Fewer Accidents Occur
Off Work Than on Job

A man or woman is safer from ac
cidents while at work in America
than while of the job.
In other words" says the Ma
tional Safety Council, ''for gainfully
employed persons the accident haz-
ards of the factory and Office are
less likely to ensnare them than are
the hazards of the home, traffic and
participation in sports or recreat-
tional activity"
Accident Facts, the Councils sta
tistical yearbook, reports that for
every 10 workers killed in occupa-
tional accidents during 1899, 16 were
killed in off-the-job accidents. The
total for work accidents was Is 500
and for of -the-job accidents. 25,000.
Considering the fact that workers
spend only about one-third of the
day at their jobs, the death rates
based on exposure would appear
to be about the same for the two
classes Of accidents, the Council says.
However, If hours Of sleep are de-
Quoted, the rate for of -the-job ac-
cidents is approximately one and
one half times the rate for work
accidents.

Fire Services Survey Is
Begun By Government

Washington, d. C.-Representatives
Of leading organizations in the fire
field and in the field of general mu-
nicipal government met here in re-
sponse to call issued by Frank Bane,
Director, Division Of State and Local
Cooperation, National Defense Advis-
DRY Commission, to develop plans for
studying the problems of fire protection
and prevention which may be involved
in the defense program and to con-
slider the part which the fire services
should play in that program.
The importance of this survey was
expressed by George Richardson, sec
retary-treasurer of the international
Association of Fire Fighters, in a re-
cent letter to President Roosevelt en-
closing copies Of resolution adopted
at the unions convention calling on
the President to appoint committee
to make complete check-up survey
Of the adequacy of fire services to
meet national defense needs.

tary- Treasurer George Richardson of

The entire scope of national legis-
lation, the need for labor participa-
tion in the formation of policy and in
the administration of Government
agencies affecting the workers, and
the urgency of safeguarding laws pro-
tecting labor-all will be dealt with
in the Councils report.
In addition to the Councils recon-

on large number of resolutions sub
mitted by affiliated organizations. In
true democratic fashion, every resolu-
tion introduced will come before the
convention for debate and decision.
During the convention conferences
will take place between representa-

DUST CARTS TO THE RESCUE

London.-When a friend yawns in
ones face in these days, it does not
mean that he is bored. 1t only means
that he has been up all night, like my
friend Ben Smith, the Labor Member
for the dockland Rotherhithe Division
of London. He yawned in the midst
of telling me of his own experiences,
two nights in succession under the
heaviest of the Nazi air raids.
Two incidents light up the picture
he made for me of the wonderful cour-
age and endurance of the people in
his constituency. He told me of one
spirited woman who scrambled out of
the wreckage Of the place where she
had sheltered and hurried off without
a word. Presently she returned and
placed 214. 9s. cd. in the hands of Ben
Smith to help, as she put it, "to buy
a spite-fire."
Another incident revealed the re-
source of air wardens faced with the
problem of extricating women and
children from a wrecked building, and
getting them to a place Of relative
safety.
Bombs were still falling, and the
neighborhood was ringed with fires

KEEPING HOME FIRES BURNING

London-Canada's problem Of sur
plus wheat finds parallel in Britain's
problem of surplus coal. More Of the
mineral is being mined, though the
export has contracted. But the Min
lister of Mines is taking effective
steps to use the surplus of coal in a
manner that will prevent such hard
ships as arose last winter when bad
weather conspired with traffic con-
gestion under war conditions to dis
organize distribution to domestic con-
sumers. >.
The Minister, David Grenfell, is
himself an examiner, and leading
member of the Miners Group in Par
Lament. He told the House of Com
mons something about the plans he
has framed to build up large stocks
of coal all over the country, and to
arrange for ample deliveries to house
holders before winter sets in.
None of the enemy-occupied coun-
tries, unhappily, will have any chance
of getting coal from Britain this Win
ter. This, Of course, has had it's re-
percussions in the British mining dis
tricts that depend on the export trade;
but here again, the Minister of Mines
has taken steps to minimize the diff
culties in these exporting districts.
David Grenfell has framed a plan
in consultation with Ernest Bevin, as
Minister Of Labor, to transfer miners
from the district producing for ex-
port to the coalfields which are ex-
ceptionally busy in producing coal for
the still expanding war industries, and
building up the special winter reserves
| Some new export markets have al
ready been found. We shall have also
large reserves of coal stacked up and
ready to export to the distressed
countries under Nazi occupation as
soon as they have thrown off the yoke
of the oppressor.
