AS the members Of Our organization are well aware, MI. Taft a made
an honorary member Of OF Brotherhood in recognition of his fairness to our

When contractors on government work showed a disposition to disregard
o. violate the EightIIOur Law, Mr.. Taft started prosecutions against these
contractors through the United States Attorney Generals Office.
When a n effort was made this year to ut wages at PaSama, Mr. Taft
used his influence to prevent it. fer his knowledge of conditions OIL the
lsthmus convinced him that the prevailing wages were at least fair and
just and that there should be no reduction in pay o. that work. Since Mr.
Taft has been Secretary Of War he has had a great many dealings with or
ganized labor in it's different branches, and he has always shown a spirit Of
absolute fairness. We have the utmost confidence in case Of his election to
the presidency of the continuance of the fair and Just policies toward organ

Furnish Accident Statistics.

Applications of dependents for COM
pensation IN case of the death of an
employee from accidental injury must
be made within 30 days after such
death. The records Of the application
of this act will furnish valuable ma
terial for statistics Of accidents, which,
for this country are quite meager In
order to make the statistics more com
plete and valuable, reports OF all acct
dental injuries to government employees,
regardless of the application of this act,
have been requested from al govern
ment establishments and offices. As the
number Of United States government
employees exceeds 3CC,cC0. these statis-
ties will prove Of great scientific value
and practical use In the future.
