TUESDAYS

Tuesdays were the most dan
gerOus days on roads in Mon
tana last month, State Highway
Patrol Supervisor Lou Boedeck-
er pointed out in urging drivers
to take their time and be care
full next Tuesday-the Fourth
of July. OF the nine car crash
deaths in May, three came on
Tuesdays.
The supervisor again stressed
the fact that excessive speed
causes more deaths on the
highways than any other one
factor. Last year there was not
a single highway death on the
Fourth, Boedecker said in ask
ing motorists for cooperation so
the record can be duplicated
this year.

Facts
About Agriculture

Tests carried on during the
last two years by the Montana
agricultural Experiment station
show that in its present state,
M:chelS grass is about equal to
ordinary winter rye under Mon
tana conditions. A new grass
that has received considerable
publicity, Michels grass is sup
posed to be a perennial with the
ability to stand grazing and to
produce a heavy yield of forage.
Trials however, show that under
Montana conditions Michels
grass plants in their present
state of selection are not peren-
NAL. Farmers, seed dealers and
others are cautioned not to
pay high prices for Michels
grass seed.

System, Slum Clearance, Better Highway Facilities

The 1889 city election campaign
had its official opening last night,
with John w. Ring, Socialist candi-
date for mayor, delivering a radio
address. The Socialists plan an ac-
tive campaign, seeking to get the
jump on the Republicans and Dem
ocrats, who have not yet nominated
their candidates.
Mr.. Ring last night explained the
Socialist platform. adopted earlier
in the week, and declared that So
cialist administration would bring
great benefits to the city. He cited
Bridgeport as city where Social
ist government has worked for the
welfare of the people.
Highway Benefits
He charged that previous city adj
ministrations had paid insufficient
attention to getting highway bene-
fits for Waterbury.
"We are almost on a straight
line from New York to Hartford"
Mr.. Ring said, land on to Bos-

Police Scrutinizing
Causes OF Accidents
General Public Usually Interested in Effects, States
Superintendent of Police Roach in Weekly Talk

Supt. of Police william J. Roach,
in his weekly safety statement, to-
day dwells on the eheme Of cause
and effect" as applied to automobile
accidents.
Accidents are all too often only
viewed from the effect angle; hardly
ever from the point Of view OF the
causes, the chief states.
But II accidents were viewed from
the position of knowledge and In
telligence, Supt. Roach goes on, they
would show a startling decrease.
Supt. Roach's statement follows:
Actual Causes
when we consider accidents, par
ticularly those in which automo-
biles are involved, we must face the
fact that we are dealing with eff
fects only. Except for the purpose
of fixing responsibility and deter
mining amounts of liability, 1t Is too
late to consider causes.
When we do consider causes what
are usually considered are only the
precipitating causes. Few of us who
have studied or read anything Of
European history will believe that
the assassination of an archduke
was the actual cause Of the World
War; that the shooting was merely
the precipitating agency, the causes
were in existence long before.
Speaking now of automobile ac-
cidents only, the proximate causes
of many of these are: faulty brakes,
drunkenness of drivers, physical de-

other nearby cities make up the

Merit System
Mr.. Ring promised a merit sys-
tenn in the city government, with
the executive secretary as person.
mel director.
The mayors secretary, as in the
past" said Mr.. Ring, will have a
lot to do with new appointments,
but his selections will be made, not
on the basis of how many voters
there are in the appointee's family,
but how qualified the appointee is
for the job. We will therefore have
a personnel director with no addi-
tional cost to the CITY,"
Sewage Disposal
He also discussed the party's
stand in regard to sewage disposal
and the Naugatuck river.
"Our program for cleaning up the
Naugatuck river is not merely so
that our citizens will not have to go
way over to the Pomperaug, the
Shepaug, or the Housatonic when
they want to go fishing. It has even
more important purposes. Water
bury has spent thousands Of dollars
in a partial development Of sewage
disposal facilities which are lying
practically idle and unused because
the necessary connections between
them and the city sewer system
have not been completed. By spend
ing some more money, we can gel
a benefit from the money we have
already spent in this field with 9
vast improvement in the sanitary
conditions of the city and also save
thousands of dollars annually that
the city now pays to q certain M
dustrial plant in the south part Of
the city under an old court order
against the city requiring it either
to clean up its pollution Of the river
or pay damages annually. We will
also try to stop. industries from al
lowing their refuse to find its way
into the streams running by their
plants.".
Housing Program
Mr.. Ring also advocated n sltlnl
clearance and housing program. He
announced that Frederic q. Smed-
ley, candidate for controller, woulc

Employees OF the Connecticut I'M
employment compensation depart
ment and the Connecticut state en-
pyloyment service attended train
ing meeting yesterday in Bridge
port. The training meeting Is one
of a series of such meetings which
are to be held in the future for the
purpose Of training each Of the en-
ployes as to their individual respon-
sibilities as well as the responsible
ties of the unemployment compensa-
ton division. The employees are also
being taught the philosophy and
growth Of social and labor legisla-
ton in European countries and the
United States.
Edward j. Ryan, assistant super
visor Of training and personnel In
the unemployment compensation di-
vision, was one of the principal
speakers at today'S session.
Among Foremost
Ryan asserted that Connecticut to-
day ranks with the foremost states
in the country In the adoption Of
progressive labor legislation. The last
session of the Connecticut General
Assembly passed more favorable la
Dor legislation than any other ses-
sion, declared Ryan.
Ryan said In part:
"The state Of Connecticut has
made remarkable progress in the
adoption Of legislation beneficial to
the working man and woman. To-
da yConnecticut rates with the fore
most states In this country In adopt
ing liberal progressive labor legis-
lation.
Perhaps one of the most impor-
tant labor acts passed by q Con-
necticut legislature was the work
mans compensation act. That act
was drafted and sponsored by Labor
Commissioner Cornelius j. Danaher
who has for many years been recog-
nized as the best friend Of labor In
Connecticut.
There Is no attempt In Con-
necticut to favor industry over Ia
Dor, or labor over industry. 1t Is a
well established fact that here IN
this state that labor and industry
need each other. Without one the
other cannot survive. Thus 1t Is that
there Is an honest, sincere effort In
Connecticut to unite the two, so to
speak. An attempt to bring labor
and industry closer together"
New Industry Invited
NEW industry Is being invited to
locate here ir. Connecticut. When
new industry does locate In Con-
necticut 1T will naturally mean
greater employment, greater buying
power, greater opportunities for our
people. New industry can feel con-
fldent that in electing Connecticut
an excellent choice has been made"
Connecticut makes an ideal site
for new industry. 1t has skilled help,
to run the new industries. There
are excellent shipping facilities and
new industries will find Connecticut
q friendly, cooperative state.
Progressive labor legislation was
not easily adopted In this state, In
fact II took many years Of constant
effort to arouse the public to de-
mand action against sweatshops
which had invaded Connecticut from
the state Of New York"
I'm 1925 New York reduced the
working hours for women In fac
tories with the result that sweat
shop which were penalized under
