cording to Bureau of
Labor Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Between
10000 and $4,000 deaths and two million
injured is the accident record In the
United States during the last year
among workingmen, according to a bull
letin on accidents issue today by the
bureau of labor. OF those employed In
factories and workshops, it is stated,
that probably the most exposed class
are the workers in iron and steel.
Fatal accidents among electricians and
electric linemen and coal miners are de-
clared to be excessive, while railway
trainmen were killed in the proportion
of TAG deaths per 1000 employees.
The bulletin declares that much that
could be lone for the protection of the
workingman is neglected, though many
and far reaching improvements have
been introduced in factory practise dur
ing the last decade. 1t is pointed out
that the possibilities for successful acci-
dent prevention nave been clearly
demonstrated in the experience of for
eign countries.

STRIKE MAY COME
TO AN END SOON
Committee of the Men Meet
With Employers to Reach
an Agreement.

A committee from the $50 employees
of the Boyden Shoe Company in South
Canal street, who have been on strike
for several days, held a conference this
afternoon with the employers and dis
cussed terms about going back to work.
The factory has been running on
short time for several months and re-
Gently, when the firm received a large
order to be delivered in a hurry, they
put all of the employees on full time
and hired a number Of extra men in
the freeing department. 1t was the
hiring of these extra hands to which
the employees objected.
They complained to the employers
that h firm should not put on extra
hands, but should give the work to the
old employees who had been kept on
part time. The result was the strike
and the complete shutting down of the
factory.
Since then the strikers have been
holding daily meetings in the Passaic
House, South Canal and Commercial
streets, and today's meeting with the
employers was a result of these confer
ences.
