ANOTHER LEVER AT WORK

If as the American Federation of
Labor was told, there is million and
half persons illegally domiciled in
the United States, one meaning is
that there are many persons among
US who can never become citizens.
That, of itself, is not healthy con-
dition. Immigrants, like alcohol, will
be bootlegged under any circum-
stances, but if the Box bill is enacted
into law the business will shrink many
degrees. The man who can't stand up

whom life has not been so kind.
They are the needy and the sick. 1t
is to these unfortunates we should
turn our eyes and thoughts when the
Yuletide season brings tidings of
peace and good will. We should see
the true significance of Christmas and
do all within our power to brighten
and gladden. the hearts of the poor
and needy, the broken in health and
spirit.
When we do this we have caught
the real Yuletide spirit. The feeling
that we have brought new hope into
the lives of others reveals to us the
old. old Christmas story, the sweetest
story ever told.

UNION DOING A COMEBACK

The Oil Field Workers brought
cheer to the New Orleans convention.
This union is one of the many now
gaining strength. A comeback is in
progress. Of interest to them and to
many others must be the fact that
while experts" cry, as usual, that
the oil supply is petering out, big au-
tomobile manufacturers do not rush
to make more economical engines.
That means they are not worried by
any prospect of impending oil short
age. The Oil Field Workers have a
big and important future.

most costly of all industrial accidents,
that is the accidents with the highest
average cost per case, for which COM
pensation awards were made in the
year ending June 80, 1928, were those
which occurred in construction work
According to statement by Indus
trial Commissioner James A. Hamil-
ton there were 81 ,891 accidents in con-
struction this year which were award
ed $8,115,469 in compensation, or an
average of $371 per case. This is s72
per case more than the average of
$299 for all industries combined. This
means that the accidents in building
work cost about one and half MIL

The total amount of compensation
of over eight million dollars awarded
for construction accidents includes the
present actuarial value for death and
permanent total disability cases based
on the number and ages of the de-
pendents in cases of death and the
age of the injured worker in total dis
ability cases. Death and permanent
total injuries are the most costly of
all industrial accidents. The fact that
there were more fatal accidents. in
construction work than in any other
industry is therefore one of the chief
reasons for the high average cost of
its accidents. In other words, acci-
dents in construction work are very

Not only were there more lives lost
in fatal accidents in building work
but more time was lost in non-fatal
accidents. This is best shown in a
comparison of the average number of
weeks awarded per case for tempo
rary disability cases in the different
industries. In temporary cases the

disability does not extend over seven
weeks. In these cases it is found that
the average in construction work was
higher than in any other industry and
amounted to over seven weeks per
case as compared with five and half
weeks for all industries.
