W: PRICE TELLS PLANS Advantages of Education to Pre vent Accidents Is Outlined at Dinner to Visitors. Oregon is to have a state council of the National Safety council.

C. "W. Price, general manager of the Kational Safety council, was the guest last night of a dinner tendered by Ore Eon manufacturers in the crystal room of the Benson hotel, and delivered an address showing what has been accom plished in tther sections of the country In the prevention of unnecessary acci dents. He gave statistics showing that during the 19 months of war this na tion los,t 56,227 men in battle and some 200,000 were wounded. In the same period here In America, he said, 126,654 were killed through accidents in fac tories, on the street or in the home, and more than two millions were in jured permanently, or sufficiently to necessitate the loss of four weeks' time. Movement Shown Effective. ' Mr. Price declared there never was a time In the history of the country when employers were working more diligently for the welfare of their employes and coming to a realisation of what the loss in human factory equipment means to industry. He touched upon the sit uation in England and then took up a number of factories in which the safety campaign had been inaugurated, citing figures to show the effectiveness of the movement. Briefly he reviewed the progress of the National Safety council, its pro gramme for the conservation of hu manity and the great benefit that in dustry is realizing through the effort now being made to place every possible safeguard about its workers. Education, he said, is being found far more valuable than mechanical devices in preventing accidents and every com pany inaugurating the campaign has been rewarded by extraordinary divi dends. The St. Louis car shops. Mare Island shipyard, Omaha smelter. "Wisconsin paper mills, steel corporation and the 3 ailroads were held up as examples of accomplishment in the prevention of heedless accidents and loss of life. Local lteanlts Cited.
