PROGRAM OF ORGANIZED LABOR.
Shall the Workers Bear All the Burden
of Industrial Accidents?
lRy the Rev. Charles Stelzle !

(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.)
There are fully 100000 accidents to
the workers in industrial life every year.
Probably 10000 of these are fatal. II
every year an American city of 10000
people should be completely destroyed
it would arouse the greatest Indignation.
But in the matter of industrial accidents
the 10000 killed are men-producers
men with families which suffer most
keenly on account OF our recklessness
and apparent Indifference to industrial
accidents. How some accidents happen
is indicated in the report of the factory
inspector of Pennsylvania. Referring to
the iron and steel workers, he says: The
reckless manipulation of cranes and
hoists; the hasty and faulty hooking up
of heavy weights; the slipping of fur
naces; the overturning of ladies' filled
with molten metal; the speeding of en-
gines and cars without light, bell or flag
man through the yards of large establish
ments thronged with busy workers; the
ordering of employees to work up rotten
scaffoldings; the employment of foreign
ers ignorant of our language and habits
in dangerous occupations without words
of caution and without proper oversight
are crimes against humanity that call
for drastic legislation"
The number of accidents in the coal
industry of America are appalling. We
kill more men in the mines than are
killed in any other country in the world,
in spite of the fact that our mines are
most easily worked. In Pennsylvania
alone 500 miners are Killed every year.
On the railroads in the United States
we injure every year $4,000 workers.
Every eighth man in this industry Is in
jured once a year.
Almost the entire burden of Industrial
accidents falls upon the injured worker
and his family, those least able to bear
it. In the United States the brunt of the
struggle for the prevention of accidents
has been and still is being borne almost
entirely by the labor unions. The United
Mine Workers of America has among its
objects" the following: ITO secure the
introduction of any and all well-deiined
and established appliances for the pres
ervation of life, health and limbs OF all
mine employees. OF reduce to the lowest
possible minimum the awful catastrophes
which have been sweeping our fellow
craftsmen to untimely graves by the
thousands, by securing legislation look
ing to the most perfect system of ven
tilation, drainage, etc. To enforce exist
ing laws-and where none exist, enact
and enforce them-calling for a plentiful
supply fsuitable timber for supporting
the roof, pillars, etc, and to have all
working places rendered as free from
water and impure air and poisonous gases
as possible" Other organizations OF
workers have taken similar action with
respect to their particular crafts, and at
the annual conventions of the American
Federation of Labor considerable atten-
tion is given to this subject.

WILLIAM voELKER G. co.

In enumerating the concerns of Den
yer that are held in the highest esteem

our list would indeed be incomplete
without most prominent mention of VIM.
Voelker & Co., which is located at 1928
Fourteenth street. This company are
manufacturers of window shades, limo
leums, rugs holdings, picture frames
and general house furnishings. The out
put of this company is received with
universal satisfaction throughout the
country and they have factories in Chi
cago, ILL.,, Kansas City, Mo-, and in Den
yer, Colo. Their plants are all most
modernly equipped and their employees
are well paid for their labor. This en-
terprise is most heartily in sympathy
with labor when properly conducted and
has never opposed its broad underlying
principles but have have shown them
selves to be manifestly publicspirited
and broad-minded and deserves proper
recognition in this review of the honor
ably conducted enterprises in our midst
worthy of our endorsement and CON
tinued support.
The local manager is NJ. w. Kennedy

Plan of Organization.

We now have a Woman's National
committee composed of seven women.
This committee has elected a general
correspondent, whose duty it is to serve
as their secretary, and to take charge
of the woman's department in the ma
tional Office.
Each state should endeavor to elect
at least one woman as a member of its
state committee, or state executive COM
mittee, as the case may be.
Each state should elect a woman state
correspondent, whose duty it is to rem
der all possible assistance to the local
womans committees and to make re-
ports of the progress and condition of
the woman's work in her state to this
office. To facilitate cooperation be-
tween her work and that of the state
secretary, wherever possible she should
be elected from the same city as that in
which the office of the state secretary
is located. She should be supplied with
a list of the local secretaries, and with
stationery and stamps from the state Of

about the only organization and the Ap-

that have much to say about it, and
some day the workers will wake up to
find that the kidnapped men have been
