The United States Government
sanctions working conditions that
would not be tolerated. by private
employers, it is declared by the
Federated American Engineering
Societies, which appeal for Fed
eral safety program.
ASKS FEDERAL CONTROL.
Congress is asked to enact safety
legislation providing for the safe
construction and equipment OF
buildings, regular inspection, and
the training Of employees to. observe
proper precautions against accident.
Creation Of some administrative
body with authority similar TO
that OF industrial commissions IN
the several States for preventing
unsafe conditions of work in the
Federal establishments il urged.
"The Government should, In les
industrial plants, set an example to
private employers, by providing
for its own employees working con-
ditions which are safe, hygianic
and sanitary" says the statement
issued by the engineering fedora
ton and prepared by Morton g.
Lloyd, vice president of the Arneri-
and member of the board OF cotn-
cilIors OF the Eyesigllt Cpnserya
ton Council Of America Mr..
Lloyd is chief of the safety section

Standards.
EVILS POINTED OUT.
The engineers assert that these
evils have been pointed out by the
Congressional Joint Commission on
Reconsideration of Salaries, but no
remedy has been applied. Federal
safety standards were drawn mp
during the war, 1t was said, but
there is no officer with authority
to enforce them. The statement
continues: 49, a.S4
Although the United States EN-
ployes' Compensation Commission
is now expanding approximately
So, 000, 900 per annum to alleViate
the results OF industrial accidents,
It has no authority to take action
of preventive nature which might
obviate the necessity for this ex-
penditure and the loss Of life and
limb which it connotes."
UNIFORM LAWS URGED. 4
The Federated American Engi-
neering societies also recommend
of uniform legislation aiming at
the creation of administrative Off
Gals who shall have the power to
make and to enforce regulations for
the prevention of accidents and
Industrial diseases.
"Safe methods OF practice In In
dustry," say the engineers, sfrep.
resent one of the ways to eliminate
the waste of human life and of
materials in manufacturing and
productive processes, and tt Is

Playing With Strong st.
Benedict Prep School
Eleven

Charley Hughes, popular local
athlete, is making a creditable show
ing on the gridiron with the strong
st. Benedict Prep School eleven, of
Newark. this fall.
The former local high school star,
has started the two games played to
date, at right end, and finished the
contests at one of the halfback pos
itions. He played a prominent part
in the 40 win scored over the
Rutherford team at City field, New
ark about two weeks ago, and also
in the second victory of the season,
registered at the expense of the Will
mington Silecian school, Wilmington
Del, by a 1870 score, last Saturday.
The latter contest was played at Del
ware
st. Benedicts was booked to play
the Newman High School eleven, of
Lakewood, tomorrow afternoon, but
the latter team cancelled and it is
probable that the Seton Hall Prep
team will be booked instead.
The biggest game of the season
will be with the Peddie prep team for
the championship of the state. This
contest has been set down for a
week from tomorrow.
Hughes has made a creditable re-
cord on the gridiron, track and bas-
ketball court throughout this state
during the past several seasons, and
his activities are being closely fol-
lowed by the sporting fans of Middle
sex county. The local boy has also
carried the st. Benedict colors in

lions. There is a great deal of RI
valry between the two teams.
The st. Mary's eleven took the
tenville manager in last Sundays
encounter, and the entire squad will
