WASHINGTON. May 14.--Mea-

the dreaded ''phossy-jaw" among
American workers are being taken
by the Government and by industry.
American fireworks manufacture
ers and jobbers have agreed with
the Department Of Labor to cease

phorus in fireworks after next
Jan. 1.
This phosphorus poisons those
handling it, and often results In the
rotting or entire loss Of the lower
Jaw. 1t also is poisonous taken in
fernally, and many young children
have died from eating phosphortc
fireworks in mistake for candy, ac-
Fcording to Ethelbert Stewart, chief
statistician of the department.
Manufacturers and jobbers, how
ever, have expressed fear that the

The bill is before the House Ways

The fireworks industry is the last

said. The match manufacturers
