FOR ANOTHER CLEAR RECORD.
Supt. Hale Makes Plea for No Fatal
Accidents in August.

Isaiah Hale, superintendent OF
safety, sent the following traingran1
this week to all division officials OF
the Santa Fe.
win you please see that it is i'm
mediately brought to the attention OF
against twenty-four Santa, Fe en-
ployes killed during June and July.
last year, five only were killed during
the same months this year. these five
all being killed in July after clean
score for the month of June.
An appreciation of what this means
to the difference of nineteen men who
would have been, killed in the last
two months If we had maintained last
years record, should make every
Santa Fe man determined to stop the
past waste of life among our own
fellows. We not only can but should
repeat this month June's CLEAR record
and are counting on your division.
Properly sponsored, a campaign to
this end would over night become an
obsession to every serious minded
man. This is a serious work, let's take
il seriously.

DYE INDUSTRY IS
GROWING RAPIDLY
Output in 1919 Greater than Pre-War
imports and Better in Grade.
(6y Associated Prsss)

WASHINGTON, Jan. marked
progress in the development of the
American dye industry is shown in a
report made public today by the Unit
ed States tariff commission. Produc-
ton Of the various classes of dyes
during 1919, the period covered by
the report, is stated as equal to, or in
excess of the pre-war imports of the
United States with the exception of
vat dyes other than indigo. The man
ufacture of vat dyes, however, is said
to have made much progress despite
the high technical skill, long research
and large investment of capital in
volved.
Although the average price pound
of dyes in 1919 was the same as In
1918, the commission found that the
consumer received better values for
his money, as the dyes produced in
1919 We're of a higher quality and In
many instances were of faster type
! than the dyes available the preceding
year. The total production of dyes in
the United States In 1919 is estimated
by the commission at more than g.,
100000 pounds, an Increase of per
cent over 1918 manufactures and of 3S
per cent over pre-war imports. Many

to have been found of a decrease in
those dyes relatively easy to make
and the appearance of many new dyes.
The output of certain dyes is said to
have heen developed to a point beyond
the domestic consumption and large
quantities of these were exported,
particularly to China and Japan. Little
competition was experienced in for
eign countries in 1919 from German
dyes, the commission reports, adding
that the rate Of dyestuff production
by Germany since last July had been
about one third the pre-war output.
