and the result of this conference was
that the Governor called a conference
of the labor and industrial leaders.
The figures which the Governor OBJ
tanned were received through the re-
ports which the new compensation
law requires.
Thousand Accidents Daily
In opening the morning session
Governor Brumbaugh took occasion
to remark that in Pennsylvania, dur
ing the two months past, more than
1000 accidents have been reported
daily and that because of this he de-
cided a meeting of the leaders should
be held so that some change in exist
ing conditions could be made. Rec
ords of the State Department of Labor
and Industry show that in January
and February of this year 351 per-
sons were killed and 1853 injured in
Pennsylvania industrial establish
ments.
Governor Brumbaugh said:
There is no question but that the
mum ber of accidents can be reduced
10 perhaps one-fourth Of the present
number. | do not mean that this can

OF this meeting, but we can 90 from
here with the idea of doing our share
in solving this problem, and we can

that very much desired goal has been
attained.
Accidents Terrible Toll
Pennsylvania employers have been
quick to realize the value of safety
organizations. Employees have been
equally quick to respond to the de-
mand that they organize for self
protection and for the Succor of fell
low-workers. The result has been
udisputed leadership in the field OF
safety work. but there is so much
still TO be done that il seems that
little more than start has been
made.
Actual experience has shown that
where safety corps have been organ
lied, it has been possible within the
space of two years to reduce the num-
Der of accidents by about eighty per
cent. and to produce a corresponding
saving in money. We are all familiar
with the great hardship which an ac-
cident entails. 1t means to the fam
ily the striking down of the bread
winner; the curtailment, If not the

WashOut Hurls Train With
100 Persons Into Stream
.Stccial b the Tcltgrath

Washington, Pa, March 2S.-One
hundred passengers on the Waynes-
burg and Washington railroad mar
rowly escaped drowning ten miles
south of here yesterday, when their
train struck a washout, which de-
rallied the engine and four cars. The
train was in seven feet of water, and
relief train from Waynesburg could
not get within 100 yards.
All the passengers were rescued on
improvised RATS, when it seemed that
several cars soon would be entirely
submerged. Railroad traffic on all
roads out of Washington was inter
rupted, streams in every section being
out OF their banks.

among trespassers was only per
cent.
