BIG INCREASE IN ACCIDENTS
Green Hands in Kansas Factories,
Due to War, Cause 20 Per
Cent More Injuries.

Accidents in Kansas due to factory
appliances and other faulty mechan-
ism have increased during the war
20 per cent, according to statement
by w. H. Cushing, statistician for the
Kansas labor department
Part of this increase is due to
green hands filling the positions left
by the many enlistments in army ser
vice and by those taken in the draft, %
said Mr.. Cushing Accidents during
the last year total approximately T.
600, as compared to between 5000 and
5000 earlier
I'VE are receiving something like
thirty reports a day at present and
expect a gradual reduction in these
as the warm weather gives the work
ers more daylight and permits open
windows. Too much stress cannot be
put upon the advantage of fresh air
in the work rooms Charcoal dust
and close quarters without ventila-
ton are responsible for a large pro-
portion of accidents, as employees are
not alert and able properly to protect
themselves when they are Iogy from
bad air and artificial light. AS soon
as the hours when artificial light are
reduced by the longer hours of day
light in the spring we invariably find
corresponding reduction in the &C
cidents reports.
"At least a part of the increased re-
ports are due to more efficient report
ing. A strenuous campaign has been
waged to effect this end and it means
that we come nearer to getting a
count on at least the more serious
accidents in factories in our state"
