MANY HURT AROUND
MOVING MACHINERY
Commissioner of Labor Tells of
Large Number of Accidents
To Worlmen.

: The campaign being conducted by
w. F. Houk, State Commissioner of
labor, in behalf of accident preven-
ton is exciting statewide interest.
Men in factories, workshops, mines
and on railroads are reading the bull
letins issued by the State Department
Of labor, which advise all working
men and women to be- exceedingly
cautions and to take no unnecessary
chances.
1T is remarkable the number of
accidents that occur to employees
engaged in cleaning or repairing NOV
ing machinery" said Mr.. Houk.
Pages have been printed about this
type of care]essness. and warnings in
Vulnerable (bOth spoken and written)
have been sounded, yet worknen,
careless, indifferent, lazy or forget
full, will continue to take a chance
and attempt to do these things with
out taking the little time necessary
to stop the machinery.

CITY SHOULD MEET:
F|REMEN HALF WAY
Two Platoon System Can Be e.
tablished In Less Time Than
Three Years.

1t is evident that the city commits.
sloners are trying to put the firemen
on the defensive. The members of
the fire department have succeeded
In getting several thousand names to
their petition for an initiative or
dinance to establish the two platoon
system. When the. commissioners
found that there was tremendous
sentiment in the city in favor Of
granting better conditions to CITY
firemen, they asked to meet a COM
mittee at which meeting it was
proposed that the city be given three
years to establish the two platoon
system.
Their plan was to add $4,000 to the
annual appropriation for the fire de-
partment each year. At the end of
three years the $4,000 necessary to
install the double platoon system
would then be available. The money
appropriated each year would be used
in employing additional men, and the
tlrement would get extra days off"
pending the installation of the double
platoon system.
After this proposition was made
the firenen submitted counter
proposition in which they expressed
a Willingness to let the matter 20
until July, 1917, at which time the
double platoon system would become
effective. 1t is publicly stated that
the flremen's last proposition is not
acceptable to the commissioners and
now they are willing that the matter
shall go to the people.
There is no necessity for either side
to be stubborn about this question.
Inc people want the firemen, whom
they employ, to be given better con-
dltlons, and they are willing to pay
for it. The thing to do is to ascertain
now quickly the new system can be
put into effect.
The commissioners cannot figure
out where they can get money earlier
than three years to employ the extra
1lremen necessary to establish the
double platoon system. Mr.. Silber.
stein stated to the men that if thew
forced the issue there would be moth
ing to prevent him from cutting their
wages down as low as $50 a month.
Ihls must not happen. Commissioner
s1lberstein cannot afford to permit
1t to happen. There should be a COM,
mon meeting ground somwhere.
Neither side can afford to be
arbitrary.
The best interests of the city de-
mand that the firemen be granted
the double platoon system at the
earliest possible moment. Surely it
can be figured out so that the sys-
tenn can be put into operation earlier
than three years.
1t is folly to talk about inducing
the people to vote to increase the
tax levy. They will do nothing of the
kind. It is costing too much to run
the city. The pruning knife must he
used with keenness in every division.
Then if there is not money enough to
properly perform the work of the city
1t will be an easy matter to direct the
city assessor to further increase
valuations, particularly on outlying
property which has largely escaped
its just share of the cost.
