large employers of labor who are earn
estly trying to solve the problem of in
dustrial accidents, most of which are
preventable.
The problem of accidents and safety In
general was brought into strong relief at
the meeting last night when Franklin H.
Wentworth, of Boston, shocked the audi
ence by bringing out the general admis-
sion that few of those present knew where
the nearest fire box to their homes was or
how to give an alarm Mr.. Wentworth
said that the great majority of fires In
this country were caused by the careless
use of matches. Americans, he said were
the most careless people in the world
in dealing with matches. The result of
this CareleSSneSS, Mr.. W wentworth Sald,
Is the great number of fires accompanied
by loss OF life
Director Porter told of what is being
done by the Department Of Public Safety
to protect the lives and property of the
citizens of Philadelphia. Director Porter
spoke of the many improvements in traffic
regulations, which, he said, have reduced
the number of street accidents to large
extent, and to the fact that the theatres
of the city have been compelled to spend
100000 in insuring greater safety. Mr..
Porter, although he gave great praise to
the efficiency of Philadelphias firefighters,
said the equipment of the Fire Depart
ment in this city needed improvement.
He spoke of the defective engines held
in reserve, of antiquated fire boxes in
many parts of the city and of the de-
fective fire hose which firemen are COM
PEELED to use.
Mrs. Joseph r. Wilson. head of the
committee in charge of the weeks pro-
gram, made an appeal for greater care
in the prevention OF accidents and dis
ease due to carelessness. She said that
while the Government city State and
national, had its duty to perform in this
regard. 1t was up to the people to do
their share In exercising greater care
and Judgment in their homes, in their
places OF employment and in the street.
