Model State-USe Bill
To Be Urged By Labor

Washington, Jan. 2O.--A copy OF a
model bill that will provide for the
state-use system Of convict labor has
ben forwarded to state federations
and city central bodies by President
Green. He suggests that the bill be
presented in legislatures of states
where the state-use system Is not es-
tabished.
Congress will be asked TO pass a
bill lproyiding that the various states
may enact laws prohibiting the trans
portation within their bodfers of con-
vict-made products from other states.
"If every state adopts a state-use
law, and congress enacts the law re-
ferred to this will be a long step
toward solving the convict-labor prob
lem." said President Green.
"The model state-use bill govern:
every phase of the production OF
goods in penal Institutions. These
goods can not be sold on the market
but must be manufactured exclusively
for the use of state or its political
subdivisions"

Statement of Collector
of Internal Revenue
e. w. Schwaner

Heretofore taxpayers have been
urged to file their income tax returns
early. The filing of returns this year
is delayed, pending the enactment of
the new revenue act now before the
Snate, which, as 1t passed the House,
contains changes in regard To rates
and other features. However, there is
nothing to prevent taxpayer at this
time from closing his books and COM
putting his net income. Such compu-
tations will not be affected by any
provisions of the new act. The actual
preparation of the return itself, after
the computation, requires, In ma
jority of cases, but few minutes.
Therefore, it is advised that all
figures and data be assembled, pend
ing receipt of blanks by taxpayers,
When released, blanks will be sent to
taxpayers and also may be obtained u;
the office of the Collector, Springfield
Illinois.
Forms 1899 and 1896 used for max
ing information returns, are now
available at offices of Collectors of
Internal Revenue and branch offices
Such returns are required of persons
'in whatever capacity acting" who
made to a single person during the
year 1925 a payment of $1,000 OF
more, or to a married person a pay
ment of $1,000 or more. Such pay
ments include salaries, rent, interest
"or other fixed or determinable gains
profits and income"
Collectors of Internal Revenue are
not authorized to receive information
returns, which should be addressed TO
the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, Sorting Section, Washington,
DC.
Forms 1041 and 1865 are being
mailed to all fiduciaries or partner
ships filing such returns last year.

Labor Enters 1926 With Wages Highest
Ever Known, Beating All WorId Records
Industrial Accidents Drop
Slowly Boom and Slack
Periods Is Factor

New Aolk, Jan. 20.-lndustrial
setivity and slack periods are reflect
ed in the record of industrial acci-
dents. according 10 figures issued by
the Metropolitan Life Insurance COM
pany. Ii Is shown that the death rate
for all industrial accidents in 1918
was 45.7 per 100000 persons. The
war year Of 1918 claimed s0.9 per
100000. while the figures dropped TO
2S.S during the slack year OF 1921.
Despite the development of work
mems compensation insurance and the
accompanying development of indus
trial safety work, and the rise of IN
dustrial medicine and surgery, the In
surance company asks: Are fatal in
dustrial accidents decreasing
The company's statistics show that
the death rate for all accidents com
bined decreased about per cent per
annum for the period 1912 10 1924.
The death rate for machinery aeel-
dents combined decreased about I per
cent per annum fot the period 1912 to
1924. The death ute for machinery
accidents in industry declined slight
ly, about | y per cent per veal.
The increase in accidents In any
given year may be due TO increased
activity in times of boom aud expan-
sion," the company states. Men in
industry, working under stress for
maximum produetiou, do not exercise
the thought and care that would be
used in slack time. The fluctuation
in the number of men employed, as
well as the intensity Of industrial ac-
tivity, also definitely influences the in.
dustrial accident rate. The general
trend of accidents in industry is affect
ed by the introduction of labor-saving
device. nut is, by the substitution Of
mechanical ful manual processes.
Little attention has been given to this
latter factor in industfial stndies.'
