EXPLAINS Plan TO
REDUCE ACCIDENTS
Lewis A. Du Blois Discusses
Safety Movement Before
Labor Union
CENTRAL BODY HAS
ENDORSED THE PLAN

Lewis A. Dubois head OF the safety
movement in this state, last night. be
fore the Central Labor Union, mapped
out the plans OF the Delaware safety
Council for reducing fatalities anj dis
abling accidents in Delaware. Mr.. Du-
Blois attended the meeting on invitation
OF the union. During his talk The
speaker said:
ut is said that from 60 TO 20 per cent.
Of all accidents are due TO the careless
ness Of the individual, and This prob
ably applies not only 10 industrial life,
but to accidents in our home aud upon
the streets. Whether the burden Of the
responsibility is rfghtfuly or wrong
fully placed In the industry. 10 Is at
least evident that TO each one OF US as
a worker our safety and physical wei
fare is Of moro importance than 20 our
employer. II is for this reason that ths
Central Labor Union should welcome
any non-parllsan activity Of this sort
and should give freely lts cooperation.
II is safe TO say that within every in
dustry OF this state. ono out OF every
ten men is injured once a year and
that two out Of every thousand arc
killed.
Accident prevention is good business
for the employer. Some companies
have been able TO save a considerable
amount Of money through accident re-
duction. Others have not been able 10
show anything very much moro than
the promotion OF cordial relations be-
tween employer ami cmploye, but this
IN Itself is a pront Of very material
character.
Over and above this the employer
feels thht he is satisfying his moral
obligation 10 maintain a safe shop. y
III does not seem 10 be necessary TO
emphasize the gain TO the employe. Iio
can do better work under safe coudi-
tions and the atmosphere OF safe es-
adjustment is q better one. No con-
siderstlon Of dollars and cents can in
reality compensate him for suffering
