AFL Leader Asserts "Trnst
Busters" Are Hurting Labor

CINCINNATI, Ohio-Joseph Padway chief counsel ior
American Federation of Labor charged Wednesday that
trust busters" had invaded the rights of labor and he
pealed to Attorney General Frank Murphy to curb and
nossihy unpress activities of the antitrust department.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-10-05

Padway told the 5sth annual
ALL convention that Thurman
Arnold. assistant attorney gem
eral in charge of the antitrust
prosecutions. was a college profess
sor, and asked that God deliver
us from college professors and
army generals in administrative
positions"
Il believe the department Is on
the wrong path" Padwsy said
What is going on today is an in
vestigation into the building trades
unions. 1t is the intention OF the
division to bring forth indictments
at one particular time. to electrify
the country and make 1t believe
labor has done a great wrong"
He said union business agents
sometimes are afraid to negotiate
with an employer for labor con-
tracts because they fear any anti
trust action, which might be
brought against the employer,
might involve the agent as an ac-
cessory.
The AFL sponsored the Ma
tional Labor Relations act" he
said, land it is as strong for 1t
today as it ever was. II was dis
tasteful for the AFL to seek
amendment of that act, but this
was necessary, il we were TO pro-
tect the unions"

DANGER AT HOME

The danger of injury death in accidents the street highway has become fairly well impressed upon the average person But there are dangers just person beat home.
 The National Safety Councils 1889 statistical yearbook lists 940 GOO deaths from accidents in the ton last year at estimated cost of $500 900. Motor vehicle accidents accounted for 32 400 deaths and 1150000 injuries Accidents in the home, the other hand claimed 3150o lives and caused nonfatal injuries to about 465Oo0O persons, with permanent disability in 10000 instances
 The chief cause of fatal accidents in the home is fall, which last year caused nearly half of such deaths The statistics the prevalence of fatal falls n any part of a house: 29 percent occurring in the bedroom 26 percent in the yard the prem ises and l4 percent in the living room. separate survey in Cook County, Chicago, showed that of a years total of home accidents g percent occurred the kitchen (where 3t percent of the number of fatal burns are suffered) percent in inc living room ? percent each in the bedroom and on the porch and percent in the basement.
 Obviously carelessness can cause njurv death anywhere in the home easily and surely it can the street highway Loose treads a stair way are as much of menace to life and limb as a speeding motorcar So is the frayed insulation an electric lamp cord the clutteredup cellar steps, the rickety stepadder the footstool in the middle of a floor of a darkened room, and the scatter rug on highly polished hardwood floor. We should respect them as the dangers that they are.

ANCIENT MOUNDS <. OF STONE FOUND
 NORTH OF SITkA
Orderly Stone Heaps Await Opening by Smithson-
 ian Institute

Several ancient mounds of rocks laid up in orderly geometrical pat terms by Indians or other early iIl- habitants of Baranof Island, have been discovered at Cascade Creek on the new Halibut Point road out of Sitka, District Ranger w. A Chipperfield said today on his re- turn from Forest Service cruise in the district
 The mounds, having carefully laid walls on the outside and a less or derly heap of stones within, were found when eco workmen brought stones from them to be used in the road construction. The road passes within 20 feet of the unusual round- ed heaps of stone. On one of the mounds there remains the stump of an old tree said to have been cur by the Russians, so the mounds are believed to be very old.
 Word of their discovery has been sent to the Smithsonian Institute and they will not be disturbed until authorization comes from Washing ton. '
 Chipperfield and Robert Duck worth, Administrative Assistant, made a two weeks cruise, complete ly circumnavigating Chichagof and Baranof Islands. They returned to Juneau late yesterday afternoon on the launch Ranger. M
