Bosses Check-Of
 Ignored By Public

New York, Sept. I.-The refusal of coal owners to abandon their check off and the silence of newspapers on iicity toward mine workers. The coal owners use their check-oh in the company store to collect doc tors fees, and for practically every other charge connected with the life
 of miner The worker has no voice
 in this proceeding-the money is jusr deducted from his envelope.
 In the case of the miners check off, the worker voluntarily assigns a certain amount of his wages to the unions representative to be collected by him.
 There is no comparison between these two check-offs. One IS com pulsory and one Is voluntary, yet the voluntary check-of IS pictured as the essence of evil, while no mention is made of the coal owners compulsory check-off
 President Lewis offered to waive the check-off demands of the miners If the coal owners would abandon their check-off. In reply the coal owners construed the offer to mean that the coal owners should not ex-, tend credit to miners in commercial and that the owners should deal with miners as individu- a1s The miners refused to accept this interpr citation of their letter and because of the coal owners trickery the present turmoil exists.

Popular Education
 Rapidly Extending

Washington, Sept. I.-The demand | for popular education Is rapidly grow l ing, says Charles c. Maphis, director of extension, University of Virginia, in a pamphlet on Education Exten- sion," isued by the United States >bu- reau of education.
 This demand, says Prof Maphis, comes from citizens of all occupations and ages who can not secure formal instruction. within schools and col leges as now organized.
 Notwithstanding the remarkable increase in enrolment in our secon- dary schools and colleges" he says, extension teaching has been the out standing feature of educational effort in this country in the past two years, and in growth has far surpassed any other phase of educational develop ment"
 Prof. Maphis gives this explanation of the remarkable educational move ment that IS now sweeping the coun- try:
 -"University extension is the organ ized and systematic effort to bring some of the advantages for culture and instruction within the university to people who are not enrolled as resident students, and thus to make the campus Of the university as wide as the state itself It renders the re- sources of the university's faculty, H brarries, laboratories and shops avail able to the largest possible number of individuals and communities, by car rying them out into the state and ap- plying them in creative helpfulness.
 "A university should not only dis cover truth, but disseminate truth; and university extension, therefore, is an attempt to bring the university to those who can not go to 1t. This Is especially true of state university, supported as 1t Is by the taxes of all the people; 1t is under moral and business obligation to render service to each citizen and to the state"

Ask Support For
 Labor College


 Portland, Ore, Sept. I.-The Gen. tra1 Labor Council has asked affili- ates to support the local labor col lege.
 It is estimated that $I,5oo will be needed to carry on activities planned. This can be met by the unions pur- chasing scholarships at a cost of one cent per member per month. The college has been in existence two years, and formerly operated as a cen tral labor council activity. It was found, however, that this added bur den on officers of the central body detracted from the efficiency of both the council and the college. The coun- Gil is now represented on the college board, as is the various local trade unions.

By International Labor News Servic,

Washington, D. C-Safety or
 greater production, which? l This is the choice confronting in dustry There is little doubt that
 many employers will chose greater
 production at the expense of safety unless organized labor is vigilant in guarding it's interests.
 That safety vs. greater production l Is vital issue in scores of industries
 was revealed in recent analysis of
 industrial accidents made by the Ma
 tional Bureau of Casualty and Sure | ty Underwriters. The analysis, which shows for the~frst time the exact de-
 gree of seriousness of each of the
 principal causes of industrial acci-
 dents, reveals that machines exposed
 at the point of operation. are the Ibig factor in accidents that mann and
 kill workers in shop, mine and fac 1 tory.
 Investigators for the bureau found 1 that the point of operation presented the most difficult problem to be met in safeguarding machinery and that in the case of many machines 1t is difficult to safeguard the point of op- eration without decreasing the ma chimes output.
 Accidents covered by the analysis all occurred within one year in the plants insured by members of the casualty bureau, which is the repre- sentative national organization of the chief stock casualty companies in the United States.
 The most striking revelation of this analysis was the seriousness of the point of operation on machines as an accident factor" says thea re- port, which continues:
 Safety engineers have always recognized that unguarded points of operation on machines constituted one of the most prolific sources of accidents But the high percentage of this type of accident revealed by the survey surprised all the insur- ance companies engineers and re- search men.
 These men were not surprised to find that in the machine shop indus tries machinery were responsible for about g per cent of the total acci- dent costs of those industries and that the point of operation of ma chimes alone was responsible for 20 per cent of the total accident cost. Contrary to- all expectations, however, the analysis revealed that in many in dustries the cost of accidents due to machines, and particularly to the point of operation of machines, was greater than for machine shop indus tries.
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-09-01

Tn the opinion of the men who made this analysis the unexpected se- verity of machinery accidents is ac- counted for by the fact that the point of operation is the accident cause to which workrnen are exposed the greater part of the time and by the fact that the point of operation of a machine presents the most difficult problem to be met with in mechanical guarding They found that in the case of some machines 1t is not diff fcult to design guards for the point of operation which will prevent acci- dents without reducing production; on the other hand, it is extremely diff cult to meet both these conditions in the case of many other machines.
 Furthermore, 1t was recognized that there Is constant tendency in industry to substitute mechanical for manual operations, and as result machine accidents are bound to cause an increasing proportion of the total number of accidents"

"In some industries the point of operation hazard was found to be re- sponsible for 50 per cent or more of the total accident cost of the indus try.
