Needless Fatal Accidents in Industry

The failure Of employers to provide
adequate safety measures for workers,
for which dffilidtes of the American Fed
erdtion of Labor have long commended
with gradually increasing success, is still
held to be the underlying cause OF many
of the facilities in industry that are con-
stdntlY being reported.
Two miners were recently killed and
n injured in q slate fdll in the West
Mine, near Coultersville. ILL.,. and had to
be dug out by fellow workers. lndicd-
tons ore thdt adequate safety precdu-
tons were locking. Many other dcci-
dents have been reported recently in
different ports Of the country.
A major mine disaster occurred just
before Christmos, in which at least SO
men were killed and IS injured. at q coal
mine at Nuevd Rosita. Codhuild. Mexico,
about 80 miles south of Eagle Pass, Tex
as. A gds explosion Of great force caused
terrifying havoc. The mine is owned by
q Mexicdn subsidiary Of the American
Smelling and Refining ComponY. The
explosion occurred about q mile from the
entrance and 400 feet underground.
Mine explosions dnd the deddlY black
damp that nedrlY dlwuYs follows them
have taken thousands Of lives in Amer
lea, although safety measures urged by
organized labor to the point OF being
supported by law have served to de-
crease such accidents in recent years,
proving that proper precautions can save
lives dnd prevent the mdiming OF work
ers.
Strict enforcement Of existing sdfetY
laws in industry and uniform legislation
requiring the installation Of up-to-ddte
dccident-prevention principles and dp-
pdrdtus will go q long way toward pre-
venting the needless slaughter and in

FALL AND WINTER
GARDEN CONTESTS
State College Extension Ser
vice Announces Compe-
tition for County

The annual fall and winter garden
contest sponsored by the State Col
lege extension service will be held
again this year, it was learned here
today.
The object of the contest is to en-
courage rural families to raise more
vegetables to help provide balanced
diet through the fall and winter and to
reduce the family's cash expenditures
for food.
Families wishing to enter the con-
test are urged to start their gardens
as soon as possible. Full details may
be obtained from county farm and
home demonstration agents.
In each county where 10 or more
families enter, cash prizes of SIS and
$3.50 will be offered first and second
place winners State winners will re-
ceive $40, $3.50, $3.50, and SIS re-
spectively.
Contestants will be enrolled by the
garden leader in each home demon
stration club. Any white farm fam
lily in the State is eligible to enter
the contest.
A separate contest for colored farm
families is also being planned, said
C. r. Hudson, who is in charge of ex-
tension work with Negroes.
Extension specialists at State Col
lege have named the following vege-
tables that may be planted in August:
Broccoli, mustard, Swiss chard, en-
dives, lettuce, turnips, seven top tur-
nips, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, car
rots, beets, celery, collards snap beans,
lima beans, tomatoes, and sugar corn.
In some sections it is a little late for
corn, but in areas where frost
does not come early the corn may
have time to make roastin' ears be-
fore the plants are killed by cold
weather.
