EVENING IiEDGEB-PgILADELPHiA) ifaONDY, gtiGTmi ZT; IfttT""' ' ''t'Spfe Send Us Supplies appeal f the byS in the trenches and their very lives as wel1 as the saf ety of the world, depend on how we answer their fh? w. w eSt)ned -n pa? a y,ital ,pa.rt in winning this war, but it will be her vast army of skilled workmen, as well- as the soldiers in the trenches, who will strike the decisive blow. tn SS S111 ever bef ?re' e A1!ies are dependent on this country for food and all kinds of war material. And now, in addition wEW?n, We mU e(l.V1.?. and1maintain an ay of our own at the front. This places a heavy burden of responsibility on to the ! enire count" responsiblllty that is shared by every mechanic farmer, railroad employe, clerk, factory hand and laborer It is the duty of every man to do all in his power to speed up production otherwise he is a slacker. And remember s!$e 3M .wMv B n The Careless Workman Is An Enemy of His Country for he slows up the wheels of production, reduces the efficiency of the entire industrial organization and curtails the nation's output of war material so urgently needed by the boys who are fighting our battles overseas. Now, more than ever before, skilled workmen are the nation's most valuable asset. But the demand exceeds the supply, and when a man is incapacitated it is impossible to fill his place except by taking a workman from another job. In Pennsylvania alone 3413 were killed and 312,637 were injured as the result of industrial accidents during the first fifteen months following the enact ment of the workmen's compensation act Most of these accidents were the result of carelessness and could have been averted by the observance of simple safety first rules. And this frightful sacrifice of life and limb, this wanton economic waste, still goes on unabated. Think what it means to our boys at the front who are dependent on us for food, clothing and munitions. Every Industrial Accident Means Lessened Production, and That Spells Added Hardship for the Men "Over There" Every time a farmer is killed or injured the produc tion of foods is curtailed. Every railroad accident retards the transportation of supplies to the seaboard. Every time a shipyard employe is incapacitated it delays the completion of our new merchant marine. Every time a workman is killed or injured, no matter in what line of endeavor he is engaged, the industrial power of the nation is weakened and we need all our might to crush the foe we now are grappling with.
