The statement, the best and

attention, sets forth these reasons
why the clause should be elimi-
mated: It undermines morale be-
cause the employee soon finds him
self in a blind alley, so far as
raises are concerned Cost Of
eliminating the clause would be
inconsequential since Congress
would still hold the purse strings.
It hinders the policy of the

contrary to letter and spirit of the

100000 LIVES
IS 81 COST OF
CAR ELESSNESS
39,700 of Deaths Due
To Traffic
BY CHARLES A. HUNT

CHICAGO. Feb. / G.N.S).
Death took no holiday in 1897.
One hundred and six thousand
persons were killed in accidents
in the United States.
Three hundred and seventy-five
thousand others were permanently
disabled.
Nine million, four hundred thou.
sand others were injured.
COST THREE BILLION
The estimated cost of this great
jamboree of carelessness, based on
partially completed figures re-
vea1ed today by the National
Safety Council, was three billion,
seven hundred thousand dollars.
The grand total dwindled
slightly from the toll in 1896. Ex-
perts credited this fact to a mild
summer which brought q decrease
in heat deaths, rather than to
greater caution among Americans.
However, safety campaigns re-
ceived some credit. The accident
table was as follows:
1897 1886 Change
All Decentralization ti0,24S down pct.
Traffic --------- $500 3O,B8S up4pet.
Hone --..---- $4,000 1880 down is pct.
reeupatisnaI ----- 1900 $4,000 up 6 pct,
Public (nOu-traffie) 1900 10000 dawn pct.
The saving in life effected by
moderate summer weather more
than offset the increase of 1900
In motor-accident deaths and of
1000 in occupational fatalities,
the statistics show.
Major disasters played an un-
important role in the toll. The
great majority of deaths occurred
IN ones and twos.
Two tragedies, however, figured
prominently. They were the school
explosion in New London, Tex,
which claimed the lives Of 294
children, and the Hindenburg
dirigible explosion, which killed IS
passengers.
Falls were second only to auto
mobiles, claiming $4,000 lives.
Burns killed 5000. drownings
1000, railroad accidents 1000, not
Including crossing crashes; fire.
arms 5000, gas poison 1000, other
poisons 1000, and miscellaneous
causes $4,000.
MILWAUKEE SAFEST
The child-accident rate dropped
sharply from 1920 in 1885 to
$4,000 in 1887.
Twenty States cut auto deaths
In the face of increased travel.
Milwaukee emerged as the ma
tion's safest big city. 1t had only
1913 deaths per 100000 population
In 1887.
Among cities under 500 900 popu-
lation, Minneapolis was safest and
Memphis next.
In larger cities, pedestrians were
the largest single class Of victims
in all traffic accidents.
Steam railroad accidents brought
1850 deaths during the first 10
months of the year, although only
IL of the victims were passengers
on trains. Most of the victims
were treSpassers. Many were en-
ployes.
Forty airplane passengers were
killed, the partial tabulations
show.
