POWERFUL POISONS
Of Industry Menace to Fac.
tory Workers

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Do you work
in a factory or shop where benzol is
used? Watch out, for it is more
deadly than bootleg. Rubber works
and paint factories are the most dan
gerous to work in for this powerful
solvent is used in large quantities in
dissolving rubber, white lead and pig
ments.
1t is not in the deaths but the sys-
tematic poisoning that is the worst
result of benzol poisoning. Workers
will not know their organs or their
blood are being impaired. Benzol
poisoning is so insidious few doctors
can trace the illness to it's cause.
All of these dangers to industrial
workers, especially to women employ
ed in factories, have been stressed in a
recent report of the United States
department of labor by DR.. Alice
Hamilton, professor of industrial med
icine at Harvard University. She is
one of the foremost experts on the ills
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1927-01-21
MINERS
Support Bill to Abolish
POOrhOuses

Indianapolis, Ind.-The nationwide
effort by organized labor to Danish the
poorhouse and infrmaries from the
country through the substitution of
old age persion legislation, has receiv-
ed renewed impetus in Indiana where
a bill will be presented to the forth
coming legislature to abolish poor
houses and substitute more human
itarian and economical way of han
ding the situation"
Interested in the movement is the
Fraternal Order of Eagles. Recently
meeting of the 13 district chairmen,
headed by Otto P Deluse, national
official of the organization, was held
here and the meeting went on record
favoring the immediate passage of an
old age pension law. The United
Mine Workers of America has a
standing committee on old age pen
sions which is the guiding hand be-
hind the proposed changes. Four
years ago a survey of the cost of
operating aims houses and old age
pensions was made by a special COM
mittee. 1t was found that it cost
1868 month per capita to care
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1927-01-21

for infrm wards Of the various coun-
ties. Against this the committee
placed the maximum of $25 per month
allowed under the proposed bill.
Through the work of organized la
Dor in Nevada, Montana, Wisconsin,
Kentucky, Pennsylvania and other
states, old age pension laws have been
passed In few states the laws have
not been operative because of so-called
constitutional inhibitions. A cam
paign of publicity to educate the tax
payer on the subject will be under
taken, as the proponents of the old
age pension system can show that it
is actually less costly and decidedly
far more humane than operating
poorhouses. Organized labor and sew
eral fraternal organizations are re-
ported to be solidly behind the move
ment.

Of workers in the United States.

of workers in the United States.
DR.. Hamilton points out that Ger
many, Holland and Great Britain are
giving their workers more protection
from the ravages Of poisbns, whether
gases or fluid, than is the United
States.
The big three among the death deal
ers are benzol, white lead and wood
alcohol. Strangely these poisons are
more dangerous to women than tc
men. Four times as many are VIC
TINS of the insidious effects Of these
substances as men, especially in pot
teries. Says DR.. Hamilton in conclu-
sion:
"Unless the new poisons are care
fully tested on animals the human be-
ings who use them in trade processes
will be taking the place Of the animal
victims. Unfortunately it seems no.
body's business to undertake the in
vestigation of these new dangers"
All remember Dangerous Ethyl"
Sale Of this dangerous motor fuel was
recently begun on the Pacific coast.
But no one was warned as to its con-
sequences to garage workers or the
automobile public.

in the grain and livestock raising
states of the Middle West. There
have been severe declines in several
of the mountain states and in certain
cotton states.
It is estimated on the basis of the
data collected by the department that
the average value of farm real es-
tate per acre in the United States on
March L, 1926, was $76.47, compared
with $107.89 on March /, 1920. These
figures are somewhat higher than
those given in the 1926 census. They
show about the same relative changes,
however.
In addition to the shrinkage in farm
land values, the former is still con-
fronted by continue decreases in the
price of farm products. The monthly
price report Of the department of
agriculture shows that prices contin-
ued to decline in the month ending
December Is, being placed at 127 per
cent Of the pre-war level on December
15, compared with 130 per cent on
November Is. The December Is figure
is 16 points below that on the same
date in 1925.
