L|FE-SAWNG APPARATUS
EXHIBIT TO Be URGED
Desired That All Nations Make
Contributions at
Worlds Fair.

Believing that an exhibit at the
Panama Pacific international exposi-
ton at San Francisco in 1915 Of the
various safeguards in use all over the
world TO lessen accidents in factories.
mines and other dangerous places
would be Of great value to commits
sioners OF labor and other students OF
accident prevention. l.. w Hatch OF
New York viii present resolution to-
morrow to the convention OF officials
OF bureaus OF labor. factory inspectors
and Industrial commissions meeting at
the Raleigh asking the body to petit
ton the directors OF the exposition for
the installation of such an exhibit.
The resolution will ask that the direct
ors OF San Francisco invite the civilized
nations OF the world TO send exhibits.
Adjourn to Hear Borah.
All resolutions TO be acted on by the
convention will probably be presented to
the body tomorrow afternoon. The meet
ing adjourned at noon today so that the
members might attend the Senate where
IL was expected that Senator Borah OF
Idaho would lead discussion OF the
eight-hour bill for employees on govern
ment work. Business session will be re-
sumed tonight at Z O'Clock in the oak
room of the Raleigh.
Workmen's compensation acts. casualty
insurance and state insurance were
warmly discussed this morning.
David Ross, commissioner OF labor OF
Illinois. led the discussion this morning.
He said in part:
There is none who deplores the great
number of accidents and fatalities occur
ring daily in factories and shops more
than !. but to entirely eliminate them 10
out of the question. One thing that must
be taken into consideration by this body
is that accidents will continue to occur,
and II is up 10 US to discuss some way to
properly compensate the injured or the
families Of the killed.
Hardship Is Worked.
MANY Of the state compensation acts
for employees undoubtedly work hard
ship on the employers. The casualty
companies have In many cases raised
their rates Accident insurance works all
right. but II is In cases of catastrophe that
the trouble comes. II a company carries
a casualty policy OF $4,000 and one man
is killed that amount is paid the company
and then to the family. OF the dead man,
but when several are killed at one time
the company still gets only the $4,000
and has TO pay the families OF several
men. In other words, IL is cheaper for
company to have its employees killed one
at time.
II think that q mutual insurance COM
pany OF the employees would help the sit
uation. Rates OF the casualty company
are too high and too much is lost n oivi-
dends and salaries to high officials. State
supervision would expedite tie payment
Of claims.
Roy X. Flanagan, director OF hotel IN
spection In Virginia, spoke on the work
of the inspectors and the results.

METAL TARIFF CHANGE
IS KILLED IN SENATE
Amendment Affecting Farming
Implements Beaten by
One Vote.

BY the close vote Of "a to 35 the Senate
today voted down an amendment to the
metal tariff bill placing a large number
Of farming implements on the free list
Practically all of the affirmative. votes
were cast by democratic senator's, blu,
several republican senators were absent
Smith of Georgia.
Charges and counter charges of play
ing politics flew across the aisles
separating the democrats and repub-
lieans when the bill was taken up. .
Pomerene. Amendment.
Senator Pomerene, democrat of Ohio,
offered an amendment taking machine
tools from the House free list and plac-
ing a duty of 90 per cent on them.
Il confess to being puzzled over the
status of affairs which the presentation
of this amendment introduces said Sem
ator Smoot, standpat leader of the finance
committee He went on:
Most of the machine tools manufac-
tured In this country are made in Ohio
and now we find the democratic senator
from that state proposing a duty when
the House made them free. 1t looks to
me like trying to play politics"
Sharply Replies to smoot.
The reply came from John Sharp Will
liams, also of the finance committee
II don't know anybody who could make
a charge Of playing politics on a tariff
bill with worse grace than the senator
from Utah." he said, sharply. He went
on to say that the democratic members
of the committee had given careful atten-
ton to the subject, and concluded that
the cut made by the House was too
drastic.
Charges Sectionalism.
Mr. Smoot charged that in other tariff
bills there would be still further instances
of playing politics. 1T is only part of a
program" he said. He referred to the
intention Of the democratic senators OF
making indigo free, which. he said, was
in the interest of the south. where many
cheap cottons are made.
That a charge of sectionalism should
be made in the interest of the south in
connection with tariff legislation Mr. VIII
liams declared to be astonishing. even
astounding
Up to this point all the democrats had
appeared favorable to the change. and
Mr.. Rayner of Maryland created SEN
sation when he declared against 1t. De-
claring for an unequivocal tariff for
revenue, he took the position that there
should be no change in the interest OF
any state. II have no use for that kind
of politics: l stand by the House bill,
he said.

BAN MAY Be PUT
ON F|RE-CRACKERs

Amendments to the fire prevention
code were approved by the committee
on construction and alteration of build
ings of the Common Council last night.
Captain C.. Albert Gasser, inspector
of combustibles and fire risks, who pre-
pared the amendments, explained them
TO the committee. 1t was decided to
introduce them at the meeting of the
council Friday night.
Among other things. the amendments
would legalize, If adopted. the rules of
the combustible bureau affecting the
sale and use of fireworks. the sale n
storage of gasoline and other infiam-
mable commodities, and the rules APP
plying to garages.
The combustibles bureau ruled this
year that there shall be no display or
discharge of fireworks in the city on
the Fourth of July, or any other time.
This is a companion measure to that
prohibiting the sale of fireworks In the
city limits.
The section that deals with garages
divides them into three kinds-private,
commercial and public garages-and
specifies certain rules for each. These
have been In effect for some time. but,
as a precaution, it was deemed adj
visable to put them in the shape of
an ordinance.
Section 46 of the amendments reads:
Rules and regulations adopted by the
inspector of combustibles n fire risks
and approved by the Board of Fire
Commissioners are hereby made a part
of this section of the fire-prevention
code. subject to the same penalties
prescribed for all other violations"
At the present time there is a law
prohibiting smoking In moving-picture
theatres. The amendments make such
"A provision. making 1t TO
smoke in film theatres, rarages, in GER
tain factories where infiammable ma
terial are stored, in department stores,
and in other establishments where
smoking may prove hazardous. AS a
further precaution there is this pro-
vision: Labels containing the words
dangerous and explosive shall be
affixed to every bottle, can or con-
tainer in which benzine, naphtha or
other explosive is sold at retail"
The section applying to the use and
sale of fireworks is important. 1t be-
gins: mo person shall discharge n
fre-crackers or fireworks of any de-
seription."
Another clause prohibits the manu-
facture of fireworks within the city
limits, and still another prohibits the
transportation through the city. or the
bringing into the city of dynamite or
fireworks of any description without
the consent of the inspector of COM
bnstibles and fire risks.
