ACCIDENT LIST
MUST BE PRUNED
McNichols Calls Conference
to Reduce the Number of
Eishaps in Industries

AsgOrding to data on industrial
accidents assembled at the State De-
HArtment of Labor and Industry, g.
500 persons were killed and 1878
injured in such mIshaps in the first
ten months of 1918, resulting in COM
pensation awards approximately $S,-
100000. While many of these acci-
dents were due to inexperienced men
in industries which had been speed
ed up" because of the war; Acting
Commissioner Walter McNichols has
called a conference of all bureau
chiefs, inspectors and officers of the
department to consider means OF re-
ducing the number.
Judging from those figures" said
Commissioner McNichols to-day, the
number of industrial workers who
sustained injuries at work in Penn
sylvania during the last ten months.
exceeds the estimates OF the total
casualties of the entire army of the
United States in the present war,
However, the injuries received by
the boys at the front were undoubted-
ly more serious in degree than the
injuries to the majority of industrial
workers in Pennsylvania and fatal
tiles are, of course, much higher In
numbers among the casualties of the
army than in industry.
However in the month of October
alone, among the Industrial casual
ties in Pennsylvania were 81 eyes
destroyed at a workmen's compensa-
tion cost of S61,1S023; 81 hands lost
at cost of $35,526.75; 13 legs am
putated at a cost of 24,TSS.42; IL
font q NJ SIG 12T
and three arms amputated at a cost
OF s6.131.15 in workmen's compensa-
tlon."
All principal officials and inspec-
tors of the Department of Labor and
Industry will be in Harrisburg Mon
day. Tuesday and Wednesday, No
vember %, 26 and %, when, virtually
two days will be given over to dis
cussions of methods of promoting
safety. by education OF the workers.
by installation OF safeguards and by
elimination of dangerous gases and
fumes.
Other topics that will be discussed
at the conference will be rehabilita-
tion and finding of Jobs for disabled
soldiers as well as methods of meet
ing general employment conditions
that may arise during the days of
reconstruction; the prevention and
settlement of labor disputes; the COM
pilation of industrial statistics that
they may be of greatest value to en-
ployers and employees; development
and Standardization of rules and reg
ulations for the safeguarding of
workers and discussion Of all other /
other labor laws of the state.

points out that, with the courts de- !
claring the Federal Child Labor Law

health of women and children, and |
similar laws in other states, are to- |
day virtually the only safeguards of /
such workers.

looked the tireless patience and ef-
ficiency of the average German agent
and the fact that the ordinary Boil
shevik is only loyal as long as he
is paid more money than the other
party can afford to give.
The minute that the Soviet COM
mittee seized the reins of government
the Hunpropagandists began their
deadly work among the Bolsheviki
chieftains with the view of using
them and their military forces to
further the cause of the Central En-
pires when the time was ripe.
In taking over the banks of
Vladivostok, the Soviet issued an
edict to the effect that no depositor
could withdraw more than ESQ rubles
from his or her account. A special
tax was also levied on all merchants
in an effort to obtain ready funds
These drastic orders resulted in the
closing of two of the three banks in
the city.
The new administration also seized
the port of Vladivostok, together
with all shipping in the harbor. This
action placed vast quantities of all
kinds of ammunition and guns in the
hands of the Bolsheviki. In addition,
1t gave the Soviet committee entire
confrol of the export of scrap iron
to Japan, which at that time stood
in vital need of that commodity.
So intent were Trotsky and Lenine
in setting everything of value back
home that they overlooked this fat
source of graft at Vladivostok. This
oversight, however, was only tenn
porary and in due time a special
committee was dispatched from
Petrograd to Vladivostok with in
structions from Trotsky to take over
the port and collect all export
moneys.
Bolshcvillism Doomed
This action was the cause of the
beginning of a bitter controversy
between the two Bolsheviki factions
which later proved the undoing of
Bolshevikism in Siberia.
Conditions in the meantime in the
city We're going from bad to worse,
as the Bolshevih leaders quarreled
over the spoils of war. Early in jan
uary of this year I91S) a reign of
terror was inaugurated by the Red
Guards, who in common with their
masters were in desperate financial
straits. The special tax by the Soviet
failed dismafly as a revenue getter
because of the fact that the foreign
merchants steadfastly declined to
pay it on the advice of their respec-
tive governments.

purchases of jute from Calcutta
are somewhat difficult because most
of the shippers Gin Calcutta) refuse
to ship to the United States except
to bona fide manufacturers. I believe,
however, that business can be done
with Messrs, Ernsthausen, Ltd, (of
Calcutta,) whose local agent has
shown more inclination than any 9TH
er to entertain business. The ship
ment of jute to Germany is difficult,
because neutrals refuse to accept it.
However, it can be stored"
On Jan. rs following Schmidt COM
municated with his banking superiors
in Berlin, announcing the purchase
of 500 bales of jute from "Ernsthaus-
en-, Ltd, of Calcutta
"The transaction" added Schmidt
ir that letter, sis through the firm
of Smith of New York, Ernsthausen
is to ship 500 bales in February or
March to Smith & Sons in New York.
These people are, according to my in
formation, excellent and trustworthy"
A confirmatory letter of the above
transaction with Ernsthausen was
found in the Schmidt documents. This
letter, which is from the Deutsche
Bank, is dated Feb. 10, 1915, and
showed that the Calcutta jute was
destined for Meissen. Germany. to
which place it was to be transhipped
on its delivery at a neutral Scandina-
Wan port.
Under date of Feb. 10. the follow
! ag self-explantory entry occurs in

schmidt's papers:
"Jute from Calcutta for New York.
Credit on London. To Smith & Son"
Transactions involving the purchase
of jute were also made on Jan. Is
and 80, 1915, and on March 1. Vari-
Gus other transactions took place afo
ter those dates which plainly indi-
cate the sale of jute grown in India
to Germany.
AS for cotton there are scores of
entries Indicating the shipment of
huge quantities to Scandinavian and
other neutral European countries,
every pound of which cotton was
bought with German money for war
purposes. DR.. Albert was prominent
in the negotiations for the purchase
of cotton. Several Americans are
said to have been concerned in AL
berts firm. Some of the cotton was
shipped through Italy to Switzerland,
but most of it was shipped to Rotter-
dam, Holland and Gothenburg, Swe-
Gen.
A somewhat surprising disclosure
found in the papers had to do with
the operations of a Germon-owned
munition factory in Sweden. Schmidt
investigated the activities of this con-
Germ and found that about 30 per
cent. of the output was being sold to
the Japanese, who in turn resold ii
to the Russian government for use
against the German armies in the
East.

fair" said Deputy Attorney General
Alfred Becker last night, 'Fbut it is
enough to indicate the shrewdness of
the enemy with which America is now
graphing. 1t shows that Germany
was able to get the things she needs
even from her enemies when neces-
sary. But she no longer gets any of
these things. The blockade is the real
thing now, and the fact that she is
cut off from America, South Africa,
India and other sources of supplies
is indicated by the news that's COM
ing out of Germany now"
The papers make an interesting dis
obscure regarding Hugo Schmidt
himself He arrived in New York two
months after the war began, and the
first thing he did was to make a dec
laration of his intention to become
an American citizen. He did this C.
spite TIE fact that the papers indi-
cate beyond a doubt that he came
here to further the war purposes of
his Fatherland. He did not become
citizen, and is now informed as "a
dangerous enemy alien"

show. appeared in South America in
the second. year of the war. He posed

lish interests The elder Schwerdt is
said still to be in New York.
