OURANT UNION DEPOT
CASE UNDER AMUSEMENT

Oklahoma City, June 13.-Hearing
on the Durant union depot case was
had before the corporation commits
sion and the matter has been taken
under adyisement. This case has
been of long life, having been in the
supreme court at one time and re-
manded to the commission for further
hearing. Jewel Hicks, an architect
of Durant, appeared and explained
the wishes OF the people of that city
in the form of plans he has drawn
as a substitute for those offered by
the two railroads involved, the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas and the ST.
Louis and San Francisco. The depot
wanted by the people of Durant is
larger than that suggested by the
railroads and is claimed to be OF
better appearance. Its proposed cost
is $4,000.
There was some objection on the
part OF railroad attorneys to the hear
ing being held at this time, owing
to alleged inadequate notice. When
the record was produced by Commits
sioner Henshaw to show that notice
had been given. it was explained that
the railroads were of the opinion the
hearing under consideration was to
be an informal conference.

FIRST AID TO INJURED

CBy f.. p. Marsh President Washing
ton State Federation of Labor
Seattle has been host to several
national gatherings during the past
few months out doubt if any of them
held the Importance, at least to labor,
as the one that will convene in that
city the Goth of next month. ! refer
to the National Association of Indus
trial Accident Boards and Commits
sions of the United States
am in receipt of letter from
Chairman Daggett of the Industrial
Insurance Commission of this state, in
which my attention is called to this
convention, and the wish expressed
that workmen engaged in hazardous
occupations avail themselves of the
opportunity to attend the open ses.
sions of this convention.
On the evening of October / it is
planned to have first aid" demon

a stereopticOn lecture by DR.. Tolman,

as one of the greatest living authori-
ties on accident prevention and has
devoted many years to work along
that line both in this country and
Europe
The lack of understanding Of the
simplest methods of first aid" care
of injuries among many workmen is
almost unbelievable. The industrial
insurance commission during the last
fiscal year paid out $4,000 in claims
due to infection caused by an utter
lack of first aid" care of wounds.
The Commission estimates that in
nearly all such cases infection might
have been prevented had the fellow
workmen of those injured possessed
the rudimentary knowledge of first
aid" treatment. Four deaths occur
red during the year due to infection
which might have been prevented in
, the opinion of the Commission. The
Commission estimates that $4,000 an
nually in awards might be saved to
industry by the proper application of
representatives. pending care of the in
jured workmen by a competent ply
stefan. If $4,000 in awards might be
saved annually to employers, who can
compute the lost time and suffering to
the injured? We have always contend

pensatiOn legislation was not to pay
awards but to prevent as TAR as was

ADOPTS RESOLUTION
ON IMPRISONMENT

The Central Labor Council of Ana
cortes has adopted the following reso
luton against the Imprisonment OF
workers:
Whereas, The unemployment demon
stration held in Anacortes, in August
eliminated in the unwarranted and il
legal arrest of two members of or
ganized labor, they being kidnapped
and taken to the county seat without
a warrant, and
Whereas, To suffer this invasion of
our civil rights would be a recession
to the dark ages, and
Whereas, The ordinary civil rights
of the workers are considered of no
Importance by the authorities, and
Therefore. Be it resolved by the
Anacortes Central Labor Council that
we denounce the method of arrest of
these two brothers, and
Be 1t Further Resolved, That we
call upon all liberty-loving citizens,
regardless of partisanship in this mat
ter, to unite in demanding an investi-
CATION of these arrests and the
charges, and
Be It Further Resolved, That we
send copies of this resolution of all
Central Federated bodies and to the
Labor Commissioner.

ably occurred to restore the workman
to health and earning capacity within
the briefest possible time. We are
insistent that where accidents occur
to men listed under the act that the

TIMBER INDUSTRY ACCIDENTS
Glass 10, the timber industry, is the
largest numerical class under the law
and one of the most hazardous. 1t
has been found that many accidents
occur in the woods, followed by in
lection and other complications, the
serious results of which are due d.
rectly to the lack of knowledge of how
to treat the injured before physician
can arrive or the injured be removed
to a hospital The efficiency of the
mine rescue and first aid work per
formed by the coal miners in this
state drew the attention of the Com
mission to the possibilities of lessen
ing the evil results of accidents in the
timber industry by education of the
workmen in the A B C of first aid
treatment. Months ago Commissioner
Parker took up this phase of the work
He realized that the employers must
be aroused to the necessity of CO.
operating with the workmen in this
work He reasoned that if the en-
ployer could be taught the economic
waste in his line of losing the serv-
ices of competent wOrkmen through
lack of fundamental knowledge, what
it cost him finally to pay out assess
ments needlessly for the treatment of
injured, that the first step in the cam
paign would have been taken.
Fortunately. some months ago Dr..
Lipscomb, a physician working under
the direction of the National Red
Cross Society, was detailed to this
state Choosing the industrial con-
Germs in the timber industry which
were favorable to experimentation
along the line of first aid" education,
DR.. Lipscomb, working in conjunction
with the Industrial Insurance Commits
sion, began a series of demonstrations

the state. His was no dry, Latin

theories, but a demonstration of what

ACCIDENT PREVENTION

Accident prevention work, first aid
for the injured and the merit rating
system, under which an employer u.s.
ing all possible forms of safeguard
would be entitled to a better accident
rating than his less careful cOmpeti-
tor, are features upon the program ar
ranged by Chairman Floyd l.. Dag
gett of the industrial insurance COM
mission for the annual meeting at Sc
attic, Sept 30-Oct 2, of the National
Association of Industrial Accident
Boards and Commissions. This asso-
citation is made up of representatives
from the commissions of all states
which have workmen's compensation
acts.
There were 1,423 accidents, includ-
ing 81 fatalities, reported to the in
dustrial insurance commission during
August, the largest number of any
month for this year, but the total for
the eight months of 1915 is only $40
as compared with 10,069 during the
corresponding eight months of 1914,
and 11109 during the same eight
months of 1913, indicating a steady de-
crease in the accident rate in the last
two wears.

for the United States Commission on
Industrial Relations.
The Commission has made public
the first section of the Manly report.
The remaining sections will be made
public as soon as they leave the hands
of the printer, and the report in full
will then be transmitted to congress.
1t was accepted and ordered printed
by resolution of the full Commission,
and is signed by Frank p. Walsh,
chairman of the Commission, and by
Commissioners John B. Lennon, James
O'Connelland Austin B. Garretson.
AS a paramount necessity, if the
nation is to remedy the evils found to
exist by the Commissions staff, the
report urges action that will remove
the many eXitsing obstacles which
prevent effective organization and CO
operation" by wage-earners, and that
will thereby bring about a democratic
Organization of industry along the
lines of trade union activity.
The crux of the whole question of
industrial relations is declared to be
shall the workers, for the protection
of their interests, be organized and
represented collectively by their cho
sen delegates, even as the stockhold
ers are represented by their directors
and by the various grades of execu
tive officials and bosses"
Mr.. Manly's report is based on the
research and field work of members
of the staff, whose point of view is
that of impartial investigators, and
upon testimony at the public hearings
conducted by the Commission in four
teen principal cities and industrial
centers of the United States. These
hearings occupied in all 154 days and
total of TAO witnesses were heard.
OF these g30 were affiliated with en-
ployers, 245 with labor and 265 were
not affiliated with either group. Where
interests are affected, statements of
fact are based entirely on the testi-
mony of those witnesses whose inter
ests might be regarded as adversely
affected.

CENSUS FIGURES REVEAL
DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS

The National Child Labor Commit
tee has just completed a compilation
of child labor statistics from the last
federal census and reports that about
100000 children under 16 are employ
ed in manufacturing and mechanical
occupations, 10000 in mining and 3OO,'
600 in other kinds of non-agricultural
work.
In a statement accompanying these
figures the committee says: The cen
sus figures give us a new argument
for federal child labor law, for while
many thousands of these children are
employed in states whose child labor
laws have already established the
standards we propose, the figure
show that we have been underestimate
ing the numbers of children who would
be affected by it, More than $4,000
children would be eliminated from in
dustry at once by the 14-year limit in
factories and the 16-year limit in
mines; that our bill would apply to all
places whose products are shipped in
interstate commerce; and at least an
other 100000 children II and IS years
old would have their legal working
hours reduced by the bill.
Indirectly the bill would benefit
large proportion Of the 100000 chill
dren in other kinds of industrial work
since age limits and hours are more
easily regulated in stores and other
dards have been applied in factory

it up" 1t is stated that no employer
in whose plant or camp a demonstra-
ton has been given, but has become

adequate first aid care nor has failed
to enlist in the campaign to bring
other employers into line. The mo-
tives of most employers may be Who'll

at least results count. | know how
blunts the moral sensibilities of EN-
ployers but | cannot help but believe
that the human side of employers is
not wholly dead. Success in any line
of endeavor is infectious and it seems
to me that the employer would be lost

side of this work and lend hand for
the sake of conserving life and limb
as well as stopping the waste from his

have said times without number that
we are not so interested in the none
tary award feature as we are in max
ing industry safe. Ex-Governor Had
ley of Missouri well expressed it years
ago when he delivered what I consider
to be the Alpha and Omega of indus
trial insurance. He said:
Inc vile VI ulOluti VI bhC NoSO
worker is not so interested in receiv-
ing a paltry twenty or thirty dollars
month from the state for the loss of
her provider. She does want to see
the husband and father come up the
garden walk just after the six o'clock
whistle has sounded, swinging his dim
ner bucket, whistling a tune or call
ing out a word of CHEEKY greeting to
the waiting loved ones"
And so | hope that all those who
can, both employers and employees,
will take advantage of the coming op-
portunity to hear the foremost ply
sicians in this country speak upon the
all-important subject of saving the
lives, limbs and health of the great
toiling army.
