have witnessed demonstrations, have
announced that they are writing it

standard of their states, as a "practical
method of combating incline accidents,"
which, competent authorities estimate,
comprise 40 per cent of fatal highway
accidents. Highway representatives of
other states and of the U. S. Bureau of
Good Roads have arranged for tests.
"Highway engineers have for years
been searching for a guard to1 replace
wooden rails," which merely serve as
a warning at dangerous roadsides and
turns, snd stone walls and cables
which, if hit with any violence, break
through or wreck the machine because
of the impact." said Kyle.

first Monday in September, the
12th day of October, the 11th day
of November, the 25th day of De
cember, and every day ou which
an election is held throughout the
state, and every day appointed by
the president of the United States
or by the governor of this state
for a public fast, thanksgiving or
holiday; providing that days on
which an election is held through
out the state shall be school holi
days for such schools only whose
school room is used for election
purposes; and provided that the
12th day of February, the first
Monday in September and the 12th
day of October shall not be school
holidays," but a portion of said
days shall be set apart and ob
served in the public schools of the
state by appropriate exercises ; pro
vided further, that the 22nd day
of February shall be a school holi
day except that uot less than one
and one-half hours of the fore
noon of such day shall be set
apart and observed in the public
schools of the state by appropriate
exercises and the afternoon of
such day shall be a holiday; pro
vided further, that when holidays

The above is from chapter 41,

Spirited Meeting Held
By Central LaDor uouncu
Whether Frank Hughes is un
fair to organized labor in the con
struction work now going on at
High and Ferry street, was the
topic of a heated debate and of
much oratory at the regular meet
ing of the Salem Trades and Labor
Council last night. As a result of
the report a committee who had
interviewed Mr. Hughes regarding
bis position, picketing, advertising
and other means of calling atten
tion to his attitude were discussed
though no definite action was
taken. j
Initial plans for a small labor
paper were discussed and the mat
ter placed before the typographi
cal union for estimates. Repre
sentatives of this union present
were asked to report back upon
the question.
Committees were appointed to
consider the possibilities of anoth
er business agent, as J. C. Jensen
of Portland, who was selected had
not appeared. An effort will be
made to obtain a local man if
possible. The other committee
was named to meet with other
committees to discuss the auto
park grounds at the Chamber of
Commerce rooms Thursday night.
Swearing in meeting will not be
tolerated in the future, though it
was the consensus of opinion that
such words as damn, it sufficiently
provoked, were not to be frowned
on.
Standing committees for the
year were named as follows: Leg
islation, Galniard. Brant, Little
field and Hubbard; arbitration.
Batty, Dibbs, Baker, White and
Bochringer; organization. Batty,
