STR|CTER TAXI
LAW BACKED

High District officials today
threw their support behind a bill
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Charles o. Andrews Cd.
Florida, aimed at prohibiting per
sons employed in the Government
from operating taxicabs.
Advocating passage of the bill,
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
wrote to the chairmen of both the
House and Senate District Com.
mittees that "sundowners" should
be kept out of the field of taxicab
and other vehicles-for-hire opera
ton. He stated:
'It is believed that injury is
done to the fuIl-time driver when
employees of the Government or
of private business are permitted
to encrOach upon the field Of
those who make common carrier
operation their full-time under.
taking, especially when the en-
crOachment comes, as it usually
does, during the part of the day
when the taxicab business is
at its best"
Richmond B. Keech, vice chair
man of the Public Utilities COM
mission, also favored the bill, de-
claring the commission believed
taxi driving should be full-tirne
business. Corporation Counsel e.
wood Seal also declared in favor
of the bill, which would provide a

officials refused to comment Of
ficially without a study of the
Ramspeck bill wnen it is finally
reported, it was indicated the com
mission stand is unchanged.
MitcheII's Views
In February, President Harry
Mitchell told the committee:
81 believe that few of those
now in positions not covered by
Civil Service would retain their
Jobs IL competitive examinations
were compelled. We would have
to give nationwide examina-
tiOns, and while those now hold.
ing the jobs probably would
make passing grades, they may
not make the highest grade, and
we are compelled to take only
those making the highest marks.
Roughly, should estimate
that about IS per cent of those
how holding the jobs would pass
competitive examinations, while
80 or IS per cent would pass non.
competitive examinations"
Charles I. Stengle, president Of
the American Federation of Gov
Employees, said today
that the informal report of the
House group is what we used to
call a trial balloon when was
in Congress-" and said he wished
to see the reported bill before max

Displays 3 Wolves
 And An Eagle

Although several parties of deer ! hunters were unsuccessful in bag ging trophies over the week end, three wolves and a young eagle are being displayed at the Ton gass Trading Company store at Ketchikan. says a recent issue of the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 The wolves were taken recently by Peter A. Miller while hunting at Polk Inlet. They will bring him at least two prizes in the an- nual contest sponsored by the local store.
 The eagle, shot by Thomas Lar son at Behm canal, is the second displayed in the contest this sea- son.
 MT. Miller explained that he was hunting for deer near the top of a mountain above Polk Inlet when he saw a family of four wolves. He said that the animals were in the open country. He shot two from a distance of near ly 200 yards. he said, and a few minutes later killed the third bad wolf.
 He dragged the animals part way down that night and the next day he and his wife brought them down to his boat.
 Boat Motor Fails
 Mrs. Miller went out to find her husband after he was several days overdue in ketchikan. He had left ten days earlier 10 do some work on his floating trap, but had stayed longer than he anticipated. However, he said, 'l wasn't lost at any time"
 When they were ready to re- turn to Ketchikan, the motor in their boat, the Mabel M, failed to start and they were lowed to Skowl arm cannery by John Pet er's boat, the Tyke. The Cyane went out to Skowl arm to tow the Mabel M back here.

Leaders of Rail Union Meet
To Plan Drive for More Pay

cials and representative of the five
railroad transportation brotherhoods
met here to lay plans for demanding
an increase of wages. The unions are
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen

way Trainmen, Order of Railroad
Conductors, and the Switchmen's IN
ion of North America.
David B. Robertson, president of
the fremen, and union official Of
long and generally successful expe-
rience, said that the question of in
creased wages was the only one con-
sidered. The transportation workers
are paid on complex mileage and
hourly basis; and the thirty y-four week,
which some other rail unions are tax
ing up, does not interest the train
service workers to any large extent.
The last basic wage increase for
railroad workers was made in 1927.
In 1882, they had to take a 10 per
cent cut, gradually restored in 1884

THOMAS P. KEARNS
MAKES REPORT

A sharp decline in both accident fre-
quency and severity in Ohio industry
in November, is shown in the monthly
report issued by Supt. Thos. P. Kearns
of the division of safety and hygiene.
The 73 fatalities in the month is
seven less than in October, and the
1885 claims filed is 1887 less than
for the preceding month. This reduc-
tion is reflected in the time loss due
to accidents, the 659,516 days charged
being 1894 under the October record.
One puzzling feature of the months S
record is the heavy decline in both
the number and severity of accidents
among commercial and public en-
ployes. Despite the fact that CONNER
cial employment was near its peak
in November, the record of the group
is the best for any month in recent
years. Reports for December and
January will indicate whether these
gains represent actual reduction in
accidents or delays in the filing Of
claims.
