. 119 billions of dollars, the U. S.
' Commissioner of Labor Statistics,
Dr. Isador Lubin, told the joint
anti-monopoly committee today
as it opened its investigation.
Prof. Lubin said the 119-bil-
lion-dollar loss was in wages and
salaries rising from the unem-
I ployment of the industrial work-
! ers. He then pointed out that if
: farmers had been able to main-
tain their 1929 level of income,
their gross income for the past
nine years would have aggregated
$38,000,000,000 more than t.
actually received.

We nave been informed that
both the city and school district
are preparing to file suits in Dis-

delinquent taxes due to these
branches of government.
Property owners who are be-
hind with their taxes are urged
to make an effort to settle their
obligations before these suits can
be filed, as they will be saved a
considerable sum in court costs
if they bring their taxes up to
date.
There are quite a number of

a fast Denver & Rio Grande wes-
j tern freight train struck a school
bus near Midvale, Utah, today.
Midvale is twelve miles south
of Salt Lake City.
Twenty bodies had been
brought into Salt Lake City at
11:00 o’clock. Twelve others were
brought to a Salt Lake county
hospital. Ten of them were re-
ported iri critical condition.
The bus driver, Farrell Sil-
cox. was killed.
The tragedy, the worst of its
kind to occur in this state, hap-
pened shortly after 9:00 a. m.
Willard Richardson, superin-
tendent of the bus division of
the railroad, said the accident
occurred during a snowstorm
that had prevailed during the
night, making visibility for both
train crew and the bus driver
extremely low.
The bus, with a capacity of 80
' persons, carried between 40 and
50 pupils enroute to the Jordan
high school near Midvale.
According to Richardson,
bus driver made the usual stop
at a grade crossing, then pro-
ceeded and was immediately
struck, by the fast-moving train.
