The geographical distribution of the new units will be taken up very shortly, but it is understood that communities having organizations of the old National Guard will likely be given them again.

The chief receiverships which the State super visies are those of financial, insur ance and building and loan organi zations. Receivers are required to make reports to the courts and if J what has been heard abdut some of \ the affairs, there are reports which are long overdue and upon which the Attorney General will call for early action or statements of reasons why they should be continued.

B. ConneHey, Commissioner of Labor and Industry, urging that they establish safety organizations in their plants, if they have not done so, and that they file reports on the manner in which safety committees operate. This will be the first time such a record of safety movements has been undertaken and it will also enable the department to have its safety experts get into touch with in dustrial managers. Dr. Connelley says that "the cost of living to-day carries a portion of the cost of industrial accidents" and that the economic loss caused by in dustrial accidents in Pennsylvania if divided between every person in the State would cost from 50 cents to $1 per capita per month. Between January 1, 1916, and August 1, 1919, there were 734,330 industrial acci dents, 10,800 of them fatal, accord ing to figures mentioned by him, while in the same period $28,038,- 303.34 was paid in workmen's com pensation with $5,000,000 additional required for carrying of disability claims to maturity and the same amount for medical or surgical care. The loss in wages lue to these acci dents is given as $50,000,000 and other costs calculated until the ag gregate from all sources is put at $173,000,000 for the accidents in 43 months.
