That is not only 10 turn $500. 600. p
600 into the Wall Street banks. but
Il means 10 deny 10 every other

posted 10 those banks, that the
people in the West. and in the South.
and in the other parts Of the United
States may have the opportunity TO
use il. Applause on the Democrat
ie side. Not only that. but you
give il 10 these banks without a
dollar Of interest. and when you
vote J 20 sustain the Speaker in ul-
ing my amendment out Of order.
When ] appealed from his decision.
you voted 10 turn over 10 the national
banks four hundred millions Of the
peoples money without a dollar Of
interest. The amendment which I
proposed vas as follows
The Secretary Of the Treasury

In the national banking associations
designated as deposiiori.s for same

under such rules and regulations as
he may prescribe. and in depositing
said money aforesaid in the national
banking associations he shall deposi,
same With the national banking
associations paying the greatest
amount Of interest for same. but In
40 event shall the rate Of interest be
less than = per cent. Where the
rate Of interest bid by more than
one national banking association Tor
any deposi, Of such public money is
an equal tate above the per cent
aforesaid. the Secretary Of the
Treasury in such event shall dis
tribute said public money equitably
IN the various national banking
associations throughout the various
States making such equal bids, ami
the rate OF interest chargeable upon

post; Provided. That the amount

labor. What are his chances to regain
a foothold?
Some few corporations retain on the
payroll those employees who may have
been injured in their service, but the
number of such is small. A few pro-
vide pensions, and even fewer have
instituted some form of benefit that
will be a real help in case of disable
ment.
But the great mass of injured per.
sons must readjust themselves as best
they can.
Prejudiced Employers.
The chief reason why they fail to do
this and start on the long tortuous
road to semi-pauperism and finally the
almshouse is the open prejudice of
employers against hiring a cripple, or
a failure on their part to recognize
the fact that he still possesses an
! economic value, as he usually does.
This remorseless prejudice against
which many an honest and capable
man has been forced to contend has
driven valuable material to the waste
heap of humanity II not to a self
made grave.
There are many positions filled by
boys and girls who should be in school
which could be better filled by older
men and women unable to command
higher wages because of physical dis
ability To supplant the incumbents
of such positions would be to raise
the standards of education and of liv.
ing, for If the children were not avail
able their disabled seniors would take
their places at higher rate OF wages
though at less than current standards

stigma of a present national disgrace

New York.-More than 100000 men
and women are injured or killed in
The industries annually in the United
States, or one person every minute.
This industrial carnage costs the
people Of the country, directly and in
directly, over two and half billions
Of dollars-a sum larger than the
national debt.
Such are the death tolls of indus
trial progress, which shows such a
smiling face to those whose occupa-
tions involve no danger, but turns a
CHASTITY countenance on those who
work in peril of their lives.
Whoever doubts these figures need
only read the grim statistics to be
convinced that modern industry is
more fatefui than war.
In the Japanese-Russian war a total
of 33S,7S6 men were killed and wound
ed on both sides, not counting the
losses in naval battles.
In the same period in the United
States alone the great army of Ameri-
can laborers engaged in manufacture
ing and building operations suffered a
loss Of 425,O0O killed and injured; 92,.
900 more lives were sacrificed to in

pressed employer becomes a victim to
the very system that is slowly but Ger.
tainly adding to the cost of main
tenance and production by increasing
the value of labor, which he has tried
to maintain, If not to cheaper.
Remedy Pointed Out.
Where is the remedy? II the pres
ent industrial system cannot be abol-
ished, II may be controlled If the
wear and tear must continue, II may
proceed with less friction and waste.
Legislation on this point is becoming
more stringent, and employers them
selves are aiding in the effort to avoid
needless loss of life and limb.
This problem can be solved only by
sorring out the injured and readiust-
ing them to other forms of labor. AS
employers more fully appreciate the
great financial loss of life and limb,
as they now so carefully guard the
waste of raw material and so assidu-
ously convert by-products into profit,
the half million now annually forced
into idleness and nonproductivity will
be reestablished on selfsupporting
basis
Centuries Paralleled.
In former times vassals. serfs and
slaves gave up their lives blindly to
their feudal chiefs fighting their bat
ties. tilling their soil, selling their own
birth rights for a pot of miserable
| porridge.
AS the fourteenth century vassal
sold his service and life for food and
shelter so the twentieth century ar
tisan sells his labor and life for money
with which to buy the necessaries OF
life. If his wages are greater than his
living expenses and he is fortunate
enough to escape bodily harm, he may,
under extremely favorable conditions,
be able to provide for an independent
old age But II shifting economic con.
