II Per Cent
10 2S0

"These figures, which are in har-
inOny with other impartial investiga-
lions along the same lines, show that
accidents due to the fault of employ
ers and employers agents amount to
less than l per cent of the total, while
the accidents due to the fault of the
employees themselves amount to ten
per cent of the total. BY far the great
err proportion of accidents are due to
the risks that are apparently unavoid-
able and inseparable from the trade.
Personally, l believe that many of
such accidents can and will be pre-
vented through the enforcement of
safety rules, education of the workers
and improved devices for protecting
dangerous machinery and of conduct
ing hazardous operations. In this,
however, l find the employers taking
just as active interest as the employ
ees, if for no other reason than that
it is to their advantage to do so.
Nov, in the light of the actual
conditions as proved by the figures
above quoted, it is easy to understand
why I do not favor the initiative first
aid bill No. 8. That bill places all
responsibility upon the employer for
all accidents and levies all assess
ments against him for compensation
have any say in the disposition of the
funds so raised. In addition it places
no limit on the amount that may be
paid out for first aid, in spite Of the
fact that continuous payment will be
received at the same time under the
provisions of the present compensa-
ton law.
This law, would, therefore, levy
double assessment on the employer
and deprive him of all rights or op-
portunity to guard against unprinci.
pied dissipation of the funds through
collision with dishonest physicians.
Such collision is not likely to occur
frequently, but there should be some
adequate provision to prevent the pos
sibility of it ever occurring.
1.-The first aid problem will never
be settled until it is dealt with hon
estly and without prejudice, and a
bill, such as initiative measure No. 8,
will only result in doing harm to the
best interests of the employees, be-
cause it is neither honest nor fair
1t would impose an excessive, and in
many cases a prohibitive tex, on the
industries of Washington, and would

sents Facts and Figures.
A student of industrial conditions,
who has gained considerable promin-
ence because of his pronounced views
in support of advanced legislative
ideas, expressed himself as strongly
opposed to initiative measure No. 8,
on the grounds that it's total disregard
for the rights and interests of the
employers endangers the whole pro-
gram of remedial and preventive legis-
.ation dealing with industrial accidents
and conditions. Pointing out the fact
that the bill is based on the false
theory that industrial accidents are
entirely due to the fault of the en-
ployer he said:
mo sane or honest person will for
a moment attempt to maintain that
all accidents that OCCUR in industrial
pursuits are due to the carelessness
or Indifference of employers. In fact,
any one who has given the slightest
consideration to this subject, knows
that the accidents that can be charged
to the fault of the employer or the
employers agents are but a small
fraction of the total accidents that
occur in industrial pursuits.
GAS convincing evidence of how bad
ly mistaken, or prejudiced, the franz
ers of initiative measure No. 9 are in
regard to placing all the blame for
accidents on the employer, 1t is in
teresting to take the report of the
state industrial insurance commission,
dealing with this very question Of
port, published in 1918, shows as fol-
lows:

EARTHQUAKE KILLS 100 AND
WIPES TOWNS OUT

AcireaIe, Sicily, May 9.-At least
100 persons were killed and as many
more injured as a result of the ter
rife earthquake which shook score
of towns and villages in this section
last night.
Reports of dead and injured pour
ed in upon the authorities here to-
day and every effort was being made
to care for refugees. The village of
Bougiardo alone reports ten dead and
twenty injured Two towns with a
population of 1000 or more were
completely destroyed. Hundreds of
houses in other towns were wrecked.
Acireale, a seaport town, is well
built on height at the base of Mt
Etna and every road leading to the
city today was =choked with sobbing,
praying refugees fleeing from their
homes.
Linera, with population of 952,
and Venerina, a town Of 2, 1873, were
completely destroyed.
Mt. Etna, which showed signs OF
an eruption about two weeks ago,
was still active today.
The entire population Of hundreds
of villages at the base of the vol
canO had deserted the towns today
and fed to the open country, fearing
a disastrous eruption of the volcano
as well as further earthquakes.
