SAFETY ECONOMICS
Accidents constitute a tremendous
charge against industrial manage
ment, but, viewed from an economic
angle alone and taking no heed of the
pain and misery they involve, they are
far more expensive to the employe.
With the employer, the cost of acci
dents can be covered into the expense
of production and thus absorbed, but
with the employe, a mishap that puts
him on the compensation roll instead
of on the payroll occasions a loss that
is irretrievable. There is no way by
which he can regain those lost days
of productive capacity.
If you were one of the thousands of
employes injured in the industries of
Ohio in 1936, you will have had a prac
tical realization of the fact that it
was a drain on your resources to be
on this casualty list. It should require
no argument to convince you that Ohio
workers cannot lose 7,936,820 days'
time in a single year without definite
lowering of their economic standards.
Bill Recommended
Columbus, Ohio (OLNS)—Amend
ing the workmen's compensation law
to require the filing of occupational
disease death claims with the indus
trial commission within six months
after death, House Bill No. 618, intro
ducer by Representative John E. Cur
tin, Lucas county, was approved and
recommended for passage by the
house committee on labor last week.
The bill is a part of the legislative
program of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor, and the extension of time
for filing occupational disease death
claims from four to six months was
agreed upon by employer representa
tives, according to Thomas J. Don
nelly, legislative agent and secretary
treasurer of the State Federation.
State Employes
To Elect Leaders
Schwenn Coal Company
Columbus, Ohio (OLNS)—All state
employes are urged to attend the bi
monthly meeting of Local No. 5,
American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employes at the Neil
House, Thursday evening, April 1.

Five-Day Week Sought
For State's Employes
Boston (ILNS)—A bill has been
filed in the Massachusetts legislature,
calling for a five-day, thirty-hour
week for state employes. Under the
provisions of the bill, which was intro
duced by Thomas E. Barry, of Boston,
all state departments would be closed
entirely on Saturdays and Sundays.
For the remaining five days of the
week, the state departments would be
open from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. only. The

BUY ONLY
Boot and Shoe Workers'
Union Label Footwear
The union label trades department
of the American Federation of Labor,
in conformity with a resolution
adopted at its last convention, urges
all members of labor unions and their
families, together with their friends,
to buy only those shoes which display
the union stamp of the Boot and Shoe
Workers' Union. It is the only approv
ed union label officially recognized by
the American Federation of Labor for
all kinds of footwear.
WORKERS UNION
UNIONAJISTAMP
Extraordinary efforts have been
made by unfair shoe manufacturers to
deceive the consuming public. The
words, "union made," and faint prints
of unauthorized labels have been
stamped in shoes, but they are not
made by members of the Boot and Shoe
Workers' Union, and should not be
purchased by members or organized
labor and their friends. There is an
increased demand for shoes bearing
the genuine union label of the Boot
and Shoe Workers' Union. The union
label trades department urges the
stores that fail to buy shoes from
stores that fail tobuy shoes from man
manufacturers who display it.
I. M. Ornburn, secretary-treasurer
of the union label trades department,
most urgently appeals to all officers
and members of the affiliated national
and international labor unions of the
American Federation ofLabor, the
American Federation of Labor, the
railway labor unions, the International
Women's Union Label Leagues, local
union label city central bodies, local
labor unions and their friends to pur
chase only those shoes that display the
union label of the Boot and Shoe
Workers' Union.
CHISELING MINORITY
OF INDUSTRIALISTS
Held Preventing Fair Em
ployers' Decent Wages
Toronto (ILNS)—Industry can't be
trusted not to exploit its workers,
and, with the present cut-throat com
petition for jobs, we deem it necessary
to intervene to fix minimum wages for
male as well as female workers, said
David Croll, minister of labor in the
Ontanio government, presenting to
the provincial legislature bills to
amend the minimum act, the indus
trial standards act and the appren
ticeship act.
The amendments provide for the
setting-up of a labor and industry
board with authority to fix minimum
wages for male workers and to ad
minister the industrial standards act
by virtue of which wage and working
agreements arrived at by collective
bargaining are legally enforceable.
Decent Majority Helpless
"The government takes the stand
that industries which cannot or will
not pay decent wages are not wanted
in Ontario," said Mr. Croll. "The
average employer is a fair man, a hu
mane one, anxious to pay his workers
decently.
"But the average employer does not
establish the wages of a competitive
industry. They are determined men
without conscience, men who will drive
the wage level down until it is not
much better than the relief allow
ance of the average-sized family. In
self defense, the decent majority have
to drop their wage scales. With the
best intentions in the world they may
not be able to compete unless they in
duce the labor item on their cost
sheet.
"Thousands on thousands of men
with families in Ontario are working
long hours for wages only a shade
above what their families would be
receiving were the men idle and or
relief—wages at the shockingly low
levol of $5 to $10 for a full week'^
work.
Time for Challenge Here
"We've been brought up to th
theory of the sanctity of profits and
the rock-bottom wage," Mr. Croll
added. "But the time has come
challenge the brutal theory of a nat
ural law of wages."
COMMITTEE KILLS
MUSICIANS' BILL
Columbus, Ohio (OLNS)—By a voti
of 7 to 5, the house committee on labor
last week indefinitely postponed con
sideration of House Bill No. 333
which would have prohibited the use
of school bands and orchestras in
functions outside the school.
Molders Win 40-Hour Week
And Minimum Pay Increase
San Francisco (fLNS)—An agree
ment regarding wages and hours in
the Bay district of California has
been reached between the members of
Local Union No. 164, San Francisco,
of the International Molders' Union
of North America, and the East Bay
Foundrymen's Association. The agree
ment provides for a 40-hour work
week, from Monday to Friday inclu
sive, and wage increases on the mini
mum scales of from 8 to 15 per cent.
The effective date of the agreement
was March 1.
This affects two thousand members
of the Molders' Union in the Bay dis
trict, both journeymen and non-jour
neymen. This is the first agreement
between the members of the union
and the foundrymen in that district
in nearly sixteen yeras.

Boston (INLS)—State Labor Direc
