According to Sen. William Mc Allister, chairman of the senate committee, Senate Bill 8 got off to a bad start because it. was rep resented to be a replica of the New York fair employment code, a measure which has met with administrative success in handling the ticklish problems involved in the subject of fair labor and em ployment practices. However, when Senate Bill 6 was laid along side the New York law it was discovered that there was wide divergence between the two. So the committee, since the public hearing of a couple of weeks ago, has been whittling on the bill in an attempt to get it where it would fit into the frame work of the New York law. It has worked out a bunch of amend ments all of which, according to Chairman McAllister, either have been prepared or have been ap proved by Senators Neuberger and Mahoney who were the original lead horses in the string of 18 senators and representatives who sponsored the bill as introduced. Armed with the amendments the attorney general has been putting together a new bill which is to be as near a verbatim copy of the New York law as is possi ble, the differences between statu tory structure and procedure of the two states considered. The administrative features of the new bill have been patterned after the New Jersey law, it is explained, because administrative procedure in the latter state fits easier Into Oregon practices. Administration and enforcement of the act is placed in the hands of the de partment of labor while an "ad visory board of seven members, appointed by the governor, is set up. The draft of the amended measure is scheduled to be laid before the committee Monday for its final check and approval. The fair employment practices bill has been the sizzling spud of the session so far. Senate mem bers have been practically sub merged by a continuing flood of organized demands from over the state generally but centered in Multnomah county, warning the lawmakers to "pass Senate Bill as is." The body of many of the messages is identical, in mimeo graphed form, the signatures be ing different. Whether the flood will recede once the amended bill makes its appearance Is one more circum stance the senate is wondering about, for some of the messages imply that should the recipient fail to cast his vote for Senate Bill 8 "as is," he had just as well start looking for another job Insurance Firm Sets Sales Record In its 98th annual statement. Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance company of Hartford, Conn., re ports 1948 sales the largest in its history, according to Sam Rich ardson, Willamette valley repre sentative.

' l StatefTraffic Fatality Rate At New Low Oregon's traffic fatality rate in 1948 slumped to the lowest point yet recorded to establish an aver age of 7.0 deaths for each one hundred miles of actual travel, Secretary of State Earl T. New bry announced Saturday. A drop in the number of per sons killed coupled with a 10 per cent gain in travel over the year before brought the lowered death rate figure, Newbry explained. The mileage death rate for 1947 was 8.6. Traffic last year claimed 414 lives compared to 442 in 1947. Other elements of the 1948 traf fic picture were not so bright, Newbry revealed. Total accidents reached a record 66,298 or almost 3000 more than the number listed a year ago, while the number of persons injured climbed four per cent to an all time high of 12,022. The death decrease is credited to fewer fatal accidents on rural highways, offsetting a slight in crease in city traffic fatalities.
