Washington's Storm-crippled trans

Temperatures are expected to rise

PIEDRAS NEGRAS, Mexico, Janu-
ary 25.-Two outbreaks in the trou-
ble-infested districts of the State of
Durango were blamed today for five
deaths and injuries to two others.
Two trainmen, Jose de los Rios, en-
gineer, and Am. Garcia, fireman,
were reported killed when a band of
outlaws attacked after derailing a
passenger train between El Salto and
Durango City. Soldiers aboard the
train returned the fire.
A log on the rails caused the en-
gine and several cars of the train to
leave the tracks and strike an en-
bankment.
Three were killed and two wounded
in gun fight between agrarians, re-
sisting eviction from illegally held
lands near Villa Union, and Mexican
federal troops and Coahuila police.
Authorities said the agrarians,
numbering about Is, were repatriates
from the United States, who had
"squatted" on privately owned lands.

PAY ROLL GAINS
SMASH RECORDS
December Rise Declared
Best in IS Years-Jobs
Also Increase Here.

All December pay roll records for IS
years were broken last month, it was
disclosed today by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics after an industrial survey
which showed factory employment
rose II per cent and pay rolls 6.2
per cent.
Approximately $4,000 workers were
added in the combined manufacturing
and manufacturing industries
surveyed by the bureau, accounting
for an increase of about $4,000, 600
in weekly pay rolls over those of De-
cember, 1888.
This is the largest gain for any
December since 1919, Secretary of
Labor Perkins pointed out.
The statistics disclosed increases in
employment and pay rolls in IS States
and the District of Columbia. Mary
land and Virginia are included.
Per Cent Gain Here.
An increase of per cent in en-
ployment in the District, Secretary
Perkins said, reflected greater activity
in retail trade. The 979 private es-
adjustments in the District had 36,902
persons on pay rolls last month, with
total pay roll of $830,416. Wages
Increased 6.3 per cent, slightly less
than the increase in employment.
Maryland establishments reported
an increase of 2.6 per cent in employ
ment and an increase of 2.1 per cent
in pay rolls. For Virginia the in
creaSes were 1.9 and 81 per cent, re-
spectively.
The encouraging trends were espe-
cially noticeable in the durable goods
industries, Secretary Perkins said, as
employment figures we're 3.4 per cent
more than in non-durable goods. Brisk
demand in retail trade, reinforced by
a rise in basic industrial activities,
accounted for the gains.
Highest Since 1880.
Increased employment in retail dis
tribution usually occurs in December
as result of the accelerated pace of
the holiday trade, but in 1884 the up
turn was especially vigorous" Miss
Perkins said.
The gains in the durable goods in
duStry indicate the return of 1,l10,-
900 factory workers to jobs since the
! middle of November and an increase
OF $7,500,00O in weekly pay rolls.

Senator Norris of Nebraska, who In
1882 bolted the Republican party to
support President Roosevelt, told the
Senate today that if the President
continues to Farleyize his admins
tration he may not be President more

A vigorous opponent of James A
Farley's dual capacity as Postmaster
General and chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, Norris was
advocating his reservation to the
World Court resolution when he made
the statement about the President.
The reservation would require Sen
ate approval by two-thirds vote be-
fore any question could be submitted
to the court by the United States.
"This is not an affront to any man,
Norris said. "It is a safeguard against
any ill-considered action on the part
of any man who may become Presi-
dent. President Roosevelt is not going
to be President forever.
HE will probably not be in the
White House longer than six years
But if he continues to Farleyize his

PRESIDENT URGES
TRAFFIC SAFETY
District and 48 States Are
Asked in Letters to
Adopt Laws.

'GraVely concerned over the record
breaking traffic fatalities and injuries
during 1884, President Roosevelt today
called upon the District Commission
ers and the Governors of the 48 States
to take steps to remedy the situation.
He recommended uniform traffic legis-
lation.
In letter to the State and District
heads the Chief Executive pointed out
that the Federal Government had
taken the lead in developing remedial
measures and that responsibility for
action now rests upon them.
There is need for legislation" said
the President, and for the organiza-
ton of proper agencies of administra-
ton and enforcement.
The District Commissioners were
sent a copy of the same letter which
went to the Governors, although, OF
course, they are in somewhat different
position than the Governors, since
Congress legislates for the District

Proposals Worked Out.
The President pointed out that pro.
posals for uniform State legislation
had been worked out under the leader.
ship of the Government and that
these remedies were now available fol
universal application"
Mr.. RooSevelt'S letter follows:
II am greatly concerned with the
increasing number of deaths and in
juries occurring in automobile acci-
dents. Preliminary figures indicate
that the total of these losses during
the year 1884 greatly exceeded that oi
any previous year. We should. as q
people, be able to solve this problem
which so vitality affects the lives ano
happiness of our citizens.
In order to assist in this, the Fed
eral Government, through the Secre-
tary of Commerce, has taken the
leadership in developing remedial
measures. Proposals for uniform State
legislation have been worked out by
the National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety with the cooperation
of responsible State officials and rep
resentativeS of interested organizations
from all parts of the country.
Approval Given Form.
'The remedies that need to be ap-
piled are thus available in a form
which appears to meet the unanimous
approval of experienced judgment.
The pressing problem is to secure uni
versal application of these remedies
which have proved effective where
applied.
THE responsibility for action rests
with the States. There is need for
legislation and for the organization
of proper agencies of administration
and enforcement. There is need also
for leadership in education of the
public in the safe use of the motor
vehicle, which has become an in
dispensable agent of transportation.
with the Legislatures of most OF
the States meeting during 1885, con-
certed effort for appropriate action in
the States is most important.
Realizing the seriousness of the
situation and the urgent need for at
tention to the problem. am confident
that you will desire to participate in
this effort"

Senate struggle to open next week.
They expressed confidence that branch
would approve the bill, too, despite
signs that some Republicans and DEM
ocrats would make strenuous attempts
to delete certain of the powers the bill
gives to the President.
Couzens Promises Fight.

cries of Hitler will be green with
envy" from the group of Republican
opponents, the measure was jammed
through last night The final vote
found 81 Republicans voting for the
administration measure. while 10
Democrats. including half the Geor-
gia delegation. were in the opposition
camp. The bill gained the support
OF the entire Progressive and Farmer
Labor delegations.
Apparently taking cognizance of
Democratic insurgents who succeeded
in attaching some amendments to the
bill and were seeking to "earmark''
funds for specific purposes, President
Roosevelt had sent an explanatory
message to the House.
Segregation Impossible.
He had said segregation of items
was impossible because of the unem-
ployment emergency" and the ply
sical impossibility of weighing and
testing each and every project"
Backing his stand, the Democratic
leaders had made a plea to support
the President in his announced drive
to transfer 3,5OO,O00 persons from
relief roles to public works jobs aver
aging $50 month. They called it a
vital part of the recovery campaign.
Before the final vote, Republicans
led by Representative Smell of New
York had lost, 3O3 to 100, in an at
tempt to send the measure back to
the Appropriations Committee to
shear it of some of the presidential
powers. Smell had hurled a charge
that the funds would be used for
1886 "aS you used money last Sum-
mer when you sent a million dollars
into Maine for the simple purpose of
influencing votes"
Representative Treadway, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts, had said the
bill would make Hitler and Musso-
lini green with envy of the Presi-
dent and Stain will have a fit of
jealousy"
McFarlane Move Fails.
Among the attempts that failed
was a move by Representative Nc
Farlane, Democrat, of Texas to at
tach to the measure the Patman bill
to pay the $2,100,000,000 bonus with
new Treasury notes. 1t was ruled
out of order.

defeated a proposal by Representative
