Albany, N. Y.-The court of ap-
peals ruled that locomotive engi-
neer has "the primary duty to oper-

The decision was made in suit for
damages by the heirs of worker who
was killed.
Witnesses testified that there was
nothing to prevent the worker from
observing the approach of the train
and that others needed the warning
of a watchman when he blew his
whistle.

Remedy" is Suggested

The remedy suggested follows:
eve most strongly urge on the en-
ployers that they effect an organiza-
tion of the industry and set up or en-
gage competent staff to guide them
in personnel policies and industrial
relations. The extent of minor griev-
ances alleged, and the strong feeling
with regards to them are reasons for
suspecting that personnel policies al
individual establishments have beer
seriously at fault. The number o1
people who have stayed on strike
seems to point to that conclusion. II
appears that there are too many
strikers to be explained either by in
timidation or enthusiasm for such q
conception as stabilization of the in
dustry. The industry is in period OF
serious readjustment. 1t has enjoyed
large profits and high wages. Over
production has resulted, and competi-
ton is forcing readjustments. II

Mythical Title
At Stake Tonight

NEW YORK, June q. U.P)-Ben
Jeby of New York and Vince Dun
dee of Baltimore will meet in a To-
round bout at Madison Square Gar
den tonight for the unofficial mid
dleweight championship of the
world. With Mickey Walker, title
holder of the division under sus-
pension by both the New York state
athletic commission and the Nation
al Boxing association, and appar-
enty ready to abandon his title to
campaign among the heavyweigh,s,
it is believed likely that tonight's S
winner will be awarded recognition
as champion.
Neither Jeby nor Dundee would
be accorded a chance of victory
against Walker but they have won
recognition as the best men in the
class exclusive of the champion
There is considerable doubt that
Walker still can make the middle
weight limit and little likelihood
that he can be prevailed upon to
defend his title. If Mickey Goes
return to his own class, following
his heavyweight match with Jack
Sharkey this summer, the Dundee
Jeby winner will be his logical op-
ponent for a title match.
