gradual decrease in rates as the
amount used mounts up into the
thousands of cubic feet.

it is possible that this rate will be

HURT IN JUNE
Claim WOrkmen Failed 10 Take
Proper Precautions. Caused
Loss OF 159 Working Days.

One thousand FIVE hundred acct
dents were recorded at Rock Island
arsenal plants during the month OF
June, according to the weekly ar
senal paper, the Arsenal Record.
As a result Of the injuries 10 the
workers there is considerable loss
Of time to the government. One
hundred fifty-nine working days
were lost.
The Record SAYS:
In spite OF strenuous efforts by
the department OF safety, Rock Is
land arsenal workmen have failed
70 take the proper precautions TO
avoid accident. and, as result, re-
ports show that minor accidents
totaling in number 1919 occurred
in the various shops and depart
ments during the month OF June.
This list includes all kinds Of small
injuries that did not cause a loss OF
time beyond the date of injury. An
other list of 70 accidents in which
the victims were compelled 70 lose
more time has also been prepared
by J. W. Hamper, safety engineer.
"Of the total number Of minor ac-
cidents, 1873 were eye injuries which
could have been prevented by the
use of goggles. while l27 were eye
injuries not preveutable by goggles.
In this manner 2l.3 per cent Of the
total is accounted for. Thirty acct
dents were caused by slipping or
stumbling where ordinary caution
would have prevented them. A total
of 2S0 was caused through the
handling OF material. and dangerous
machinery accounted for 80. Sprains
were sustained by 2S employees,
and the careless or improper hand
ling of tools caused 425 workmen 10
lose time valuable to themselves

nails and sharp edges sent 219
workmen to the hospital for med

accidents made up the balance OF
the total. an
"Of the 70 major accidents. or
those which caused loss Of time
/ beyond the date of injury, nine
were of such a nature because OF
neglect or delay on the part Of the
victim to report Immediately to the
! hospital for treatment.
1T is said that in almost every
one of the ,592 cases reported, or
binary caution would have been the
means of preventing such accidents
If the average time taken for each
case was one hour, then a total OF
