastern and South
ern lines.
Throughout the controversy the
unions fought to retain a rule which

STATE NEEDS /
10 YEARS TO \
FINISH ROADS
Work Must Be Carried on
at 1927 Record Pace
to Clean Up
WANT MORE REVENUE
Four Methods to Increase
Amount for Highways
Are Suggested.

Although 1927 was the greatest
year from the standpoint Of high
way construction by the State High
way Department, it will take ten
years at the 1927 rate completely to
improve the State system Of 4,56S
miles of roads, Ethan L. Arnold,
secretary and treasurer OF the In
diana Good Roads Association, GOT
Illinois Bldg, pointed out today, in
an appeal for increased State road
improvement.
He also pointed out four methods
Of increasing revenues for State road
construction. They are a general
property tax levy; giving the State
all the one-cent gasoline tax, now
distributed among counties, towns,
and cities; increasing the gas tax;
or increasing the automobile license
fees.
The association is not backing any
Of these programs, but desires to
stage an educational campaign SO
that the people will unite in favoring
increased revenues from one of the
four sources, Arnold said.
Wants Better Paving Type
"There are $4,000 miles of public
rural highways in Indiana" he con-
tinued. "Of the 4,563 miles embrace
ing the State highway system. 1,73O
are paved with hard surface; 1911
bituminous treated stone and gravel,
LOAF stone; 1880 gravel, and II OF
earth roads torn up for construction.
I'm addition to this, the depart
ment has taken over 200 miles or
poorly improved gravel and stone
roads, making connecting links with
the Federal Highway System, which
makes up the grand total.
Because of the expense Of main
tanning the large mileage Of low
type roads, together with the in
creased cost Of transportation and
the constant increasing traffic, the
State system should be paved with
better type at an early date.
ut is difficult to see how main
tenance cost can be reduced unless
provision is made for the moro
permanent improvement in a more
expeditions manner.
Need More Highways
eve believe that Indiana, eleventh
III population and eiqhth in the
number Of motor vehicles owned,
needs to build more than $50 miles
of paved highways on the State sys-
tenn each year and that this can be
accomplished without injuriously
disturbing economic conditions.
with reference to revenue derived
from motor vehicles, Indiana COM
pares with other states as follows:
Eighth in number of vehicles regis
tered, but forty-fifth in average IL
cense fee per motor vehicle: nine
tenth in average gas tax receipts
per motor vehicle and forty-first in
total license and gas tax receipts
per motor vehicle.
THE AVERAGE fee for motor
licenses in 1926 for the whole United
States was $l314 and in Indiana
only $3.50.
we believe that when the peopla
are informed thoroughly on the sub
Ject they will unite in solving the
problem and the best method OF
raising the needed funds"
