Always Blame Workers

San Francisco, April 27-The state industrial accident commission ob- jects to the policy of always blaming employees for accidents. It has be come a habit, says the commission to fail to analyze causes and ascer- tain just what happened.
 "The unfortunate employe is usual ly unable to present his side. Some times he is six feet underground. It looks as though employees were sup posed to have all the cirtues and none of the frailities of human exist ence. They must do the exact thing, at the right time, never make mis- takes and have the brain and mind trained to work in unison.
 "The plain truth is that employees are human beings. They make mis- takes and are careless, just like em- ployers and others. This is not an argument in favor of carelessness. Far from it. It is an appeal for com mon sense in considering accident causes, for the recognition of human imperfectibility as applicable to em ployers, employees, editors, and what not"

Has Connecticut
 Been Unprotected
(Continued from Page One.)

J. Spellacy in the case of Ernest Schleifer, wherein 1t was contended that the information did not reveal that any law had been violated.
 Is it possible that the legislators of the past century, the attorneys and the courts have been so negligent of their duties as to permit this state to exist without laws forbidding the commission of the crimes mentioned therein? And if such is the case, is it not equally remarkable that so long a period of time has elapsed without some rogue or scoundrel discovering that fact?
 Or are the facts that in an eager ness to prosecute on the part of a public official proper care was not taken in the preparation of the in- formation and movement IS now placed under way to cover up?
 Public policy demands that ex- treme care be exercised on the part of legislators in enactnlg new laws to avoid cumbering the books with use less statutes, thereby possibly nulli- flying valuable and necessary laws and the further danger of enacting laws which might be used for repression of free speech when such was not the intention.
 Recent events have proven that it is not what the law actually says or what was intended, but the interpre- tations that are placed thereon

ELEVATORS ARE DEADLY.

Washington, April 27.-The April issue of the Monthly Labor Review, published by the United States bureau of labor statistics, contains an account of the hazards incidental to the op- eration of elevators because of the lack of fully protective and enforce able code.
 The occurrence of I,I22 fatal eleva- tor accidents in Chicago and New Y ork during the past II years IS sui fcient evidence of the need for drastic measures to insure protection against this hazard, 1t IS stated.

Anti-UniOn Rail
 Officials Would
 Intimidate Voters

San Bernardino, Ca1 April 27.- Officials of the anti-union Santa Fe railroad were in evidence at the munici- pal election held in this city. The head of the mechanical department considered the election so important he came to this city and took immediate charge of the company's voters. This official, it is stated, actually shook hands with every strlkebreaker, who was advised to "vote right"
 This activity was caused by 1abor's non-partisan campaign. The workers de- feated the vicious non-picketing ordinance, but lost the mayora1ity. The closing days of the contest was marked by much bitterness

Going On Strike

 workman was recognized as an em
 ploye of the company in spite of his
 absence from the shops during the strike Compensation allowance is computed for the time the workman had been employed in the services ol the company the length of time he was on strike having in no way an effect on this compensation for pay ment. So we have here clear cut recognition of the right of the work man to strike and still retain his status as an employe of the company. Such decisions have been rendered by the Compensation Law Commission CTS in nearly every state in which compensation is paid to injured work men.
 To avert strikes many attempts, at legislation have been attempted and invariably they have gone down to defeat, to make the strike unlawful has been the desire of big business for many years, but to compel big business to recognize the rights of workmen has been looked upon as confscation of industry or Bolshe- Tism, not until workmen are given the right to dictate to their employ CT, will the workmen COnCede the right of the employer to dictate to them as to how, where, when and for what they shall work. The strike Is inevitably the result of workmen be-
 ing injured by real mistakes on the part of the employer, and sometimes the workmen themselves are not without fault, but wherever the fault may lay for the commencement of a strike, the side which prolongs the time of settlement then becomes the aggressor and to them some law com polling adjudication should be ap- piled.
 Legislation making strikes unlawful will never be recognized by workmen in this country, as they we'll know that such law would be unconstitu- tional as the Thirteentlf Amendment vides that "neither slavery nor in voluntary servitude, except as a pun ishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction" " Anti-strike legislation engenders in voluntary servitude, and American workmen will revolt against any law that will make of them slaves to pri- vate employers or industry.
 The right of men to work needs recognition today, laws that will com pei work to be found for needy and willing hands is the cry of the times, Let us first find work for all hands before wasting time preventing groups of workmen from putting their work in an endeavor to better their conditions, and whenever an employ CT deliberately prevents trained and skilled workmen from a discussion of their grievances so as to bring about their return to his work, he deprives his industry, the community, and the people of right that is God given, the right to work for Livelihood and to him the law should be applied.

Printers Floor Senate

Washington, April 27-In the mat ter of spelling the name of an insular possession of this country, printers in the government printing office forced the senate to accept their form.
 Porto Rico means nothing what ever" said General Mcintyre, chief of the bureau of insular affairs. "It is a misnomer. We should have retained the old Spanish spelling of the island (Puerto Rico) and planned to do so when the present organic act was passed by congress. However, the printers had an order to spell it Por, to Rico, and every time the bill went to them with the correct spelling it was changed Finally the senate gave up the wraagle and permitted the present spelling to stand"

Eugene G, Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, said this week, after a meeting of the board of directors, that the corpora ton had solved it's labor problem by employing Mexican workmen.
 The statement was regarded as significant in view of the recent plea of Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel Corporation, that immigration bars be let down to overcome the short age of labor.
 Mexican i1nmigratoin is unlimited and does not come under the quota law.

MEXICANS AS LABORERS SOLVE
 SHORTAGE OF BETHLEHEM STEEL

Approximately 1000 Mexicans have found work in all the Bethlehem Steel plants, MT. Grace said. They are paid the regular common labor rate, and i'll some cases have proved so effic- tent that promotions have followed as a matter of course
 Most of them come from northern Mexico. They are intelligent and hardy and answer all requirements, Mr. Grace said
 Ebert H. Gary, asked why the United States Steel Corporation does not employ Mexicans, said:
 "The United States Steel Corpora ton has tried out Mexican labor and has found 1t satisfactory"

COURT AIDS RAILROADS.

Boston, April 27.-The federal court has issued permanent order re- straining the interstate commerce commission from carrying out it's order providing for the sale of rail- road mileage tickets at a 20 per cent reduction. The court said the order is "without warrant of law and for this reason 1t must be annullef."
 More than so eastern railroads united to attack the commissions s order.
