MONTESANO. W-asri.. Kov. 13.
Spocial.) Casualties in Washington
-lumber and logging industries from
October 1, 1913. to October 1, 1920.
were: Men killed, 244; men injured.
6S51; total, 6095.
Casualties in the Spanish-American
war were: Men1 killed, 290; men
wounded. 1431, died from disease,
2565; total, 4286.
-More deadly than war" was the
term applied to the lumber and log
ging Industries of "Washington by the
state safety board, which has begun
steps for the protection of the work
men and the employer. Coupled with
the. total of 609 deaths and injuries
was the statement from It It. Hughes,
chairman of the. Washington state
industrial insurance commission, that
4,577,870 was paid out in Washing
ton, from October 1, 1911, to Septem
ber 1, 1920, for claims on account of
injuries in the lumber and logging
Industries. The sum of $2,444,243.27
was set aside for a reserve to guar
antee pensions on account of perma
nent total disability and to the de
pendents of those who died as a re
feult of their injuries, making a total
past during the period of f7.O22.114.06.
Casualties Axe Analysed.
The Washington lumber and log
ging industries disbursed 1.92 per
cent of their payroll from 1911 to
1312 on account of accidents and in
juries. B. Van Vlack, claim adjuster for
the industrial insurance commission,
analyzed the casualties for the year's
period aa follows? Logg'ng opera
tions fatal accidents 141, permanent
total disability 7, temporary total dis
ability 1842, permanent partial dis
ability S62. total 2652; sawmills and
shingle mills, fatal accidents 103, per
manent total disability 6, temporary
total disability 2620, permanent par
tial disability 814, total 3548.
According to a recent compilation
there were 259 logging operations in
the state of Washington and the ap
proximate number of men employed
was 30.000. The conclusion that log
ging is "more deadly than war" has
been reached after a study of the
figures, which show far greater dan
gers in logging. The rate of deaths
and injuries in logging exceeded by
far those of war, comparing the num
ber of men involved.
"The results of safety work have
not yet shown on the surface." said
Mr. Hughes, who was in attendance
at the Pacific Logging congress, held
recently. "Accidents in the logging
camps of the state have increased.
There has been a particularly large
increase in fatal accidents. To a con
siderable extent this is accounted for
by the fact that there has been a
large increase in the number of men
employed. It is also quite likely that
there is a hew element of green men
coming into the logging industry, so
that inability to get results that show
on the surface is not yet to be
charged up to failure, of the safety
movement in the logging industry.
By reason of the reckless spirit of
the loggers, it is likely that safety
work will be much more difficult
among them than in other lines of
Industry."
Kield Is Inspiring.
Referring to the subject of indus
trial insurance, Mr. Hughes, out of
his experience as a member of the
Washington industrial insurance com
mission, said that the problem of the
Injured worker presented a field of
activity for the most interesting and
inspiring work possible.
The attention of industrial accident
boards in all states of the Pacific
Coast has been attracted to the need
for more energetic effort to prevent
accidents in the lumber and logging
industries. In a statement on the
reduction of logging accidents. Frank
J. Clayton, chairman of the Idaho In
dustrial accident board, at Boise,
Idaho, said that between November
X. 1919, and July 31, 1920, a total of
1117 claims for accidents had been
closed. Of this number there were
65 fatal accidents, of which 24 were
in logging, five in mill work and
five in transportation.
"It is not the comparison of old
and new methods of felling trees
that concerns us most." he stated.
"We are more interested in the men,
who, in spite of wonderful labor-saving
machinery, are still the essential
factors of this-great industry. Men
match their puny strength against
mighty trees, and the toll taken in
human life and limb is appalling. Of
all the claims filed during the speci
fied period, 30.8 per cent were by
lumbering employes.
"Constant association with danger
dulls the senses to its presence. The
factory worker and the mill operator
have a similar experience. It is im
possible to safeguard machine opera
tions so that consideration of the
personal equation is negligible. It is
a more difficult problem to cope with
this factor in woods work, especially
In a mountainous country, where a
majority of industrial accidents are
largely due to it.
Men Often Indifferent.
. "ManJ- men often work indiffer
ently or thoughtlessly, and such'
workers are more liable to injury
thnthose who apply an intelligent
interest in their daily task. The ques
tion of independent contractors and
piece work is also one that has given
the Idaho industrial accident board
much annoyance.
"Will J. French, chairman of the
California industrial accident commis
sion, reported that steps had been
taken in California to improve the
health of the workmen by improving
the condition of the logging camps to
prevent disease.
"The removal of dust and gases in
employment is required," he said.
"Good sanitation and better lighting
facilities are factors in the safety
and health campaign. We are think-
ing of adding a chemist to the safety
staff, so that analyses may show ex
actly what is detrimental to the
workmen."
A report from William A. Marshall,
" chairman of the Oregon industrial
accident commission, showed that
from July 1, 1918, to June 30, 1920,
there were 4245 accidents in the log
ging industry, of which. 143 were
-fatal.
WHAT does the modern advance
agent know about laying out
paper? What does he know
about wlldcatting that is, booking
your show aa you go? In the old
days If you were out prospecting a
place to land your troupe, saw a big
smoke from the car window and failed
to pull the bell rope you were not a
good advance man. A big smoke
meant industry; industry meant em
ployes; employment meant wages, and
wages ought to mean a show. .
What did the advance man of the
erstwhile day know about holding up
the landlord with an order on the
manager? What did he know about
working the railroad agent for a
pass? What did he know but
enough! There were a thousand
things the old-fashioned advance
agent did that his modern prototype
doesn't do. The advance, man now is
generally known as a press represen
tative. He travels in style, he pays
his way with the best, he is a bang-up
business man. The change came
about when the show business was
put on a business basis as a result of
the methods inaugurated by the
once much-criticised theatrical syn
dicate. These are the thoughts from under
the dome of Henry Pennypacker, ad
vance man for "The Scandals of 1919,"
which is to set 'em guessing at the
Heilig theater for three nights com-
mencing Thursday, November 18. Let
Mr. Pennypacker tell it himself:
"In the old days the advance agent
usually wore a red necktie, a plug
hat, a fur-collared overcoat, a dia
mond pin and a huge watch chain.
The fur overcoat frequently was suf
fering from the mange, but it helped
make a front. When the agent called
on the local dramatic editor it was
his custom to pass out cigars and
hand him, in addition, a printed set of
advance notices, usually made up of
clippings from criticisms in other
towns. Often the best agent was con
sidered to be the one who could stand
at a bar and drink hard liquor the
longest without showing it.
"Speaking of railroad passes there'
ain't no sich animal nowadays re
minds me of Al. Primrose, a brother
of the late George, the well-known
minstrel man. AL Is retired now and
lives here in Portland. He was ahead
of his brother's minstrela at the time;
as he boarded a train, he met an
other agent, Pete Cavanaugh by
name, who explained that he was
broke and wanted to get to the next
town. Al.. said, "I have a pass only
for myself.' Cavanaugh replied, 'Let
me look at it,' and after a glance
said, 'That will be all right.' When
the conductor came tnrough Al. pre
sented his pass, which raid, 'Pass AL
Primrose and bill boxes.
'How about your friend's ticket?"
asked the conductor. Cavanaugh
grinned and said, 'That pass is for
two my name is Bill Boxes. And
they got away with it."
NEW BILLS AT THE MOVIES
(Continued from Page 10.)
one of the most striking roles he has
had in many months.
It is a complete departure from his
recent westerndramas, but, none the
less effective, for it gives him a, char
acterization that places heavy demand
upon his versatility and dramatic
power. As a result he is certain to
elicit new praise from the thousands
who have admired his splendid por
trayals for seasons past and who will
welcome Ms new productions with
open arms.
This is the third of bis personal
productions and is regarded as fully
up to the high standard set by "The
Toll Gate" and "Sand" the two pre
ceding pictures.
The. "Barbary Coast" in San Fran
cisco, the haunt of the submerged
tenth, the underworld habitues, crooks
and others, is the scene of the story
which shows the transformation of a
man in the vortex of great events,
how he wins honor and love after
youth spent in the lowest circles of
society.
It was adapted by Lambert Hillyer
and also directed by him. Joe August
was the photographer. Ann Little is
leading woman and Thomas Santschi
hasthe heavy role. Gertrude Claire
also has a strong character role.

Hotel men from eleven western states
will meet here November 17 to 19 to
plan a comprehensive campaign- for
the purpose of directing world-wide
travel to the western part of the
United States next year. ,
The call for the gathering was is
sued by John F. Shea, secretary of
the Western Hotels Scenic associa
tion, who outlined the following ob
jects to be sought at the meeting:
To obtain federal government ap
propriation to encourage travel in
America, and to educate the people
to travel within America, by carrying
on a publicity and advertising cam
paign in this and other countries for
the purpose of advertising tne scenic
wonders, climate, highways, lakes, in
land waterways, resources, . places or
historic interest, national parks, na
tional monuments and national for
ests of America.
For. federal, state, county and city
governmental appropriations for the
construction of highways from na
tional park to national park.

through the east and -south and was
in consultation with the leading travel
agencies of the Atlantic coast, said
Mr.. Shea. The men in charge of
thoe e organizations expect 'big travel'
to Europe commencing next April.
They are planning a big campaign of
advertising to be released in January.
if we expect the benefit of travel in
America and in our territory com
munity advertising must be done by
the United States government, states,
hotel associations, railroads, steam
ship companies and other travel pro
ducing agencies on a larger scale
than has hitherto been conceived-
"Tho government, hotel men, hotel
associations, railroads and others
similarly situated should unite for
action through governmental, state,
community and general advertising
schemes under the battle cry of 'See
America First.'. The thought should
be made verily to ring in the ears of
every American leaving his home
town for a vacation."

for Reform to Begin.
WHITMAN COLLEGE. Walla Walla.
Wash, Nov. 13. That the incorrect
use of English by college and high
school students is one of the appall
ing failures of the "present-day edu
cational system. Is the opinion of
Dean W. R. Davis, head of the Eng
lish department at Whitman, who said
in connection with the present better-speech
campaign that from his
observations "there is very little con
scious attention to self-cultivation of
English by college students, their
English generally being distinctly be
low standaj-d."
"This is due to lack of early train
ing in homes and public schools, says
the dean.
Dean Davis declared the use of
English by high school students, was
better than 50 years ago, but still far
from what it should be. The dean
said the better-speech campaign was
one of the most significant and prom
ising movements of the last quarter
century for persons interested in the
improvement of the speech habit of
Americans. He urged that proclama
tions by governors and mayors of
cities and special propaganda by large
employers be used to make speech
success.
Teachers have recognized for a
long time the utter futility of the at
tempt to train pleasing and efficient
speech, conversation and platform ut
terances by the use of a few minutes
a week in classrooms while boys and
girls live in homes and communities
that give absolutely no encourage
ment to them in forming better
speaking habits. There must be
closer co-operation.
"When business men and employers
realize that better and more pleasing
speech on the part of their employes
means better business and bigger
profits there is h'ope for real im
provement. The day of the shrill.
high-pitched linguistic voice and
slovenly use of English Is coming to
pass, and 1 believe business is com
ing to recognize this fact."

Housing Problem So Acuto That to
Rent Flat In Big Cities Well
nigh Impossible.
STOCKHOLM. Nov. 13. Prospects
for the coming winter are regarded
by many Swedish business men as
anything, but bright at present.
After the war blockade was lifted,
the country became flooded with
American and English produce, chief
ly textiles, foodstuffs, and automo
biles. ' As a result. th dollar rate
soared from 3.20 kroner to nearly 6.
The importation of foreign foodstuffs
soon ceased, but textiles and auto
mobiles aje still pouring into the
country at such a rate that an em
bargo upon their importation is being
seriously considered.
The overflow has thrown thousands
of Swedish workers out of employ
ment. The great mills at Norrkop
ing and Boras have been working only
four ' days weekly since August and
they are now preparing a general dis
missal of ther employes.
High wages, and the operation of
the eight-hour day which has been
in force here for a year, are blamed
in some quarters for this state of
affairs.
Swedish manufacturers, especially
of iron and steel, are no longer able
to compete with the foreign-made
articles. For a time, plants have been
accumulating stocks, but signs
abound -that this has reached its
limits. A strike in the building trade

has lasted for nearly a year and the
housing problem has become so acute
that to rent a flat in Stockholm or
in any of the big Swedish centers is
well nigh impossible.
With all this, the workers rontinne
agitating for still higher wages and
shorter hours. The elections last
September resulted in disapproval of
the Socialist regime and the present
socialist government is said to b
anxioMs to relinquish offire.
