Big Accidents; Few Fatalities

Details OF the most recent powder
plant fires and explosions throw
interesting light on these statistics
and show how that the most spec
taCular accidents at explosives
manufactures are usually the least
serious when viewed from the stand
point Of loss Of life, injury to work
men or damage outside the plants.
When 100000 pounds of powder
went up at Haskell, New Jersey
not long ago, there was flare which
was seen many miles away. The
shock was felt at distant points and,
as newspaper men would say, great
excitement prevailed" This "ex-
element" affected mainly those who
were stampeded by the noisy and
spectacular features of the fire, and
these people were outside the plant
The workers. who know how thor
Ouehly their lives are safeeuarde1,
were not stampeded. Ii was no
surprise TO them to find that only
two men had lost their lives and
that the comparatively few who
were injured suffered only slight
hurts.
A week before the explosion at
this plant there was spectular &C.
cident at the Brandywine Yards.
Wilmington, Delaware, when a
grinding mill exploded and caused
the explosion of a small car of pow
der and another small quantity in
another'buildine at some distance.
In all. about two tons of powder
exploded, but it shook the hills
around Wilmington. made a loud
noise and led to wild reports that
many were killed.
When it came TO checking I'D the
casualties, il was found that the
man operating the grinding mill
was the only one who had lost his
life and that of those injured only
four sought hospital treatment.
Three OF them were discharged from
the hospital the same day and the
other remained only over night.
Another of the spectacular acct
dents was the burning Of 10000
pounds vi SmokelesS powder at

PUT A CRIMP IN BOMB
PLOTS IN AMERICA TO-DAY

WASHINGTON = Beginning today
the United States government will con-
troll the manufacture, sale and storing
of all high explosives in the United
States.
The new law, enacted October 8, by
which the government authorities hope
to cope more successfully with bomb
plots was put into operation today by
Francis F. Peabody, Of Chicago, re-
Gently appointed assistant to the d.
rector of the bureau of mines.
The law provides that anyone using,
manufacturing, selling or storing high
explosives of any kind, must secure
a license from Peabody.
1t also provides the means for more
thorough investigation of dynamite
outrages and mysterious fires.
The maximum penalty for the rn-
authorized possession of high explo-
sives is a fine of $4,000 and years
Imprisonment or both.
The owners of small arms, such as
shot guns and revolvers do not come
under the new law.
