CASUALTY LIST
OF LABOR PILES
UP IN maryland
Army of 38, 972 Injured
and 139 Killed
BY PHILIP cHATzKY.

BALTIMORE. Md, Oct 26--From
report issued by the Baltimore
safety council, industrial division,
we learn of few very important
characteristics throwing a light on
the anarchy existing in industry and
the cheapness Of the lives of those
who are engaged in producing the
wealth Of our nation.
During the fiscal year of 1924,
1879 workers were killed and 1892 in
iured, Of that number 1928 resulted
II disability to some degree. of which
$40 were disabled for long periods or
permanently.
Classified List.
The classification of those injured
is as follows: $40 machinists, 4O7 help
ers. POS shop foremen, 2s6 machine
operators, 466 stevadores, 166 sales
men and women, 2O9 auto mechanics,
234 boilermakers, 173 butchers, sos
carpenters, 469 chauffers, 81 car men,
17S drivers, 121 conductors, ia clerks,
10S firemen, 1T motormen, 125 paint
ers, 1O7 packers, 14S molders and go
pipefitters.
1t will be noticed that out of the
407 helpers, and an almost equal num-
Der machine operators, most are
young workers, employed in the
Maryland Industries, some of them
under 16 years of age employed to
a great degree by the Federal Tin,
and Bats Can Co, where not a day
passes without an accident to work
ers.
Needs "organization''-of Labor.
George w, Knapp, ir., chairman Of
the safety council, states frankly
that more than 1919 of injuries were
followed by infections, and most of
them could have been prevented by
proper care and attention at the time
the accidents occurred.
THE record of accidents in indus
tries clearly shows the need of safety
devices and organizations in plants"
Mr.. Knapp comes to the conclusion.
The workers of Maryland should
learn from those figures. that their
lives, the lives of their wives and
children, do not amount to anything
under capitalism, where profits are
above human life.

tract attention from his unspeakable
betrayal of the members of his own
union whom he did not consult at all
in the matter, and decided to raise
big noise about George Hardy.
Wilson went to extraordinary
lengths, issuing leaflets exposing"
Hardy as a professional red agita-
tor" a "Bolshie," a "desperado" and
quite a lot of leaflets calling him a
German spy" because Hardy was
imprisoned by Judge Lands along
with hundred more l. w. w. during
the war because the lumber and cop
per miners Of the I. w. w. struck
for economic demands, at that time
stated to be justified by commissions
appointed by the president and Sec
rotary of War Baker.
Poetized over Hardy
Wilson's N. s. F. U. put out thou
sands of leaflets merely to attack
Hardy, some on green paper, some
in red print on white paper, all at
tractively sensational. They even
wrote a parody on classical old
song about Hardy, or rather to
threaten him, because he had been,
so it alleged, a German spy" This
junk, in part said:
"There's many pal asleep in
the deep,
So beware, Hardy, beware"
Whatever is the outcome of the
British seamen's strike, the organiza-
tional side will be in the melting pot
Two points of view exist; one is to
form new union, another, to join
the Amalgamated Marine Workers
Union and leave the National Sailors
and Firemen's Union, and to create a
seamen's section of the Transport and
General Workers Union. The Seafarer
has the following to say on these
alternatives:
Our Advice: Stay in Your Unions.
"None of these points entirely meet
the situation. To leave the N. S. F. u.
in favor of joining the A. M. w. u.
would mean little or nothing to Brit
ish seamen, for it would leave the
p C. 5. still existing. The shipowners
would keep to this pernicious system
for blacklisting seamen who were de-
termined to fight their friend Wilson.
"By matchmaking the two unions
the P. c. can not only be rendered
harmless, but could actually become
useful in building up a strong, real
seamen's union. We venture to say:
the shipping federation would i'm
mediately disagree on the operation
of the P. C. 5, for if it meant forcing
every seaman into the union, which
would be a good thing, then there is
no doubt as to their answer.
No New Union.
ITO build up a new union is too
amateurish and would lead to the
confusion already so dangerous TO the
seamen. It is true that a union
could be organized, especially during
this dispute.
1T is one thing to organize a union
during the heat of strike, and an
other to maintain It in the face of
existing obstacles which will not dis
appear with the end Of the strike.
Build seamen's Section Of T. and
G. w. U.
Probably the most effective way to
end the p. G. is by organizing a
section for seamen within the t. and
G.. w. U. With the backing seamen
could get from lockers, they would
have power to stop it being used as
a blacklist. But IL such a section
was formed. II should be with the OBJ
ject of taking in both the Amalgam-
ated Marine Workers Union. and the
National Sailors and Firemen's Union.
With this end in view, joint meet.

following decision:
That this joint meeting Of strike
committees agree to the formation OF
seamen's section Of the Minority
Movement to operate within the A. M.

pose of educating the rank and file

Sailors and Firemen's Union, proves
by stenographic report of the meeting
of the maritime board. that Wilson
gave the ship owners a reduction o
seamen's wages without the owners
even asking for it. Wilson, address
ing the meeting, said:
"Now we come, and having taken
into consideration what you did last
year. We have come to say to you
this morning. We will give up that
E at once-without any argument,
without any alarming statements
about what is going to happen, and
so on. We do that, and hope, MIR.
Chairman, and you, gentlemen, will
recognize that in doing that we are
doing manly thing, and certainly
in the right spirit, too-qute the
right spirit. You might have come
here and talked about 3os., or some
other figure, but it is better for US
to suggest a reduction, and when
! say that is what we suggest
want you to understand that this is
our offer, and we advise you to I'M
derstand that this Is our offer, and
we advise you strongly to accept
IT,"
Wilson was conscious that he was
conspiring with the shipowners in the
robbery of British seamen, but the
scoundrel that he is, hurled epithets
at them in front of the shipowners
and the trade union officials who have
openly condemned him and hundreds
who are conscious of his treachery to
the whole trade union movement are
quite justified in their attitude, in the
light of the latter statement. Again,
he safes:
$50 we offer the ell" and then
goes on to say: "Now want to tell
you this and ! want the sympathy
Of your side in this. These are my
colleagues; these are the men that
have to face the ordinary sailors,
fremen, cooks and stewards. | know
what they have gone thru, what
they have got to be subject to for
at least the next month, or perhaps
two months"
It is quite clear that he anticipated
trouble for his officials and delegates
but as far as he was concerned, he
felt quite safe, for he again stated
to the shipowners:
$50 far, as I am concerned there
will be abuse heaped on me in tons.
! DO NOT HEAR 1T. | AM NOT
THERE. ! am safely fixed in place
called ST. Georges Hall. What does
It matter to me If fellow on a ship
Is cursing me and saying ought to
be shot. do not hear II. =. The
abuse which these good gentlemen
will be subject to will not come
from the union men, but from a lot
Of dirty useless rubbish"
Thanks for the scab.
The chairman then remarked:
Thank you, Mr.. Wilson. I understand
your offer, of course, includes the
short sea trades?"
Wilson: Everything"
The shipowners then retired for
twnty minutes and returned, and the
chairman informed the officials Of the
N. S. F. u. as follows:
swell, Mr.. Wilson and gentlemen.
You have been very straightforward
and frank with US. We want to &C
cept the proposal you have made
from the point Of view In which II
has been made, and because we
think that II may be Of assistance
to US in bringing about other reduc.
tlons. go As said before, II makes
II much easier for us to accept what
after all is, you will understand,
only drop In the bucket"
No wonder that, after being caught
with the goods on like this, Wilson
ooked around for an issue to dis.

ARIZONA URGED
TO SEEK MORE
u. S. ROAD AID

Arizona should not hesitate to
seek federal aid in extending high
ways of the state to the further
most possible extent, despite oc-
casional protests from eastern
states, Congressman Carl Hayden
said at Bisbee, in an address be-
fore civic organization on the
growing value of good roads to the
welfare of the nation.
Approximately $1,056,00O will be
appropriated by the federal gov
ernment this year to assist in the
construction of highways in Ari-
zona the speaker said, adding that
a larger amount might be available,
from the moneys acquired from the
sale of timber by the forest SER
vice and Indian agencies, if Arl-
zona would match the amounts so
available with equal sums from
state sources.
Automobiles are no respecterS
of state boundaries, Hayden aver
red. Thousands of cars from 9TH
er states pass through Arizona an
nually, many of them stopping for
varying periods of time to visit our
cities and scenic wonders. Not only
do those tourists benefit from good
highways built with federal aid,
but many Of them become perman-
emily interested in the industries of
this state"

GRAPE SHIPMENTS
EAST ARE HEAVIER
THAN EVER BEFORE

The Santa Fe is called upon this
year to move the California grape
harvest in greater quantity than in
any previous year. The local ice
plant is taxed to capacity, an aver
age of more than 500 cars of fruit
a day being iced here. Last Fri
day the number of cars iced
amounted to S43. Each car re-
quires about ton of ice.
Train crews have barely time for
their rest, and for a number of
days trains have been held in the
yards awaiting the completion of
the rest period of the crews last in.
1t is estimated by traffic officers
that by midnight last night, one
half of the grape shipment had
passed this division. The, rush will
continue between two and three
weeks longetr.
A week ago today No. % was
delayed forty minutes coming
through the grape growing valley
in California, by the great num-
Der of freight trains loaded with
fruit.
Stock shipments are adding to
the work of the Santa Fe trains
and crews. Yesterday six cars of
sheep were sent by Mike Chaco to
Sacramento. Heavy shipments of
stock have gone out every day for
more than a week from this yard
and Holbrook.

The grape rush on the Santa Fe
is not the only rush of grapes.
Local merchants report that this
year, more than ever before, grapes
are being purchased by the pound,
basket and scores of baskets. Not
less than five tons of grapes have
been retailed in Winslow in the
last two weeks.
Michigan Concord grapes began
arriving about two weeks ago. The
crop this year is reported larger
than ever, and the demand great
er, with the result that the price
will be maintained at a high level
all through the season.
1t looks like Christmas is going
to be merry one this year, for
there no doubt will be enough of
that which "maketh glad the heart
of man" to go around. Last Christ
mas was, on account of the bank
failure, a season slightly tinged
with woe, but this season looms
brighter and happier with the
promise of so much of the nectar
of good wits" being prepared, for
it is that which makes our courage
rise, forget our woes and heighten
all our joys"
Next month we will render
thanks for the blessings of the year
and for the bounteous crops of
Concords up in Michigan. In the
sad time of the year we will be
glad, revived, inspired, unwearied
and fearless, for if we've got any
friends at all, we will be able to
season our mince pies with that
(which cheers the sad, revives
the old, inspires
The young, makes WEAKNESS
forget his toll,
And Fear her danger; opens a
new world
When this, the Present palls.'
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
will be the gospel for the winter
with the text taken from
"You know, my friends, with
what a brave carouse
I made a second Marriage in
my house;
Divorced old Barren Reason
from my bed,
And took the Daughter of the
Vine to spouse.
"And much as Wine has played

WINSLOW Hi AND
WILLIAMS PLAY
NO SCORE GAME

The nothing to nothing football
game between Winslow and Will
liams high schools at Williams last
Friday afternoon was reported to
have been one of the fastest first
games ever played between two
school teams.
Although Winslow Hi did not
succeed in pulling down the colors
of the Williams Hi football team,
it did succeed in preventing Coach
Britts' warriors from running up
the score they expected to, and at
the same time, gave the Orange and
Black team the scare of it's life. At
the kickoff, eleven men, none of
whom had ever played in a high
school football game before, faced
a squad, seven of whom had play
ed on the team that beat Winslow
last year 26 to T. and, but for lack
of experience and headwork, would
have made the score even better
than the 90. The game, as most
first of the season games are, was
replete with fumbles and balling up
of plays. Williams, with almost a
veteran squad displayed a much
smoother attack with a charging
line and blocking backfield than
Winslow. The Maroon and White
on the other hand displayed much
better defensive than offensive
game. Both teams used straight
football varied only now and then
by a forward pass or two Of these
Williams completed two and Wins
low none.
Most of Williams gains were
made by Dawson, who was easily
the star of the game. His. line
breaking and broken field running
was hard to stop. The outstanding
men for the Maroon and White
were Scott, at center, Houck at
guard, and Chase and Lorenzo at
tackles, In the backfeld, Mitchell
was the only man able to carry the
ball for gain. His defensive work
in breaking up passes and in tack
ling was very good.
Coach Tweed promises the team
very strenuous workout this week
in preparation for the Clarkdale
tilt here Saturday. AS individuals
many of the men played well. AS
a team there was lacking the unity
of action necessary The line per-
mitted the opponents to sift through
and break up the plays before they
could get started. And the back
field was weak in blocking and
forming interference.
However, all these things are ex-
pected of green teams and can be
eradicated only by time and ex-
perience The coach feels that if
good field general can be found
the outlook for the rest of the sea-
son will be improved considerably,
as in all other branches of the
game the players are improving
rapidly. And because as one of the
players said, "the team has behind
it a superintendent who is backing
it every minute, going along with
it to its games; and school which
is beginning to get it's athletic NOR
al to function, to realize that the
team needs support and to give it
that support"
The increase in morale of the
student body, the fight beginning
to be manifested by the team, and
the determination of the team to
win it's first home game of the sea-
son, all promise a game well worth
seeing against Clarkdale Saturday.
