ll8,OOO Injured In US. Factories Labor Dept. Says

WASHINGTON-FP)-Close to 118,000 manufacturing workers were disabled for one day or longer by work injuries, the Bureau of Labor Statis- tics said, reporting on industrial acci- dents during the final quarter of 1947.
 During the 3-month period, about 400 workers injured during the quarter died of their injuries, and close to 6,OOO suffered perma- nent physical impairment. Final reports on the effect of these inju- ries will push these figures higher.
 The overall injury frequency rate in manufacturing was somewhat lower than in 1946, being 143 disabling in juries per million man-hours worked But workers lost 2,358,000 man-dayS of work during the three months, amounting to nearly $19 million in wage losses alone
 Industries with the highest acci- dent rate were sawmiIling, wooden box making, iron foundries and concrete products manufacturing.

Apprentice A p
 Ratios Found Controversial

The method for determining how many apprentices should be employed IS one of the most controversial issues in the whole field of apprenticeship, William F. Patterson, Director of the Bureau of Apprenticeship. said before the Occupational Research Division of the National Guidance Association last week.
 Patterson added that historically the matter of ratio has had an inn portant place in apprenticeship. In collective bargaining, especially be- tween unions and groups of em- ployers who were competitors of each other, the ratio was significant tO both parties around the bargain ing table. He said the union was thinking in terms of security for its membership and the employers were thinking in terms of fair com- petition among themselves. This condition as it existed over the years was not a healthy one for the institution of apprenticeship.
 Director Patterson pointed out that LOO HllIe IHOuSIu dlIu dltClltlOu Was given to the problem of developing broadly trained journeymen, thor oughly skilled in all techniques of the trade and with well-rounded knoWl- edge of trade theory and practice. :.
 While the ratio practice continues" " Patterson said, q feel safe in saying that the emphasis today is on those aspects of apprenticeship which will produce the all-around versatile skill ed worker"
 A plan discussed by Patterson was that of making available more intensive and extensive data on ap- premiership programs and the number of apprentices. He said the Bureau of Apprenticeship is now undertaking to reduce the mass of data from 36,OOO registered ap- premiership programs and zOO,UOU registered apprenticeship agree ments to machine record cards. Pat terson emphasized that when this new system is installed, reports will be issued that will be of primary significance to labor and manage ment groups.

QUOTES From The LABOR PRESS

Free AdUce for Free Enterprise: If free enterprise IS in danger, 1t is be- cause of the evils that have been per mitted to grow and fester in it. No system that has the real interests of the people at heart will be overthrown by the people. Only when American business reverses its slogan: What is good for business is good for Amer ica," to read, What is good for Amer ica IS good for business" and operates under that premise, will 1t merit the confidence and support of the mass of the American people.-Colorado La Dor Advocate, AFL.
 BroadcaSterS Demand More Free dom": Should the owners of broad casting stations be permitted to "edi- torialize?" We hope this time the Federal Communications Commission will put its foot down, cut out "edi- torializing," which is only another name for propaganda, and also lay down the law on another point When controversial questions are being dis cussed the "other side" should be given a chance to reply. If that isn't done, then the man with the longest purse will have an unfair advantage-Labor, railroad unions.
 Weighed aud Found Wanting: Can dldate Stassen has been carefully weighed by labor and found wanting. MT. Stassen says the Taft-Hart1ey act IS great stuff with few exceptions. At one time he looked like a liberal. He talked as if he might know the score. But he doesn't measure up.- Flint Labor News, AFL.
 More Po10er to the Typos: The lntl. Typographical Union (AFL) has been conducting a gallant battle against the Taft-Hartley law and against the NLRB's union-busting counsel, Robert Denham. It is a fight which concerns the entire free trade union movement of the U.S.-Elec- trical Union World, AFL.

Green Promises Palestine Aid

WASHINGTON = (FP) = The AFL will continue to urge the US. government to support partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states, AFL Pres. William Green said last week in cable to Gen. Sec. Joseph Sprinzak of the Federation of Jewish Labor.
