Quoted by the Industrial Board of the
Department of Labor and Industry
This plan to reduce the toll of indus
trial accidents in Pennsylvania, which
during the first six months of this
year, resulted in the killing of 954
workers and in the injuring of 100,2S7
others, will he vigorously conducted by
Otto T. Mallery and William Young,
members of the board, designated as a
committee for the promotion of this
work. The other members of the in
dustrial board are: Commissioner John
Price Jackson, chairman Mrs. Samuel
Semple and John p. Wood.
Mr.. Young who is president of the
Philadelphia Typographical Union, No.
2, and represents labor on the indus
trial board of the State, will bring
the safety campaign to the attention of
the labor unions in Pennsylvania and
Mr.. Mallery will further the work
among the heads of industrial plants.
At the last annual meeting of the
Pennsylvania Federation of Labor,
action was taken endorsing the plan
to form safety committees in every
local union.
The duties of members of these safety
committees will be to study safety
methods and to urge their fellow work
men to follow methods approved by
each safety committee and to assist in
organizing other safety committees
The safety committee of each local
union will study the safety standards
of the industrial board, applicable to
the occupation of the members of each
union, and make suggestions for i'm
provement of existing standards and
for the formation of additional stand
ards.
