located in II central and 10 eastern
states are able to obtain either di-
rectly, or through local wireless re-
ceiving agencies, information relative
to prices and conditions al the leading
agricultural market ceLters and ship
ping points the same day that busl-
ness is transacted. and in some in
stances Immediately after the close
of the market. The department will
perfect organizations so that every
farmer in the territory covered may
receive the information as soon as
possible after its receipt by the oper-
ator. These reports will be telephonec
to farmers direct, furnished to news
papers, FLED with local telephone ex-
changes and posted on railway, post

In speech which was given very
close attention and was frequently ap-
plauded
"At one time" said Commissioner
Gabaldon, Congress had before It no
less than thirty resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations of the
Irish people, IL not actually urging Eng
land to grant independence to Ireland.
At that time, also the Filipinos were
knocking at your door. Out Of the
womb Of war, many European repub-
lies were born, and America has re-
jofced to uphold the same And yet
the claim OF the Filipinos is still un-
needed. Must there be exceptions,
then, in international justice7
My plea, gentlemen Of the Ameri-
can Congress, is that you ignore no
longer the repeated requests OF a de-
serving people for an independence
that rightfully belongs to them. The
granting Of independence now affords
the United States q golden opportunity
to give to the world unanswerable
proof Of its sincerity, its consistency
and Its altruism. 1t will be the great
est example Of square dealing In the
history Of the ages.
do not think we are not appre-
ciative Of all you have done for US.
We are. America has truly treated
the Filipino people as no other nation
has ever treated an alien race In all
history. The high points of the Amer
lean policy In the Philippines have
been consistently inspired by altruism.
We know that you were actuated In
ute to our own welfare.
"And we love you perhaps most Of
all for your solemn promise to grant
us that which we hold dearer than life
itself-our freedom. Independence Is
our national ideal. 1t is our all alb
sorbing aim. 1t grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit of nationalism
never dies. Much less can it be SUBJ
dued. We believe that we can never
hope to be a sturdy nation If we are
to rely forever on the magnanimity Of
the United States.
Americas task In the Philippine
Islands is finished. What you have as
sumed as your sacred obligation in
that part of the world has been full
filed. A people with a medieval sys-
tenn of institutions has been trans
formed into a conscious nation, i'm
bued with all that Is modern In the
activities Of nations. And If you give
us independence our gratitude to you
will increase q thousand fold; 1t will
last forever IL you keep faith with US.

UNKNOWN
Is the Number of Killed and
Injured in Industry

Washington.--It is not known how
many industrial accidents occur yearly
IN the United States, says Margaret
Gadsby, writing in the Monthly La

statistics published in state reports. "
"To 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
industrial accidents? What is the ac-
cident frequency rate in the leading
indust tries; the accident severity rate
We do not know. Where can preven-
tive measures be most effectively ap-
piled? 1t has never been adequately
determined there is no adequate COM
parable data.
"fIow many industrially disabled
are there i'll the country who will be
affected by the recent legislation ex-
tending the rehabilitation to the in>
dustria cripple? No authoritative
statistics are available. What is the
annual loss in productive efficiency
through industrial accidents? What
is the annual cost IN time and money
lost through accidents in industry
We do not know; there are no figures
available by which it ear be deter
mined.
Accurate data as to the number
of accidents, the causes, nature of in
