WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 49,
Seven thousand four hundred and
seventy-eight industrial accidents to
Young workers under 21 years of age,
occurred in one year in three states,
according to a study just completed
bv the Children's Bureau of the Unit
ed States Department of Labor.
Thirty-eight of these accidents re-
suited in death and 920 in partial dis
ablement for life.
Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and New
Jersey were the states included in the
study. The cases of industrial acci-
dents to minors were only those in
which compensation had been paid;
that is, in Wisconsin,, accidents caus-
ing disability of more than 2 days
duration; in Massachusetts, and New
Jersey. accidents causing disability of
more than 10 days duration.
The smallest number of accidents
and the lowest accident rate occurred
in the case of children under Is. Each
of the states studied had attempted
to protect children of this age by
prohibiting them from employment in
certain occupations, chiefly in the OPP

THOUSANDS OF ACCIDENTS KILL
AND NJURE CHILD TOILERS

Grafton of the more dangerous ma
chinery, which is the source of great
est industrial hazard to the young
worker.
Children of 16 and II were pro-
hibifed from some employments in
Massachusetts and Wisconsin but in
all three states were permitted to op-
crate many of the dangerous ma
chimes.
Accident figures reflected this diff
ference in legal protection. Power
working machinery caused a larger
percentage of the accidents to the 16
and IL year olds than to children un-
der 16 = protected by law = or to
young workers between 18 and 21-
better able to protect themselves.
Accidents were also more serious
to the Is and II year group than to
either the younger or older workers.
Of the injuries to workers under 16,
1917 per cent resulted in death OF par
tiaI disablement for life. For those 1e
and II years old who were injured
the rate was 1874 per cent killed or
permanently disabled; for the group
1921 years the rate was 1877 per
cent.

STRONG FOR
La TOILETTE, SENATOR
LADD SAYS AFTER TRIP

By International Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 49,
Senator Edwin F. Ladd, who has re-
turned to Washington from an auto
mobile trip to North Dakota, in the
course of which he talked with people
all along the way, declares that the
Northwest will give its electoral
vote to the La Toilette Wheeler
ticket.
"Those standpat political optimists
who are shouting from the housetops
their claims of victory in the North
west and making their professional
claims to a coming victory for their
candidates, might just as well save
their energy in so far as the North
west is concerned" Senator Ladd
told international Labor News Serv-
ice. He continued:
Neither of the two old parties
need expect any great showing of
popular approval in the Northwest at
the coming election. For the past
month have been In personal touch
with the people Of that section and
know that they are tired of the man-
ner in which old-line party leaders
do things. Of course, professional
political claimants know this, too,
and their loud boasts are made for
consumption outside of the North
west. It is an old-time trick of the
antedated politician who clings to the
theory that he who shouts the loud
est will attract the most votes.
La Toilette Keeping Word
"The people of the Northwest
have been 'fed-up' on shouting and
have learned to value the man who
suits actions to words. Such a man
they know Robert NJ La Toilette to
be, and that is the principal reason
why the Northwest will give its cleo
toraI vote to Senator La Toilette.
Fighting Bob will carry the North
west, hands down against all comers.
"The record. of Senator La Toilette
in state and nation makes him the
logical candidate for president of the
United States. His experience, his
character, his courage, his record in
constructive Legislation ana admlnls-
trative ability meet the requirements
for leadership, such as present condi-
tions demand.
Special Interests Thwart People
1--WE have reached a point in
American history where popular gov
ernment is being thwarted and pro-
gressive legislation strangled by the
special interests which control party

It was this declaration by one of
the shrewdest stock manipulators in
the country that Offset rumors that
the dividend would be passed, and
permitted insiders" to make large
gains. nt
The passing of the dividend will be
a hardship to the trusts thousands
of unorganized workers who were
induced to invest in this stock. They
were told that the income would
protect them during unemployment.
Many of them are now unemployed,
and those who are working face wage
reductions. All of them have failed
to collect their dividends, while the
insiders" who knew the blow was
coming, have won more than their
dividends by playing the market
without a chance to lose.
The grim humor of the situation
is the warning to labor by these Gin
siders" and their political agents that
"the election of La Toilette will cause
hard times"

LEWIS LOCKS
 BOSS INV ROOM: s
 GETS MARRIED

CHICAGO, March 26.-Ed Stran- gler Lewis, heavyweight wrestling champion, locked his manager, Billy Sandow, in a local hotel room Wed nesday and got married.
 The wrestler's bride was Miss Bes- sic McNeary of Kansas City. The marriage took place in the temple here.
 Sandow had been tipped that Lewis intended to marry and he would not let him out of his sight. So Lewis got his manager inside . room at the Morrison, gave him a herculean shove, and locked the door from the outside.
 The contract which Lewis has with Sandow specified that he should not marry as long as he re- tained the championship.
