Occupational Accident indicate
Necessity of Better Safety Code
Occupational accidents in Amer
ica. last year caused the deaths
of some 16,000 workers, the in
jury of 2,000,000 more and econo
mic losses of $4,500,000,000, Mau
rice J. Tobin, Secretary of Labor
and general chairman of the
President’s Conference on Indus
trial Safety, revealed in Wash
ington.
The fact that the President
of the United States has called a
national conference on industrial
safety,” Secretary Tobin declared,
“bears testimony to the gravity
of this problem. It is true that
there has been a 50 percent reduc
tion in occupational accidents in
the past quarter of a century, and
it is also true that the worker of
today is safer at his job than in
his home or on the street. How
ever, when every 32 minutes an
American citizen encounters death
on his job, and when every 16 sec
onds another worker suffers a dis
abling injury, it is time for em
ployers, employees and the gene
ral public to sit up and do some
thing about it.”
Secretary Tobin pointed out
that, according to statistics, more
workers suffer disabling injuries
between 10 and 11 o’clock in the
morning and between 3 and 4
o’clock in the afternoon than dur
ing any other hours of the day,
and added:
“An occupational accident, no
matter what time of the day or
night it occurs, is almost always
a sympton of something wrong in
the production process—some
thing wrong with the man, the
machinery, the method, or the
materials. Practically every indus
trial accident is evidence of a
hazard in the working environ
ment, of inefficiency in supervi
sion, or lack of adequate training
of employees.
It is in the smaller business
or plant that the influence of acci
dent prevention techniques is par
ticularly needed. Individually, the
small business concern does not
have a startling number of acci
dents during any one year. How
ever, considering all small busi
ness firms collectively, they re
port a greater number of acci
dents annually than the larger
plants. I do not mean to say that
management in smaller plants is
less considerate, but rather to
point out where general educa
tion can be especially helpful.
Most big plants have safety specia
lists and accident prevention work
ers constantly on the job. The
much more numerous small plants
often must look to outside sources
for help.”
The “monstrous figure” of $4,
500,000 paid out annually in the
name of occupational accidents,
Secretary Tobin declared, does
not include many other costs al
ways associated with occupation
al accidents in the factory and on
the farm. Since all costs must be
included in the price the ultimate
consumer pays for a product or
service, occupational accident pre
vention “not only saves human
suffering, but also helps every
body’s pocketbook.”
Students Have Interest in Bond Issue
For November Vote, Says Byrne
University students as well as
those enrolled in other Oregon
State System of Higher Education
institutions have a long-range in
terest in the obligation bond issue
which will appear on the November
ballot, Charles D. Byrne, chancellor
of the State Board of Higher Edu
cation, stated Tuesday.
The following is a statement
from the office of the chancellor:
The measure is the result of a
legislative act that will enable the
State Board of Higher Education
to redeem and refund special reve
nue bonds and issue general obliga
tion bonds in their stead. What will
that accomplish? A minimum sav
ing of $1,200,000 in interest pay
ments over the life of the bonds.
Five buildings are directly con
cerned. They are the Student Union
and Carson Hall at the University;
the Coliseum and Sackett Hall at
Oregon State College; and Hunt
Education. Estimates show that
400,000 could be saved on the Un
ion Building over the life of the
bonds.
In order to place the faith and
credit of the State behind these
building payments, a constitutional
amendment is necessary. When ob
ligating the state’s credit, the tax
ing power is required.
However we firmly believe it will
not be necessary to levy any tax to
pay off either the principal or in
terest on these building bonds. The
money to pay off the bonds will
come, as in the past, from the build
ing fee, dormitory receipts, special
privilege charges, concessions, pro
ceeds from athletic events, and
gifts. Over a period of a quarter
century, the State Board has never
failed to meet an interest or prin
cipal payment.
Weekend Rules Set For Women
All University women planning
to stay overnight in Portland this
weekend in hotels or at private
homes were reminded Thursday
by the Director of Women's Af
fairs that special permission is
necessary.
Mrs. Edith Jacobs, women’s
counsellor, announced that all
women whose weekend plans in
cluded overnights except at their
own homes or those of their girl
friends must have their parent’s
written permission for the specific
—*
nights on file with the director’s
office before leaving the campus.
Those women staying at the
homes of friends must make cer
tain that their regular permission
card signed by their parents is in.
the housemother’s hands. These
regulations are similar to those of
the University in the past.
It’s wise to apologize to a man
if you’re wrong—and to a woman
if your right.
