Show Page 4 THE JOURNAL 4 cm - Gl'ST TEST 1 ; Doath Dazzle Kills Night Drivers One-fift- of the fatalities listed in the annual toll of h 8,150,000 street and highway accidents is attributed to causes which come under tiie general heading of vision obstruction, according to a report of the National Safety Council. The conclusion of this organization is that the death dazzle on the highways is increasing and represents a fear; some night peril to motorists, causing accidents which have proved fatal to thousands of motorists and pedestrians. While other factors, such as fatigue, impatience and lack of judgment, entered into the accidents, these causes are accentuated by the dazzle that comes from many headlights. On rural routes, in particular, this seems to be the case because the death ratio is highest after nightfall. The one practice that could curb the highway glare, that of lowering the headlight beam in passing, has fallen into widespread disuse, although many states have laws making such procedure mandatory. The volume of traffic, in many localities, is so heavy that traffic policemen find it almost impossible to enforce the rules because of insufficient, manpower. We call attention to the figures given by the National Safety Council because they emphasize the peril of bright lights when two cars meet on the highway. Utah, however, is one that requires motorists to lower their headlights when meeting another vehicle and, we must state, our experience in recent night driving reveals that, in most cases, the driv-ers-automobiles are complying with this regulation. It has been very rare, in our experinece, to meet a driver who did not obey this rule. of Controls to Choclt War-Profitee- rs The possibility of something like a global war has alerted American industry which is ready to mobilize its resources for the production of necessary items of warfare. V Throughout the United States, business men are on the alert for possible profits out of a war emergency. They foresee a tremendous demand for goods and, already, some lines are feeling the impetus of increased buying as the public seeks to avoid the possibility of disappointment later on. Labor leaders are also urging the mobilization of workers for the production of whatever the nation may need in its defensive efforts. Millions of workers, trained in the pro- duction of the second World War, will provide an ample supply of trained labor, ready to turn out the implements of warfare. Industry and labor, of course, will be paid for their extra efforts. Others who have something to sell will acquire unexpected profits. The only people in the nation who will not ook to possible war with the anticipation of extra profits are the men and women who join the armed forces of the nation. This article may not please those who to make expect monetary profit out of war, or the threat of war, but it should be good reading to the parents of the and girls who will go into service and risk their lives for boys their country Unions Fight Socialism ' Some time ago, tho C.

International Brotherhood of Electric Workers took a similar stand. Now the Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor has come out with a strong statement against socialization of the utilities. It pointed out that the electric industry has been a powerful influence in increasing the number jobs and the number ot union members in its state. Then of it said: It is therefore with deep concern bordering on alarm that we of e Stea encroachment throughout the country m this field by certain governmental which agencies threatens to destroy the private electric power industry by unfair competitive methods financed wholly with the taxpayers .
