FATAL ACCIDENTS
| LAST YEAR WERE lS2
Work In Ship Yards Is Not
So Dangerous As
Lumberilg.

During the past summer and fall re-
ports often reached the city of the
numerous deaths in the shipbuilding in
dustry in Portland. 1t was even said
that the Portland hospitals were filled
with men who had been injured in the
shipyards.
The report of the state accident com
mission for the year 1918 contradict
this rumor. With 1872 fatal accidents
during the past year only As of these
occurred in the shipyards. Ten of the
As are credited to the steel shipbuilding
yards and 35 to the wooden shipyards.
As usual in lumber state, the great
est number of accidents is in The lum-
Der industry. To sswmills and logging,
which include logging railroads, is cred
tied 85 fatal accidents last year.
With the logging and lumber industry
as the occupation where the greatest
number of fatal sccident happen, and
the shipyards second, the remaining
80 accidents are well distributed among
other industries.
Mining claimed six and outfitting of
ships six, and railroad construction six.
The industries in which three deaths
occurred from accidents are paper man
ufaeturing, grading, steamboats, and
electric light plants.
Dredging, work in foundries, box
manufacture, street paving, tunneling,
bodybuilding and forest patrol are all
fairly safe occupations as but one fatal
accident occurred the past year in each.
One hundred eighty widows are now
receiving pensions from the accident
fund and 305 orphaned children. Last
year 25,2ss accidents occurred in the
state. For medical aid, compensation
for lost time and also set aside for pen
sions for MANNED workmen, and the
widows and orphans of workmen, the
state accident commission paid out last
year the sum of 81 ,635,144.

JAPAN OUTLINES HER
POLICY With CHINA
Loans To Chinese Govern
ment Must Now Be Refer
red To Embassies.

Toxic, Dec. 2O.-(By Mail. THE
foreign office has issued two state
ments dealing with loans to China by
the government and by private cap
ltallsts. The statement in regard to
government loans seys.
Mischievous reports Of Japanese 40
tivities in China, more particularly with
regard to the granting Of loans, have
for some time past been in circulation
and have imputed to the Japanese gov
ernment intentions which are entirely
foreign to it. For obvious reasons, the
Japanese government cannot undertake
to discourage financial and economic
enterprises of their nationals in China,
so long as those enterprises are the
natural and legitimate outgrowth Of
special relations between the two
neighboring and friendly nations. Nor
is the Japanese government at ali rc
ceding from its readiness to render
needed financial assistance to China,
consistently with the terms Of all the
declarations and engagements to which
it is a party, should the general secur-
ity and welfare Of China call for such
assistance.
CAT the same time, it fully realizes
that loans supplied to China, under the
existing conditions Of domestic strife in
that country, are liable to create mis-
understandings on the part Of either Of
the contending factions and to inter-
fcre with the establishment of peace
and unity in China, So essential to her
own interests as well as to the interests
of the foreign powers.
Withhold Assistance.
" Accordingly, the japanese govern
ments decided to withhold such finan-
cial assistance to China as is likely, in
its opinion, TO add to the complications
Of her internal situation, believing that
this policy will be cordially participat-
ed in BY all thepowers interested in
China"
The second statement in regard to
loans by private capitalists was given
out only in japanese, Of which the fol
lowing is translation:
'In view Of the fact that the in.
vestmcnt of Japanese capital in China
aud Siberia affect to a great extent
Inc diplomatic and financial policy of
thc state, the japanese government has
determined to establish definite prin.
,iples regarding the investment of Jap
snese capital in those regions which are
o be strictly enforced hereafter:
|. Whenever any Japanese capitalist
,pens negotiations with government,
central or local, in China or Siberia, re-
yarling loans which are to be utilized
ior political purposes, he is requested

Japanese eonsulates. When consulted,

matter to the department of finance or

"2. If any capitalist opens negotia-
ions without awaiting governmental
Instructions or acts against them, the
Japanese government may refrain from
irving any necessary protection for the
spital thus invested.

LONDON, Oct. .20.-The sale OF
the Duke of D~evonshire's town

of the great after war problems
which confront the electric light
and power industry in the United
States, such as coal conservation,
identification of railroads, water
power development and better pub

political activity, has been under
taken by the National Electric Light
association, composed of $4,000
large and small pants throughout
the country, it was announced here
today by M. II. A~ylesworth, for
merly chairman of the Colorado
Public utilities commission. who
has been elected to give his entire
time to the project as executive aid
to R. II. Ballard of Los Angeles,
Cal, president of the association.
"Our ambition" said Mr.. Ayles-
worth, will be to bring about the
highest development of efficiency
and economy in the light and power
industry in the interests of the con-
Stunning public. We shall endeavor
to carry out a national idea, uni
form and systematic, for better serv-
ice by means of education. The
experiences of the biggest plants in
obtaining the best results from coal
and affecting other economies of
operation, for instance. will be made
available for the smallest producers
of current.
1--WE shall divide the United
States into geographical divisions.
In these divisions various local prob
lens will be taken up and there will
be active suggestions and advice
from us, formulated by u engin-
neers and members of the associa-
ton who have solved similar diff
~culties.

The newspapers ascribe various
reasons for these sales. The chief
one is that super-income taxes and
the general increase of the cost of
living make impossible the upkeep
of such buildings and the necessary
retinue OF servants; another that
the motor car makes it possible for
people to live in the country and
still enjoy all the advantages of
town life. Another writer credits
the Duke of Devonshire with a be-
lief that the constant sight of such
costly private possessions by the
bus-riding masses who daily pass
the iron gates of Devonshire House
tends to promote B~olshevism.
