STATISTICAL REPORT
INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

| THE work on the statistical report
of the Industrial Accident Commits
sion, which is required by Chap. 295,
Sec. 43, Revised Statutes, the Work
mems Compensation act, is progress
ing fairly well and over 5000 of the
accidents reported in 1916 have been
tabulated, counted and classified ac
cording to the wages received, hours
employed, length of disability, age,
social state, sex, location. number of
employers covered by the act and the
number of employees. said Harry II.
Thurlough, secretary of the commits
sion and in immediate charge of the
work.
Taking into consideration the fact
that some 10000 accidents We're re-
ported during 1916 and 1917 to the In
dustrial Accident Commission, it is
apparent that the statistical work is
of considerable Importance. No re-
port was made last year. as the COM
mission had no appropriation for it,
hence Il double amount must be
, cleared away at the present time. 1t
is a slow job, with the thousands of
cases always with us requiring con-
slant attention and new ones coming
every day.
The first report to this office of an
injury to an employee is but a trifle
to what may develop in work and time
On that one case. A great variety of
situations and demands may arise be-
fore it is finally disposed of and it may
drag over eight or nine years, in fact,
we have cases on our files now that
require constant attention and have
since the organization of the com
mission and bid fair to stay with us
for several years longer. But with all
the work occasioned by the statistical
report it will develop vast fund of
matter which will be of great value to
the commission in it's future work and
as well as to interested parties
