 ey ] Bulletin No 251 of the United States fBureau of Labor Statistics, contain re-
 port of Arthur R. Perry. M.s D., on Pro 1 ventable Death in Cotton Manufacturing Industry The following is quotation from that report: "A cotton mill ep-
 erative in Fall River is one and one-half l times as liable to die before he or she is forty-four years old as citizen of !,
 FaIl River who does not work in the l mills. A woman operative is nearly twice as liable to die before she reaeh- eh the age of forty-four as 9, woman llv- l ing in the same city who does not work l in the mills. married woman working lin the mills runs four times the risk of dying of tuberculosis before she is for l ty-four than a married woman who is lnot a mill operative For the years Is to 24 the death rate of operatives e-s- lneeds that of non-operatives by sixty I five per cent. For the group of fifteen
 to forty-four the excess or operatives is
 46 per cent The hazard from tubereu- l Iosis is especially marked among mil
 operatives the death rate being 51 per I.oent. higher for males and 42 per cent
 I for females in the age group, fifteen tc
 forty-four, than for non operatives.

 strained position assumed by miners in holding the seam at the wallace, the dust inhaled by rag-sorting, wool-sor+ ng, -chandling. hair and brush nlaru-
 featuring. stone and marble cutting, glass cutting, by potters and cement
 workers and others exposed to mineral dusts show abnormal death rates, es-
 pecsally from respiratory diseases, that from consumption being about five times as high abong stonecutters as among farmers.
