HEAVY TRIBUTE
IN LIVES PAID
FOR LABOR DAY
Sharp Increase Over Those
Of Last Year Despite
Safety Appeal
OVER FOUR HUNDRED
DIE IN THREE DAYS
Over Three Hundred Twenty
Lose Lives in Highway
Tragedies


The nation paid heavy trtbuts
in lives for its three-day Labor day
week end.
Traffic fatalities showed a sharp
increase over last years holiday
toll despite President Roosevelt's
safety appeal and the National
Safety Councils warning that 500
probably would die on the high
ways.
A survey disclosed at least 436
persons were killed in accidents
during the three day period. That
figure included 1927 killed in high
way accidents and 100 deaths from
drowning, plane crashes and other
mishaps.
At the corresponding hour last
year, only 204 traffic deaths had
been reported. The 1s41 total was
expected to be swelled by later
reports and by additional deaths
resulting from holiday injuries.
California led all states in the
number Of violent deaths with 40,
including S5 in traffic accidents.
Illinois recorded a total of "a, New
York, AZ, Ohio %, Texas "a.
Pennsylvania, %. and Indiana 81.
Only New Hampshire, North Da-
kota, South Carolina, South Dakota
West Virginia and Wyoming re-
ported no deaths.
Midsummer weather favored
most OF the nation over the week
end and encouraged heavy holt
day travel.
