MESSAGE
OF the Rev. Charles Sickle, the
Eminent Devine.
Says Something Should be Done
to Give More Protection to
Industrial Workers.

Rev. Charles Stclzlc, well known
to all trade uniOnistS in the United
States, offers Il subject for Labor
Day addresses which is worthy of
the consideration of all unionists.
lie says that the time has arrived
for the enactment of legislation for
the protection of labor in mills and
factories. This is what he says:

labor. would go to the limit
with any man in discussing its
glcry. Labor Day orators should
give their imaginations the largest
liberty in speaking of it. Many
workingmcn fail to receive the in
SEPARATION which should come to
them because Of it. 1t is a great
thing to have Il part in the worlds
work. 1t is Il shame to be Il non
produccr--a parasite.
But there is another side Of the
question. According to Il press
dispatch, during last year 2,G6O
deaths were reported to the coroner
OF Allegheny county, 9I3 Of which
were the result OF accidents in
mills, mines or on railroads.
Some of the victims were burned
by molten metal, Il blast furnace
burst, or a hugh lndlc was upset
in the steel mills; others were
caught III the rollers in a plate
mill, and some We're crushed in the
machinery of the rail mills. Many
were Killed in mines by falling
slate, Some by gas explosions, and
others by falls from dcrlicl>s,
ScaffoldS, ana like structures. Not
Il few met death while working
about electric cranes, which pick
up massive pieces of structural
steel at the simple moving Of a
lever.
'The average number Of deaths
reported to the coroner is about
$50 month. For the first five
months of the present year there
were ,O?5 deaths; 3l4 Of which
may be cla>Scd as -'Sacriliccs upon

same period in the preceding year
there were .Ol5 deaths, OF which
