SAFE DRIVING
From Baltimore & Ohio Magazine)

(From Baltimore & Ohio Magazine)
THE Railway Express Agency gives us good
example of the possibility Of safe driving. At
the close of 1889, $500 of their vehiclemen had
operated trucks over period of five successive
years without an accident. About 5000 others
have had perfect safety records for one two and
three years. Some have been driving from the
days of the first trucks as long ago thirty five
years, without having had a single accident
charged against them.
In publishing this information the Agency
points out the special traffic difficulties under
(which their drivers work Most of them are in the
big Cities and the bulk of their deliveries and pick
ups are made during the busiest parts of the day
when the streets are most congested.
Safetyawork is well organized in the Express
IAgency Drivers form their own committees and
take great pride in the records tf,sy make A=
lnicpal authorities have co-operated with them in
many ways, and will have representatives present
when the safe-drivng merit cards are awarded by
the Express executives.

ACTIVE INTEREST URGED

WILLIAM GREEN recently pointed out some
thing that union members sometimes forget.
Columnist Westbrook Pegler on the American
Federation of Labor President Green said:
'If members of union are Indifferent, then the
union may naturally fail to be responsive to their
needs. But if the members of union take an
active part in its affairs, they should then they
can run their own organization as the majority
wishes. The same principle holds true of govern
,nent in our cities, states, and nation"

In announcing these new studies,

SAYING 1T PLAINLY
(FrOm Editor and PubliSher)

EFFECTS of the past few years thinking on the
- public relations of important corporations has
become increasingly evident in their annual reports
to stockholders. We have about dozen or so on
our desk, and at least 10 of them represent a
marked departure from hallowed practice - they
are in plain English and they make clear the i'm
have had any part in their composition, it must
have been in collaboration with people who know
the language that is used in daily conversation and
in popular print.
That is all to the good. We can think of nothing
more conducive to careful management than a GUS
tom which requires an annual accounting in words
that are designed to tell truth and not to conceal
monkey business. And we can think Of no better
way of dispensing the clouds of public dstrust
than by telling in plain words the truth about a
job well done.

BUILDING PERMIT VALUES UP

Washington, D. C. 0LNS)-An in
crease of 27 per cent over February
in permit valuations for new residen-
tial building construction featured
March construction reports, Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins reported.
Somewhat lower gains were regis
tered for other types of construction,
she said. "New nonresidential con-
struction showed a gain of Ia per cent,
while the value of additions, altera-
tions, and repairs increased by 8 per
cent. Total building construction was
81 per cent higher than during Febru-
ary."

FOREST SERVICE AIDS 1000, 600

washington, D. C.-Nearly 4,0UO,000
persons, including workers and their
families derived all or part of their
support in 1889 from employment in

vesting timber purchased from and un-
der regulations of the Forest Service,

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

A vivid picture of the cruel devas-
tation wrought by Russian bombing
planes is given in the interim report
of the British labor delegation which
visited Finland in the closing days of
the war between the Firms and Dicta-
tor Stalin's Communist hordes.
The report shows that brave little
Finland is still much in need of aid
from the outside world and disposes of
some choice lies spread by the Com
munists in regard to Finland's govern
ment.
Even the Communists, with all their
ability at lying and insinuation, will
find it impossible to disparage the re-
port, coming as it does from men of
the highest standing in the economic,
political and cooperative fields of the
British labor movement. The report
is published by the National Council
of Labor, London.
"By far the greater part of the de-
vastation which we saw consisted in
the destruction of the homes Of the
working-class.
GAS rule these were burnt to the
ground, leaving the chimney stacks OF
the houses still standing.
"In some places we saw entire
streets which had been so destroyed.
"Many places have been rendered
virtually uninhabitable by air bonn
bardments."
These sentences from the report in
dicate the tragic extent of the prob
lem which the Firms have to face in
reconstructing their shattered country
The delegation consisted of Si1
Walter Citrine, general secretary OF
the Trades Union Congress, Philip
Noel-Baker, M. P, member of the
executive committee of the Labor
Party, and John Downie, Cooperative
Union.
The delegation investigated not only
the war situation, but also the politi-
cal situation and industrial, social and
economic conditions in Finland.
Of the political situation the delega-
tion says: "Our investigation proved
conclusively that the people of Finland
enjoy freedom of speech and extensive
democratic liberties.
"It is utterly untrue to say that any
thing in the nature of dictatorship
exists at the present time in Finland. y
In their review of social conditions
the delegation records the various
measures taken by the Finnish govern
ment to restrict the working-day, to
limit overtime, and to protect women
and children in industry.
Legislation provides extensive pro-
lection against labor risks, while there
is state scheme Of old age and dis
! aahn}leeinent insurance. A.-...~..-->-
Latest reports indicate that there is
grave peril Of disease breaking out
among the 100000 children made
homeless by aerial bombardment anc
by emigration from the territory cedec
to the soviets. Adequate food anc
shelter is urgently needed for these
victims Of "totalitarian war;"

"There is reason to believe that pub
lie opinion is becoming more awakened
to the seriousness of the problem Of
protecting civil liberty. This public
concern has been heightened by the
possible imminence of war. People in
creasingly realize that civil liberties
were sacrificed during the World Wal
and that that sacrifice was a nationa
calamity" - From Safeguarding Ou1
Civil Liberties, published by Publ,
Affairs Committee, New York.

FREEDOM TO CRITICIZE VITAL

ORGANIZED labor knows that the American
press is not all it should be. Most newspaper
men are also aware of the fact.
The press is often unfair, just individuals are
often unfair.
But it's a mighty good thing that the press is
free to criticize, unfairly or fairly.
If it was not freedom in America would soon
vanish.

Comic opera, with sadistic hate at
the heart of it
One accordion, plus little German
band
Caught, and held, Norway's atten-

Diverted statesmen's minds while
Nazis marched
Hypnotized city, while riveting it's
No Wagnerian classic strains
SCARED over Osla's fjords that day
No symphonies charmed the ears of
watching maidens-
Or moved the itching feet of Nor
ways youth to dancing
Caught on the hooks of a simple
melody
Swung high above grim realities of
their nations plight
These sons and daughters of Viking
blood
Had not thought of war for so many
centuries
Their blood ran slow, and cold and
peaceful
Responding most easily to the tune

Lifting little melody of. German
carousers-
"Roll out the Barrel"-

Main circus down in France, along

Where they have real cages, and
biggest barkers-
Norway thought it was outside the
grounds
Wouldn't take part in such squab-
BILE, for anything
Peaceful descendants of great Morse
raiders
They seemed bit ashamed of those
brawling ancestors of the sea-
Who had left traces of their blond
caresses-
In every port of Europe, north and
south
These younger folk, concerned now
in trade
Famous in science and mechanics
From their high pedestal giving
Nobel prizes
To stimulate the arts and sciences

They were fourth in rank of all
earth's nations
In merchant marine; but had no
navy worth the name

In that cold cline
1t must be that wit moves slowly
These Norwegians always had some
pride
But there never has been a great
Norwegian boxer
Are they too slow in the movements
Of their brain
They make great farmers, woods
men, even bankers
Authors of worldwide note they
have, as we'll
But Oslo, their greatest city
Was captured with accordions!
Some few sly tricks, sufficed to sill
ence all their cannon
They can make guns; but seem to
have no slightest notion
Of how guns may be used to save
or ruin-the dignity of nation
X X X
Norwegians didn't want to fight
They did not prepare to fight, be-
cause they didn't want to
Peaceful now at heart, most admir-
able
They really believed in peace
Their country was beautiful, and
large enough for them
They thought that it "takes two to
make fight
Until up Oslo's streets that little
German band
Played: "Roll the Barrel out!"

Tuesday morning the Shubert
lawyers got busy. They proposed to
keep The Constant Sinner open
through a court injunction. With
Manager L. Stoddard Taylor, they
went to the Carlton Hotel to discuss
the matter with Miss West.
THE actress door was locked and
all the pleadings of lawyers and
manager could not induce her to
open it. Through the transom she
shouted she would have nothing
whatever to do with play operating
under the protection of an injunc-
ton. She also reminded the LAWYERS
that she had served 80 days at Black
wells Island for giving play in New
York that was held Objectionable,

such performers as Eugene Cowles,
Joseph Cawthorne, the old come
dian; Johnny Slavin, who knocked
down John McGraw of the Giants;
Joseph Herbert, no relation to Vic
tor, and Josephine Bartlette, the
original Dame Durdin in Robin
Hood. ."'"
When you talk about the old
BelaSco Theater you must always
remember Estelle Wentworth, one
of the greatest singers ever de-
veloped in Washington. Sergt. Har-
rington was a personal friend of
her late husband, Albert Parr, who
was one of the greatest singers ever
developed on the American stage.
His singing of Robin Hood" will
never be forgotten by the old-timers.
Miss Wentworth appeared with De
Wolf Hopper at the old Belasco in
"Happyland." In this same show
was little Marguerite Clark, who
afterward became a great moving
picture star in the silent days.
Old Stock Season.
Along about Easter of each year
the road shows stopped coming in
and Washington enjoyed the old
Lafayette Stock Co. In this COM
pany appeared such favorites as
John T. Sullivan, Eugene Ormonde
John DAILY Murphy and a young ac-
|. tress by the name of Antoinette
Walker, who afterward made a tre-
mendous hit in David Belasco's ia
nous show, 'The Warrens of Vir-
ginia." The star of this show was
the late Frank keenan,.
Are you telling me about the old
Belasco?" asked the ghost of an old
star.
And then he answered, through
the voice of Andy Kelley, the old
dramatic editor:

her a check for that amount. To
his surprise. Miss Bayes refused to
take a check. 1t had to be cash
cash or no Saturday afternoon or
evening performance. 1t was written
right into her contract. Mr.. La
Motto looked it up and found the
singer was within her rights. So
Andy Kelley, the old dramatic critic,
was sent in quest of $4,000 in cash.
On Saturday afternoon all the banks
were closed, but Gus Buchholz, pro-
prietor of the Occidental Hotel,
usually kept supply of currency in
his Office safe. He was an accom-
modating fellow and before the
matinee performance Miss Bayes got
her salary, in hundred-dollar bills.
