Accidents are becoming so common
in Delaware sawmills that an agitat-
ion has been started to make the use
of safety appliances a necessity
The ordinary country sawmill. erected
in the miudle of some tract of timber
is in unsafe affair at the best. No
safety appliances are used at all and
the saver is liable to have an arm,
or hand cut off at the least misstep
or slip. Many farmers go around
minus a finger or two as evidence OF
their having woked in a country saw
mill some time in their youth. Safety
appliances are made necessary by law
in the city factories. and the move
ment is now taking form TO have sim.
liar laws affect the country mill.
