NEW YORK, July 22.-The i'm
portance of The health of the work
er is emphasized by Samuel Com
pers, veteran labor leader, in his in
PRODUCTION to a book on industrial
hygiene just published for the Ma
tional Health Council. In com
mending the council for Issuing the
book Mr.. Gonpers cites the remark
able experience of the workers of
his own union when he was a cigar
maker.
AS our union establishes benefits
for its members we kept union
records which showed that after the
establishment CT the eight-hour day
in 1886. the average length Of the
workers life was increased eighteen
years. eight months and ten days"
he said. !
OF the fifty million persons gain
fully employed, ten million are in
dustrial workers. When we consider
that at least half Of the approx
mately 100000 deaths. which OCCUR
annually among industrial workers,
could be prevented and that a large
portion of their SICKNESS and
physical defects could be avoided
according to the estimates OF re-
liable sanitarians, the significance
Of the scope Of industrial hygiene is
apparent"
The book was written by DR. Lee
K. Frankel head Of the welfare work

Company.

FLAMES CLAIM
TOLL IN FORESTS;
CALIFORNIA HIT
Fires Rage in Western
States Threaten to Set
High Mark,
By Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 22.-Forest
fires are threatening TO set a new
high toll of destruction and devasta-
ton this year.
The dry season has scarcely begun
yet fires have been raging in west
ern States with such frequency, that
forestry officials are greatly alarmed
over the prospects of what will hap
pen when the fire season" arrives.
Already more than 1000 acres of
forests in California alone have been
destroyed, while in New Mexico ana
Arizona last week eighty-six fires
were raging at one time.
This is the-worst fire season this
early in the year in history" E. A.
Sherman, assistant chief of the U.
S. Forestry Service, declared.
Sherman says unless unexpected
rains arrive the record Of 1922, when
51.s91 forest fires took place, is like
ly to be surpassed.
Damage Is S1s,67S,4S5
The area burned that year was
1850, 900 acres and the damage
amounted TO S16,678,485.
The latest big fire in California
broke out among the giant Sequoias,
trees 5000 years old. and for a time
threatened General Grant Park,
where sonHe of the biggest redwood
trees in the country are standing.
Sherman has Just been advised
rangers, aided by hundreds of volun-
teers from Fresno, fifty miles away,
had succeeded in getting the blaze
under control. At that time, how
ever, more than four thousand acres
in the pine belt had been wiped out.
California, Arizona and New Mex
leo have not been the only States to
suffer. One Of the most destructive
fires this year broke out in the Ara
paho forest fifty miles north>of Den
yer, Colo.
Sweeps Tree Tops
This fire was of the type known as
a crown FIRE" where the blaze
sweeps through the tree tops with
express train speed. leaving the
trunks and lower limbs to be burned
more slowly unless extinguished.
Despite the fact that three rang
ers and a force of volunteers were
on the scene ten minutes after the
blaze was discovered, so flercely did
ii burn that in three hours and a
half a whole section of three thou
sand acres was destroyed.
Failure Of Congress to proYide. ade-
quate money properly to keep watch
over and prevent forest fires is the
admitted cause of such disasters,
which, added to the lack Of an ade-
quate forest conservation policy. is
rapidly denuding the entire country
of trees.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.,' Oct. 1O.-- No change will be made in the gas rates and charges of the Alabama Power company at Montgomery, according to Il decision handed down today by the Alabama public service commission. The commission has had the case in- volving local gas rates under considera- tion for some time, following . hearing in the spring, and after ap' exhaustive study of the problems presented, de cided that the present rate should be retained.

Gunter, IT., today announced that the city commits sion intends to fight to the. end the ef- fort of the Standard Oil company to erect filling station at South Hull and Clanton streets, which Is classified as residential propefty by the city zon- ing ordinance. The company has asked for an injunction preventing the city from interfering with the construction of the plant.

 GET MORE TROOPS
Plans Taken Up At Con- ference Of Army Offi-
 cers In Atlanta
(Anniston Bureau)

ANNISTON, Ala, Oct. 10.-Tenta- tive plans were formulated at meet ing of the commanding officers of the fourth corps area in Atlanta this week for increasing the number of trainees to be stationed at Camp Mcclellan next summer, according to Captain J. 0. Whitaker, head of the quartermasters corps at Camp Mcclellan, who returned today from Atlanta. He represented the personnel at Camp Mcclellan and acted in an advisory capacity to the conference of army officials in Atlanta.

 No changes were made in the staff of officers who will have charge of the training activities at Camp Mcclellan in 1925. The twenty-second infantry, the eighth infantry and the sixth cav airy will return next summer and serve in the same capacities as they did dur ing the past two summers.
