KILLED AND INJURED
IN INDUSTRY UNKNOWN

1t is not known how many industriaf
accidents occur yearly in the United
States, says Margaret Gadsby, writing
in the Monthly Labor Review, pub
lfshed by the United States bureau of
labor statistics, on "Inadequacy of in
dustrial accident statistics published
in state records"
ITO what extent have workmen's
compensation laws and the safety
movement mitigated the accident evil
in American industries? We are un-
able to determine with any degree Of
certainty. What are the causes of in
dustrial accidents? What is the ac-
cident frequency rate in the leading
industries; the accident severity rate? :?
We do not know. Where can preven-
tive measures be most effectively ap-
piled? It has never been adequately
determined; there is no adequate COM
parable data.
'How many industrially disabled
are there in the country who will be
affected by the recent legislation ex-
tending the rehabilits ton to the. in
dustrial cripple? No authoritative sta
tistics are available. What is the an
nual loss in productive efficiency
through industrial accidents? What is
the annual cost in time and money lost
through accidents i'll industry? We do
not know; there are mo figures avail
able by which it. can be determined.
Accurate data as to the number
Of accidents, the causes, nature Of in
jury and degree Of disability of acci-
dents occurring in each industry are
essential for effective prevention
work. as we'll as for the establishment
Of adequate and reasonable compensa-
ton insurance rates.

CLASS WAR IN ITALY.

The stories from Italy of clashes be.

must be bit puzzling to the Ameri.

to study industrial developments in Vic.
tor Emmanuel's kingdom.
The American newspapers tell US that
the Fascist are 'intense nationalists:'
whatever the editors may mean by
that-and the impression is given that
they are confining their activities to
assaults on followers of Lenine and
Trotskyy: g.
That version Of the situation is de.
cidedly wide of the mark.

G0MPERs' LOYALTY,

Among the recent champions risen
to lead the people back into normalcy
none will be found with a more lorid
oratorical style or a more windy proc
ess Of argument than a certain Repre-
sentative Underhill of Massachusetts,
whose charges Of sedition, treason "and
even murder" against "samuel Com.
pers and lbs damn gang" were cheered
to the echo the other night in New
York by members of the National Metal
Trades Association.
Samuel Gompers, if one were to
credit Mr.. Underhill, is ga demagogue,
more autocratic and unprincipled than
any potentate." '''During the war;

BUDGET BUREAU.

The senate has passed Senator Nc.
!Cormick's, bill establishing a national
budget system. The house is expected
to follow suit quickly and President
Harding 3 interest in, the budget policy
is such that his signature making the
bill law is assured:
Although the Mccormick bill is not
so drastic as the extreme advocates Of
the budget idea would have liked, even
they admit that it is step. in the right
direction.
It represents an evolutionary rather
than revolutionary movement toward
better control Of the expenditure of ths
taxpayers money
Its chief provisions are for a bulge:
bureau. to prepare estimates of depart
mental expenditures, and the creation
of the office Of controller to audit and
account for all governmental expendi'
lures.
This official is subject to executive
and not congressional removal. In this
respect the bill differs from the on>
passed by the last congress and vetoed
by President Wilson on the GROUND
that it gave congress undue authority
over an executive official.
The administration has accepted tht
Wilson view as to this aspect Of thu
law.

FARMERS, FOOD AND FREIGHT,

Henry C. Wallace, secretary of az
riculture, has prepared a chart which
shows in striking form the increase in
the cost of freight and handling
charges on corn after it leaves the
farm.
The chart makes comparison of
costs and prices Dec. /, 1913, with the
1921 costs.
In 1913 the price Of No. 3 corn II
chicago was 75c which was made up
OF 6oc bushel on the Iowa farm, 6.36
cents bushel for handling thereafter,
and IA cents freight to Chicago.
In 1921 the price at Chicago is only
53c but freight has increased from "a
to l5.7 cents, or about 80 per cent;
handling charges have increased from,
6.36 to 1913 cents, or about 70 per cent
and the price nthe Iowa farm has
decreased from 60 to- 29c, or nearly
20 per cent.
Secretary Wallace has also had pre-

THE WRECKERS.

In times Of stress the crop Of "croak.
ers' and "wreckers" are always con-
spicuous by the noise they make.
When jobs are scarce and times are
bad you can always find a. number Of
men who find nothing better to do than
hang crepe on any and everything.
Somehow or other, these individuals
are never able to understand that by
singing their doleful plant they are
making bad matters worse.
Instead Of putting "pep" and back
bone into their fellows, they spend their
time spreading the doctrine Of misery
and hopelessness. By doing this sort
of thing they break down the morale
of their fellows. Then along comes the
union-smashing employers and kick
what is left Of morale into the dis.
card.
The time when things 60 wrong, when
jobs are scarce, when getting living
is almost more grief than it is worth
is the time when every real man stands
ready and sure, looking the situatio,
squarely in the face and then sets him
self to the task Of bettering conditions
When the "croaker''' with his seeds
OF pessimism, suspicion, distrust .anl
hopelessness gets into your home, you,
place Of business, your union or you,
lodge, tell him to take himself and
his wares some place else. You have
neither the time nor the inclination te
listen to his cowardly plant.
"Heads up!" This is no time TO,
whining. There is work to be done
Do your part.
The labor world., 1921-05-07

pared . contrast Of pre.war normal
prices with present prices, not con-
fined to agricultural product but in.
cluding number Of other staples.
He finds that while the price OF
corn at Chicago shows a decrease of
13 per cent from the pre.war normal,
the price on the farm shows decrease
Of 80 per cent.
The price Of oats at Chicago shows
decrease Of only 1.6 per cent but
the price OH the farm shows decrease
Of so per cent.
When you get into livestock, the
contrasts are even more tragic. Hogs,
for instance, at Chicago are bringing
per cent more than the pre-war nor
NAL price, but on the farms they are
bringing 20 per cent less than before.
Cattle are even now bringing II per
cent more at Chicago than before the
war, yet on the farm they bring 10
per cent less than then.
In manufactured products, however,
pig iron is 63 per cent above the pre-
war normal; Bessemer steel billets 60
per cent above; lumber "a per cent
above; petroleum So per cent up; ce.
ment 112 per cent above; railroad
wages 120 per cent above, freight rates
on farm products SO per cent above,
and the cost Of living generally 70 per
cent above.

LET'S KNOW OUR CH1xD.

If we really are in earnest in our
talk Of reducing armaments, if the de-
sire to save several hundred millions
Of dollars a year is going to lead us to
take the step, here is something for US
to think about:
In the United States we talked about
the League Of Nations for a long time
before President Wilson went to Paris
to assist at it's birth. Our idea, and
his, was that the arrival of the little
stranger was not expected for some
months. But presently rumors began
to go around that the baby had already
been born-in, England-and that, un.
der the cover of the mystery that en-
shrouded almost everything at the Paris
conference. a founding was being
passed off on Uncle Sam as his own
child.
This was not entirely true, but there
was enough truth in it to warn US
against permitting such thing to hap.
pen in this case Of International dig
armament.
The British government has accepted
as fact that the United States wants
conference to consider reduction of
ornaments: 1t is planning it's own pro-
gram with reference to such a confer.
ence. If the conference is called, Great
Britain will be ready with plan. It.
may be the best possible plan for the
international standpoint and it may:not
be; but you can bet that it will be the
best plan. possible from the British
standpoint. The British are to be
praised for their foresight. i y.
But what is our government doings
Nothing, that anybody knows about.
The labor world., 1921-05-07
SLAVERY AND FEUDALISM,

The offer Of steel trust stockholders
to forego profits in Judge Gary's-
and their-fght against trade unionism
is another case Of history repeating.
What is known as Garyism was
called feudalism in the Middle Ages
and slavery in other periods.
The only dicerence is that Garyism
would hide itself within freedom IS
cloak while the feudalist and slave
holder were frankly autocratic-they
boldly announced that they were supe.
rior to the men and women Of toll.
Stripped Of sham and cant, Garyism
is control of the many by the few, and
the determination Of that few to hold
their power.
Steel stockholders are "runnins true
to form' with their song that is as old
as man 8 first effort to be free.
Every trade unionist has heard this
song, which is always forgotten when
100 per cent trade union appears on
the scene.
The steel autocrat knows, as did the
feudal baron and slave holder, that
wage earners become conscious of them
selves when they unite. Then-and not
till then-do they sense what liberty
means.
