DEATHS RISE
Accidents During 1885
Proved Fatal to 1852,
Figures Show

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (UP).
The average railroad passenger in
1884 could count on riding the
equivalent of 26,T25 times around
the world without meeting acct
dental death, the Interstate com
merce commission reported today.
It advised that 27 train passcn-
gers were killed accidentally or
an average Of one per each $685.
O76.037 miles Travelled.
At the same time rail casualties
totaled 1852, divided as follows:
Trespassers, 1866; employees,
1855; passengers not on trains, 27;
travellers not on trains, 8; per-
sons carried on contract, 4; other
non trespassers, largely grade
crossing accidents, 1912.
Total fatalities compared with
1916 in 1893. In 1884 16,446 per-
sons were injured compared with

CROSSING TOLL HIGHER
Grade crossing accidents took a
slightly larger toll than in 1888,
but 1886 per cent less than in
1929.
The total of grade crossing ac-
cidents was 372S, results in death

FIRST CLASS CROOKS

Dispatches from Washington state that the Sc
curities Commission has barred from their business
thirty-sx brokers and dealers unfit to sell or buy
securities from the American public"
This is a move, at least, in the right direction
The operations of lot of brokers and security
sellers in the past few years brought the great

No class of people are more to blame for the

Many of them are today starting operations

Courts decision in the case OF
Colgate VS.. Harvey the other day
But lawyers who do business
before the court believe the YER
dict may prove as significant as
any the justices have handed down
In years.
This case didn't involve any New

right of the state of Vermont to
exempt from the states income tax
such interest as is received from
loans made within the state.
The background was a problem
which long has afflicted the New
England states-eXport of capital
to New York and other sections
Wealth produced by New England
industrialists and New England
workers has been skinned off in
large gobs and invested in other
fields which seemed more profitable
instead of being plowed back into
New England enterprise.
After investigation and recon-
mendation by two legislative COM
mittees, Vermont decided to dc
something about it. The tax ~
emption was designed to enc0ur,

SMITH-ROOSEVELT TIFF is GAIN
TO POLITICS
(By FRUCE CATION

Every so often the American public has
to get it's blood pressure raised by some ar
gument that isn't very important, anu TO-
day the question at issue seems to be: was
AL Smith invited to sleep at the White
House or was he not; if so, what Of it?
Mr.. Smith has been invited frequently,
saws the White House. Mr.. Smith has been
invited very rarely, if at all, says Mr..
Smith. The one sure thing seems to be
that, regardless of the number or the
warmth of the invitations, he has not been
sleeping there and doesn't propose to.
This set-to, of course, puts the final
stamp and seal on the breaking of dis
tinguished friendship 1t was friendship
that had important consequences Tor the
nation, while it lasted; for if it had not
been ferstre urgingS of Mr.. Smith, MIR.
Roosevelt would not have become governor
; of New York state, and if he had not been
governor, he likely would never have gone
on to the presidency.
But the friendship has gone sour, long
since, and all that is left of it today is an
unidentified squabble which is entertain
ing, but hardly constructive.
The reason it has people talking, OF
course, is that the break is a symptom OF
an important change which is coming over
American politics.
1t would be mistake to suppose that
mere personal reasons are at the bottom OF
the row. They may enter into it, of course
but they are not fundamental
At bottom, the quarrel is indicative OF
strong new current which, running through
the Democratic party, is bearing some men
in one direction and sending others off N
another.
Whatever the New Deal may or may not
amount to, and whatever its virtues and its
faults may add up to, one thing at least IS
obvious; in a more or less confused way 1t
does represent definite political philoso-
phy, a definite view of the place which
government ought to occupy in the nations
social and economic life.
By the same token the opposition to the
New Deal, as exemplified by the non
ite-House-sleeping Mr.. Smith, repre-
sents an equally definite opposing philoso-
ply.
The mere fact that this cleavage is tax
ing place is a good thing for politics. IT.
should eventually bring back the sort OF
reality that infused American political
struggles in the days of Jackson and Lin
coin.
Modern campaigns, too often, have been
mere scrambles for jobs, with the opposing
candidates embodying much the same sci
of principles, if any.
Back of the Smith-Roosevelt row lies
revival of politics old-time health. When
political disagreements can be heated
enough to turn good friends into bitter enc
mics, it is pretty good sign that the cleo
torate has stopped shadow boxing and is
concerned with something really serious.

SHOE COMPANY
SECURITY PLAN
is |NAUCURATED
Nunn-Bush Employees Are
Guaranteed Adjusted
Compensation.
By United Press

| BIZ United Press
MILWAUKEE,, Jan. 4.-Labor and
industry today studied intensively
the revolutionary plan inaugurateed
by the Nunn-Bush Shoe Co., which
guarantees security and pleasant
working conditions for more than
700 employees.
Under provisions of new contracts
signed by workers and officials of
the company, employees will receive
50 uniform pay checks in 1886 ire
spective of f1uctuating production,
Steady employment-40 hours a
week-also is guaranteed, and in the
event of higher living costs, seasonal
or otherwise, additional compensa-
ton will be supplied.
The plan first was adopted expert
mentally last June, but after a six
months trial was successful, it was
decided to organize the system on
permanent basis.
Compensation Is Automatic
In addition to a weekly stipend,
each worker will receive a share of
adjusted compensation" Explained
as the employees share of gross
business) at the end of each fiscal
year. This, according to Henry
Num-, president, makes it possible for
the workers income to adjust itself
to higher costs of living.
This adjusted compensation"
Mr.. Num- said, sis fixed percent
age of the company's gross business.
1t does not depend upon the attitude
of the management, but is labor's
guaranteed share of every dollar
that comes into the cor,panys
treasury.
Since the percentage is fixed, the
workers adjusted compensation rises
or falls automatically in direct pro-
portion to an increase or decrease
in business. In periods of prosper
ity, when prices are rising the COM
pany's gross income is larger.
Wages Raised 8 Per Cent
Hence, this adjusted compensa-
ton is greater, enabling the work.
er to meet the higher cost of liv-
ing without lowering his living
standard. In other words the for
tunes of the employee climb and
drop with those of the officials"
Because of the present upward
splurge of prices, Mr.. Num- ex-
planned, it became apparent that the
workers would be able to use a
higher weekly salary instead of
waiting until the end of the year for
their share of adjusted compensa-
ton.
Since company officials realized
employees share of gross business
would be higher materially at the
end of the contract year, it was de-
cided to raise wages 8 per cent.

HOG PRICES UP
5 TO Is CENTS
Cattle, VeaIs Scarce and
Stationary; Lambs
Nominal.

An advance of 5 to 10 cents in
porker prices today at the local
stockyards carried the top price for
choice weights back to the $40 level,
which was maintained before the
recent sharp downward movement.
Few classes of underweights, how
ever, remained steady despite an
extremely light supply on hand.
Receipts today were estimated at
only 1900, the lightest number in
several weeks. Yesterdays supply
totaled 5000. Holdovers numbered
80.
The bulk of 100 to 235 pounds,
brought $9.45 to 1855, while 275
pounds and upward, cashed in at
SO to $685.. Lighter kinds, scaling
40 to 100 pounds, ranged from $3.50
to $975, while 100 to 40 pounds,
held at SO to 1925. Packing sows
were salable at SITS to $8.25.
The cattle market was scarce
and unchanged. Compared with a
week ago beef steers were Is to so
cents lower. Bulk held at 1925 to
$1,000. All She stock, except best
heifers, remained steady. Some
COWS ranged from Is to 25 cents
higher. Bulk of heifers held at
$3.50 to $3.50. Bulls cashed in at
$3.50 to $6.75. Receipts were so.
Trading was steady in the veal
market with hardly enough stock
on hand to test conditions. An odd
head held at $1150 down. Receipts
were so. The lamb market was
nominal. Few grades sold at SLIPS
down. Receipts numbered so.
