Among the allegations made by

natives were being governed under
conditions that no decent people would
tolerate, that there was enforced
prostitution, and that natives were
tortured for minor offences. It was

ACCIDENTS IN

Conflicting Figures Has
D0Uis Up in the Air
lspseIal to The oaIIy w0rksrl

especial to The Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON, Dec. alt is
not known how many thou
sands of Industrial workers in
the United States were killed
this year thru Industrial acct
dent, James j. Davis, secretary
Of labor, declared in his annual
report made public this morn
ing. 80 far as can find out"
said Secretary Davis, land I
have spent some time in study
ing the matter, we do not know
what we are doing or where we
are going in the way of pre-
venting industrial disease"
"Poor" Davis is So Puzzled.
I'VE do not realize that no human
being on the face of the earth today
can tell within thousands how man.
American workers were killed in in
dustry last year." Davis added. q
nave seen estimates by our very best
authorities which fix the number OF
fatalities annually in industrial acct
dents at 1880, $4,000 and $1,000
range Of more than 10000.
"The experts Of the bureau Of labor
statistics have estimated these fatali-
ties at about 21,000. We say that
such information as we have indicates
that there are 2,453,41S industrial ac-
cidents annually. These figures are
truly appalling. But in the end they
are estimates based on limited statisti-
cal data. We want facts" The sec
rotary of labor did not add the we'll
known fact that many Of the large en-
ployers, such as the Standard Oil
company and the United States steel
corporation suppress the facts of the
numerous accidents and fatalities to
their employees, in many cases failing
to even make public an accurate list
of those killed.
Who's Prosperity?
"The American people are entitled
to know exactly what price they pay
in human life and limb for our indus
trial prosperity" is Davis conclusion.
Davis praises the strike breaking
cancellation commission" Of his de-
partment. First Of all, the aim Of the
department Of labor thru the concilia-
ton service is to prevent strikes and
sockouts," the secretary k6l labor as
serts, ito stop trade disputes before
they reach the point where an open
break occurs"
Trade unionists know that the COM
missioners Of Cancellation Of the de-
partment of labor work at all times
