The national council for Industrial
safety. with central headquarters in
Chicago and branches to be estab-
lIshed in all manufacturing cities,
should prove TO be one OF the great
est boons TO the Industrial workers
Of this country, of whom 1900, ,0O0
are annually injured and $4,000
killed. This council is to act as a
clearing house for all sorts OF safety
first" ideas. plans and appartus.
When a new mandatory opening up
wishes information on safety first"
It will find the files OF the council ac-
cessible. The work will be special
ized as to the different trades and
careful tab kept on every invention
and experiment
The Chicago Tribune in Its Where
we Will there's way" column in
setting forth the scope OF this proIec;
says: There are 5000, 200 humble
homes in the United States, in each
of which the establishment OF this
office and the announcement OF the
work should be the biggest piece OF
news in a generation" II is esti-
mated that at least 10000 lives q
year can thus be saved. Such state
ments are reasonably based on what
has been done wherever systematic
life-proteoting movements have been
carried on, A single western rail-
road by such a movement in one year
reduced its number OF killed from asa
to 24s and injured from 10000 to
Ills. Railroads are cooperating
In this new enterprise and yet, large
as Is the number OF railroad casual
ties---many OF which are due TO tress'
passing-those OF other industries
are far greater. AS a matter OF con-
science industries should cooperate
In such a movement, but as a matter
of economy they will, for they have
learned the lesson OF carelessness al
the cost OF millions OF dollars.
