FEWER ACCIDENTS
AMONG WORKERS
Number Of Fatalities Has Been
Reduced One Third in the
Last Five Years.
MINOR MISHAPs AT MINIMUM
Result Of Educational Campaign tias
Been Most Gratifying-safe Prac-
tices and Safety Thinking Spread
ing Among Employees.

The number of fatal accidents in the
United States has been reduced one
third In the last five years and the
number of less serious mishaps has
shown still greater reduction, W. ii.
Cameron, general manager of the ma
tional safety council, told delegates to
the seventh annual Safety congress,
held at st. Louis.
"Five years ago the most accurate
statistics available showed that $4,000
men and women lost their lives every
year through industrial accidents" he
said. Hundreds of thousands suffered
accidents of more or less serious
nature. Industrial accidents reached
the enormous total of 100000 every
year.
Beginning with handful of young
engineers the safety council has grown
until nearly 1000 of the largest bust
ness institutions are grouped in CO.
operative, nonprotit-taking organiza-
ton devoted solely to conservation of
man power.
"If safety was entirely an engineer.
ing problem the task of preventing ac'
cidents would be simple. Mechanical
safeguards are excellent things, but nc
piece of mechanism has ever been
made 'foolproof.'
! safety implies education, and the
acquisition of safe practices and safety
thinking by the workman is as i'm
| portant as sound business judgment.
"When you hear plant representa-
tive say his organization has touched
so per cent Improvement in safety con
ditlons, then you know the educational
| safety factor is working among his
men. When rs per cent is reached hi:
employees are thinking safety"

MORE IN PRODUCTIVE WORK
Estimate That 100000 Registrars
Were Affected Under the Order
to "Work or Fight"

An official estimate that 100000 reg
istrants had been forced into produc-
tive employment through operations of
the draft "work or fight rule was
made by Provost Marshal General
Crowder. 1t is expected that number
equally as large will be turned over
from nonproductive to essential en-
ployment when the rule is applied to
the 100000 registrants enrolled in
the eighteen to forty-five draft classes.
Since there will be larger per-
centage Of men in the upper draft ages
given deferred classification, it is prob
able large number will be required to
take up war work jobs to retain this
deferred classification.
OF the first draft, General Crowder's
figures show that up to August %, 52,-
1926 registrants in Al states had been
hailed before local. boards on account
of idleness or nonproductive eeenpa-
tons.

life and limb. If in the past kings had been fore
ed to weigh the factor Of ultimate personal ac-
countability and responsibility the world would
have been spared much bloodshed and destruc-
ton. The time to inaugurate this policy is now.
BY making an example of the men directly and
personally responsible for the war, superlative
fear of the consequences will deter rulers in the
future from precipitating war at the slightest
provocation
Lloyd Georges second point also is worthy Of
consideration. If international law means any
thing, is more than scrap of paper, or set of
rules that can be disregarded at the caprice Of a
nation, it is high time that its provisions be vim
dicated by furnishing the men who fagrantly and
impudently violated them. Germany made a
farce of international law and the Hague conven-
tions. It shamelessly disregarded the very in
struments it had helped to make and to which it
had given solemn assent, on the theory that war
knew no laws, and necessity nullified every pre-
cept of honor and decency. This is the principle
on which outlaws and brigands shape their
courses They set aside the provisions of law and
society with premeditation and purpose. Hence,
the law hunts them down as if they were wild
animals, not for the joy of inflicting punishment
upon them as evildoers, but because the security
of the state demands their eradication as warn
ing to others and a prevention of further out
lawry and brigandage. This is precisely the atti-
tude Of Lloyd George. He demands punishment
of the German outlaws to prevent other nations
from transgressing against international law with
impunity and nsolence.
