SOME GAINS IN SAFETY

IN the matter of accidental deaths we seem to
be gaining in safety please knock wood
here).
Total accidental deaths in the nation, which
99,147 in 1880, and rose to 110,052 in
1886, numbered $4,000 in 1889. These fatalities
in 1880 numbered SO.5 per 100000; rose to 857
per 1000 in 1886, and for 1889 fell to 7lO.
These deaths in 1888, augmented by the great
New England hurricane, numbered 93,SO5, or
72.0 per 100000. No such mai ior disasters came
in the last year. but the accidental deaths and in
juries came in ones and twos, mainly excepting
that a Kentucky flood took 70 lives, and Califor-
MIA seacoast storm took about So
Motor vehicle accidents caused Is more deaths
in 1899 than 1888; other public accidents took a
toll of about 1000 less; while accidents in the
home ranked next to motor vehicle deaths-32,OO
as against $4,000. Occupational accidents caused
5000 deaths, a reduction of 500 from 1888. Next
to the automobile, the home proves to be the most
dangerous place.
Injuries totaled S,SOO00O persons in 1889, or
about 100000 less than 1898.
Traffic increased in mileage 6 per cent over
1888, and the number of vehicles the roads in
creased by per cent. Thus on basis of motor
mileage, the drop in death rate for this cause was
more than 5 per cent.

Federal Judge Fines
New Orleans Bidders

The tendency of certain types of
business men to he lured by the pros
pect of large profits into violating
Federal statutes, even when charity
institutions are involved, is revealed
in the action Of a Federal Judge in
New Orleans who imposed fifteen
fines on contractors and their asso-
ciates for diverting PWA funds.
According to an Associated Press
dispatch, the court fined the New Or
leans Chapter Of the Associated Gen
eral Contractors Of America $4,000
and three construction firms and
eleven individuals $500 each in connec-
tion with bidding on the new Orleans
Charity Hospital foundation.
In it's account of the practice which
resulted in the action of the Federal
Court, the Associated Press said:
at was alleged all bidders for the
$715,3 $3.50 job added the estimating and
other expenses of competitors to their
bids and that the II. p. Farnsworth
Company, after receiving the contract,

which in turn gave $64O to each un-
successful bidder"

Compulsory Assessment
For ChdritY Contested

Washington, D. G.. (AFLWNS).-
The question whether an agreement
signed between the Welfare and Rec
reational Association, a unit which
operates most of the cafeterias in
Government buildings in the District
Of Columbia, has the right to sign an
agreement with the c. I. O. under
which one dollar is deducted each
month from the wages of each en-
ploye for dues for union members,
with the provision that cafeteria
workers who are not union members
shall assign one dollar per month to
a designated charity, is causing con-
siderable trouble in the association.
Some cafeteria workers who are not
members Of the union have refused to
make the one dollar per month as
signment to charity, and this amount
is being deducted from their pay and
impounded pending a decision by
some competent body in the future.
Meantime the question of the check
off in the agreement is being consid-
cred by the General Accounting Of
flee, which it is expected will rule on
the validity of the scheme.
