| long hours of work for bus and truck
drivers is supported in the strongest
possible way by recent tests made
by the National Institute of Health S
industrial hygiene division. Physi-
clans, after exhaustice tests, con-
cluded that tired driver is an un-
safe driver, which is exactly the po-
sition taken by labor.
The findings of the National Health
Institute, a subdivision of the Public
Health Service, that continuous driv-
ing ''measurably decreases the drivers
efficiency" and renders him dangerous
on the road have equal, if not more
significance for private drivers, it is
pointed out.
The experiments with nearly 900
bus and truck drivers in 1,200 test ses-
sions in Baltimore, Nashville and Chi
cago, are the first attempts to meas
ure accurately the mental and nervous
fatigue resulting from driving under
actual road conditions. While reac-
tions of drivers to fatigue tests varied
widely, it was determined that all
showed such a decrease in efficiency
that it indicated the desirability of
motorists limiting his hours OF
driving.
"a reasonable limit on the hours of
service" permitted trucks and bus
drivers (now 10 hours) would react
in the interest of highway safety" il
was declared.
The findings in every way back UP
the position on driving hours taken
by the international Brotherhood OF
Teamsters and other unions.

ment are most easily made the dupes
of foreign propagandists.
eve know actually, however, that
great majority Of our aliens desire
to become citizens; that many of them
have failed to do so simply through
procrastination or because they have
not known how to go about it. And
the overwhelming evidence is that they
make good citizens once they have be-
come naturaliZed.
"This new program of education
will remove the most serious obstacle
in the path of those who really desire
to become citizens. 1t will afford
them an opportunity not only to learn
our language and customs but also to
learn about the Constitution and our
democratic form of government, which
is necessary to meet the technical re-
quirements of the naturalization
courts. A knowledge of English, fur
thermore, will speed their social inte-
grafton and enable them better to earn
livelihood"

AN EMPLOYER TESTIFIES

Employers and union members ac-
customed to collective bargaining proc
esses know that ace-to-face meetings
at the conference table tend to dis
solve prejudices, make for apprecia-
tion of the other fellows point of
view and in general promote under
standing and friendliness.
With the advance of collective bar
banning, the value of face to face meet
ings is becoming more and more rec
ognized But many employers and
perhaps some labor men have been
slow to see this. One of the employers
who had to be shown was Frank L.
Andrews, president Of the Hotel As
sociation of New York Now Mr.. An
drews is convinced as witness his tes-
timony at the recent signing of new
agreement between the hotel associa-
tion and the New York Hotel Trades,
A. F. of L.
when we first sat down in nego-
tiations with the union," he said,
there was suspicion in our hearts
about each other, until the time when
we began to know each other better.
AS result for the first time, a large
part of the hotel industry became
unionized. The contract that was
signed turned to satisfactorily and
it's commitments were carried out by
both sides. The fact that we are ex-
tending the contract today denotes
satisfaction and confidence as between
employers and employees in the hotels
covered by the agreement"
What Mr.. Andrews said adds up to
the fact that conferences in good faith
between employers and union repre-
sentatives aid good feeling and indus
trial peace.

ALIENS CITIZENSHIP
TRAINING TO BE new
| W.P.A. WORK SETUP

Washington, d G. QLNS)-The
WPA will soon begin a greatly ex-
panded program of Americanization
instruction to facilitate the natural
ization Of aliens who want to become
citizens.
The new plan calls for the estab-
lishment of Americanization classes,
manned by specially trained teachers
from the WPA Adult Education Pro-
gram, in virtually every community in
which there are sizeable populations
of non-citiZens.
The plan is an expansion on great
ly magnified scale of a type of work
which has been carried on by the Adult
Education Program ever since the in
ception of WPA, it was pointed out by
WPA Administrator Hunter. Ameri-
caniZation classes in the past have
graduated" an average of approx
mately 10000 non-naturalized adults
each year who have successfully met
the citizenship requirements of the
naturalization courts. From this point
on, he said, Americanization will be-
come the largest single phase of the
Adult Education Program, employing
from a third to a half of it's teacher
personnel.
The alien registration conducted last
fall and winter revealed total of over
100000 non-naturalized persons
above the age of Ia living in the Unit
ed States and it's possessions, Hunter
said. Two-thirds of them had taken
no steps at that time to acquire citi-
zenship. More than Is per cent are
illiterate.
$50 large block of non-citizens
who, in theory at least, owe allegiance
to foreign countries, is potential
menace in time of national emer-
gency," Hunter declared. 'Those who
do not understand our language, our

Detailed information on the effects
of bombing of railroads in Great Brit
ain shows that apparently such bomb
ingn has not been as disastrous as
railroad and military men feared 1t
would be. The facts are of interest
to the million or more railroad work
are in the United States, who some
day may experience air attacks SIM
liar to those on Britain.
Despite the falling of thousands of
bombs on British railroad tracks in
the last year, trains continue to run
right through air raids and damage
to the tracks is usually repaired with
in three or four hours, say booklets
issued by the British railways and
just received in Washington by the
Association of American Railroads
Rarely does damage to a railroad line
or station dequire more than IL hours
to repair sufficiently to have trains
running again.
When intensive air attacks began
the British railroads restricted the
speed of trains to Is miles an houl
during air road "alerts." when ex.
perience showed that this was unnec-
essary as a safety precaution, speeds
were raised to 25 miles an hour dur
ing daylight raids and Is miles al
hour during night raids. Further ex
perience has resulted in raising the
speed limits to SO miles an hour il
daylight and 80 miles an hour during
blackout "alerts."
How the railroads deal with al
raids, however, is but one of the in
teresting aspects of wartime rail
roading in Britain described in tn
booklets. The necessity of complet
blackouts of yards and terminals a
night has concentrated the busines
of loading and unloading freight int
the daylight hours. To get the ut
most service out of their wagons

We read queer things in the papers.
Wheeler challenges the President,
for one thing.
Wheeler knows how to get himself
into print.
He challenges the President! Isn't
that rich.
He puts it right up to the Presi-
dent. Heap brave man.
Wants the President to ask Con-
gress to declare war, whereupon, if
Congress agrees, Wheeler will sup
port war.
One can almost get suspicious of
what Wheeler supports unless you
agree with him, as Lindbergh does.
Time was, way back, when Wheeler
first came to the Senate, rampaging
liberal, running around to ask labor
men what he could do-seeking la
boris front offices; then running with
the great Elder La Toilette on plat
form approved and backed by labor.
And all of that was right after the
other war, in such different days.
There came along with Wheeler a
group of others-Brookhar of Iowa,
the sharpshooter-and others. They
made up a rather brave band, with
| Magnus Johnson in the role of some
what heavy comedian.
But come there later days and the
portents of another war for us.
Bert Wheeler, as those are disposed
to be kindly to him call him-or is il
spelled Burt, with a u?-goes on for
ever, but in such different vein.
No barb is too sharp for Wheeler
to cast at the President; seemingly
no blast too mean to loose.
Somehow it almost seems as if q
fellow like Wheeler, with all the venom
he throws around, might feel like q
porcupine sleeping on his own quills!
There are other SMILES, but lei
it go at that.
He must, in the very nature Of
things, irritate himself, draw upon his
own juices, to exhaust and burn them
with his own heat, first having soured

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Blacked-out terminals add greatly
to the difficulty of switching opera
tions, or "shunting" as the British
call it, but much experimental work
has been done to screen from air view
the electrical lights, the glare from
locomotive fire boxes and the ground
glares used in the yards by "fogmen."
Systems of reduced lighting which
may be cut off at a moments notice
by one master switch have been in
stalled in many yards, as well as in
side the nearly 1000 passenger sta
tions in Britain.
Emergency wartime lighting which
does not show outside the carriage
windows has been installed in $4,000
passenger vehicles, also. All trains

cept that in the dining cars the lights
continue to burn dimly, under the con-
troll of trained employe at master
switch.
Signel lights along the way con-
tinue to burn, but they are effectively
hooded so that they are practically
invisible to enemy aircraft at the
heights they normally fly.
