 What Has Been Accomplished.
 Records of lost time accidents since 1916 show steady reduction in number incurred during the recent years.
 "In 1921 lost time accident ire 1uency showed a reduction of 40 per cent over that of 1918, and a 29.7 per cent reduction over that of 1920, based on man hours
 Number of days lost from accl- dent likewise indicates a steady re- duction, same being 20 per cent less in 1921 than in 1918, and 9.7 per cent less than 1920
 "In 1920 there were 1o3 accidents recorded on presses, eleven of which resulted in 200 days lost time.
 In 1921 there were strictly press accidents, none of which resulted in specific injury and involving loss of 3s days"
 Little Interest in Association.
 There seems to be little interest being shown in the Mutual Benefit as sociation this year. To date Director Walter Broadley is the only candi- date for the presidency that has an nounced himself, though as usual sev- eral dark horses will probably launch their candidates at the eleventh hour, MT. Broadiey is conducting a vigorous campaign throughout the factory, and announces monster rally to be held at the Myrtle street gate Friday noon, Feb. 3.
 Special Suggestion Prizes.
 The additional prizes awarded for suggestions for the quarter ending De- cember 31 were awarded to J. Wigs niewsky, A. J. Griffin and c. Johnson. These three men had received awards during the quarter of $50.00 each. Therefore, the three additional prizes for the first, second and third quar- terly prizes were divided among the three, giving each an award of s2O.o0' in merchandise.
 MT. Wizsniewsky and MT. Johnson have taken orders in clothing from the Globe Clothing Go. for their awards, and MT Griffin from the Besse-Leland Co.,"
