LARGE INCREASE IN
INDUSTRIAL DEATHS

Albany, n. Y, March 5.--During
January, l69 industrial fatalities were
reported 10 the WoIkman's Compensa-
ton Bureau, according to n statement
issued by Industrial Commissioner
James A. Hamilton.
"This number the commissioner
added, rs greatly in excess of those
reported fer the past few months and
Is the highest number recorded since
November, 1928. While in each of
these cases il was alleged that the
death resulted in the course of or in
connection with the occupations of
the deceased workers. il is not yet
known how many will be construed as
coming under the provision of the
Workmen's Compensation Law
An analysis of the ages of the de-
ceased workers revealed that As were
under 30 years of age and 40 We're
more than SO years old.
The reports as filed at present, with
some of them still incomplete, show
that 245 dependents survive the de-
ceased employees. Their relationship
to the bread winner was as follows:
LOG widows, 2 widoNers, % parents,
2 grandparents, l6 brothers and sis
tiers and "a children. This last group
included 10 under 2 years of age, q
between 2 and 6 years old, 20 ranging
in ages from 6 to 10, 20 over 10 and

We are glad to note that the postal

The fate Of this legislation hung
in the balance 20 almost the closing
hours of this Congress, which kept
the postal workers In a state Of sus.
pense for days and weeks. Il should
be kept clearly in mind however, that
there has been 10 real increase in
postal salaries. All that has been
done, is to partially restore the pur'
chasing power of their salaries TO q
pre-waf basis. Another $500 will
have to be added To their salaries be.
fore this will purchase as much Of
the necessities of life as they did in
1913.
Likewise the postal rates have, to
all intents and purposes, been shrink.
ing during the last ten years and all
this new law does. is To bring them
uD nearer to the point they were be
fore the war. Then mechanic
could take the wages he would cam

10 send twenty letters anywhere IN the
L. s. Now the same mechanic may
take his wages fof one hours work
and buy enough postage to send sixty
letters anywhere IN this country. So
II is we'll fer us to remember that the
new law has gone only about half
as far as il should 20 to render
Justice to both the postal employees
and the public.

indianapolis, Ind, March By a
vote of about four to one, the Cham

decided that Terre Haute "is to be an

OF course the mere voting of the

another will not make it so and OF
ganized labor is smiling at the effort
of the open shoppers TO do away with
organized labor in that city. As a
matter of fact ii can not be done and
the vote of the Chamber members IS
merely a part of the huge conspiracy
of union busters TO crush union labor
over the country.
Employers have not been able TO

plains it easily.
The State Federation of Labor Of
Indiana, of course, will see that the
union workmen of Terre Haute have a
square deal, and the open shop drive

The mere fact that a substantial mum

that there still are those employing

NEW PLAN
STANDARDIZES LABOR

Pittsburgh, Pa, March 5.-The
tendency in industry Is to make the
average man a cog in the great pro
cesses Of production, according to the
annual report of President Thomas ).
Baker Of the Carnegie institute Of
technology.
The movement in modern life the
report says, is in the direction OF
magnifying the Importance Of men Of
great endowments in all lines Of en-
deavor, and Of minimizing the I'M
portance of the man Of average tai
ents, of making him a unit IN the
machinery Of civilization which he can
serve. but in whose direction he can
have but little authority.
This tendency toward the me
ehanization Of our existence may be
deplorable. but whether We like II or
not, the trend of the times is irresis.i-
BILE"
Another tendency, according 10
Professor Baker, is toward the unit
ing Of plants and the Standardization
of their products. This will result
In uniform production, and the stand
ardization will place premium on
organization and administration. The
average man, however, will be a mere
unit I'm this process, said DR.. Baker.

RROOKWOOD COLLEGE
I'd TRAIN WORKMEN
SPOKESMAN SAYS

By la.aruational Labor News Service.
Chicago, March 5.-Delegates to
the Chicago Federation of Labor had
an opportunity to obtain first hand
information concerning the aims and
objects of Brookwood College, a resi-
Ger sade union educational institu
taa. when Clinton S. Golden, fiel.
representative of the college, addres
ed the last regular meeting of the
Chicago central body.
Brookwood is situated at katonah,
n. Y, 40 miles from New York City,
on the Harlem branch of the New
York Central Railroad, and was estao-
lshed in 1920. Its board is composed
Of / / prominent members of organized
labor, and the institution is affiliated
with the Workers Educational Bureau
Of America, indorsed by the American
Federation of Labor.
Tells Aims of College
Mr.. Golden is making a tour of the
industrial centers of the country to
acquaint trade unionists with the pur-
poses of the college and to make con
tacts with prospective students. HIS
trip will take him as far west as the
Pacific coast.
We do not aim so much to get
into personal touch with ~ersons who
desire to become students as we do to
learn from officers of bona fide trade
unions who in their opinion would
make good material" said Mr.. Golden;
Il Wis TO deny most emphaucally,
he said, the absurd rumor which mas
pained currency that it is our ann 10

come business agents and lnterna-

and we further demand a guarantee
that his or her services shall be placed

graduation so that the organization
may reap the benefit of the training
thus obtained.
Students Efficiency Increased
We do not set up the claim that
these students who have taken oui
eourse can solve all of the problems
Of their unions, but we do say tna'

for the month of January the level of
Wholesale prices was so per cent

prices ended 1924 at point 81 per
cent above the level Of 1913. Whole.
sale prices 30 Der cent above 1919.
Thus there has been a i0-point gain
in six months.
Farm products now show a higher

commodities. They are 63 per cent
above 1913 compared with 81 per cent
IN December, when the farm j.. price

Grams, hogs, sheep, poultry, eggs,
tobacco and wool contributed largely

Compared with last January farm
products have advanced 10 points
while all commodities have averaged
gain Of nine points.
Building materials are another
group Of commodities where an up
ward trand IS evident. Between De
eember and January they advanced
from ID per cent above 1918 TO 10
