Fire and Accident Pre-
vention Day Observed

it is worth the expenditure. All NOV
ing belts have been guarded feet
from the floor; gearing in the ma
chine shop and other machinery has
been guarded be, ond any possibility
Of accident OF injury. Heavy safety
goggles have been provided for the
eyes SO that the danger from hot
metal, Stag and flying particles has
been practically eliminated. A spec
ial form of respirator devised by Mr..
Halsel, storekeeper at the plant, is
Furnished the men who work in dusty
places. Electric equipment Of high
voltage is carefully guarded and
danger signs posted. Automatic saw
guards are placed on circular saws,
protecting employees from injury.
When a new man is hired, foremen
give him booklet pointing out the
dangers he is likely to encounter and
If he cannot read English, pains are
taken to have these rules translated
to him in his own language.
This work has been greatly appre.
ciated by the men and u most hearty
cooperation Of the Management is
the result. Mr.. Rosseter also claimed
that since the prohibition law went
into effect the tendency to accidents
had been decreased over 30 per cent.
Mr.. Harry Jackson, vice president
of the Automobile Club, was the next
speaker, devoting his time to the
new motor ordinance. He criticised
this severely. especially in regard to
the speed limit, which the motor club
believes should be Is miles instead OF
20 miles per hour. He censured the
practice Of delivery trucks going
thru muddy streets at high speed
splashing mud on passers by. Dim
mers should be insisted upon here
as in other places all over the coun-
try. While Durango has had very
few accidents, the increase in auto
mobiles and inexperienced drivers
will increase the risk in the future
enormously. Lowering the speed
limit in the school zones was urged.
The passing of street cars when dis
charging or receiving passengers
should be regulated.
Mr.. Jackson was frank in stating
that doubtless experienced drivers
could handle their machines without
undue regulation, but that he for ono
was willing to comply with the or
dinances along with the inexperienc-
ed drivers, who are the greatest me-
mace to both automobiles and pedes-
trians.
Fire and Accident Prevention Day
is being celebrated in all the large
cities Of the country, and Durango
is to be complimented on falling in
line with modern ideas in this respect
as well as others. Meetings of this
kind are of the utmost value in edu
eating our peole to the need of care
and in fact are one of the main items
in the great preparedness program
that the American people have un-
dertaken, both in government and
private affairs.

WEEKLY REPORT OF NEW
YORK METAL MARKET
Copper

Copper
A fair foreign business was done
at about the same prices as in the
previous week. Many important do
mestic manufacturers have not yet
booked the copper that they are nor
mally expected to require in the first
quarter of 1917 and it is the general
belief among the producers that the
copper market has not yet responded
to the change in statistical position
produced by the recent large sales
to the foreign governments.
Lead.
A good business was done, but not
so much as in the previous week.
Lead for October delivery not pre-
viously contracted for continues ex-
tremely scarce.
This market improved from day to
day.
Silver.
Considerable silver is being ship
ped from San Francisco to China,
but in general the market has been
quiet.
Quotations.
Silver, Oct. IL. 81 5-Sc per OF.

ed insurrection rather than labor set
tlement. They encouraged violence
instead of furnishing industrial
peace and protection. For six years
they promised compensation law
and passed none. They constantly
complained of crooked weighing
scales, non-enforcement of the Child
Labor and Eight Hour laws, but
never prosecuted a single case of
violation. They promoted antago-
nisms between worker and employer
rathe. than their mutuality of intac-
est.
What has this administration done
for Labor? 1t has provided oppor-
tunity for steady employment in the
coal mines as well as other indus
tries during the past two years.
1t passed the Industrial Relations
and Workmen's Compensation laws.
Under these laws more safety de-
vices have been installed in perilous
industries during the past two years
than in the preceding ten. During
this period the Industrial Commits
sion has settled so labor disputes
without friction or loss of pay and
time and with equal justice to the
parties involved. Under these laws,

for women and girls in mercantile
Establishments; enforced the law
prohibiting the employment Of chill
dren under Id and 16 years of age;
Lie enforced the Eight Hour law OH
the employment of women IN laun-
dries, hotels, restaurants and mer-
camille establishments; have enforced
the law limiting the hours of en-
ployment in underground work; have
effectively enforced the law compell-
ing honest coal mine weighing scales.
During the administration the four
free employment bureaus have Sc
cured for men and women an aver
age of 2,400 jobs month, entirely
free to the employer and seeker of
employment. The number of jobs Sc
cured for laborers during these IS
months is equal to that secured by
our predecessors during their six
years in office.
An average Of $4,000 a month has
been collected in wages or from
claims amounting from 81 up to $500
aad $400, without cent of cost to
the claimants.
Employers insured under the pres
ent compensation law are paying
$800,O00 a year in premiums. OF this
amount, 60 per cent, or $520,000 a
year, is actually paid to the injured
workers and their families.
Under the old Common law system
Colorado employers paid $560,000 a
year in premiums; only A 1-2 per
cent Of these premiums, or S249,0O0,
was paid in losses. OF this $249,000
certainly not more than two-thirds,
or $166,000, ever reached the injured
man or his dependents, for the at
torneys got anywhere from Is to 30
per cent of the settlement.
Under the Compensation Law,
therefore, the injured working men
and their families are now getting
$4,000 a year, as compared with
the Sl66,000 they would have got
ten if the old liability system were
in effect,
The administration passed the
absent voters law, and thus actually
enfranchised railroad conductors, en-
gineers, firemen and brakemen.
We encouraged the installation of
the chair of safety and efficiency
engineering in the State School Of
Mines, the first chair of its kind
in any institution in the
United States.
We have encouraged and amply
the State University in its
extension activities in the industrial
and other communities.
We propose to reduce the waiting
period in accident cases from three
weeks to two weeks; to provide mine
rescue cars in those sections Of the
state where the operators cannot af
ford them.
This administration accepted q
frightful heritage of passion and
hate from the preceding Democratic
administration, but we are glad and
proud to report that not one life or
one dollars worth Of property have
been the prey of industrial violence
during the past two years. We pro
pose to emphasize and to continue
the policy of equal and exact law
enforcement in the future as we have
in the past.
