AReasOnable Demand

men by keeping them on the road
long hours.
If the demand of the men for an
eight hour day, with payment of
time and one-half for overtime, is
granted, the railroads will see to it
that there is very little overtime
and will move their trains faster, and
if necessary make shorter trains to
get them over the road quicker and
cut out all necessary delays.
1t is claimed by some railroad Of
ficials that it is impossible to make
100 miles at the rate Of 1871 miles
per hour, but this claim is offset by
the fact that twenty-four railroads in
the United States are now on 12h
miles per hour basis and it is i'm
portant to know that none of them
are in the hands of receivers, which
is good proof that it is not not cost
ing these railroads any considerable
amount to speed up their trains and
give their men an eight hour day.
1t is vital to the interest Of mer-
chants and manufacturers of this
country that merchandise be trans
ported as expeditiously as possible
and the hours saved in transporta-
ton means that the merchandise
gets in the hands of the consumers
just so much sooner, which means
more rapid turnover in stocks and
greater consumption of manufac-
tured products.
If this thing of heavy and more
powerful locomotives, cars of great
er capacity and longer trains reaches
anything like the proportions pre-
dicted by prominent railway officials,
such as President Willard of the B.
& o. Railroad, the shipping of mer-
chandise will go back to what it was
in the old days of the prairie schoon-
er and stage coach, so far as time
required in transportation is con-
cerned, as the tendency of railway
operation is toward increasing the
capacity of trains, rekardless of the
time required to move over the road.
The hours now lost in the slow
movement of freight, if saved, would
mean millions to the commercial in
terests of the United States.
This question of an eight hour day
for train crews should come right
home to all shippers and receivers of
freight

TRADE UNIONIsM LEADS

Toronto, Ont.-"One only needs to
understand the great principles for
which trade unionsm has always
stood, says the Industrial Banner,
when single handed it has had to
fight for reforms before they had yet
become popular, to fully realize the
broadness of its democracy and the
great influence it has exercised for
good in the world While organized
labor has agitated for and secured
shorter hours of labor, higher rates
of wages, and has vastly improved
the industrial conditions of the army
of toilers, it has also championed those
principles of reform that must in
evitably evolve a wider and a freer
social atmosphere
Viewed in the light OF what it actu-
ally advocates and stands for the de-
mocracy of the trade union movement
is not even open to question Labor
always has been and is today,
leader in the great battle for equity
liberty and real reform"

OCCUPATIONAL ILLS
CAUSE HEAVY LOSS

Westerville, O.-Deaths from pre-
ventable causes among the working
men alone in this country total 25O,-
900 yearly, accordingto DR., E. r. Hay
hurst, who spoke at the state health
exhibit at this place. He is a special
list on this subject, and investigates
occupational diseases for the board of
health and the state industrial COM
mission.
DR.. Hayhurst defined "occupational
disease" as ill-health which results
from working. Ordinarily, work should
make good health and lengthen life,
but work under bad conditions or in
the wrong way or when exposed to
poisons has the opposite effect.
He emphasized the point that more
than half of the people who work for
wages or salary lose their lives from
causes which may and should be
revented-enumerati as the chief
factors, tuberculosis, pneumonia, ty-
phoid fever, accidents and poisoning.
There are 100000 cases of indus
trial illness annually.
DR.. Hayhurst enumerated as the
chief causes of occupational diseases:
Dust, coitinuaI breathing of which
leads to tuberculosis, pneumonia and
like diseases, causes eczema and sore
eyes, and which could be prevented
in most work places by change of
methods, installation of vent pipes,
wet sweeping and the like; dirt and
disorder, which breed uncleanliness,
depression and immortality; improper
illumination, which produces a vast
amount of headache and fatigue, the
true cause Of which is generally new
er suspected air, which usually
can be labeled as too warm. too dry
sometimes also loaded with dust.
smokes. fumes, gases or vapors; ex-
posure to high temperature which
causes early Old age and which in up

cold, where the worker is not properly
clothed, or works in damp air, or

is the most common cause of occu-
patOnal diseases, and inactivity, on
the other hand, where the worker sits

Proper sanitary surroundings will

etc, which are directly disseminated
through industry.
There are also certain diseases of
which tuberculosis and rheumatism

-dampness, darkness, devitalized air,
physical inactivity and fatigue are
illustrations of such conditions
