menaced by the military and
quasimilitary activities of the
present German government,

moral and economic assistance
in the fight against present
German terrorism, and call
upon the international unions,
the State federatiOns, the city

citizens everywhere to refrain
from purchasing goods pro- !
ducsd or manufactured in Ger
many until this outrageO'-s pro-
gram of racial and political
persecution ceases"
War Danger Seen
Another resolution against
Hitlerism, proposed by Delegate
r. Suny of the Cleaners and
Dyers Union, declared:
"This bloody, barbaric dicta-
torship of Hitler, in order to
maintain it's rule, is doing the
utmost to develop race hatred.

ism, which is causing to gather
faster the war clouds in Europe,
and bring closer the danger OF
a world war;"

workers will be enlisted and civic
groups, clubs and prominent clti-
zens will be invited to participate.
''This great educational and case
finding effort will, we hope, mark
the beginning of a successful attack
on the last third of our problem"
declared DIR. Kendall Emerson, man.
aging director of the National
tuberculosis Association.
Although the year 1882 marked
milestone in our work, because
we were able to announce that the
death rate from tuberculosis had
been reduced two-thirds since our
association was formed in 1904, we
are not deeeiVing ourselves that the
rest is plain sailing. The last lap
is always the hardest. An indication
Of the difficulties that lie before us
may be inferred from the fact that
despite the gains made thus far.
tuberculosis still kills more persons
between the ages of is and as than
any other disease.
During the coming campaign we
shall endeavor to get our message
to every person in the country
through every available medium
magazines, newspapers, radio broad
casting, posters, motion pictures,
speakers and the distribution of
special literature"
The campaign Is one Of the activi-
ties financed by funds obtained from
the Christmas Seal sale last year.

upon the public the Importance of
examining every member of the
family If a case of tuberculosis is
discovered, in order to make certain
that none of the others have it.
Thus further spread of the disease
will be prevented. Special emphasis
will be laid upon the examination
Of all children of school age by both

On the other hand. however. SER
vice connected allowance also will
receive a fiat cut of 20 per cent and
IN place of the multitudinous dis
ability percentage basis now used,
hve new ratings of disability were
decreed.
The new ratings and rates go per

present table, will be: 10 per cent,
$S monthly: 25 per cent, 500; so per

Under the former tables a veteran
with service connected disability
might be classed at Al per cent dis

An instance of the working of the
new ratings would be: A veteran
now receiving $50 monthly for ser
vice connected arrested tuberculo-
sis would simply be re-classified as
disabled to a certain percentage un-
der the new ratings and would re-
ceive the new sum for that rating.
All payments for temporary dis

1t was provided, however, that the
Government could challenge this

Veterans leaders also estimated
one-half o fthe 100000 World War
veterans now receiving emoluments
under the "presumptions" that their
disability was war-connected, would
be removed from the rolls by the
new regulation restricting this pre-
sumption" to one year after dis

service connected nature will have
their pensions cut so per cent. There
was no provision for pensions for
such deaths for widows of World

Veterans organization officials es-
timated some 1000 of the 6000 So
called emergency officers will be re-
moved from the benefit list by a
new restriction that disabilities they
suffered must be directly connected
with military service before PEN
sions are paid them.
All Federal employees receiving
pensions, except those with pensions
for combat disabilities, will be taken
from the rolls.
While there was no provision for
such cuts in the executive order :
signed by the President, veterans

The complete report by the rail
road as to the cause of the fatal
wreck is given out By Mr.. Higgin-
bOtham is:
The report of the committee ap-
pointed by me TO investigate the ac-
cidsnt To our train No. 45O at WyOm-
ing. Del. states that the lock ON the
switch leading to the Wyoming Ice
and Coal COmpanys siding had been
tampered with, and the switch at the
time of the accident was partly, ii
not completely, open.
For operating purposes this pas
senger train was running nOrthward
on the SOuthbOund track. This is a
customary railroad practice. Under
such conditions the movement of the
train il not governed by visible sig
mails but the engineman operates the
train under special written orders
giving him a clear block from one
tower to another as he proceeds.
The point of the switch faced
south. s0uthbOund train had prev
iOusly passed over il. When, how
ever. train 430 running nohtward
reached that point. the switch was
open, without anyone connected with
the operation of the train having
any knOwlt dge of il. thereby caus-
ing the train to leave the main run
ming track.
"'rhe train was proceeding at a
speed OF about 90 miles an hour at
the time.
The committee reporting on the
accident consisted of: Harry Bah

land Division; A. j. Williams, chief
air brake inspector; George ii.
Stewart. assistant engineer in the
office OF the chief engineer of main
tenance of way; II. N. Stump. in
spectOr of signals"
The effect of the thrown switch
wifs disastrous, and if ii had not
been for the steel coaches, the loss
of life would have been appalling.
As il was, save for a badly battered
express car. which was catapulted,
like stone from a sling shot, into
and almost through the stout tile
walls of the warehouse, the coaches
were little damaged.

so miles an hour as il rounded

and rOared down on the sleeping

of the dead trainmen had time to
wonder what had happened.
The heavy locomotive hit the
switch and instead of swerving in
ON the warehouse spur. jumped the
track and plowed a gully along the
track side for several hundred feet.
Two of the coaches and four of
the sleeping cars were off the track,
up to their vestibules in soft earth,
but upright. Two sleeping cars. the
