The EvENNG TIMES, GRAND FORKS. n D.

dttions, are also reproduced and the
exhibition is sufficient to turn the stom-
ach and sicken the heart of the most
hardened. Never before have the con-
dittons surrounding these workers of
the underground dens of industry been
so faithfully depicted and the revela-
tlon Is expected to speedily result in a
widespread public demand for their
amelioration.
Americas Blood Tax.
Statistics are usually dry and unin-
teresting, but those compiled by the
promoters of the industrial exposition,
emphasizing with terrible detail the
nations blood tax, are not in this cate
cory. These figures show in all lines
Of industry in America from three to
twenty times as many workmen are
killed and injured as there are among
a similar number of workmen engaged
In similar industries in England and
continental Europe. Every year half
million American workmen are sacrl-
ficed-more than twice the number of
men killed during the Civil war, the
'bloodiest conflict in all history.
On the railroads of the country alone
26 employees are killed and 237 are In
jured every day in the year-a total of
nearly 10000 killed and 10000 injured
during the past year. The comparison
between the number of workmen and
passengers killed on the railroads is
startling. The figures show that one
out of every $40 of the railroad en-
ployes of the United States is killed
and one out of every % Is injured ev-
cry year, while among the passengers
only one out of every million and
half is killed, and these are mainly
among the poorer classes, who are.
forced to ride in chair cars. In Eng
land only one-fifth as many railroad
employees are killed as in the United
States, according to the number of men
engaged, while in Germany and other
continental countries the percentage is
even smaller.
Man Killing Machinery.
Caught in the machinery is the
usual cause assigned in factory casual
ties, and in nearly every case it is the
correct one. The death-dealing instru-
ments of warfare, the man-eating IT,
gers of the jungles, the ravenous
sharks of the deep seas-these are
mere playthings compared with the
whirring machinery of the nations fac
tories. Nearly a quarter million men
are annually killed or MANNED each
year in the factories OF the United
States, and 1t is claimed that nearly all
could have been saved by the use of
safety devices. According to these fig
ures, greater hero than the man who
goes to war is the factory worker, risk
ing his life a dozen times where the
soldier risks death once.
The miner is another laborer who
faces appalling odds and daily flirts
with death. In the fifteen states of the
union where records are kept of mine
casualties, nearly 10000 miners were
killed or injured last year. In a few
states laws for the protection of the
miners are stringently enforced, but
In most of them mining still remains
the most hazardous of occupations, the
victims adding to the sinister process
sion of half million American work
men who yearly march to untimely
graves, sacrificed to human greed and

ans Trade Union league.
While the purpose of the exposition
is to illustrate the terrible Industrial
conditions under which millions of
Americans exist, 1t also, points out the
remedy by showing in contrast the
modern and sanitary workshop where
lives are protected and the health of
the workers conserved by intelligent
and humane methods. Side by side are
shown the good and the bad of modern
industry, in the hope of arousing the
public to demand that the former be
made supreme everywhere. Devices
are on exhibition whereby the most
dangerous machinery is rendered COM
paratively safe, the exhibitions in this
line including complete reproductions
Of the Exposition of Industrial Condi-
tions recently held in Philadelphia and
the Exposition of Industrial Hygiene
and Safety Devices given in New York
in January by the American Institute
Of Social Service.
Sweat Shop Horrors.
Perhaps the most interesting exhi-
bition to the general public, since 1t
most directly affects the public health
and welfare, is that of the sweat shop
horrors. In bare, filthy, squallid rooms,
the very air breeding pestilence, the
workers of the sweated industries are
shown. Old men and women and little
children are to be seen, engaged in &C.
equations which destroy their vitality
and shorten their lives, working long
hours for meager pittahce by which,
with pitiful economy, they are enabled
to drag out their miserable existence.
Most of these are engaged in the cloth
ing industry, the average wage being
from 81 to 50 a week. Basement bak-
cries, where bread and pastry are made
under the worst possible sanitary con-

THE AIR LINE UP AGAIN
Agents for Proposed Air Line Railway
From Peg to New Orleans
Busy Again.

The railway to run from Winnipeg,
Man., to New Orleans. La, passing
through Grand Forks. is again before
the public eye. This road has been
talked of for the past several years,
but no actual work has ever been done.
Several days ago Attorney George Pc
terson of Pembina received a letter
from a Chicago firm, who are agents
for the proposed line, asking as to
what feeling the people in this state
would evidence toward such an under
taking. The agents claim that they
have the funds back of them, but ask
that they be given free right of way
through this territory.

 Senator Beveridge illustrated his speech in the senate with photographs showing the conditions amid which children sometimes work. He points ont that as the result of labor under such conditions many die, While othe~ grow up dwarfed, crooked and weak their minds dulled and clouded ana their souls darkened and vicious. He maintains that many more children are cmployed in factories than the census figures show.

had to wear furs and extra wraps. He has the
records OF eight thermometers in the apartments

rooms was never above 80 Wiltshire moved out

PLAY NTH DYNAMITE.
School Children Injured by Car
tridges Which They Found.

There was great excitement up in the italian
section of Harlem yesterday when it became
known that dynamite had been scattered around
loose The entire neighborhood turned out after
several explosions had occurred. The reserves
Of the East 104th street station had to be called
10 calm the excited Italians. An investigation
by the police showed that several Italian boys
had obtained a number of boxes of dynamite
cartridges which, they say they found on the
waterfront near 1o4th street.
The police had considerable trouble rounding
up the boys who were carrying the cartridges
in their pockets. Three of the boys were badly
injured by the premature explosion of one of
the cartridges
Thomas De Rezzio. twelve years old, Of No.
$50 East 1O5th street was foolng with one of
the cartridges in the basement of Public School
1Os, in East 99th street. when # exploded and
blew off one finger of his left hand and two of
HIS right The school children were thrown into
escapes. believing the school on fire Finally
the teachers succeeded in quieting the pupils.
De Rezzio was taken to the Harlem Hospital.
Almost at the same time Dominica Gerald, four
teen years old. of No 341 East 1O5th street, was
playing with one OF the shells in front of No
2ol2 First avenue when II exploded and blew off
his right hand. At the time of the explosion he
was surrounded by a score of his companions.
Several Of them were cut by flying fragments.
Gerard was hurried to the same hospital.
The police learned that the boys had found a
dozen boxes. each containing one hundred
cartridges. One Of the boys told the police he
had seen two men hide the boxes under wharf
the night before and that he and several others
had taken them yesterday. The police are now
hunting for the remaining cartridges.
