ed among workers in match factor
les the most loathsome of all indus
trial diseases "phossy jaw" All the
countries of Europe got together and
by treaty mutually agreed not to use
white phosphorus in matches This
was in 1906. In 1910 federal COM
mission reported in this country on
the dangers of white phosphorus to
workers in match factories. but when
an attempt was made to eliminate the
poison by law match manufacturers
declared they would lose their fac
tories before they would submit to
tins sanitary measure, already ir
compulsory operation in practically
every civilized country of the world.
1t required labor legislation to end
the use of this unnecessary deadly
poison and to substitute the harmless
chemical now used, which is Just as
good. The poisonous white phos-
phorus was cheaper, and one manu-
facturer was afraid to quit using it
unless all his competitors quit too.
No one will argue that the law had
not a right to step in to prohibit the
use of that poison and thus save the
lives and health of thousands of
workers. No one can honestly deny
the right of government to protect
the industrial workers life and limb
thru the workmen's compensation
laws, which, where they have been in
force have reduced accidents wonder
fully by compelling the employer to
use safeguards. Missouri is one of
the few states that has no workmens
compensation law. The Legislature
