INDUSTRIAL SAFETY.
Measures Pending In Congress For
Protection of Workers.

There are two bills now pending in
congress calling upon the federal au-
thority to take part in the general
movement for industrial safety. One
is the Mann bill introduced by the Re
publican congressman from Illinois,
and the other is the Bremner bill in
troduced by President Wilson's long
time friend and coworker in New Jer-
sey.
The Mann bill provides for the crea-
ton of "a bureau of labor safety (un-
der a commissioner to make general
and special investigation and exami-
nation of labor safety plans and de
vices of all kinds and to make public
the results of such investigation and
examination
The Bremner bill provides for prac-
tically the same things as are included
in the Mann bill. But in addition it
calls for a museum of safety and a
laboratory wherein may be examined
and tested the relative efficiency of
types of guards or other devices for
the protection of machinery calculated
to safeguard the employee or the gen
eral public from injury or industrial
| disease Congressman Bremner feels
that such a headquarters where meth
DDS from all industries in all sections
can be investigated will react power
| fully on progress toward industrial
| safety. In addition to the officials of
| the bureau of industrial safety the
| bill provides for the appointment OF
an advisory board of twenty directors
| selected from the chief industrial cen
| ters Of the United States who are to
| serve without pay.
| 1t is understood that the president
has expressed bis approval of the
| Bremner bill as an administration
measure. 1t is singularly in line with

BUSSORAH A FILTHY TOWN.
A Visit to the Apocryphal Home OF
Sindbad the Sailor.

We were on our way to Bussorah,
Sindbad the Sailor. Russorah is the
seaport of Bagdad. from which it is
distant about 500 miles by river.
Bussorah in the summer is nothing
ess than fiery furnace. for the ther-
mometer registers more than 100 tie
grees f. in the shade during l2O con
secutive days. and the lnean tempera-
ture night aud day. for upwards OF
four months. is about % degrees.
Malarial fevers. dysentery and ague
are prevalent. and the town is ire
quently visited by plague and cholera,
and yet. thanks to the cool winter and
prevailing north winds, the place Is
not essentially unhealthy for those
who are accIimatized.
The habits and wants of the popu-
lation are simple and are likely to re-
main SO for some time to come. but
the sanitary state OF the town is de-
porabe. The creeks, which are tidal.
supply it With drinking water, but are
used indiscriminately for all house
hold purposes. and the .stench arising
from them at low water is overpow-
ering.
The governor general of the province
of Bussorah had his private residence
in the upper story Of tlimsy lath and
plaster editice overlooking the main
road The walls of his house could not
have been more than six inches thick
and it was full of windows. The
ground floor seemed to be stable and
was occupied by goats.

POWER OF ORGANIZATION.
Employers UnwittingIy Promote the
Growth of Labor Unions.

The management of most of the non
union plants today are unwittingy
doing their best to force their employ
ees into unions. The conditions IN
these places are usually ten hour
day, wages slightly lower than the
union scale. time and quarter for
overtime and straight time for Sun
days and holidays. These conditions
alone furnish the organizers with all
the necessary ammunition. and they
say, Join us and get an eight hour
day, higher wages, time n a - half 70"
overtime and double time ~ sundays
and holidays" To prove the case they
point to conditions in nearby union
shops. Can the workmen be bIamed
for listening. for becoming convinced
and for making demands?
A few years ago a machine shop
working a ten hour day in a section
where eight hours were the rule was
making a desperate fight to keep from
becoming unionized. However. about
75 per cent Of the employees belonged
to the union and then sent delegation
to the management to ask for 10 per
cent increase in pay. After a protract
ed session an increase of 10 per cent
was granted, but no increase was Civ
en- to the nonunion men. The dele
gates sympathized with these men. but
said. of course we could not press
your case, as you do not belong with
us" Six months later there was not q
nonunion man in the place, and the
management was called upon for a
further increase in wages, an eight
hour day and other concessions, all
of which were granted. Engineering

Value of Union Printers, Home.

Just prior to relinquishing the posi-
ton of superintendent Of the Union
Printers home Charles Deacon made
a complete inventory of the institu-
ton, which is as follows: The real es-
tate is valued at $109,215.S7; the build
ings are valued at $184, 4,743.47. With
the furniture and fixtures and other
necessary things to properly conduct
the home, the total valuation Of the
property was 1855, 766.77. The inyen-
tory previous to this one was made in
March 1907, and S253,911.5S was the
total valuation of the home property.
The increase in value in six and one
half years therefore is S101 ,865.19.

next year the rate viii increase 81 all
around, and the 1917 scale will be $27

Stockholders Liable For Wages.

The appellate term of the New York
supreme court has decided that the
stockholders of a corporation are liable
to a bookkeeper employed by the cor
poration for the payment of his salary.
The suit was brought by William Far
mum against stockholders of the Wish
art-Dayton Auto Truck company. The
stockholders resisted the suit on the
ground that the law doesn't hold them
liable for bookkeepers' wages. The APP
pellate term reversed decision in fa-
for of the stockholders and said that
under the law they are liable for mon
ey due to all employees except con
tractors and that under fair, honest
and sensible" view of the law this in
cludes bookkeepers.
