The report then sa “While doubtless this very low centage is the result of the protection afforded Ly the installation of mechanical safegua a study of the chart is im- mediately convineing that accidents cannot be eliminated through physical corrective measures alone. It will be noted that hand labor was responsible for 44.04 per cent or nearly one-half, of all these accidents, the majority of which could not possibly have been prevented by the use of mechanical safety devices and appliances, but were due to carelessness and the fail- | ure of the workmen to observe sim-| ple precautions conducive to safety, Therefore, our safety activ. s have been governed by two prime factors— | engineering rev n and education.” | IRISH ARE HOPEFUL Amnecsty Is Granted All Those Who for serious accidents 1906 when was Binee itter reduction been t year, § plants, men | Will Lay Down Their Arms on or | Before February 13, | Dublin, Feb. 9 (By the Associated Press)—Hopes for a reconcili between the Irish Free State govern-| ment and at least p: of the repub- lican element were brighter today in | consequence of the developments that | led Richard Mulcahy, the minister of | defense, to offer amnesty “to all in| arms against the government who will surrender their arms on or be- fore February 13.” The minister’s proclamation was the result of ILiam Deasy's appeal to other republican leaders to lay down their arms as he himself has con- sented to do. Deasy, De Valera's chief deputy, is one of several ir- regulars who have been sentenced to death., A few days ago, however, he signed an agreement for the surren- der of arms and men, and was then permited to issue a communication to several prominent republicans, in- | cluding De Valera himself, Austin Stack and Tiam Lynch, asking them | to take a similar step. Meanwhile stays of execution have been granted. Just what will be De Valera's re- sponse to the appeal is unknown. | However, it was only recently that through the medium of a newspaper interview he reiterated his uncom- promising hostility toward the Free State government and his insistence upon a republic. William Cosgrave, president of the Dail Eireann, :eft for London last night. His visit, undertaken in the company of Hugh Kennedy, the gov- ernment's legal adviser, it reported to have considerable political signifi- cance. * BANK IS GUARANTEED Rigsdag of Denmark Fstablishes State | Guarantee for Landmansbank So It Can Continue in Business.
