Nore Than 75,000 Fatalities in| U. 8. in 1082 | { Puftale, Oct, 1.~—Immediate steps must be adopted to prevent the ever increasing and appalling toll of hu- | man lives taken in the United States hy avoidable acoldents, Marous A | New York eity, president told 3,000 delegates to the annual | | and which will remain in session un- til October 6. Accidents in 1922 claimed more than 76,000 lives in this country, Mr Dow sald, Over a period of ten years, accident deaths have in- ereased out of all proportion, while 1o the same period Industrial acel cont fatalities have decreased, he told the congress af its opening session. Tho Great Tragedy VIt there is any doubt in the minds of any as to the great need of or. ganized safety work, just pieture the far-reaching and unhappy conse- quences of one single accident where- in the bread winner of one American famlly loses his life,” he continued “Visualize what it means to that fam. fly to be suddenly deprived of a hus- band and father without warning of any ¥ind. Then enlarge that picture by putting together thousands of in- dividun! cases of famlily demoraliza- tion and wuffering eaused by thous- ands of accidents occurring in a single year, and you have a pleture of hu- man suffering so pitiful, so appalling and yet, 80 inexcusable that one can but wonder that the country has not taken steps long before now to cor- rect the evil, “It s bad enough that 76,000 per- kons of any age or station in life should be sacrificed on the altar of |carelessness in single war, but when we stop t& consider that out of that number 20,000 were children un- der 15 years of age, of whom 10,000 wera bables under five years, it s time for us to rise up and exclaim; *This cannot go on. TLet us get to- gether and put a stop to it and wipe out this Blot upon our nation.' Safety Activities “Never have there been so many ety activities in the large communi- as this year. There are now 60 ‘organizations in as many cities in this ‘eountry which are promoting the idea ‘of safety among the people. “Pwo million school children will receive education in accident preven- tlon as a part of the regular public and parochial, school curriculum dur- ing the year. Textbooks on the sub- ject have been prepared with the help of the National Safety council and will be used in the school. “The wonderful growth of the safe- ‘ty movement in this country has been because of the fact that the American business man possesses something greater than mere business intelli- gence. He possesses a heart. He pos- wesses a soul. Encouraged by the suc- cess of mccident prevention work in industrial plants he has, in many cit- jes, put his organizing ability and his intelligence to work in the laudable effort to prevent accldents outside of the industrial plant. Railroads Aid Much “The steam railroads of America ‘has contributed significantly to the reduction of accidents through the safety section of the American Rall- way assoclation,” Mr. Dow sald. “Our purpose is to save human lives. The consummation of 11 years 1n that direction has been the realiza- tion that each individual can save others from premature death and can prevent personal injury if he will con- scientiously do the things we have together learned will bring about the maximum of safety.” The following resolutions have been prepared for acceptance by the coun- cil: . 1. [The mdoption and strict enforce- ment of uniform, practicable laws and ordinances for the safeguarding of ‘trafflc and the protection of the mul- , titude of law-abiding drivers and pe- * ‘\destrians against the criminal reck- lesspess of the few. 8. The more careful study of our street and highway systems, hoth ex- isting and projected, by competent engineering and traffic experts from the standpoint of safe and traftic movement. Machinery Protection 8. The safeguarding of all danger- ous machinery and places in indus- try and elsewhere, according to stand- ard methods of proved value, 4 The development of industrial equipment and processes along lines of inherent safety for the double pur- pose of eliminating accident hazards and increasing production efficiency. § The education of all workmen and their supervisors in sale methods and habits of work. 6 The training in safety thinking of all school children, as well as stu- dents in colleges and universitie both for their own protection and as an object lesson in good citizenship. 7.

C. FEAR GERMAN REICH IS DUE FOR EARLY COLLAPSE Opinion of British Writers in Ger. many Is That Organization Is Fast Failing. London, Oct. 1.—Profound anxiety and doubt as to the maintenance of the unity of the German reich s ex- pressed by British newspaper corre- spondents in Berlin who sent home long dispatches dealing with the dangerd in the situation. “It appears at the moment that nothing but a miracle can hold the reich together much longer," says one correspondent and his view is sup- ported by several others. A break by | Bavaria is written of not as a possi- bility but almost as a certainty, an opinion which is strengthened by re- markable royalist demonstration took place in Munich on Sunday when Prince Rupprecht and his wife, at. tending a military memorial ceremony are reported to have been acclaimed with frantic shouts of “long live our king and queen.” A review of Prinee Rupprecht of the memorial w: ttended by Dr. von Kaher, the Bavarian dictator, | Premier von Knilling, Gen. von TLos- son, and many other officers who wore gala uniforms that recalled the sump- tuous military spectacles of pre-war days. The enthusiasm is said to have been great, The central government the special dispatches say, is intrigned against not only by the nationalists but hy the soclalists, and according to some of the writers the cabinet shows signs of immediate disintegration. \ All accounts concur in stating that the situation in the Ruhr is extreme- ly combustible dnd may have a sen- sational turn at any moment. One re- port from Wssen says the [rench authorities foreseeing trouble, have ordered all French officers and sol- diers to quit occupied territory within two days.

Hawker AT BREAKING FRENCH ARMY Police Bmicials Claim Evidence of Conspiracy Almed At Morale of the Poilus Paris, Oect. 1.—French police offi- cials are actively engaged it became known today in running down a com- munist plot to create defections in the army, The extremist leaders are using the pretext that the rench forces in the Ruhr and Rhineland are likely to be called on to suppress disturbances and uprisings of either a communist or nationalist nature. They have been busy, the police say, distributing sub- versive tracts in barracks in Paris and suburbs as well as elsewhere in France and have even succeeded in m‘nlng1 some of this literature into the hands of the Rubr soldiers, An order informing the rank and file of the communist party that “vie- lent action is imminent” and that the members must hold themselves ready to respond at any moment to a call to the communist standard was found on persons arrested for distributing the tracts, The police regard this as an intention to weaken ¥rench action in the Rulir in case of a communist ris- ing there, W OF U, 8. -A Reuter dispatch RUSSIA London, Oct. 1, from Moscow quotes Minister of War Trotzky as saying in reply to a ques- tions: “As long as private property exists in America, American interests in Russia will be respected and all engagements entered Into with the so- viets will be scrupulously kept.
