 SAFETY CAMPAIGN
Efforts Centered on War Production Plants; /; Conn.
 Factories 8.7 Increase

Washington, August 3-The gov- ernment is gaining in its efforts to reduce accidents in war production plants, Secretary of Labor Perkins declared today in a message to the X eight regional directors of the Na- tional Committee for the Conserva- ton of ManpoWer in War Industries which she appointed two years ago. S"For the first time since the be- ginning of the defense program early in 194O the increase in ac- cidents has been less than the in- crease in employment as shown by the preliminary report of industrial injuries including fatal accidents from 19 important indnustrial states" she said. While the &C., cidents reported were IT per cent higher for the first six months of 1922 than in the comparable period of 1941, employment in these 19 states increased 25 per cent, indi- eating significant reduction in the number of accidents per 100000 hours worked.
 Altogether 906,947 injuries were reported to the compensation com- missions of the 19 states included in the survey in the first six months of 1922. Of this total, injuries re- suited fatally to 2,902 workers. Such toll shows the need for your re- doubled efforts and the continued cooperation of labor and manage ment so as to remove job hazards, and train workers, especially new employees, in safe work methods.
 'You and the 450 volunteer special agent safety engineers loaned to the U. s. Department of Labor by in- dustry are to be congratulated on the progress being made through safety consulting service to war in- dustries and the safety training in accident prevention methods and in which thousands moro will be train- ed during the next twelve months"
 The Labor Departments Safety Committee is made up of represent atives of labor, management and the public.
 Oregon showed the greatest in- crease In employment and the low est increase in injuries, 8 40.3 per cent increase in employment with only IT per cent increase in injur- les. New England states from which preliminary reports are available follows:
 Connecticut, Increase in employ ment; 29.5, percent icnrease in In- jurieS, 8.7 percent.
 Massachusetts, increase in em- ployment; 26.S percent, increase in injuries; 5.3. percent.
 Maine, increase in employment: 33.3 percent, increase in injuries; 3l.7, percent.
 Rhode Island, increase in employ ment; 20.l percent, increase in in- jliries, IFS percent.

In communication sent to al
State Forest Fire Wardens last
week the State Forestry Depart
ment is urging forest fire control
personnel to voluntarily contact
the farmers and others in their
community and urge those who
have field, ditch banks or brush
that must be burned, to do such
cleanup burning PROMPTLY while
adjacent forest lands are wet
enough not to be inflammable. The
Forestry Department does not ad-
vocate field burning and in fact
councils against it, but does recog-

it is absolutely necessary. In such
case every precaution should be
taken to prevent the escape of such
fire. Performing such burning
now when the chances of escape
are at the minimum will eliminate
much of the demand on man power
that would otherwise be required to
