Traffic Victim
Gets No Aid

To the Editor of The Time
The writer, a disabled war vet
eran, was struck down several
years ago by & drunken driver in
a Washington street, resulting in
several months Of disqualification
after which I am not now entirely
recovered. I also am the father
of five children and now de-
pendent upon charity.
The driver is employed by the
Government at a good salary, as
is his wife. The Municipal Court
awarded me Judgment Of $500,
which can not be collected be
cause he is a Government en-
ployee.
This drunken driver says now
that rather than pay this judg'
ment he will go into bankruptcy
After the accident he was released
from the Fourth Precinct station
still in a drunken condition and
there was a possibility he might
have struck someone else.
Does the law protect such a
driver? It has in this case. Some
publicity from your paper might
help someone else.

TO the Editor of The Times:

the time is ripe for brand new,
bigger and better veterans organ
iZation.
The American Legion and Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars are always
at odds. We all know that Legion
officials, some of them living in
luxury, do not give a passing
thought to veterans legislation.
The Legion Trust Fund is well
known.
I say that a huge women's
organization is the substitute.
One is now being formed in New
York by wives of veterans, their
sisters and others. E. c. M.

about Is minutes. Circling this large
well-fenced farm of 1000 acres, they
put the fox hard to it. Every one felt
well repaid for the long ride they had.
In hunting that day they rode over
Snow Hill, a well-known farm, in
Virginia, belonging for many years to
the Lynn families, but now owned by
Mr.. Otis Lathram. All of the fields
on Snow Hill are large, with about
100 acres in each field-Wonderful
sod for galloping over and good old
snake rail fences for jumping. Fox
hunters always enjoy riding over this
noted farm.
When Piedmont Hounds met at
Pelham's Corner, it was raining as
the 80 ardent followers arrived, and
when the master, A. c. Randolph, de-
cided to go ahead they all went along.
Huntsman and whips went across the
road to draw. The Naples started a
fox that gave a spotty run toward
Hottie" Metcalf's place, back to the
Naples, with frequent losses on the
high ground, as rain and wind were
blowing in the hounds noses.
Due to the expert work of the hunt
staff. the fox was run across We'll

bourne, back up the creek to Rose
Hill and eventually made a loop UP
to the pike, where he was lost for q
few minutes. The fox had made a
turn back toward the Naples and
the hounds soon picked up the scent
again as they ran toward the Met
calls back to Melbourne. Here they
made another loop, went up Panther
Skin Greek to Clifton Farm, then ran
back across Diamonds Corner" to-
ward the horse show grounds on to
the Peach place, where they put the
fox in on this land In front of Green
Garden.
The first part of the run was spotty
on account of bad scenting, but the
last part settled down to good hard
going and the running lasted for over
2 hours.
Among the soaking wet and mud
bespattered riders were: Mr.. and Mrs.

WORKERS REJECT STRIFE

Nowhere is the growth of harmon
ious relations between employees
and employers, without outside in
fiuences. better illustrated than in
the steel industry where recent cleo
tions have shown 80 per cent of the
workers actively participating in
employee representation plans.
A survey by the American Iron
and Steel Institute shows that of
213.8O6 employees available and
eligible to vote, ballots we're cast by
1883. All of the representative
elected were employees. with no out
siders able to gain a winning mar
gin.
The employee representation plan
embodies direct collective bargain
ing and mutual understanding be-
tween all parties, without the fric-
tiOn which has developed repeatedly
where outsiders attempted to speak
for the workers without an intimate
of plant conditions.
Sizing up the situation. Frank

the fact that the clogged condition of
