Harper's Bazar. :r Appalling , -Irtdustrial IJeath-Roll . , By Edgar T, iDavies, Chief Factory In- . spector of Chicago. HE United States-is justly suffering the reproach of permitting the most reckilesa waste of human life of any civilized country in the world. ; TMis sad tfact is amply sustained by our own statistics.- Other industrial countries which we have completely outstripped in the race for the world's , business have, considered special regulation of dangerous trades and machinery a positive r necessity of modern industry. -Ve have done practically noth JSng. It is r high time that these facts became known to our people, that; the conditions be understood and the . public conscience, aroused so thats proper Treanedies may be applied, for! at the hands of our legislatures with some prom ise of success. The people of the United States, somewhat inflated with an 'ordinate sense of their own1 greartness '. and their -wonderful material pros perity, stupidly refuse in these times of peace to keep abreast of the en 32g3xtened humane countries of .the .world, but, go on killing every four years, according to reliable estimates, some 80,000 people more than all: who fell an battle and died offcwounds during the entire period of our civil war. In pother words, we are now, killing in industrial accidents over fifty per cent, snore people than two great armies would destroy in-the same period of time accoutred with all the horrible implements of ..death which modern Invention 1 2ias produced. -.

Farmers In New York "State are receiving from the New York -Department of Health let ters setting forth the requirements of the department necessary to Insure a pure milk supply for the New York City market. The requirements run all the way from cleaning the window panes' of the cowpen to cutting the cow's hair. One farmer who had received a list of the department's requirements de clares that if some of the rules are carried out there will be a serious shortage of milk in the market, as to obey orders would mean a great ex pense and require so much time at tending to the animals that very little profit would result to the owners. The "While the price of milk for the coming six months by one big con trolling . concern " has been advanced sixteen per cent, over last year's price, it must be taken into consider ation that the. price of the principal feeds has gone up twenty-five per cent." t . . :.. y ' -. .:-. The same man pointed out that to meet the requirements more help would be required and that all this would eat up the little profit that the cow raiser now makes. : In addition it is hard to get competent help. Too Early For Cleaning. One requirement to which local farmers make strenuous objection is that requiring that the cowshed be thoroughly cleaned , before the cows are milked. As the milking is done very early each morning, perhaps long before daylight, it can be seen that the cleaning process will be al most an. Impossibility. The farmer is not wealthy, and many of them have nob the cash to make the re quired improvements about . their premises. - - "Where are our very small present profits' to come in?" said an owner of several head after reading . the de partment circular. "Where 1s.. the money to come from to put in a 'non absorbent floor and six-inch gutters with rounded corners of the non-absorbent material? Are we required to put inUIghts, so that the feeding troughs be lighted? I am unable to see .where it Insures pure milk to have tfce cow Bee what she is eating, or perhaps have the window clean so that she may gaze pensively, over the barnyard while she chews her cud. " "Another requirement is that all the help be provided with clean suits when they go in to make the cows comfortable or relieve them of their milk. My wife would object to that, and farmers wives never have much tO dO." ' : As a general thin? the farmers do not believe that epidemic of disease has been caused by the condition of the milk they have sent to the mar ket, and they considerthat the Health Department's demands are beyond reason. Already some are deter mined not to send their milk to New York City, and are arranging to send it elsewhere or dispose of it locally. Health Department Requirements. Some of the requirements of the New York Department of Health fol low: . - That the floors be constructed of concrete or some non-absorbent mate rial. That the floors be made water tight and properly graded. That the drops or. gutters be con structed of-concrete, stone, or some non-absorbent material. That -they be at least six inches iiv. depth, with all corners rpunded. V- That the feeding troughs, plat forms and cribs be well lighted and kept clean at all times. , That additional windows be in stalled in the cow barn to provide sufficient light.- (Two square feet of window space for each cow to be the minimum). . That the window panes be washed and kept clean at all times. That the walls and ledges be thor oughly swept down and kept free from dust, dirt or cobwebs , at all times. That an inspection of the herd by a veterinarian be made and a copy o I his report forwarded to this depart ment. . ) That the long hairs on the flanks and tall be clipped and kept short at Lall times. . That clean, special suits be pro vided for all the attendants engaged in the, production and) handling of milk.. ; ; ; . That the milk at all times be strained at the milk house, and in an atmosphere free from dust or odors. That the milk pails used be of the small-mouthed design, so constructed that they can be readily and thor oughly cleaned, and top opening not to exceed eight inches in diameter. - , That racks be provided in some suitable place so as to expose the mils pails to the sun or to live steam. . , That .a milk -house be built and lo cated ' on elevated ground, with no hog pen within 100 feet. - The New York 1 .Health Depart ment's instruf tlons tell' the farmer, in conclusion that no milk on his prem ises will be permitted to be brought into the city of New York unless con ditions are remedied within a certain time. ft A NICE YOUNG MAN. new zz; , t m$?fjs I Bur. rYE cut 1 '(2 LEADING HOLDINGS ' INOIIj TOUST; v THEIR VALUE AT PRESENT riXICE. yt , 1a o?e;COnle - thc day's proceedings inthe hearing 0 th yUnited-States Government's suit to dissolve fh t-tlJrZ Trust, the Federal representative Beauty AttiSSS n U Frank B.

Accountants who are working un der the direction of Kellocre: have found, also that since the formation of the original combination in Ohio, In 1882, the profits of the oil monop oly have amounted to 4900,000,000. From the books of the New Jersey Standard Kellogg brought to light the present stock holdings of the oil magnates. There are in round num bers 2000, stockholders, but, a round dozen men absolutely control the or ganization with all 4ts vast, capital and earnings.. ; John D. Rockefeller heads the list with 247,692 shares, indicating that the Oil King has reduced his holdings by 9162 shares, his portion of the liquidating certificates, reported in a recent paper, was allotted to' him. The. estate of Charles H: Pratt con trols 52,582 shares, the p. M; Hark ness estate 42,000 shares, Oliver H. Payne 40,000,' Henry M.-Flagler 30, 000. ; By this list, which Is the stockhold ers record of August 17, 1907, it is shown '- that William , Rockefeller, brother of le Rol du Petroleum, as the French call John D.; owns only 11, 700, and H. H. Rogers, to the surprise Of the Street, only 16,020. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., possesses only 120 shares, and his wife 32; while H. H. Rogers, Jr., has to - his credit 1050 shares. Another great surprise la that John D. Archbold, to many , re garded as the " logical successor to John D; Rockefeller, owns only 6000 shares of the stock. I - , One surprising development of the Standard OiJ inquiry was that H. H. Rogers, who- all along' has , been classed as the third largest holder of the Oil Trust stock and C rated as an VOil King," really owns only 16,020 shares. His son, H. H. Rogers. Jr..
