MISHAPS 2O,94l
IN YEAR 1923

A great increase in industrial &C
cidents took place in the state last
for the year. an increase of 25 per
cent over the 16,705 reported in 1922
and 1888 in 1921.
The unusually high increase in
spite of the fact that the state has
better regulations for industrial acct
den prevention than any other state
in the union is believed only partly ex
planned by the fact that more men
were engaged in industry during the
last year than the year before. The
increase in accidents is greater than
the increase in employment.
Machine Percentage Less
The relative increase i'm machine
accidents is lower than the increase
in accidents generally it is found.
There was big increase in employ
ment in wood working and metal
working shops. Machine accident pre-
vention in the state is believed to be
responsible for keeping down accl-
dents in these departments.
OF the injuries IT'S per cent came
from machinery, 12.5 percent in falls
against objects, PAS per cent in hand
ling objects.
Total Cost $3,5oOO0o
The accidents cost total of about
S3,5O0,O0O. The amount of indemnity
paid amounted to $2,794,998 and med
tcaI aid $924,O32
