SLIPPERY HIGHWAYS
CALL FOR CAUTION

A warning against fast driving on
slippery roads was issued this week
by Earle Brown, chief of the Minneso-
ia Highway patrol Drivers are urged
to keep an eye on the other fellow
and make allowances so that they
can always stop in the clear space
ahead.
"A light shower may make an un-
paved road slippery and very danger
Gus In short time" Mr.. Brown points
out. "a speed which is perfectly safe
when the roads are dry may be very
dangerous when there is a thin layer
of mud or wet clay on the road sur
face
wet pavements may be very
treacherous if there is a coating of
dirt, leaves or other absorbent mater
ial. They are also dangerous on fros-
ty mornings, and still worse when
sleet storms come little later in the
season. The motorist who is &C.
customed to driving at high speeds
must learn to slow down when the
road surfaces are icy or slippery. If
he fails to do so, he is counting dis
aster.
"The fall and winter season illus
trates the futility of trying to en-
force arbitrary speed limits. A speed
which is safe one day may be very
dangerous on the same road the next
day. The careful driver must gauge
his speed by the condition of the road
and the traffic
when roads are slippery, 1t is more
important than ever to make allow
ance for what the other fellow may
do. If the other driver makes a sud-
den stop or turn without signaling, or
IL he has a mishap, it may mean dis
aster If you are going fast and try
to stop or swerve to avoid hitting him.
1T is good rule at all times to
keep your car under control so that
you can stop in the clear space ahead,
but when roads are slippery, you
must drive slower to be able to stop
in the same space"

Number Decreases.
Some time ago, announcement was
made that $4,000 citizens of Norway
had filed application for permits to
immigrate to the United States.
Since then the American consular
authorities in Norway have asked all
the applicants whether or not they
still were insistent upon going to
America, and replies received indi-
cate that the number has dwindled
to 5000. The immediate reason for
that, possibly, is the recent state
ment by President Hoover that only
those immigrants who were financial
ly able to take care Of themselves
for some time to come, would be ad-
mitted during the present period.
Gives Million.
George Eastman, kodak king of
Rochester, N. Y, has offered the city
of Stockholm, Sweden, the amount of
one million dollars for a municipal
hospital where poor children who suf-
fer from defects of their teeth are
to be treated gratis. The offer has
been received with much enthusiasm,
and the Swedish press writes elabor-
ate editorials in praise of American
generosity.
Studying Roads.
A large delegation, headed by Mu-
nicipal Engineer L. Huettemeier Of
Copenhagen, is representing Denmark
at the international highways con-
gress in Washington, D. c. The dele
cation comprises nine of the best
known Danish highway experts, and
following the end of the congress they
will scatter to various parts of the
country for the purpose of studying
American road building in the field.
Mr.. Huettemeier in an interview with
the Washington Star expressed his ad-
of the American methods
now in use, and thought that all for
eign delegates were in position to
learn most valuable lesson while in
this country.

come the pastor of a congregation at
Waltham, Mass. Professor Youngert
generally is referred to as the most
scholarly of all the college teachers
of his synod, and he has been active
as a teacher for some 80 years. Eff
forts are being made to urge his re-
consideration because it is felt that
his resignation would be great loss
to the seminary in whose service he
has been for number of years.
Typical log house.
This week a campaign is being
opened among Danes in America with
a view to obtaining lumber for typi-
cal American pioneer log house which
is to be erected in the Danish Ameri-
can Rebild national park in Denmark
where the Fourth of July is being
celebrated each year in the presence
of about 10000 people. The lumber
now wanted will be obtained in each

Modern Literature.
Frederik Schyberg of Oslo; Norway,
has published reference work on
modern American literature; the book,
written in the Norwegian language,
deals with the literature written in
this country between 1900 and 1880,
and reviews say that it is very ably
written manual although one critic
points out that "the authors enthusi-
asm at times gets the best of him."
The book is, generally, appreciated
as strong and effective cultural link
between the United States and Nor

German Says Southern
 Mills Face Difficulties

New York, Sept. CP-t'rancis J. German. first international president of the United Textile Workers of America. in his annual report today, denounced the treatment of textile workers in unorganized southern mills and predicted strikes, bitter fights and great suffering.
 TO my mind" he said, "the time had come for us to move against the enemy. xxx I do not underesti- mate the opposition and I will make no prediction of quick settlement. Tho fight will be bitter and many will suffer, but if the employers want 1t that way l would rather oblige them than stand their petty slaughter.
 Up to now we have advised and pleaded with the workers not to strike. No one can say we have not done our part. From now on would say: Hands off. Let them go'."

A Madhouse Ship.
Two of the sailors told me that
the mate made agreements with
them that there would be two
watches until they got to sea and
then there would be three and the
food would be much better.
The mate told these fellows not
to mention it around the docks, as
he didn't want the company agent
to hear tell of it. This is the tao
tics this mate used on the couple
of unconscious slaves. On my way
back to the shipping office with my
clothes came in contact with one
of the sailors who made the last
trip on this madhouse.
He told me the mate gave the
last crew the same line about three
watches and better food when he
shipped on there. He fell for the
line. But when they got to sea
there were two watches and nc
change in the chow. There are all
kinds of stunts like this being
pulled off here in Philly. / hope

looking for coal miners. We also
have a local in Racoon, Local 1913,
N.M.U. They went into one house
to see if they could get any miners.
The men were working that day and
the woman said to them to come
back at night when the man comes
home. The woman and man were
waiting for them to come back so
they could give them a good beat
ing. But somebody must have told
them that most all of the miners
are members of the N.M.U. ar-s it
would be pretty dangerous to lool,
for strikebreakers in this part of
the country, SO they never came
back and nobody ever saw them
any more. They could not take any
miner from here to break the strike
in Moundsville because we have a
local of the N.MU. at this mine.

NEW transformations on the
railroads are worse than rotten,
they are putrid. Some of the en-
ployes belong to the Brotherhood
OF Railroad Trainnen, which are
the worst organized scabs that ever
existed in any laboring class in the
world.
The dues are $3.45 per month,
plus 81 for assessments, 1. to receive

occur on any railroad The B. Of

much better.
We are trying to increase our
membership of the National Rail
road Industrial League, which in
cludes all railroad workers, to make
one big railroad union, but we are
up against q stone wall. Several
Of us went before the boss and we
were told to stop organizing, other
wise we would have no job. In the
marine department men were laid
off; three men got to do four mems
work, etc. Also locomotives are
laid off, and four crews must do
five crews work and this is the
way it runs right along. In the
track department they are working
five days per week, and ten men
must do twelve mems work and rush,
rush all the time. / hope we are
not far from seeing the workers
