A Heavy Responsibility

Paul H. Nystrom. Professor of
Marketing, Columbia University. in
recent address before the Boston
Conference on Distribution, cOmpre-
hensively surveyed the deep-seated
causes of current labor troubles.
"It is impossible" he said, "for
this country to go on indefinitely
losing from three to five million
man-days of labor per month, due to
strikes. as we have been doing dur
ing the past few months, without
serious harm, not only 20 the strik-
ers themselves but also TO business
and to the nation at large"
Business and industry. as Mr..
Nystrom pointed out, are favorably
disposed toward the principle Of col
lective bargaining. but fear the evils
that have attached themselves TO the
collective bargaining movement. In
ternecine strife within the ranks Of
labor itself. unauthorized strikes, an
avalanche of petty grievances and
red tape, are a few of the things
that have made arrangements move
cautiously in the signing of collec-
tive bargaining agreements. Often
employers are forced to contribute !
SC much of their time In solving la
Dor difficulties that there is little op- [
left to get new business, or
earn enough money to pay taxes and /
meet payrolls.
Collective bargaining is an estab-
lished American institution. 1t gives
lsbor tremendous power over the
welfare Of the entire nation, a pow
err which, as Mr.. Lystrom observes,
II wisely used can build a better
world, but IL misdirccted can lead to
destruction.

Speed---The Great Killer

During recent years a number OF
states have adopted the basic rule"
speed law a measure whereby no
fixed maximum highway speed is
prescribed, but drivers are required
to operate their vehicles with due
care. Today in many of those states
motor vehicle officials are coming to
the view that the basic rule has fail
ed, and that fixed speed law, rigid
Iy enforced, is necessary to the pre-
vention of accidents. The national
organization which studied highway
legislation and first advocated the
basic rule, has now changed its
position, and urges fixed speed lin
its.
So the motorist has failed in his
responsibility under a law which
gave the individual wide leeway in
his driving habits. Speed is still the
great highway killer. breeding more
violent deaths than any otner driv-
ing error. It is harsh commentary
on drivers that the bulk of fatal au-
tomobile accidents occur on first
class, straight highways. under good
weather and visibility condition, and
involve cars in passable mechanical
condition. Speed-the insane instinct
to "open her UPS the answer.
1t is apparent that the automobile
death and injury rate will continue
to climb until all states cooperate to
their traffic codes in the
light of modern conditions. Appeals
TO the motorists instincts of self
and public responsible
Ity, have produced some results
but much more must be done. Speeds
must be reduced. And the offending
iriver must be punished under laws
enforced without fear or favoritism.

EASTERN SHORE In
GRIP OF WINTER STORM

Snow, ice and chill winds swept the
lower Eastern Shore this week. Resi-
dents of the city awoke Thursday
morning to find the ground, trees and
shrubbery coated with snow. Due to
slightly rising temperature this quick
ly melted in the streets but remained
on lawns and on shrubbery.
In the northern part of the Shore
the storm was more severe bringing
heavy SHOWS and accompanied by a
cold wave and considerable ice. In
Crisfield a high tide overlooked the
lower business section and the water
froze before it could recede leaving
the ice an inch or two deep in some
sections of the city.

Irene was searching for something

Irene felt that she was going to

that she was too angry to cry. There
was small footstool in front of one
Of the chairs in the drawing room
She kicked it so hard that she hurt
her toe. She said, ouch"
She sat down, then, and lived for
while with her rage. Finally she
