10000 WORKERS
KILLED EACH YEAR
Federation of Labor Adds
That Fevers Cost u. S.
S9OO,OOO,OO0 Annually.

Washington, Sept 3.-Frank Morri-
son, secretary Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, made public tonight
the following statement in review OF
the labor situation:
at is impossible TO record funda-
mental gains during the last year, be-
cause of organized labor's agitation, or
TO individualize probable gains during
the year to come.
THE best we can do is TO observe
tendencies. Prominent among these is
the workers seizure of the cry Tor
preparedness TO emphasize a danger IN
industry more deadly than battleiieIds'
Government statistics show that
10000 men are annually killed and
100000 arc annually injured for
period of four weeks or over.
Cost of Typhoid Fever.
at has been stated that every year
Their. are over 100000 cases OF IN
dnstrial illness. caused mainly by long
hours. low wages, dust, bad air, fumes
smoke. poisonings and poor ventilation
and that through typhoid fever and
malaria alone 5000 900, 900 is annually
lost to this nation. Enough to equip
the largest army and navy in the
world and then have balance SUI
hcient to pay the tuition of every boy
now in college.
"A system of national preparedness
tho, does not include recognition OF
this frightful and preventable wastage
is the preparedness urged by Dig pusi,
ness. A morality that ignores these
facts and condemns war Is Daseu vi
meaningless phrases. a..
"Another present-dsy tendency is tne
acceptance of organized labor's position
on immigration restriction. During Vhe
last wear the acid test OF experience
has verified the claim of trade unions
tina, American institutions cannot as
simulate nor American living standarus
yesist the food lids OF induced iii
migration that has been the policy OF
captains of industry. Information ana
reports received by the otticers OF tne
American Federation OF Labor clearly
domonstrate the fact that a LABOR
famine exists only where employers
still demand long hours at low wageS
and where they ignore the living s'ahu-
ards set by the workers.

Gambler Named as Partner.

The Tammany politician whose name
figures in the inquiry is declared to be
the owner of one Of these hotels, hav-
inc as his partner a notorious gambler
whose name figured prominently in the
Becker case. The latter is undersB
TO have furnished the money TO operate
the house, the politicians part being
to furnish the necessary protection.
He has not been powerful enough to
avoid trouble with the police, but the
authorities on the other hand have been
unable to obtain a conviction against
him.
Not all the hotels involved so far are
of the cheapest class, though in the
cases Of the better class Of p aces there
has been nothing developed to. show
that the proprietors have any knowl-
edge of what was going on.

Other girl witnesses have told similar

that many Of the houses had DEFINITE
