FataliEes.

Minneapolis The percentage of IA
tai accidents in factories, mills and
workshops in Minnesota is increasing
to rather remarkable extent, accord
ing to report issued by Labor Com
missioner w. II. Williams, covering
the accidents of the last six months
Mr.: Williams reports that 439 acci-
dents occurred during the six months,
and that of these forty-one, nearly 10
per cent, were fatal The percentage
of fatal accidents in 1904 was g. OF per
cent
No reason is known for the increase
in fatalities, and an investigation will
probably be made. One of the objects
of receiving reports on accidents is to
enable the bureau to keep in touch
