Hundreds of men. women and chii-

! 1t is related in the dispatches that

high value ManifeStly the danger of
destruction or damage TO this property
was well unprecedented But as to pro-

consequence that it escaped attention

Such brutal disregard for the lives

of the civilization of which we some

most sordid commercialism could be
so morally blind to responsibility. Only
sefishness or self seeking of the most
extreme kind could thus gamble with
the possibilities of sacrificing human

SAFETY FOR TOILERS.
John Mitchell Favors Compensation
Over Liability Laws

Over Liability Laws.
| In an address nj the annual meeting
of the American Academy of Political
and Social Science John Mitchell, the
| labor leader said
ut is II strange commentary on our
/ boosted American civilization that in
! the United States three times as many
persons in proportion to the number
employed are killed or injured in the
course of their employment as in any
other country in the world"
/ This startling state of affairs does
indeed constitute strange common
tary on our industrial practices. and
| our civilization in general. The pride
of the nation, IL nothing else. should
lead the American people to insist
/ upon radical improvement of condi-
/ tons.
Mr.. Mitchell points out the need of
more intelligent factory and mining
1 inspection laws and their rigid en-
forcement The number of factory
and mine inspectors must he Increased
and the inspectors removed from the
sphere of political influence. Mr.. Nit
| chel also urges the establishment OF
( schools for the special training of in
! spectors In connection with publicly
maintained museums in which safety
devices would he displayed. He offers
the further suggestion that the use OF
| the most approved safety appliances
he made compulsory upon employers.
With reference TO compensation for
such injuries as are inevitable Mr..
Mitchell says:
From time immemorial the work
ingmen of the United States have en-
deayored to have enacted comprehen-
Sive employers liability laws, and.
while | am in full sympathy with their
efforts in this direction. yet II is TO be
remembered that even the best sys-
tenn OF employers liability means ex-
pense. delay and litigation. whereas
compensation laws. such as prevail In
forei.>l countries. work automatically.
benefits are paid immediately, friction
is eliminated and a large measure of
Justice is done"
II is unfortunate that all leaders of
organized labor do not see the truth of
this matter of compensation for indus
trial accidents with as clear vision as
does John Mltchell.-Chicago News.
