8-HOUR LIMIT FOR WOMEN IN FACTORIES SET Bill Introduced in House Also Would Bar Work Between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. OLD AGE PENSION ASKED Working hours for women in manufacturing industries in Indiana would be limited to eight hours and no ■woman would be permitted to work in any factory between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. by the terms of a hill introduced in the House of Representatives late Monday by Representative David N. Curry, Democrat, Sullivan County. Violation of any of the pro visions of the act would subject the violator to a fine of not less than $25 nor more than SIOO. Enforcement would be placed in the bands of the Indiana industrial board. Complete regulation of women in industry wonld be effected. Persons of the age of 65 and more wonld receive pensions amounting to *4OO a year from the State, providing they lived np to certain requirements, under a bill Introduced by Representative George H. James, Clay County. At the death of the aged person, *IOO would be paid for burial expenses. To come under the provisions of the pension it would be necessary for a person to have lived In the State for twenty years, but the fact that his business or travels took him out of the State for any definite period during the twenty years would not render him ineligible. ISDCSTBJit BOARD PENSION COM MISS lON. The Industrial board of Indiana wonld constitute the “old age pension commission" and would be responsible for enforcement of the set The bill was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee. The administration bill providing for transfer of the buildings of the State Fair Association and making the State board of agrictulture a State Institution was introduced in the House Monday by Representative Murray Barker of Boone County.

The board of agriculture would consist of sixteen members, thirteen selected from each of the congressional districts and the other three, not more than two of whom would be of the same political faith, appointed by the Governor. The first members would be the members of the State board of agriculture as constituted Jan. 10, 1921. The terms of eight of the members appointed would expire on the last day of the annual conference of 1922 and the other eight members’ terms would expire on the last day of the annual conference of 1923.

Were You Ever In a Coal Mine? Five Minutes For five Days Will Give You The Information You Want Wc want to talk to you for five minutes in this space each day for five days. TYe are going to give you “gospel facts” about the business of coal mining and let you make your own deductions—reach your own conclusions. We know you are interested because coal is the all important basic factor that enters into the cost of everything you buy, whether necessity or luxury. A goodly number of well-meaning but badly misinformed people sacrificed a large portion of 1920 talking coal production, coal distribution and coal costs. Do You Remember How It All Started? (1) The miners’ strike from November 1 to December 12,1919, with industries and railroads running all the while full steam ahead, depleted coal stocks. (2) Traffic on railroads continued in record-breaking volume, which, coupled with the unscrambling of the roads from government control to private ownership created an acute car shortage and held the mines down to fifty per cent running time. (3) Then came the outlaw switchmen’s strike which practically paralyzed transportation. (4) Not to be outdone, the day men employed in and around the coal mines staged an outlaw strike and forced wage concessions in excess of the Bituminous Coal Commissions’ award. With all these factors retarding coal production and industry going ahead full blast, is it any wonder that fear of the dire results of a coal shortage found almost universal expression ? The public clamored for Federal control of coal and the re-establishment of the Fuel Administration. This manifestation by the people proved a costly blunder. * And Why? Every manufacturing plant likely to be classified as a non-essential in the event Federal control became a reality took time by the forelock, bid undreamed of prices for spot coal, stocked lip for months ahead, which upset well-ordered distribution. Thus the agitation inaugurated to bring relief and equalize as nearly as possible coal deliveries to all elements had the direct opposite effeet. During This Period It Was Useless To Explain. Operating companies whose outputs were fully contracted, in many instances companies unable to secure sufficient car supply to fill contracts, companies that did not even mine or market domestic coal, were denounced, vilified and threatened with all sorts of prosecution if they failed to meet the popular demand and turn their outputs into unknown domestic channels. Patiently the Knox County Coal Operators’ Association endured the criticism directed at the coal industry as a whole. We knew that the time would come when cellars would he bulging with coal, when retailers would he canceling orders, ear supply would exceed demand and mines would he down for lack of orders. Six Weeks Have Passed Since We Arrived At This State. Now that everyone is stocked and over stocked and the railway managements are at their wit’s end to find storage sidings for idle coal cars, with industry limping along and everybody possessed of time a-plenty to reason, the Knox County Coal Operators’ Association is going to take the public into its confidence and reveal the inside facts about coal. Every phase of the business of mining and marketing coal, wage scales, railroad rates, contracts, distribution, costs and realization will be detailed in such a manner as will enable all to understand.

Illinois Central Directs Attention to the Grade Crossing Problem For the four-year period ended December 31, 1920, there were 4,350 persons killed and 12,750 persons injured in automobile grade crossing accidents in the United States. For the same period there were 158 persons killed and 659 persons injured in automobile grade crossing accidents on the Illinois Central System. Analysis of these cases shows that crossings considered the safest are actually the most dangerous. A serious automobile grade crossing accident, involving personal injury or loss of life, is usually followed by a dea-iaid upon the railway for the elimination or “protection” of the crossing involved. Crossing gates do not entirely eliminate accidents. People become educated to rely upon the gateman instead of upon their own faculties. If the gateman errs, the danger of accident is very great. Electric warning bells do not entirely eliminate accidents. If they ring a great deal, automobilists disregard them. In addition, there is always the possibility that a bell may not bo in order just at the moment of greatest danger. Crossing flagmen are not infallible. The human element enters into most accidents, and crossing flagmen are like other human beings. Some of the most disastrous automobile grade crushing accidents have occurred at crossings where flagmen were on duty. One of the results of crossing “protection” is to teach the public that crossings are safe. The opposite should be taught. All railway grade crossings are dangerous—the “protected” as well as the unprotected crossings. This should be impressed upon the minds of everybody, beginning with the ch : ldren in the schools. There are about 8,000 grade crossings on the Illinois Central System. It would cost approximately four hundred million dollars, or substantially more than the combined stock and bond issues of the company, to eliminate them by separation of the grades. The following is quoted from the report made by the Grade Crossing Committee of the National Association of Railway and Utilities Commissioner? at ’Washington in November, 1920 : “To eliminate all grade crossings in the United States would probably cost as much as all the railroads in the United States have cost.” Outstanding features of this question are: I—lnability of the railways to eliminate all grade crossings at any period within present vision. 2—The unreasonableness of some communities insisting upon the railways doing things for them that canrn/t be done for all. Every community has its dangerous crossings. One state could not reasonably expect the railways to eliminate all of its grade crossings unless the same thing were done in neighboring states—in all states. The same principle applies to cities and towns. The railway grade crossings problem is usually considered from two viewpoints—the railways and the public. There is the viewpoint of engineers and firemen, which should also be considered. Their duties are nerve-racking, and the habit of automobilists in racing to crossings, and darting upon the track immediately in front of locomotives, has a great tendency to confuse and distress them. They do not want to be involved in accidents causing personal injury or loss of life. They ought to have some assurance that an automobile will be brought to a stop before it is permitted to cross a railway track. The benefits derived from the elimination of grade crossings by the construction of overhead bridges and underpasses—the only plan promising absolute safety—accrue largely to the public in safety and convenience. Therefore, when crossings are eliminated, the expense should be divided on some fair basis between the taxpayers receiving the benefits and the railway. If the people of a community paid in proportion to the benefits received when a crossing is eliminated, demands for elimination would be less frequent. More crossings could be eliminated. The automobile, in proper hands, is an agency of safety at railway grade crossings. It can be driven up close to the tracks and stopped in perfect safety. That cannot always be done with a spirited horse. Therefore, the increasing use of the automobile and the decreasing use of the horse should be solving the grade crossing problem, instead of making it worse. "We recognize there are crossings that should be eliminated, bnt tbe crying need is for seme plan of action that will prevent loss of life and destruction of property in. automobile grade crossing accidents that can be put into effect immediately. One practicable remedy, which would cost but little, would be to inaugurate a great sade against carelessness of automobilists at railway grade crossings. Require them to Stop, Look and Listen. No autoinobilist who does that will ever meet with an ae' ’->.l+ at a railway crossing. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. 11.
