CASUALTIES OF PEACE
APPALLINC BRITISH TOTAL INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS I United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) I (Australian Press Association) GENEVA, Friday. The High Commissioner for Australia, ~* r Granville Ryrie, made his debut at the International Labour Conference in a speech on industrial accidents. He remarked that there were 1.700,000 men in Britain who were wounded in the war, while in the first five years after the war the industrial casualties numbered 2,400,000. This appallingtoll was remediable only by scientific prevention. Probably much of it was due to the failure of the human element, because nowadays almost as much was spent on machine guards as on perfecting- the machine itself. The conference has begun a discust sion on a world-wide “safety first” campaign of co-operation between the employers and the employees.
