Human Waste Incalculable
'The worker can receive only two
thirds of his salary up to maximum
award of 500 per week. The human
waste of mind and body cannot be
reckoned in dollars and cents.
In these days of full war mobiliZa-
tion with every day lost on the pro
duction line putting us that much fur
ther away from final victory, the need
for eXpending effort in the direction OF
accident prevention is obvious. Ihe
victims of compensated industrial accl-
dents (Which, in general, represent
only the more serious accidentS) lost
almost 100000 manweeks during
1912"
The department pointed out that the
total of 1OO,051 compensated cases
closed in 1912 was IS per cent greater
than in 1941 and the largest number
since 1890 when 1o7,312 cases were
closed. The total number of weeks
awarded rose by 10 per cent, while the
amount of compensation increased by
II per cent.
Average Award Lower
The average award per case dropped
from S3152 in 1871 to 1868 In 1917
This resulted mostly from the drop IL
the severity of the average case as
shown by the average award of 4
weeks in 1911 as against 2S weeks IL
1912. The number of deaths and per
mancnt total disabilities was less il
1912 than in 1911.
Rising Industrial wages were the
primary factor in producing an in
crease in the average compensation
award per week from Sl2.32 in 1911
10 Sl3.12 in 1912.

dry Workets Joint Board, affiliated
