Failure to regulate the steam boil- er has cost t! United States thou- sands of lives and millions of dollars, according to a_ statement issued by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, which, through its boiler code committee, is seeking to bring about uniform standards in. this country. The statement pointed out that twenty states are joining in a nation-wide movement to lessen the industrial accidents * by eliminating the dangers that lie hidden in the steam boiler, called by engineers, more dangerous than dynamite. “In the boiler code of the American Boclety of Mechanical Engineers the country has a standard worthy of general acceptance,” said the state- ment. “If all boilers were made in accordance to well known principles, boiler explosions would be of rare ocurrence. “In an effort to secure the univer- sal adoption of this code in this country the Uniform Boiler Law So- ciety has been organized and has done a great deal more good than shows in the lists of states and mu- nicipalities that have actually adopt- ed the code, in promulgatifig an un- derstanding of it and creating e sentiment in its favor that will re- sult in a rapid falling into line of the remaining states when the line is a little more pronouncedly estab- lished.” The statement indicated that the wo | National Board of Boiler and Pres- sure Vessel Inspectors is working on several problems designed to pre- clude boiler explosions.
