DRAFTED MEN GET COMFORT
FROM DEATH RATE IN WAR

Only Sixty Men out of Every
1000 Lose Lives-Wounded
Estimated at 15O-Roosevelt
Volunteers Would Ha Suffer-
ed Heavily.
Clients whose sons and friends
have been called under the recent
draft should get considerable
comfort from study of the NOR
tality statistics of the armies in
Europe. Of course it is very
difficult to secure relia Bile figures.
but we understand that about so
men per thousand are being kill
ed, and $50 men out of each
thousand are wounded, altho
most of these wounded return
again to the trenches. This
percentage OF casualties is not
high. Of course it cannot be
compared with the normal death
rate in peace times, which is
about 8 per thousand for the
ages of the men at the front.
The great loss of previous wars
has been from disease. This has
been very largely eliminated.
Some claim that a man at the
front today is less liable to dis
ease than if at home working in
city.
The mortality is very much
less today than it was at the
beginning of the war. The gas
and other hideous forms of attack
are being we'll handled at the
present time. Men who are sensi.
BILE and careful can we'll protect |
themselves against these things. |
Experience, both in the protec.
tion of the soldier aad the care of |
the wounded, is constantly re-
ducing the death rate as the war
With the exception
of wounds obtained during
charges, which of course are very
dangerous, most wounds are in
the arm and shoulder which can
be easily healed, or in the skull.
The skull wounds are naturally
serious. Amputation of limbs is
very much less than in previous
wars.
The mortality varies consider
IDLY with the different branches
If service. Il man who is con. {
lected with the heavy field artil-
cry is no more likely to be killed |
han if in the employ of our rail- i
Dads, but the fellows engaged c
Il certain other branches are in c
1uch more danger. It is also
aid that the mortality among
ertain classes of officers, I
UGH as lieutenants, sergeants C
nd corporais is proportionally E
cry much greater than among &
rivates. 1t is very interesting ii
, see how much greater the
lortality is among volunteer Il
orps than among drafted men. N
the Roosevelt volunteers had o.
one to the front, the mortality
nong such body would doubt
IS have been very high. ii
We believe that the dra fled q
an who goes as ordinary so.- G
er, taking his Judgment with Je
m and leaving his esthuslasm
home, is not only effective, but til
fairly sure to return in better b
lysical condition than when he

Safety In Industry Urged BY
War Plan

Harrisburg, Pa, May 25-
Safety in industry has become a
war measure" said commissioner
of Labor and Industry Jackson In a
statement urging the imperative
need for this state waPing the most
vigorous aud intensive campaign
for industrial safety ever conducted
THE conservation Of man is al
economic problem of first impor-
tance," he decl9red. With the
inevitable expansion and readiust-
ment5 that must follow America 8
entrance into the war, human
wasteage must receive the same
careful consideration from the In
dustrial captains that it receives
from the military leaders, If the
country al large is intelligently tc
undertake the task of cutting its
sacrifice to the minimum.
During the past year two and
one half regiments of industrial
army of the state were annihilated
Since January 1917, 750 workers
have been killed In this state. This
is an average of $50 month. The
total number OF workers killed OF
injured, either seriously or sligh ly,
since the first of the year is 81, 1928.
OF this number thousands Of the Ia.
iured were incapacitated for further
effective service.
In the main. the causes of in
dustrial accidents are
"Carelessness, speeding up, the
newman hazard, unguarded danger
points, failure to keep in constant
service safeguards provided, lack
of Americanization.
''Speed ia industry, direct re.
suit of great demand for produc-
ton, must be conducted under the
most vigorous and constant vigil
lance both by employers and en-
ployes.

Union Label Law Vetoed.

Philadelphia, May 25 Governor
Brumbaugh veto on an act pro-
viding for the label of the Allied
Printing Tradss on all state print
ing, on the ground that it is nm
constitutional, causes the Pro
gressive Labor World to ask these
pointed questions:
Unconstitutional, is it? Has
the state not the right to specify
what kind Of printing it wants j?
Can The state not specify what color
Of ink il wants? Can the state not
specify what size pages it wants /?
Can the state not specify what shall
be on the title page Of anything it
prints, a union label or what not :
It is not question If constitu-
tionality at all 1t is a mere ques-
tion of specifications. And with
out any previous experience either
as school room lawyer or politi
clan we venture to say that the
state may prepare any specifications
it sees fit to prepare, Brumbaugh
to the contrary Notwithstanding
But suppose Brumbaugh is
right Suppose the state constitu-
ton of Pennsylvania is so crarkv
that it will not permit the state to
prepare any kind of specifications
it deems best, what of it2 Is Brum-
baugh the supreme court, author
lied and empowered to interpret
the constitution for US
In answer to the governor claim
that the proposed law is 'discrim
alton, the editor continues
Discrimination against what j?
Discrimination against unfair work
ing conditions Yes. Dscrimiu
alton against tuberculosis Yes.

WORLD OF LABOR

Laundry workers in Cheyenne,
Wyo., have organized with the aid
of local trades upionists, who are
determined to secure better condi-
tions for these poorly paid workers
The annual expenditures for the
enforcement of the State labor laws
amount to about $144 900 in Wash
ington, $1U5 600 IN Oregon, aud
1914, 900 in California.
Wharf and Dock Builders Union
No. 454 of Philadelphia has secured
wage increases and the eighthour
day as the result of an agreement
with the Snare & Treast company,
this city's largest dock builders.
Gustav Mostler, for the past ten
years editor of Brauer Zeitung, of
fetal newspaper of the United
Brewery Workmen, Is dead. De-
ceased possessed exceptional ability
as writer on trade unionism and
allied subjects and his pen was a
powerful factor in the success Of
his international union.
Less than fifty members of the
International Printing Pressmen
and Assistants Union have been in
industrial conflict during the last
tour years, reports President Berry
of that organization, Within the
past few weeks wage increases and
improved working conditions have
been secured in twenty eight local
tiles.

Railroad Efficiency Don't Bene-
fit Public.

Bismarck, N D. May 25.- In a
letter to an eastern financial paper
State Tax Commissioners Packard
skaters the theory of railroad man,
ayers and their supporters that the
public and labor have been the sole
benefciaries of increased efficiency.
The editor stated that in 10
years the average freight train load
has increased 81 per cent without
any increase in the net revenue per
train mile and the public has re-
ceived the entire advantage of the
gain in the efficiency of operation J"
Commissioner Packard disagrees
with this statement and writes the
editor:
The increase in the profit per
train mile from 1905 to 1915 was
s. .488 cents per mile, or approx
mately IA per cent, while the rate
per passenger per mile for he
perion shows slight increase and
the rate per ton per mile decrease
of 634 cents per mile or less than
4lH per cent,
If the increased revenue per
train mile is greater than the de
creased rate per ton mile and the
passenger rate has remained con-
stant it is difficult for me to see
how the public has bene6ted by the
increased efficiency of railroad op-
Grafton.
AS a matter Of fact the cost per
mile ton and the cost per passenger
mile to the public has remained a
constant factor while the same is
true of labor. II would lengthen
this letter beyond all reason if ]
went into The portion of the gross
earnings OF railroads which were
paid to labor during the past 10
years
Suffice it TO say that that perceu-
tage has remained constant factor
1t is perfectly clear that the general
public has not benefited by this in
creased efficiency and that labor has
been benefited only in proportion
to the general benefit conferred up
