ACCIDENTS
Great Aid To Industrial
Unrest

Chicago.-A grave factor in indus
trial unrest is to be found in recurr-
ing accident, says the American Con-
tractor, which calls for more light on
this subject.
The tremendous waste involved,
continues this publication, affects not
only the injured workman and his in
sured employer, but goes deeper, for
accidents increase labor turnover, fo-
ment unrest among fellow employees,
break up coordination and break
down that morale that is necessary to
management if production is to con-
tinue with minimum of friction.
"A recent study by the department
Of labor shows that there occur annu-
ally in the United States, under nor
NAL industrial condition approximate
ly 21,000 accidents resulting in death.
In addition, workmen incur 100000
injuries, which result in the loss of
one or more weeks of working time.
In other words, minimum of 2S,846
years of labor time are lost yearly
because of Industrial accidents
"All of this loss occurs despite the
fact that millions of dollars have been
spent in accident prevention work
These extensive safety activities
throughout the nation have probably
resulted in accident reduction, but
the effect Of specific campaigns and
methods can only be surmised owing
to the lack of adequate and reliable
accident statistics and analyses"

Phoenix, Ariz.Gov. George w. p.
Hunt has issued an official proclama-
tion calling upon Arizona citizens to
decline orders for munitions of war,
in order to show their friendship for
the government of Mexico which is
now defending itself against the de
la Huerta rebellion
During the past few years, Under
the administration of President Obre-
gon," says Gov. Hunts proclamation,
Mexico has been on peaceful basis,
her government has been recognized
by the nations of the world, her busi-
ness has revived, the country has be-
gun to prosper and her citizens are
enjoying the fruits of peace.
"A candidate for the presidency of
Mexico has again undertaken to re-
sort to civil warfare in an effort to
overthrow the present government" !"
he continues.
"The people of Arizona, while
maintaining strict neutrality in the
affairs of the Mexican government,
yet sympathize with the efforts of the
government to maintain peace in or
der that her people may live in
safety"
Declaring that "there is reason to
believe that arms, ammunition, and
munitions of war are being purchased
in Arizona for use in Mexico" he
holds that:
While our people have the legal
and moral right to carry on COM
merce with whoever solicits it, yet
under the existing circumstances
believe that the people of Arizona
can best serve the people of Mexico,
the people of the world and the in
terests of our own state by refusing
to traffic in munitions of war"
The proclamation concludes:
"Now, therefore, /, George W. P.
Hunt, governor of Arizona, do ur-
gently recommend that the business
men and merchants of the state of
Arizona decline to accept and fill or
ders for munitions of war and that
they in particular decline to sell such
munitions of war to aliens.
"And / do further call upon the
sheriffs of the various counties and
the peace officers throughout the
cities and towns of this state to rig
orously enforce all existing laws with
respect to the possession of arms and
ammunition.

Cut Yourself a Piece of Cake

Two centuries ago, Benja-
min Franklin gave some good
advice to the poor on how to
become rich. Now the Sat,
urday Evening Post, founded
by him, endorses Melons
tax revision plan which
shows the 'poor' rich how
to become richer.
In an editorial entitled,
"Cut Yourself Piece of
Cake" The Post defends
Andy Melons tax revision
scheme to greatly reduce the
taxes of the very rich and
slightly reduce the tax on
very small tax payers. 1t
shifts the burden of the
taxes on the smaller fellow
and relieves the big fellow.
1t does just what Wall street
has wanted for some time
and the credulous public be-
lieve most of the bunk that
is written in favor of the
plan by the propaganda or
gans of big business.
Eighty per cent of the peo-
pie are not affected directly
by the proposed Mellon tax
reduction while. the 20 per
cent who pay-and justly so
the tax on the larger in
comes will be greatly re-
lieved.
The burden will be shifted
indirectly to the house of
want by the kept politicians
of the house of have.
About the time that Andy
Mellon gets his tax reduction
across, congress will pass the
bonus to obtain the soldiers
vote and Senator Smoot will
come forth with the sales
tax-which is a method de-
vised by Wall street to tax
the stomachs of the poor and
take the taxes off the pocket
books of the rich.
Let. us take one typical
example to show the incon-

sistency of Melons tax re-
duction plan. The married
man with a family who has
an income of $4,000 a year,
would only save S22.75. The
wealthy man with an income
of S1,000,000 a year would
save over $250,000. In other
words 200 heads of families,
each having an income of
$4,000, would have total
income of one million dollars
and would only save S4,550,
while one man with a single
income of a million would
save S258,27S each year.
One millionaire saves S243,-
72S more than two hundred
people, each having a $4,000
income, but paying in all the
same amount os the multi
millionaire. Who's the goat?
Instead of the people cut
ting themselves a piece of
cake the idea is to give the
rich more cake and take a
little more bread away from
the workers of the nation. 1t
is a new method of setting
the rich mans table so that
fewer crumbs will fall off for
poor Lazarus.
After appropriating mil
lions to pay off the war
profiteers and grafters, after
guaranteeing the railroads a
fixed return after the war,
after protecting the organ
lied robbers with an indefen-
sible tariff-Mellon and his
crowd now propose to de-
prive the soldier, who fought
the war, of a paltry bonus
and relieve those who have
gouged the government in
war and peace times of a just
tax on their huge incomes.
Where do the people get any
cut of the cake? The pe0-
pie get a gold brick. Andy
furnishes the brass and the
reactionary periodicals put
on thin gold plate.

Nations Must Take League
Or be Led by international
Finance, Gompers Declares

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Defning the
international issue as being one be-
tween the League of Nations or a
league of financiers, Samuel Com
pers in the leading article of the Jan
uary issue of the official magazine,
the American Federationist, declares
the League of Nations is "the only
approach to democracy among ma
tions." Mr.. Gompers finds the League
also lis the only international body
IN existence or seriously proposed
that serves as a continuous open fo-
rum for the nations"
Seeing as the alternative league
of international fnanciers, whose
present operations he describes in
much detail, Mr.. Gompers finds that
secret diplomacy, the old order of
international affairs, might not be
| particularly dangerous in these DAYS
of newspaper enterprise if it were
not for the existence of these huge
international interests operating
across national boundaries"
Declaring that the interest of
Americans in European affairs is
growing, Mr.. Gompers states that
Europe promises to be an overshad-
owing issue in 1924. Our interest
changes from month to month and
almost from day to day, but it grows;
disarmament, proposed economic con-
ferences or world court, in one form
or another, Europe is always before
US.
"As long as the League of Nations
or some association of nations was
before the country our foreign rela-
tions-including economic questions
and proposed remedies against the
recurrence of war-were discussed
in the open. International financial
interests were forced to subordinate
themselves to the discussion of funda-
mental international principles.
Discussion Now in Secret
within four years a great and
ominous change has taken place. The
whole atmosphere of international dis
cussion has become clouded. Inter
national financial interests no longer
operate in the open and their sub
sidized propaganda cover the entire
field of international discussion as
with smoke screen. The change
| began when President Harding, I'M
mediately after his election, ceased
all reference to his proposed CAS-
sociation of Nations 1t was accen-
tuated when Secretary Hughes began
to show in his state utterances that
he had abandoned his support of the
League of Nations with reservations.
And, finally, the ideal atmosphere for
the intrigue and propaganda and Sc
cret diplomacy of financiers was pro-
vided when Secretary Hughes later
pronouncements struck at the very
foundations of any conceivable asso-
citation of nations

by organized labor because it is the
