No doubt these ef- forts have been successful in reduc- ing the huge toll of death and suffer- ing which modern industry levies upon its workers. But the effective- ness of all such efforts has been se- riously handicapped by the general lack of information regarding the prevalence, causes and effects of ac- cidents in the industries of the coun- try. A report (Bulletin 216) of the Bu- reau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor entitled ‘Acci- dents and Accident Prevention in Ma- chine Building” supplies this de- tailed information for a large group of plants engaged In the building of different kinds of machin The character of the machines built by these plants varled 'greatly, from mammoth locomotives and ships to delicate electrical apparatus, but it is of interest to note that they are all of a type for which the war has made enormous demands. Therefore, al- though the present study was made prior to the war, the information re- garding accldent hazards in the indus- try is now of particular pertinence. New Basis Is Time Lost. A notable feature of the report is the measurement of accidents accord- ing to their severity. Previous studies have been chiefly concerned with the frequency of accident occurrence, and have counted all accidents as of the same value. A broken finger and a broken back have been counted alike in computing accident rates, although clearly the latter is immeasurably more serious. The method offered in this report is to measure each acci- dent according to the resulting amount of time lost. To dao this it is necessary, of course, to express fatal and permanent injuries as well as temporary disabilities, in terms of workdays lost. This is done by valu- ing a fatal injury, on the basis of life insurance experience, as equivalent to the loss af 30 vears of a man’s work- ing life, while total permanent dis- ability was rated at 35 years. Other injuries are credited with lower ‘time losses in proportion to their probable effect upon earning capacity. Applying this method to the acci- dent data for the machine building in- dustry, some very interesting results are obtained. Thus, in the 194 plants covered by the investigation, the num- ber of accidents occurring in 1912 was 18,647, resulting in 37 deaths, 4 permanent inju and 13.199 tem- porary dlsabilit This s ecaui lent to an accident frequency rate of 118 per 1,000 full-time (300-day) workers and a severity rate of 5.6 days lost per worker, These rates may be contrasted with the experi- ence of a representative steel plant during the same vear, for which the frequency rate was 154 and the se- verity rate 14 days lost. Accidents in the steel plant were thus only about one-third more frequent than in m; chine building, but their severity w: 21-2 times as great. The accident hazards of the ma- chine-building plants vary greatly with the character of their products. Those engaged in the making of lo- comotives have the highest severity rate—11 days lost per worker-—and the builders of ships have the hext highest—3¥ da; ost per worker. Boiler Shops Greatest Hazard. Classifying the combined plants by departynental divisions, boiler shops and vard labor show by far the great- est hazards. Boiler shops have a fre- quency rate of 224 cases for 1,000 full-time (300-day) workers and @ severity rateof 27 days lost per 300- day worker, while yard labor has a frequency rate Of 221 and a severity CONSTIPATION INVITES DISEASE A reliable laxative is necessary to the comfort and health of any ‘well-ordered household, becausa constipation is a ocondition that affects, in greater or less degree, O member of the racti amily. hen the bowels refuse to act the entire system is af- H restion R, Epnisant eomech 52 ve O all hu: llmdlm prescri tion is Y. druggists for Afty Pr cliawell’s Bomp Fermin A tria1 Bottle can Be sbiateed. fres of charge, by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 456 Washington Monticello, Mlinols. L casured by severity, ‘“cranes and ts’’ assumes first place, the sever- ¢ rate varying from 1.2 to 2.3 days lost ,per 300-day worker in different groups of plants. In discussing the question of safe- ty in the machine-building industry it is important to remember that that industry not only uses macinery which needs to be safe-guarded, but that its work consists of the production of machines for use in other industrles The extent to which the machines thus manufactured will later be =a source of danger to the workers in those other industries depends in con- siderable measure upon the charac- ter of their original construction. The subject of machine design—of build- ing a machine in such a way as to offer the minimum of hazard to its future operators—thus becomes of NOVEMBER 19, 1917. " T R R D, very great significance. This subject is covered in considerable detail in the report. THE ILITTLE STOCKING. Contributions Asked for Children of Our Allies. “The Little Stocking” is the symbol of the Christmas fund which is being gathered by small contributions all over the country for the children of our allies. Our sons and fathers are fighting in the trenches along with the fathers of these little children in warring coun- tries. Children in America can have a happy, peaceful Christmas because of the sacrifices that are being made “Over There.” The little children of our allies are the helpless victims of the fortunes of war. They are deso- late that our children may be safe and happy. The Little Stocking suggests to every child and every lover of chil- dren that a little share of our Christ- mas cheer shouid be sent to the chil- dren of our allies withh the love and sympathy that is in our hearts. The War Children’s Relicf Fund receives and forwards the contribu- tions for the Christmas of the chil- dren of our allies, This fund will send vou a little stocking if vou write to them, so you can interest vour friends in th caus but you must promise to send the stocking back, because each little white stocking is actually to be sent to some child “Over “There.” Besides the bit of candy, or inex- pensive toy, or a few pennies that the Christmas’ stocking will contain, there will be good food provided and warm clothing. Tt is estimated that one dollar will give each child a happy Christmas Send it with your heart full of love. It will bring dividends of happiness to vou on Christmas Day to think that you have given a whole long happy day to some little child “‘Over There.” Send your contributions, whether large or small, to the War Children” Relief Fund, Hotel Majestic, New York. Mrs. ®va MacDonald Valesh, Na- tlonal chairman, will see that they reach the children promptly. She has been in this work since the first! year of the war and hopes to make 25,000 children happy this Christmas. | Make all contributions payable to War Children’s Relief Fund, Hotel Majestic, New York rate of 29 days lost. of the boiler shops are, primarily, result of insecure trestles and sc folding. For the excessive rates the yard department responsibility lrests upon the general neglect of safo location and construction of the trans- portation systems of many plan coupled with lack of safety precau- fions and instruction. One of the fundamental inquiries in a study of this character is whether or not accidents are decreasing. A precise answer is difficult, because of the fact that very few plants had re- lable accident records over a period of years. For one group of plants for which such information was obtain- sidering this fact. Captain Brelos is [ practically the only member of the :squn(l wha is known to football fol- | lowers outside of Chicago. He is play- \s made a very good showing, con- | ing end. able for the years 1910 to 1913 the frequency rate shows no decrease, but the severity rate, after running as high as 6 days in 1910, 8 days in 1911, and 7 days in 1912, drops to 3 days jn 1913. This decrease may reflect the more thorough safety organization effected in some of these plants in 1912. The fact that the frequency rate shows no decline is certainly due to the more complete reporting of minor accidents in the later years. A striking method of showing the effect of a good safety system in ac- cident prevention is to compare the accident rates in plants having, with those in plants not having, well-or- ganized systems. This is done for three important groups of plants. In every case the plants not having a good safety organization show acci- dent frequency rates three or four times as high as those having a well developed system. The report presents a very careful study of the very important subject of accident causes. For the industry as a whole “falling objects” stands out as the most frequent cause of acci- dents, the frequency rates being 14 cases per 1,000 300-day workers. As PIMPLY?
