DYE EMBARGO FOR ONE YEAR CAUSES FIGUT Senate Finance Committee Opens Controversy on Measure. OPPOSITION IS CERTAIN Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, April I.—ln deciding by a vote of 6 to 4 to provide an embargo on foreign dyestuffs for a year in the permanent tariff bill, the Senate Finance Committee opens the way for another bitter controversy on this question. Tlps House has rejected previously the proposal for a dye embargo. The provision for a dye embargo will be vigorously opposed by Senator Moses of New Hampshire, Senator La Follette of Wisconsin and a considerable group opposed to embargoes generally and the dye embargo particularly. Under the clause agreed to by the Finance Committee, th American dye industry would be protected Sor a year fr-in the signing of the Fordney tariff bill by an embargo and licensing system. After that time ac -ordlng to the provision, the industry would be protected by duties of 7 cents per pound and 50 per cent ad valorem on intermediate dyes and 7 cents a pound and 00 per cent ad valorem In the finished products. The figbr for a five-year embargo was led by Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, who has stressed what he claims is the menace to Germany competition. The commission committee rejected that proposal with several others and agreed to the one-year embargo. Prospects for completing consideration of this measure by next Thursday were In view, members of the committee said, as a result of the decision today. The only remaining provisions In the Fordney bill to which any controversy has arisen are those bearing on the valuation plan. The House has proposed levying duties on the basis of American valuation. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company. ROTARY TO HAVE SCENARIO.

Illinois Central System Shows Railroads Are Growing Safer Constantly The railroads have been making an excellent record in the reduction of fatalities. The reason for this is to be found in the fact that railway men have been trained to give safety precedence over all other things. To them the most familiar rule in the standard book of railway rules reads: “In case of doubt or uncertainty, the safe course must be taken.” While railway* traffic has greatly increased in recent years, fatalities on the railroads have been decreasing. The Interstate Commerce Commission statistics on this subject for 1921 are not yet available, but the number of fatalities in 1920 was the smallest in twenty-two years, although 1920 was a record year for heavy traffic. The following comparisons with 1911, covering a 10-year period, tell their own story : T Ton Miles Passenger Miles Total Fatalities Tor Cent Increase Per Cent Increase Per Cent Decrease 1912 4.1 0.2 Dec 7 1.8 Inc. 1913 19.2 4.1 6.5 Inc. 1914 .14.0 6.2 0.8 1915 9.6 2.5 Dec 17.1 1916 45.1 6.4 9.9 1917 57.9 7 19.7 3.0 1918 £2.3 29.5 10.7 1919 45.8 40.4 32.9 1920 £4.1 42.4 33.1 In 1920 the railroads carried 16,239,774 passengers to each passenger fatally injured in a train accident. The reader will better appreciate this comparison when it is understood that to load 16,239,774 passengers into 70-foot coaches having a capacity of eighty-eight passengers each would require 184,542 coaehes, which would make up a train 2,446 miles long. Trespassing and automobile grade-crossing accidents contribute heavily to the fatalities on the railroads. In 1920, trespassers fatally injured numbered 2,166, while occupants of automobiles fatally injured numbered 1,273. Together these accounted for nearly one-half of all the fatalities on the railroads during the year. Not many would believe that there are nearly as many persons accidentally drowned in a year as are fatally injured on the railroads. The following table lists some of the commoner causes of fatalities in the United States in 1920: ro „„ Rat* Per 100,000 1 ans# Population Falls 12.3 Automobiles 10.8 Burns (not conflagrations) 7.9 Railroads 6.6 Drownings 5.9 The table below shows that the Illinois Central System has maintained its position among the leading railroads in serving the public with transportation and, at the same time, that the fatalities on its lines have decreased in number substantially, the comparison being with 1911 and covering a 10-year period: Ton Miles Passenger Miles Total Fatalities > wir Per Cent Increase Per Cent Increase Per Cent Increase 1912 3.6 1.9 Dec 12.9 Inc. 1913 20.2 1.0 Dec 11.0 Inc. 1914 19.2 1.1 1.8 Inc. 1915 24.4 9.2 Dec 19.0 1916 45.6 3.2 34.7 1917 78.5 19.2 10.4 1918 99.3 24.6 15.3 1919 63.6 38.6 27 3 1920 113.4 43.0 30.7 The number of fatalities on the Illinois Central System in 1921 was the smallest in twenty-four years. In the road service of the Illinois Central System there has not been a passenger fatally injured in a train accident in more than four years. In the suburban service at Chicago, only one passenger has been fatally injured in a trnin accident in the entire history of this service, which was established in 1856 and which has grown until it now handles nearly thirty million passengers a year. We believe the public will agree with us that the handling of a heavier business with a smaller number of fatalities is a barometer of railway efficiency. The Illinois Central System pledges renewed effort toward rendering to the public a transportation service of safety and satisfaction, and asks the co-operation of the public. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System.

Miners Are Happy as They Quit Work , hut Homes Are Sad

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April I. Although 28,000 miners of this district dropped their tools Friday afternoon and at midnight last night with smiles on their faces and with Joyful words on their lips, there was with fear in their hearts. Back home th e miners and their families were not optimistic. Miners’ wives, those who had been through strikes in the past and those recently married who had never felt the strain of industrial strife before, were ‘‘afraid.’’ One is the wife of a successful miner—a woman on whose face fifty years have worn something akin to hopelessness. ‘‘lt Just Beems that a miner can’t have his own home,” she said. “We’ve raised our family and we’ve had enough to eat and wear and a good place to sleep. Before we married I lived on a farm. Several times we'vo saved up enough to make a good first payment, and along comes a strike and our money has to tide us over. We've been lucky, though, Tom hasn’t had an accident in twenty-seven years.” In another piac e near here a young wife was waiting for her husband to come home. There were three little tots playing in the front yard and her eyes told the story of her unhr.ppiness. At the next place an old man came to the door. “I’ve been a miner for forty-six

years,” he said. “A miner is never ready for a strike, and work has been very poor this year.” Here’s the way it sums up: No Easter dresses for the kiddles. Plainest of foods. Worry, fear, tears, hunger. Sharing with buddies. That’s not the part that comes in the miner operator conferences, but that’s what the people “back home” are thinking about today.
