Double drownings often happen when a fairly good swimmer, not famittar with life sav: ing methods, plunges to the rescue of a drowning companion whom he cannot possibly save, Drowning persons, unless they have become unconscious, always seek to grab their would-be rescuet around the neck and try to climb up on him and out of the water. Unless the rescuer knows how to break these “death grips,” he is dragged below the surface. Life saving is a science.

RENEWED APPEALS ASK PRESIDENT 10 END TRUCK STRIKE Roosevelt Urged to Take Hand in Requiring Employes’ Election Held Minneapolis, Aug. 15. — () — Ri newed appeals for decisive action de- signed to terminate the truck drivers’ strike were sent President Roosevelt and Washington officials Wedinesday by the employers advisory committee. The president was asked to act per- sonally in the four-week controversy by exercising his authority in requir- ing election be held among employes to determine representation for col- Kective bargaining. Copies of the message were sent Jesse Jones, chairman of the RFC, and Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins, Simultaneously, the employers demanded Rev. Francis Haas, federal mediator, ask the national labor re- Jations board in Washington to order such elections, Father Haas said he had not decid. ed whether he would forward the re- quest to Washington. The employers, who heretofore asked such elections in only 43 firms whose employes are on strike, Wednesday increased that number to the committee's full mem- bership in 166 companies. Strike leaders have vigorously op- Posed any such elections unless they were conducted in all the 166 firms. Shortly after the National Guard fired its first shots in the strike Wed- hesday morning, a committee of the union leaders called upon Adjutant General Walsh and Governor Floyd B. Olson at guard headquarters pro- testing against widespread movement of trucks. The governor told them everything possible was being done to prevent “chiseling” by operators with- out military permits or who have not subscribed to the Haas-Dunnigan Peace plan. National Guardsmen fired their first shots in the current truck driv- ets’ strike Wednesday when they shot at an automobile which ran through sentry lines about guard headquarters ‘at the armory downtown. Archie Nadeau, the driver, was ar- rested when he returned to boast about running the blockade. No one was injured though Nadeauh’s car was struck twice as it careened through the streets. Nadeau’s automobile barely missed & police squad car coming in the op- Posite direction.
