COMMITTEES TO AID
TRAFFIC ARE ASKED
Organizations Urged by Gen. Cox
to Set Up Groups to Help
Campaign.

Formation of traffic committees in
neighborhood and civic organizations
as a method of aiding traffic con-
ditions has been suggested by Brig.
Gen. Albert L. Cox, chairman of the
Advisory Committee on Traffic Safety,
IN letter to the District Commits
sioners.
Pointing out that. although many
larger organizations have traffic COM
mittees, hundreds Of smaller groups
nave not, Gen. Cox suggested the
Commissioners request the neighbor-
hood and civic associations to desip-
nate committees.
Gen. Cox said 4 reduction in the
number Of traf1ic accidents in the
city could be expected If local citizens
could be made to realize that each
has a responsibility with regard to
traffic safety"
He suggested the utilization of some
central organization, such as a safety
council, to act as clearing house,
as has been done in other cities. Un-
der this plan the various committees
would make monthly reports and rec
concentrations to the central Rroup.
Gen. Cox expressed the belief that
through wide distribution of interest
and knowledge of traffic conditions
and enforcement. the local traffic situ-
alton could be improved considerably.

TRUCKERS STRIKE
THREATENS JERSEY
'0utlaws' Reject Proposal
for Truce in Fight for
40-Hour Week.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-Rejecting a
proposal by city officials for a three
day truce. leaders of an outlaw
truckers strike threatened to extend 1t
to New Jersey today unless their de-
mand for 40hour week is met
quickly.
Acting Mayor Newbold Morris called
a conference of the strike leaders
union officials who have refused to au-
thorize the walkout and representa-
tives Of the two truck operators asso-
Citations.
Although a conference yesterday
proved futile, Morris said he expected
an agreement soon. The strike has
tied up an estimated IS per cent of
the city's motor haulage since last
Thursday.
Of1cials of the International Broth
erhood of Teamsters. who heard 1000
wildcat" strikers at a meeting last
night shout down the acting MAYOR :
proposal for truce pending negotia-
tions, were less optimistic.
Abe Klein, rank-and- file leader of
the strikers. said he had received prom
ise Of support from the National Mari
time Union and had been assured by
Jersey City teamsters that they would
join the strikers.
In Newark, however, Leo P. Carlir
president Of Local 478 of the Team
sters' Union. said 200 members at a
stormy meeting last night had voted
not to cooperate by stopping trucks in
New Jersey.

STEEL PRICE CUT
FOR RAIL ORDERS
Carnegie Illinois Company
SIashes Figure From
81 to SIS Per Ton.

Bv tie Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 20.-Big steel
bid today for more business from its
one-time best customer, the railroads,
by reducing prices Of rails and access
sories from 81 to IS a ton.
In announcing the cut, the Car
negie-1llinois Steel Corp. largest unit
of the giant U. s. Steel, also con-
firined all other prices for fourth
quarter delivery.
Other producers are expected to
step quickly into line with the price
list and relieve some uncertainty
which had developed due to the more
than two weeks delay in the usual
time for fixing final period quota
tions.
Coming as it did with employment,
production and pay roll levels slowly
increasing in the industry. the move
was viewed here as stabilizing both
wages and prices.
Cut Came Over Protest.
The slash in track equipment QUO
tations came despite the cry of opera
tors that they have improved the quail
ity of rails at such cost in mill equip
ment and production they could not
afford to sell for less.
Railroads have always stood first,
second or third in consumption of
steel, but in the past decade usually
have been third, with the automotive
and building industries ahead.
The steel industry is reasoning that
despite the financial crisis facing the
roads, they will have to find the money
next year to replace much of their
rails, whose average life is between
seven and eight years-one year on
such stretches as the famed Horseshoe
Curve in Pennsylvania near Altoona.
In the past five years the railroads
have purchased IL, 1896, 900 tons of steel,
compared with 2l,l00,00O in the pre-
ceding five years, when the depression
already had caused them to cut their
budgets.
Purchases Fall OF.
An indication of the individual buy
ing of roads may be seen in the COM
parsons of New York Central, which
took 202, POP tons in 1929 and 1890
last year. and Pennsylvania, which
bought 10000 tons in 1929 and
hasn't purchased since it bought l0O,-
600 tons in the fall of 1896.
Railroad buying normally does not
start until later in the year, with de-
liveries spread through the summer.
The price fixture will make it possi-
ble for the roads to estimate better
for their budgets.
The most important rail cut was in
standard 'T' rails, ranging from 80
to $50 pounds per yard, No. quality.
The new price, $40, down $3.50, is
freight on board cars at mills either in
Bessemer. Pa, or Gary. Ind Prior
to 1882 the price was s43 a ton. On
October 20, 1882, they were cut to $40
and on November 9, 1888, reduced to
S36.375 at the Governments demand,
On December l. 1896, they were
jumped to $39 and in March, 1887.
placed at S42 so soon after a boost in
wages was granted.

graft in federal insurance. The in
surance covers 80 per cent Of the cost
as estimated with prevailing wages
and standard materials. Then these
contractors cut the very throat Of
wage scales, partly by the ill-famed
"kick back" and use sub-standard
materials. The result is said to be
that the actual cost is less than so
per cent of the estimated cost; and
the contractor swallows this gravy.
Again, there is wide difference Of
opinion as to the amount Of housing
which will be fostered by the new
bill within year, and consequent
differences as to the number of men
it will put to work, directly and in
directly.

Bill Step in Advance

What may be called the official
estimate Of housing champions is
that the bill will cause prompt con-
struction of 100000 dwelling units,
giving unemployment to about 350,
600 workers. On the other hand, just
as vigorous friends Of the housing
measure doubt whether it will bring
the construction Of $4,000 dwelling
units within the year, with a COM
parative re-employment.
What all agree on is that the bill
represents another step forward on
the housing question, whether il
the housing question, whether that
step be short or long; and that the
need of further progress in that line
is nothing less than terrific. Resi-
Dental building in 1896 amounted tc
only 20 per cent Of that Of the peak
year, 1925. Employment in the con
struction industry in October, 1887
was 100000 behind that in October
1929; and still farther, of course, be
hind that of 1926.
