WORLD FOOD SITUATION
DEPENDS ON TIN CAN
Director Of Investigation Service
of Labor Department States
Urgent Demand.

Upon the tin can depends the world
food situation. Whether the nations
overseas shall eat or not eat is a
question of containers as well as
conservation here in the United
States" This is the statement today
of Ethelbert Stewart, director of the
investigation and inspection service
of the Department of Labor, which
is now making an extensive investi-
cation of the machinery and methods
used in the manufacture of tin cans
with view to greatly increasing
the present output.
The output of tin cans is the an
swer whether or not we can feed the
world" says Mr.. Stewart. ut is not
so much a question of food as of get
ting it to the nations and people who
need it, in good condition. The sur
vey is constructive and is being made
merely to report on the best type of
methods of manufacture. In other
words. the government wishes to
know what is most safe and most
economical. Saving, which meals
economy Of time, as well as material,
is imperative.
IAN idea of the number of cans
used for overseas work can be OBJ
last week to the babies of Belgium
about 100000 cans of condensed milk
a day. When it is realized that food
of all kinds, covering every variety
of product-fruit, grain and vege-
table. as well as all sorts of meat or
f1sh-must be sent, the Importance of
the tin can is better understood"

= MADISON, Wis, June 13.-The In
dustrial commission has prepared a
table analyZing the cause of industrial
accidents which occurred in Wiscon-,
sin during the three years 1915, 1916,
and 1917. During this time, 40,9S0
accidents occurred in the state which
caused a disability of more than seven
days duration. In SIT cases death
resulted from the injury. The total
working time lost because of these
accidents were 5,951,838 days. This
means that the total wage loss to
workmen in Wisconsin because of ac-
cidents during these three years was
between $12,O00,000 and $15,000,000.
The analysis of the causes of acci-
dents made by the commission shows
that only 10 per cent of the accidents
were machine accidents. A larger
number of accidents were caused by
handling objects than through ma
chinery Of all kinds. Other causes of
many accidents were falls of persons
falling objects, hot substances, cranes,
derricks and hoists; and falls in con-
struction work.
The commission, in it's table, COM
putes the time lost due to accidents
in accordance with the recommended
tions of the International Association
of Industrial Accident Boards and
Commission. All deaths and cases of
permanent disability are computed at
5000 days lost, while other permanent
disabilities are expressed as a per-
centage of this figure. In this man.
ner the commission shows not only
the number of accidents but their
severity as we'll.
/ During this s-three-year4periodt there.
were but 165 accidents caused by; elec-
tricity, but they caused loss of work.
ing time of $4,000 days. while there
were. 2,467 accidents due to falling OBJ
jects but these caused a loss of but
10000 working days. Falling trees
caused almost as many deaths during
these three years as all machinery
accidents, as also did falls of persons,
falls in construction work, and elec.
tricity.
This table is the first OF a series to
be prepared by the commission analyz-
ing the accident experience of Wiscon-
sin with a view toward discovering
how the loss due to accidents may be
reduced.
