'Kingfish' Silent
Before His Speech
BY International News Service

Senator Huey "Kingfish" Long
was in his Senate office today,
ready to make his much adver-
tised speech on the divers sub
jects" of interest to him.
The "Kingfish," however, would
not see reporters before the Sen
ate convened for the day. His
secretary answered the phone
and said the Senator would make
his speech, but did not care to dis.
cuss it before he sought the floor
in the Senate chamber.

Casualties from automobile ac-
cidents are running about the
same this year as last, when
80, 900 persons were killed and
nearly q million injured. For the
first nine months of this year, ac-
cording to preliminary reports
analysed by the Travellers 1nsur-
ance Company, nearly $4,000 per-
sons have met death In street and
highway accidents.
The country Is now entering the
period OF the year when deaths
from automobile accidents are the
greatest, as between September !
and the end Of December, It Is
estimated that between $4,000 and
$1,000 persons will be killed in
automobile accidents.
Probably the worst week-ed
during the year will be the Labor
Day holiday period, which IN
most parts Of the country will In
clude Saturday. Sunday and Mon
DAG. During these three days be-
tween $50 and 400 persons very
likely will be killed and 10000 to
$4,000 will suffer fatal injur-
les. This prediction Ia absed on
the fact that In September last
year the average daily rate Of IA
talities from automobile accidents
was ia and on the additional fact
that Sunday deaths run higher
than on any day Of the week.
September always marks the be.
ginning Of an appreciable increase
In the number OF deaths from au.

for the unemployed. That was
the function Of private charity,
said Mr.. Hoover. Bread lines de-
faced city streets. Shanty villages
OF scrap tin and wood fragments
rose called Hoover Cities. Secre-
tary of Commerce Lamont said,
following a census, there was
6,050,000 unemployed. Large In
dustries maintained mythical wage
scales, but the beneficiaries were
not working. In the spring Of 1881
I made O tour Of the nation. In
steel mill towns-Braddock, East
Pittsburgh, Homestead II found
mills closed tight. In textile towns
I found the smoke stacks cold and
smokeless. Membership in the Fed
Grafton was dwindiing.
That year three severe blows
struck labor. October /, the United
States Steel announced q cut In
wages Of 10 per cent. This was the
signal for wage cuts everywhere.
Then the Federation Bank and
Trust company failed in New
York--Peter ]. Brady's adventure
in labor banking. Labor banks had
been failing everywhere. The
crumbling of this shining mark
seemed then to mark the end Of
labor banking. The third thing was
a kind Of general admission by Mr..
Hoover that we were in bad way.
The country rang with proposals
to solve the unemployment prob
lem. Some suggested the six-hour
day. Some urged the five-day week.

remember labor opposing the min
imum wage? How the world has
turned upside down since.
Labor Day, 1929, and the world
looked like pretty pleasant place
to labor. As the workers paraded
and listened to speeches, the
storm clouds were gathering over
this land Of eternal prosperity.
But few noticed and least OF all
the leaders of labor.

Critics said labor had grown
soft. Prosperity had spoiled It.

REPUBLICANS SET
CONVENTION DATE
Yankee Radio Network to
Broadcast Speeches at
New Castle Sept. 7

How deep and widespread
throughout New England is tho In
terest In the Young Republican
Conference to be held at the Hotel
Wentworth, New Castle, near
Portsmouth. on September and
s, Is indicated by the announce
ment that the after dinner speech
es at the banquet on the evening
Of Saturday, the Sth, will be
broadcast over the Yankee radio
network. That the addresses will
be worthy of this distinction Is as
sured by the presence on the list
of speakers of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., recently governor
general Of the Philippines, former
United States Senator George H..
Moses, Governor II. styles Bridges
and representatives of the organ
izations OF young republicans In
each Of the New England states.
The number Of reservations al
ready received for accommodations
at the Wentworth and for banquet
tickets shows that in point of at
tendance the coming conference
will equal the great success of the
meeting at Eastern Point, Con-
nccticut, early in the summer,
while the steadily mounting inter-
est, especially among young voters,
In public affairs and in the presi-
Dental campaign Of 1895, makes
II certain that there will be as
free and frank an exchange of
opinions among the delegates to
the conference as that which at
tracted national attention to the
previous conference. The leaders
of both great parties are paying
much attention to youth in poll
tics" and as usual New England
is in the van in this regard with
the meeting at the Wentworth as
the next forward step in the pro-
gram.

Others called for, q share-the-work
movement. Some manufacturers
made repairs to keep STATS busy.
Others manufactured for stock
rather than reduce forces further.
The six-hour day was actually
adopted In the railroad shops.
Gerald Swope came forward with
his famous swope plan which re-
sembled 80 closely the MIRA which
was to follow. Organized labor
seemed utterly baffled. It advocated
keeping children in school to re-
duce competition with labor, but
did not say how the children
would eat. It demanded preference
for workers with dependents. It
called on business to hire more
workers, but did not say how they
were to be paid.
A. #. OF L. SUFFERS
AS 1882 dawned, the nation
realized that 1t was in the midst
Of one Of the greatest depressions
in modern history. BY this time
the condition Of American labor
was deplorable. At the end Of the
year membership in the A. r. of
L. had fallen to Its lowest point
about 100000. Organizers
were laid Off. officials' pay was
cut. Benefit funds were being ex-
hausted. Wage scales were be-
through kick-backs and secret
agreements.

who had been at work in 1929,

Total Deaths Ave. Daily
by Month Per Month
Total .......36,000


This table shows that in the first
four months Of last year there
were 10,0Ss deaths from automo-
bile accidents; In the second four
month period, 11,s1S, and in the
last four. months Of the year,
1904 deaths. The fatalities Of the
second four months Of the year
were 17.2 per cent greater than for
the first four months, and the rec
ord for the last four months was
39.7 per cent worse than for the
hrst four months and nearly 20
per cent worse than the second
four months of the year. During
the Hrst half Of last year, deaths
from automobile accidents num-
bered 1896, and In the last six
months they numbered 20,394,
which shows that the deaths of
the last six months were nearly 81
per cent worse than for the first
half of the year. 1t Is evident
that always In the SECOND half OF
tho year and especially during the
last four months, drivers and pc
destrians should be exceedingly
cautious.

Of last year more than 3,4oo per-

November nearly $500 and In De-
cember slightly more than $500.
One reason for the bad experience
in the last four months IL that
darkness arrives earlier every eve
ming and streets as well as roads
are often In a wet and slippery
condition. Many operators Of cars
continue through the last four
months Of the year their summer
driving habits, with the result that
serious accidents increase.
