Wonder if anybody is really scared
at the gibbet the president proposed
to erect at st. Louis upon which GER
in OppOnentSs Of the League of Ma
tons covenant were to be gibbeted:
If anybody is really frightened at the
rash outbreaks of Mr.. Wilson. his
compOssre will return if he only puts
ON his think cap and recalls what has
happened to other threats from the
same source. Do your recall that soon
after his election in 1912. the president
was going to hang everybody who con
spired to boost prices, and especially
Wall street manipulatorS, if they
didn't be good. Well, prices have been
boosted by trusts and combinations
as never before, but instead of hang
ings taking place. the Baruchs, La
monts and others of like ilk have been
made the recipients of special cou1Te-
sizes from the government & SO Viii
sons gibbet doesn't really mean any
thing. hence the ''pigmy minded and
contemplate cutters" in the senate
need lose no sleep in fear of having
awful happen to them
through executive orders. The chances
are that before the president finishes
his swing around the circle. he will be
fawning to the very men whom he
started out at st. Louis to gibbet.

cording to bulletin No. 234 of the Blu
reau Of labor statistics, United States
department CT labor. In 1907, of every
1000 men employed in that industry
242were killed or injured. In 1917 the
proportion had been reduced to 81
per thousand. Proportion undoubted

later years says the bulletin, hut for
the introduction Of new labor and the
great movement of labor during the

The bulletin declares that serious
Industrial accidents can be eliminated
The theory that they are necessary.
1t says, is due to the conviction that
accidents are caused primarily by
Carelessness Of individuals. Careful
analysis of large number of fatal
and serious accidents, it asserts,
shows that they are due chiefly to
fundamental structural or engineering
defects in which the workman has
no part. In general, it is argued that
structures so strong, so Well design
