fewer ACCIDENTS
IN AUTO PLANTS
Twice as Many Rubber Workers
Are Injured-Greatest Danger,
in Construction Work.
BY the Associated Press,

CHICAGO. July 25.-The automo-
bile industry was first among eight
Industries surveyed in prevention of
accidents, according to a statement
made public today by the National
Safety Council. Accidents averaged
one a day for $500 automobile en-
ployes. or a total of 3.S22 during a
total of a03,000,o00 hours worked by
S5,145 employees. Only accidents in
volving time lost from work were
recorded.
Rubber plant workers were injured
twice as frequently as those in au-
tomobne plants. Petroleum indus
trial accidents were slightly greater
than In the rubber industry. and the
disabling factor was more than twice
as great. Paper and metals indus
tries accidents averaged one day
for $500 employees, but steel and iron
plant accidents were less serious
than in paper and pulp mills. which
was attributed to long campaign
of accident prevention in the steel
industry. The Portland cement in
dustry and wood working were sixth
and seventh in the list.
Construction showed the worst rec
ord, with an accident a day for 1900
workers, the statement showed.

BERLIN, July 25.-There was chaos
today when 1t became generally known
that the German mark had reached
new low. the paper mark now being
worth one hundred thousandths On it's
pre-war value.
In other words. the dollar instead
of being worth four and one fifth
marks as before the war, now is
worth 100000 marks.
The tremendous drop since the be-
alarm among 95 per cent of the pop
ulation and panic among the re-
naming per cent, which embrace
government, state and municipal Off
cials Food riots are expected in every
city during the next few days as the
result of the high prices which fol-
lowed the drop of the mark abroad.
Strikes for higher wages are
ing to union officials. The government
II seems, its plans having gone wrong
in the last few days.
The attitude of the more radical
population througout the country is
growing fiercer and more embittered
every day. The big internal crisis.
which has been expected for many
question is whether Chancellor Cuno
,and his non socialist government are
clever enough to cope with it.
