Accidents Take
Tremendous Toll

Los Angeles QLNS). - About 50
times as much time was lost from i'll
ness or injury in industries of the
United States last year as there was
from strikes, DR.. \. Victor NaSatir
director of the division of industrial
hygiene of the Los Angeles City Health
Department, told a University of Cali
fornia extension division audience here
The hidden costs which come as Il
result of absence from work due to
poor health or accidents is Il burden
which industry can only lessen by i'll
creaSing attention to II d u 5 ri Il |
health" he said.
Hidden costs in industry usually lie
in the time the employe loses due t"
accident or the time that he takes to
receive first aid. In addition, there is
the time it takes to fill the injured
mans place and to break another man
in.
"ill that lost time and labor can be
translated into many dollars. The cost
of replacement of Il man varies from
5000 to S4OO.'

Sees Incredsinq
Poison Danger

Washington, ID. c. ULNS).-An in
crease in the occurrence OF mercury
poisoning among the workers in mines
and allied industries may be expected
as the result of growing demands for
this strategic metal in wartime indus
tries, says the Bureau of Mines, re-
viewing the causes of this occupational
disease and suggesting methods for its
control.
Many small mines which in normal
times would be considered Improbable
are now being worked, DR.. Il. Il. Say
erS, director of the bureau, said. Oper-
ating methods at many of these small
mines are more or less crude, result
ing in exposure of workers to serious
health hazards from handling ore and
breaking mercury dust and fumes.
This is true especially in mines where
there is an admiXture of native quick
silver.
AS in the first World War period,
the Biireau of Mines notes an alarming
occurrence in OccupatiOnal mercurial
poisoning at mines and retorting

Information On
Social Security

Unempoyment-inSura benefits in
creased sharply during January as the
result of lay-offs because of conver-
sion of plants to war production and
curtailment of noneSsential industries,
us well us normal seasonal factors,
it was announced by Federal Security
Administrator Paul V. McNutt.
ment compensation agencies paid Il
total of Sal 100000 in benefits cover
ing approximately AZ million man
weeks of unemployment. This was Is
per cent above December payments and
the highest December-January rise on
record At least $4,000 workers re
ceived one or more benefit checks dur
ING January, nearly twO-thirdS more
than in the previous month.
This exceptionally large increase
Mr.. McNutt said resulted from the
growing pinch of 'priorities unemploy
ment' and the increasing numbers of
conversion lay-offs in such states as
| Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wiscon-
sin. He added, however, that payments
also rose in most of the other states
but that these increases We're due to
normal seasonal reductions in canning
construction, numbering, and retail
trade.
The most marked increase in pay
mcnts took place in Michigan where
benefits more than tripled, reaching Il
total of S5,3OOOOO. Other important
industrial states reporting substantial
increases in benefit payments as the
result of the war economy were In
diana ISL per cent?, Wisconsin, l.
per cent?, Ohio (71 per cent?, and New
Jersey as per cent?. The states il
which there We're large increases iI
payments due basically to seasonal fac
tors were concentrated in the NOrtl
Central, Rocky Mountain, and Pacific
Coast areas.
The number of initial claims fol
benefits filed at local employment Of
fices rose 6 per cent over December
to 100000, indicating that benefits
would probably continue ut Il higl
level during February.

year in defense bonds and stamps
President Green spoke with
ganthau over the Blue Network
over the nation by AFL unions to hear
the broadcast and to further the AFL
defense bond drive.
Announcing that AITL unions had al
ready bought or subscribed for total
of more than $2OO,OO0OOO worth of de
Tense bonds, Green reported that every
mail arriving at his office was flooded
with new pledges.
II cannot enumerate here all the
splendid achievements reported to
date" said Green, but | would like to
mention a few outstanding examples
One state federation alone promises
that AFL members in its jurisdiction
will buy 100 million dollars worth of
bonds before the year is out. Another
state federation has mapped a so mil
lion dollar purchasing program.
Allotment Plans Arranged
"a single union has already ar
ranged payroll allotment plan cover
ing all it's members which guarantees;
the purchase of % million worth. A
dozen other unions have adopted sim
liar plans for five million dollars or
more.
Local unons-and there are some
10000 of them in the federatiOn-are
likewise going al~out in this drive.
They are promoting more and more
agreements whereby employers will
deduct specified amounts from the
weekly paycheck of each worker to-
ward the purchase of bonds for these
workers."
President Green told Secretary Nor
genthau that he firmly expected every
union worker under the banner of the
American Federation of Labor to AZ
range stamp and bond purchases on a
systematic basis.
Bonds for Victory Stressed
"While the national quota of our or
ganiZation for the year is one billion
dollars" the federation head said, 1.-The
personal quota of each individual
member is only $3.50 a week. All you
have to do-each and every one of YOU
is to put not less than $3.50 aside
each week this year for the purchase
of defense bonds and stamps and OuI
goal will be more than fulfilled
Throughout his talk President Greer
emphasized that each purchase Of d
defense bond or stamp is giving
America IL helping hand and aiding il
speedy victory.
In ending, he appealed to AFL mem
bers to heed their country's call an;
said
This afternoon, in a symbolic cere
mony before the statue of the Minute
Man at Concord, the officers of the
Massachusetts State Federation OF
Labor pledged with upraised hands
that labor will do its part.
Tonight, on the birthday of the
father of our country, | ask each one
of you in the name of God, in the name
of America and in the name of hu
manity to repeat that pledge with me
We will do our part for victOry!'
Magnificent Example" Praised
Secretary Morgenthau called the
AFL bond drive "a magnificent eX
ample to the whole country" anC
pointed out it was the largest pledge
to come to the Treasury from any
single organization.
