was announced Saturday by the Com-
mission for Relief in Belgium. One
cargo will consist principally of flour
bought through donations of the re-
lief committees in Pittsburg and wes-
tern Pennsylvania. The second ship
will carry foodstuffs and clothing giv-
en by the people of Connecticut. The
ships will sail about January 1st.
One of the largest coal land deals
consummated in Western Pennsylvania
in many years was closed when the
Youghiogheny & Ohio Coal Company
of Cleveland purchased from the Car-
neigie Coal Company what is known
as its Charleroi plant. The purchase
price was $1,400,000. The property,
which is situated along the Monon-
ghela river and consists of 1,100 acres i
of rich coal land, will be transferred to
the purchasers immediately.
From drinking whiskey containing
wood alchohol, the eyesight of Henry
P. Eysink of Baltimore was damaged
to the extent of $7,500 according to
the findings of the jury in the court of |
Common Pleas, which returned a ver-
dict for that amount against Vincent
Fiaccomio, a saloonkeeper and Lee
Sonneborn & Company, wholesale
liquor dealers of that city.
Five persons were killed and many
injured in a passenger train wreck on
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad be-
tween Chester and Wilmington Thurs-
day night. Besides the five persons
killed a score of more were injured,
some fatally. Dense fog prevailed
and railroad officials say this probably
was the cause of the accident. The
wreck occurred at Felton, two miles
south of Chester. A train of empty
cars ran into an accommodation train
bound from Baltimore to Philadelphia.
The injured have been taken to Ches-
ter hospitals.
The tide of emigration to the United
© States ebbed to its lowest point in
more than twenty years during the
past fiscal year, according to figures
made public Thursday in the annual
report of Secretary Wilson, of the de-
partment of labor. The total number
of immigrant aliens, the report shows, |
fell from 1,218,480 in the previous
year to 326,700 in the period ending
June 30th, last. All admitted arrivals
of aliens, immigrant and non-immi-
grant, were only 434,244, as compared
with 1,403,801 of the year before. De-
parturés of aliens, emigrant and non-
emigrant, likewise show a notable de-
crease. For the fiscal year of 1914
departures were 633,805; for 1915,
384,174.
Every nation in the world will soon
lopk upon the American peace pil-
grims as taking the initiative in stop-
ping the worst war in the world’s
history. The landing of the peace éx
pedition in Europe will: be recogded:
ag one of the most, benevolent things”
thé American Republic eyer did,”said
Henry Ford Saturday on stepping
ashore on Norwegian soil. The steam-
ship, Oscar II, carrying the Ford par-
ty peace expedition arrived at Nor-
way after a fourteen-day viyage from
New York. The delegates expressed
much displeasure because the vessel
was delayed three days by the Brit-
ish authorities at Kirkwall, Scotland.
Mr. Ford said he was confident the
STATE WORKMEN'S COM-
PENSATION LAW
ployes subject to the workmen’s com-
pensation act of 1915 began in all sec-
tions of the state on Wednesdsay. The
state wide activity of insurance will
follow the announcement by the state
workmen's. insurance board of the
department.
With the workmen's compensation
act going into effect Jan. 1, approxi-
» {mately 200,000 employers in Pennsyl-
vania must, before that date, protect
their employes by compensation in-
surance.
The approved rates wich must be
observed by the authorized stock and
mutual insurance companies are bas-
ed on each $100 of annual payroll and
must be applied only for coverage of
compenstion liability. The state in-
surance fund is allowed a 10 per ceat
reduction under the rates as approved
for stock companies.
The manual containing the approv-
ed rates is the first to be issued in
this state and contains a number of
rulings regulating the writing of com-
pensation insurance.
Industrial plants which install safe
guards to protect teir employes from
injury be given schedule inspection
by inspectors from the department of |
labor and industry and the central
| bureau, to determine percentages of
reduction from approved rates, in re-
cognition of the precautions that have
been adopted within such plants.
Riates for coal mining have not been
approved by the insurance department
| Adaitional data on the hazard in
mining is being collected and complied
‘and these rates will prabably be a-
| vailable for distribution within a
I week.
| The manual which has already been
| forwarded to the authorized insurance
| carries, including the state fund, des-
|ignates the division of the payrolls |
{and the methods which should be used
{in underwriting the different hazards
[of all risks.
' Principal operation of a plant is
the governing classification of its risk
Subdivision will not be permitted, un-
less separate and distinct enterprises
are conducted by the same employer,
without interchange of labor.
Exceptions are made for executive
officers, clerical and office employes,
salesmen, collectors and messengers,
draftsmen, drivers and drivers’ help-
ers, chauffers and chauffers’ helpers,
blasting, stamping operations, rail-
road hazard and extraordinary alter-
ations and repairs.
The minimum premium that will be
charged by stock ana mutual com-
panies is $10, except on contractors’
risks, for which it is $20. Blasting
operations require an additional mini-
mum of $25. The minimum premium
for a compensation policy on a private
residence or farms is $6.
Among the more important rates in
the manual for the various classifica-
tions of occupation are the following:
tlie workers, (not otherwise classified)"

(ing), $3.46; quarries (no crushing),

had information from official SoRress |
that his peace plan was looked upon |
approvingly. He added that his mo- |
tive in going to Europe was to devel-
op to the full an understanding all |
throughout the world by the time the
peace sessions were begun at the
Hague, where William Jennings Bry- !
an was expected to join the peace
party. Mr. Ford explained that the
presence of the peace party in Nor-
way was merely to convince the Nor-
wegians of the fervent wish of the
Americans for peace. He expects to
gather a Norwegian delegation; then
in dbout three days proceed to Stock-
holm, Sweden. He said that the par-
ty would grow as he traveled through
the neutral countries, and that this
would convince the belligerents that
the world demands peace.

COMMAND SAFETY DURING
| Again the joyous season of Christ
'mas is approaching and with it comes
‘anxious moments as to the safety of
our children who, heretofore, have
been permitted to have full sway dur-
ing these festive days and many in-
stancs are recorded where anguish
has resulted, caused by accidents oc-
curring from the careless handling of
the use of inflammable material for
| decorative purposes.
i Let us make this Christmas Holi-
day carefree and happy by adopting
{precaution against the possibility of
l'accidents caused by fire.
Let us make it so, by caution and
the avoidance of carelessness in the
| handling of Christmas tree decorat-
ions. Flimsy decorations should neyer
be used. They have been the cause of
much sadness and many deaths. Let
us try to make our state the banner
state in freedom from distressing cas-
ulties, caused by thoughtless careless-
ness. Be happy and use care not to
mar this happiness,
Many entertainments will be given
in homes , schools and ¢Hurches, ba
zaars, and stores. Remember that light
tinflammable decorations: make easy
fires. Avoid their use. Decorations
of this kind should never be used
near gas jets. An air current may
Icause a disastrous fire.
‘Where possible electricity should
be used for lighting trees or
for decorative purposes and the wir-
ing should be done by a competent
electrician.
If trees are to be lighted by other
means than that of electricity, see
that children do not light or relight
candles. Frequently clothing is set
afire by permitting this. Avoid the
possibility. The tree will also burn
| when dry. Better no lights than to
irun the risk of having an innocent
| child lose its life through neglect wo
[PogerYe precaution for its safety.
Paper, cotton or other decoratins of
an inflammable material should never
be used. Use metallic tinsel or asbes-
tos material.
See that trees are securely fastened
to the floor so that children can not
pull the tree over when reaching for
'things.
Never permit cotton to be used be-
neath trees , to give the appearance
of snow. If the appearance of snow is
desired , use mineral wood or ashes-
‘tos. It will not burn and gives a bet-
ter effect than does cotton.
| Matches should never be left within
the reach of children. Keep them in
metal boxes and out of reach.
| Don’t let smokers throw lighted eis
gars, cigarettes or marches about in
a careless manner.
Be constantly on the warch for eny-
thing which might cause fire. Hava
merriment and plenty of it, but avoid
mourning by avoidance of careless-
ness. Strive to prevent casualties,
but be prepared for any emeregncy
by having placed conveniently fire ex-
tinguishers or buckets filled with wa-
ter.
Teach the children to be careful:
them at home; nothing appeals tothe
children more than drilling and when
lonce the are. made. of .realize the
'benefiit of knowing how to protect:
themselves in case of fire, it. will en-
able them to better care for them-
selves in time of danger.
