Industrial Waste
; ; Blame Is Placed
Upon Employers
American , Engineering Coun
cil's Committee Says Respon
sibility for Enormous'Losee
; Due to Management. '
St. Louis, June '3. Responsibility
for more than SO per cent of the
waste in industrial processes which
is! causing enormous annual losses
' to the nation can ,be placed at the
door of the management and less
than 25 per cent at the door of labor,
dctlared a report of the American
engineering council's committee on
elimination of waste in industry
made public today. The committee
was appointed by ncroert noover,
secretary of commerce, when he was
nepa oi me council.
The renort showed that the mar
gih of unemployment amounted to
more than l.OW.UW men; that-pillions
of- dollars were tied up in idle
equipment; that high labor turn
over was a rough 'index" of one of
the commonest wastes, and tnat
waste of time arid energy and money
through duplications and estimates
ami bids in 'building trades ran into
- millions annually.: ,
' Both Restrict Output.
JBoth employer and employes re-
stcict output, it was said. Both cap
ital and labor are blamed tor exist
ing abuses, but the annual losses
through waste by conriicts Detwcen
them is much less than popularly
supposed. ,
From 4.000.000 to 5,000.000 work
erg were idle during January and
February of this year. In lyJl Saw,.
000,000 will be lost in wages in the
- building trades, it , was said.
' jXation wide.:' machinery -to obtain
continuous information concerning
unemployment conditions through
out the country is declared necessary
bv the report. Means for regulating
. employment in 111c principal minis
tries were urged and a nation wide
plan of co-operation between the
government, the public, trade asso
ciations; the industries, labor bankers
arM engineers. was outiineq.,
This was til beginning of a move
mcnt. by the country's -.organized
eugineers, about 200,000 in number,
to) bring about better industrial con
ditions and more harmonious rela
tions between capital and labor.
After .emphasising the need of re
form and . improvement m plant
management and administrative poli
cies, the report urged 'hc co-operation
of labor. '"'' '
f Organized labor should develop a
tdliev for increasing output," it was
"stated. "The attitude of opposition or
indifference W proper standards for
. production should be. changed to a
frflnk and aggressive insistence on
such standards;" fv-.V ;vJ '
Declaring that the annual economic
loss in the countrj' through prevent-
ahf e i diseasand death amounted to
' $5)00,000,050,, the report Urged a more
general use of .safety methods, al
ready perfected. It was. asserted that
7$ per cent of the deaths and serious
accidents in industry !could be thus
prevented. '-eisi r
r An retard to the number of days
lost, the report said 4.tXKJ,ow per
sons' lost 350,000,000 days from ill
ness and disease and non-industrial
accidents annually.

Omaha, 'chairman of '-. the housing
committee for the first reunion of

gressman Jefferis that the War de

short periods to organizations of ex
soldiers, but that no provision had
been, made for the loan; of cots or

Aurora to Cause
Much Sunshine,
Lodge Predicts
.Recent Electrical Disturbance
May Result ' in ; Increased
Quota of Sunlight, ,De
'' dares Scientist.
London," June -3. Recent solar
eruptions which caused brilliant an-'
roras and disorganized v cable and
telegraph, service throughout the
world may result in the earth re
ceiving an' increased quota of sun
shine during the remainder of the
year, says sir Oliver Lodge, the
noted scientist.
He declares it is probable that the
monsoon will be ' strengthened and
that in consequence the Indian har
vest will be improved. He even
ventures the opinion that the elec
trified particles thrown off by . the
sun during the disturbance may as
sist in the development of vegetation
and reduce the amount of dust held
suspended in the atmosphere.
Sir Oliver says the magnetic dis
turbances that attended solar
eruption were due to a torrent of
electrified particles which consti
tuted a gigantic electrical current.
This opinion is also held by Camille
Flammarion, the veteran French as
tronomer, who has expressed sur
prise at a storm of such unusual vio
lence occurring at this time. M.
Flammarion has pointed out that the
sun i now at a period of diminish
ing activity, the eruptions on the
surface of the luminary recurring at
intervals of It years.
Apples grown in the Pacific north
west have been exported to every
continent, including Australia.
Youth Tried for

Jury in Indiana Case of Boy,
11, Charged With Murder,
Fails to Agree After
Long Deliberation.
JCnox, Ind,r June 3. The jury
trying the case of Cecil Burkett, 11,
charged with the murder of Benny
Slavin, 7, was discharged by Judge
Penticos.t in circuit court here today j
when it failed to reach an agree
ment. The case went to the jury at
3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The jury had been out 18 hours.
No information concerning; the num
ber of ballots taken or whether the!
prosecution would order a new trial
was divulged. The boy remained at
liberty on bond.
The little Burkett boy smiled
when the jury was discharged, but
apparently did not realize just what
it meant. He had maintained
throughout his trial which began
last .Tuesday that he did not shoot
the Slavin boy, at. Ora, Ind, last
1 hanksgiving day, and that the rifle,
which had been leaning against a
post, must have been accidentally
discharged.
The case was the first in Indiana
in which so young a defendant was
tried on a murder charge. Most of
the witnesses were children ranging
from 7 to 11 years old.
