Christmas Hazards

Much has been said ana written
about accidents on the highways,
but not enough. especially just now,
about other kinds OF hazards ol The
Christmas season. These can de-
stroy human life and property,
however. the same as automobile
miSnapS.
Seldom do fireworks cause iatali-
ties in these parts, out minor injuries
from these explosives are nothing
unusual. Many Of them occur that
are rarely. il ever. heard OF, yet
they can DE avoided oy careful hand
ling OF by no handling at all Thus
far there has seemed to DE less than
usual OF this nuisance this season,
but the holiday period Is young yet,
and we shall all probably be duly
>erenaded. to our likes or dislikes,
before Christmas and New Years
eye are gone.
There WAS the time when Christ
mas trees were the source OF de
structive fires. Those were the days
when trees were lighted indoors by
candles and before electric bulbs
became 50 popular and also so very
much more beautiful. But even
electricity MS its hazards, in that
faulty wiring might easily produce
a short circiiit and start d fire. 1t
is highly advisable for this reason,
10 make sure Of installations and
connections so that every possible
safeguard and precaution may be
exercised.
But our old weakness, the auto
mobile. continues at the hei,o of the
list in its Wreckage of human bodies
and lives Often it seems futile to
bear down on this subject, but there
is no other way to get the word across
if educati,n is to be the medium of
cutting down accidents and fatali-
ties.
AS happy d time as it should be
and is 10 most people, Christmas
brings its dangers, and those who
would get the most out of the occa,
sion will be ever on the alert against
wrecks. fires and fireworks. Care,
lesSneSs in this respect may easily
result N property loss and injuries
and even deaths, that will be regret
ted later.

Court Upholds Union Limitation
OF Rights Of Negro Rail Workers

WASHlNGTON-(A \ P) -Presi-
dent Rooseyelts "streamlne" sup
rene court struck vital blow
against Negro railroad labor here
Monday when II ruled that labor
unions had a right TO the limita-
tons Of the rights OF Negro mem
bers.
The ruling was made In an en-
ployes' representation dispute be-
tween the American Federation OF
Labors Brotherhood OF Railway
Carmen and the Independent Ma
tional Federation OF Railway Work
ers.
In June. 1857 "A contest Develop
ed between the two unions when
each sought 10 represent coach
cleaners for the purpose OF collec-
tive bargaining. The brotherhood
was certified as the bargaining
agent after an election was held
by the National Mediation Board.
In challenging the boards ruling
the National Federation OF Railway
Workers cited the fifth and l4th
Amendments OF the constitution.
In its ruling. the court held that
since the fifth amendment relates
solely TO state action, and the 18th
to federal action. the brotherhood
could limit the rights OF new menu
bers without offending their guaran-
tees under the Constitution.
