CIVIC FEDERATION GATHERS
Gompers and Mitchell Talk on Wage
earnerS' Insurance.
seth Low Calls Attention to Fact
thnt the Country Has Had Few
Labor Troubles Recently.

New York Nov. Samuel GomPers
and John Mitchell. the convicted officers
Of the American Federation of Labor.
who are awaiting the decision OF the Su-
preme Court upon their sentences 10 jan
terms because Of contempt from the
United states District Court Of Washing
ton spoke to-day before the annual meet
ing OF the National civic Federation. held
az the Hotel Aston Their addresses We're
upon the general topic Of wage earners'
insurance and employers liability, which
held discussion during all OF the first ses-
sion Of the two days conference
Besides the two labor leaders, repre-
sentative business men from all parts Of
the country and from abroad delivered ad-
dresses upon the various phases Of the
question set for discussion. There were
more than 100 representatives, Of the
federation present at the conference.
President Gompers. of the labor fedora
ton. spoke on the topic, Should in
dustry bear the burden incident to In
dustriaI accidents?"
The question Of whether industry
should bear the risks Of accidents or
whether society should bear the burden IS
not so important as that the burden
should not be borne by the injured work
man or his family" said Mr.. Gompers.
People speak of the burdens upon the
employer as II the employer paid out Of
his own pocket liabilities arising from
accident. As a matter Of fact. he figures
in the cost Of such accidents when he Is
making out the bid for his contract or
fixing the price OF his products. just as
he includes the cost Of the raw material,
the machinery, and the expense Of oPerat-
ing his plant"
In opening the session. Seth Low, presi-
dent OF the National Civic Federation,
called attention TO the fact that since
the panic Of two years ago the country
has been singularly free Of labor trou-
/ bles due 20 attempts on the part OF the
| employers 20 reduce wages.
! George b. Cortelyou, president OF the
Consolidated Gas Company OF New York
told Of the provision for the care of in
| jured employees which was taken by his
company He urged that before flooding
employees with libraries. club rooms. and
other social benefits. employers OF labor
should first resolve to do nothing to in
! lure the self-respect either Of their en-
! ployes or themselves. Labor was not
! seeking charity, he said

REMOVES THE GREASE.
Supt. Wood Tests New Sweeper in
the Capital Streets.

Supt. Wood Tests New Sweeper in
the Capital Streets.
James NJ Wood. superintendent OF the
District STRENGTHENING department. IS
testing a new type Of sueet-cleaning ma
chine. It is a combination sprinkler and
sweeper. employing a rubber "squeesee"
TO cleanse the asphalt surface Of all
forms Of dirt Dangers OF tuberculosis
infection are aIleviated.
Executive avenue was gone over with
the machine last Friday morning. Pre-
viously several horses had fallen there
every day. So effectively was the grease
and slime removed that since then no
accidents have been reported. Mount
Vernon place was cleaned on Saturday.
The machine viii be tried IN Fifteenth
street this morning ct S o'clock.
At first sight, the machine presents a
strange appearance. A cylindrical steel
water tank surmounts the affair. Five
hundred gallons Of water are carried
One pint is required for esch square yard
Of surface. In spite OF this small amount,
compared with other sprinklers, sufficient
water Is supplied 90 flush the cutters, and
as there IS a law in Washington pro-
hibiting expectoration on sidewalks, pos
sible danger from tuberculosis germs are
thus removed. The water is not allowed
20 remain on the street and make Il
slippery, however, but is forced 20 one
side BY the squeegee, a roller with rub
/ Der fauges. attached 70 the rear. so that
within a few minutes the street is dry.
| All forms Of dirt, il IS claimed. are re-
moved by this roller more effectively
than by the older form Of brush.
The results have been SO satisfactory
and the expense OF operation so low,
about s. q day, that Supt. Wood may
/ recommend 70 Commissioner West the
! purchase Of several of the machines.
