FOR SAFETY IN
WAR INDUSTRIES
Protect Factory Soldiers, Says
Secretary RGdiiaId.
CASUALTY RISKS ARE LARGE

Safeguarding the Lives Of ToiIers as
important to the Nation as Taking
Care of the Men on the Firing Line.
An Appeal to Employers to Use Con-
stant and thoughtful Supervision.
The following letter has been sent by
Secretary Of Commerce Redfeld to
Franklin Webster. editor of Safety En-
cheering New York
/ think it may be truly said that two
facts become increasingly evident in
connection with our industries as the
war situation develops in this country.
The first is that every industry whose
products can contribute directly or in
directly to carrying on the war Will be
operated under intense strain. The
second Is that as the draft progresses
and men are called to arms there IS
likely to be an influx into the factories
Of inexperienced persons, including
probabls many women, unfamiliar
with the industries In which they may
become employees. Under these cir
cumstances there is of course, danger
that the loss Of life and the suffering
from injuries, regrettably incident to
industry. may increase. Nay, 1t seems
certain that unless earnest thought
and continuous care are given to the
matter it is sure to increase.
Comparatively few persons realize
how great a toll industrial accidents
take of our people every year, If we
are ever so unfortunate as to hear Of
the loss In a great battle of. say 10000
Of our soldiers u mean 10000 killed.
the nation would be moved deeply, yet
every year twice. perhaps three times,
that number are slain in industries Of
all kinds and almost without its invok-
ing comment If we were to hear that

and a large gun fully loaded and

Many of our citizens are under
the impression that these men have
been sent here by the Federal au-
thorities. but in his they are badly
mistaken. None OF them are gov
ernment men and they have moth
ing to do with the government.
The Niles Company we are told
secured the large cities around
Hamilton and imported them into
our town. They are beautiful
bunch and their looks don't de-
ceive them one bit.
1t appears like the Niles Com,
pany would rather pay these men
six dollars per day than to pay the
molders four and one half dollars
per day and have peace ii their
shop. If they think they are max
ing money by the operation, let
them go TO 1t, they have our best

Just as there is a call to serve for

TEXTILE WORKERS ARE NOW
CHARGED WITH CON-
TEMPT or COURT

The Shuler & Beninghofen Co.

contempt proceedings against sew

Textile Workers of America The
following are named in the proceed
ings: Myrtle Hall Alice Bieman,
Edith Friebergsr, Laura Kessler,

son, Jessie Howard Mary Donavan,
Chas. +. Vaughn and Thos L.

claim that the above named per.
sous violated and disobeyed the
courts injunction granted several
weeks ago. They charge that the
textile workers are in the habit of
collecting near the mill in Linden
wall and molesting those who are
working IN the mill They say
that the strikers have tent at the
corn T of Pleasant and Williams
avenues, and congregate there to
do do picket duty, and that s-veral
attempts or molestation have been
made
The strikers deny that they have
violated the courts order in any
way whatever and that these pro-
ceedings are brought simply to
create sentiment against those who
are on strike. That company is
anxious TO resume operations, des-
pite "Bill Shuler's" assertion that
the mills would lay idle until Janu-
ary 1st when the law and order
league would take care Of them,
and that the company thinks that
they can get girls to come to the
mills and work by bringing these
proceedings
The strikers have retained Harry
Wonnell to defend them. The
case will be heard before Judge
Clarence Murphy ON next Tues
day morning.

The strikers up to date have not
lost courage one bit, and they are
just as determined now to stay out
as they were when the strike was
called. With the exception Of the
same employees that tried to break
the strike few weeks ago the
strikers are still united and expect
to remain so, and perhaps longer
than the Shulers anticipate.

the first of the year we are sure

How to Fight With Your
Knife and Fork.
WILLIAM HARPER DEAN

WILLIAM HARPER DEAN
When yoa pick up your knife
and fork say this to yourself;
With these two weapons l can
help America win the war as well
as the soldier who is digging a
trench"
Oar wheat crop is small this
year and this is true in all parts of
the world from which the allies
can receive wheat by ships. The
less wheat bread we use the more
we shall have for the armies, arm.
les of our allies, and the men,
women and children Of our allies
who are now fighting in the
trenches.
Do not try to do entirely without
wheat, but try to see bow little
you can do on. We have lots of
corn this year. mix a little wheat
-four with a lot of corn meal and
make it into bread. 1t will be
cheaper, just as good for you, and
better for your country.
Or you can use oatmeal bread,
rye bread or barley bread. All
there are good. All these help
America to feed some of our allies
who have neither wheat, barley
rye nor oats.
Wherever you DO use wheat
bread, see to it that not crumb is
wasted. Make bread puddings OF
any scraps of 1t that happen to be
left. If you put too many slices
OF bread on the table, some may
become stale and hard. OF course
this should be used for toast Oh
puddings, but ism it better not tc
cut the loaf before the meal? Just
put the loaf on the table and cut
the slices as they are needed. The
bread will be fresh until all is used
This year we have many, many
potatoes. They are splendid food
cheaper than wheat and just as
good to the taste. Many native
Americans who live on farm:
never eat bread of any kind when
potatoes are part of the meal. II
