Safety Work Benefits ToiIers

Wisconsin is decreasing industrial accidents and
workers of the state are benefting
Results attained in Wisconsin indicate that it is posi-
bic to largely decrease the number Of accidents that kill
and njure workers and that presumably this be done
without seriously cutting down production.
That safety and increased production do not always
get along we'll together the conclusion arrived at by the
National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters as
result of analysis of industrial accidents just COM
completed by the bureau.
The bureau found that in the of some machines
it is not difficult to design guards for the point of opera
ton which will prevent accidents without reducing pro-
ducon but that on the other hand it is difficult to meet
both these conditions in the of other machines
Wisconsin, however, has been reducing accidents as
the result of organized work to promote safety That the
safety work has not reduced porduction to any extent
ndicatedby the fact that loud howl has been raised by
Wisconsin manufacturers. If there had been any great
cut in output following installation of safety devices they
would have raised cry of protest that would have made
the Wekin ring.
Death benefits in Wisconsin have been raised from
$1,000 to $780, Children under year to receive
900 death compensation and the permanent disability
has been increased from $50 900 weeks The rate
of payment for temporary disability has been raised from
$500 to $500 week. Burial expense allowances have
been increased from 500 to 5000.
All these increases in benefits with others that lack
of space prevents mention Of have been made without in
creasng the average burden employees The results
psh Decrease in the number of accidents permits larger
benefits for those victims of accidents which even the
best efforts of safety engineers have been unable to pre-
vent entirely.
Workmen should study and remember what Wiscon-
sin has done for safety. The states work is conclusive
reply to greedy employers who say that safeguarding ma
chneIy does little to prevent accidents.

DEAD EMPEROR'S CASTLE
To HOUSE CONGRESS- OF
WORLDS WOMEN TOILERS

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.--Perhaps moth
ing hsows better the change that the
war brought to Europe than the an
nouncement that the International
Federation of Working Women will
hold its biennial congress beginning
August Ia at Vienna in the Schon-
brun Castle, the summer residence of
the late Emperor Franz Joseph.
One of the most autoeratic and re-
dictionary of modern monarchs, Franz
Joseph would doubtless turn over in
his grave if he knew that working
women from thirty countries-cap
makers, laundresses. glove and gar
ment workerS-would meet in the
place once sacred to "blue- blooded"
parasites who never did a stroke of
useful work in their lives.
Franz Joseph would very likely be
still more disturbed If he knew that
the working women would discuss
peace, which his militaristic govern
ment hated so bitterly. In addition to
reports on women's work for peace
there will be a report on international
labor organization, as we'll as discus
sionS on women's trade unions, regu-
lation of the wage of women workers.

take a greater interest in unions, and

per cent had earned less than $500
a week. Often the mothers and chill
dren had suffered physically through
low living standards even before the
fathers death and needed medical
and health service, as we'll as advice
about food and general hygiene. The
agencies aimed to bring the families
up to par physically, to suggest the
best methods of household manage
ment, to advise about the recreation
of children, and to act as friends Of
the lonely mother.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the whole report is the chapter en-
titled What the aid meant to the
children" Instance after instance is
given of the homes and families to
whom aid meant the difference be-
tween despair and the chance for
happiness. For example:
"rhe 50 family came to the atten-
ton of the officials administering
allowances through the school, The
teachers reported that the children
were irregular in attendance, habit
ually tardy, and that they were poorly
clothed and appeared to be neglect
ed. Their school work was poor, and
thy frequently fell asleep over their
lessons. Investigation showed that
the father had died the year before,
leaving little to his wife and four
small sons except the heavily mort
gagged ramshackle house in which they
lived. They earned a scanty living
by selling papers. The mother was
frail, and she and the children were
out in all kinds of weather, often in
rain-soaked shoes and too thin cloth
ing. They were up early in the morn
ing to sell and were often out until
late at night. They were given aid

school. One boy was in high school
and the others had good grade
school records.
| Zone spirited woman with
six children had tried to struggle
along with what she could make out
of keeping a confectionery store, al
which she hoped that school children
would buy. She had no business
training, and things went very badly
There were days when her own chill.
dren came from school to find not
even bread, and she heard them cry
with hunger. But it was only when
a kindly neighbor, suspecting the
truth, said to her, Look me in the eye
and tell me whether you had any
thing to eat today that the truth
came out, and public aid was ar
ranged for the family.
THE contrast that exists between
many homes struggling along with
no such aid and one in which it is
being adequately administered was
brought out by Mrs. N. in telling of
her own childhood. 4 thank God for
