Crossing the Street

If this is true, then, why do
we have so many fatal accidents
in Washington?
My answer is because if the
pedestrian should religiously fol-
low the present traffic regula-
tions in the downtown streets
he would never get across; while
if the autoist followed the regu-
lationS there would be q tieup
on every corner of F Street be-
tween Fourteenth and Ninth
each morning before 8.
A pedestrian gets the green
light. Before stepping off the
curb he should wait for cars
making righthand curves. If he
does not he is apt to get killed.
so in this case he waits. He has
time to get about a third of the
way across when the light turns
and the cars come bearing down
on him. True there is a warn
ing caution signal, but that
rarely last over two seconds.
With these cars bearing down
on him the only safe place for
him to go is up, which is not
so practicable. So he winds his
way across the street danger
ously, barely missing death at
times (and sometimes not), in
the meantime tying up traffic
and exchanging vitriolic repair
tee with the drivers.
If the autoist waits for the
pedestrian to get safely across

Traffic Tangle

Probably there is no city in
the country where there is great
er conflict between the auto
ist and the pedestrian than right
here in Washington. The pedes-
trian believes, and says, that the
average autoist is a roadhog, a
reckless driver, and many un-
printable other things.
On the other hand the auto
ist says that the pedestrian is
a jaywalker, a "stupe," and more
unprintable things.
The fact is that many pedes-
trians are killed unnecessarily in
Washington and that nothing,
so far, has been done about it.
Nothing of consequence. at any
rate.
There are, of course, many
reckless drivers and an equal
number of careless pedestrians,
but it seems to me, after many
years Of observation, that the
average driver is not intention
ally reckless, and surely a pedes-
trian who carelessly courts death
is a moron, which I hope Is a
very small minority of our Wash
ingtonians.

Low INCOMES IN
BIG PROPORTION
OF POPULATION

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-The
October Survey of Business of the
A. F. of L. is the peak issue for year
of publication that never has a low
level. 1t is always good; but this is
SO much better than good that it is
hard to tell what to leave out.
The survey notes that recovery has
proceeded even at slackened pace in
spite of war scares, hurricanes, floods
and other adverse events; believes
that these things indicate an upswing
of business, and discusses this in care
full detail. But the high excellence of
the survey begins with its subtitle
"STARVATION INCOMES IN THE
WORLDS RICHEST NATIONo-- and
goes on with these paragraphs:
"The chart below shows that in
1856, after nearly three years of
business recovery, the large majority
of self-supporting American families
were receiving incomes far from ade-
quate to give them a health and eff
cheney living standard. THE CHART
INCLUDES NO FAMILIES ON RE-
LIEF.

Few Get Large Incomes

Few Get Large Incomes
NEARLY half of all American nom
relief families (429o) receive less than
$1,000 year; nearly four-fifths of our
families (79@o) live on incomes of less
than $4,000 a year. Only 8qo of
American families receive more than
$4,000 year; but they receive 1870 Of
the nations income; and $4,000
families receive more than $4,000,
with an average of $12,510
THE $50 OF OUR FAMILIES
WHO RECEIVE MORE THAN $4,000

The survey states that the 1887
drive for higher wages was the main
factor in adding $16O a year to the
earnings of the average factory
worker; but that this is not enough.
1T is clear that with nearly half our
families receiving less than 1000 in
l935-36 and four-fifths receiving less
than $4,000, a very large proportion
are without adequate food, clothing
housing or medical care
Labor Costs Cut

to the 1887 drive Of organized labor.
have lifted the hourly wage rate SO
that in July, 1887, it was 17qo above
1929. This gives the average en-
ployed worker a 1929 weekly wage if
ne works full 40-hour week: at to.
days part-time week, however, he
earns less than in 1929. The av-
erage weekly factory wage was s28. .55
IN 1929, and $23.92 in July, 1888.
! so great has been the increase Of
efficiency since 1929 that, although
hours are shorter and wages higher.
labor cost for each unit of product
turned out by our factories in Jnlv
1893, was SO less than in 1929.
