COMPENSATION AND ACCIDENTS.

Whin the Workmen's Compensation Act was being discussed inside and outside of the House of Commons, the argument was more than once advanced in the columes of Fairplay that the operation of such a law would infallibly lead to an increase in the number of non-fatal accidents Human nature being what it is, such result was inevitable. Under the old law of Employers' Liability, the workman who chanced, let us say, to jam his thumb while engaged in his every day employment stid not figure as an accident from the Board of Trade Insend, he got his thumb band- point of view. aged, was probably given a lighter job for a few days, and said no more about it. Now, however, it is to his advantage to make the most of his

ab

little mishap. He finds tassation Act, makes work, because the Compensation Act.makes his inability profitable; and he finds, also, that a little holiday at his employer's expense is not at all unpleasant. So his case becomes "accident." is duly reported to the Board, and figures in the official retums, with the result that any innocent outside, comparing the casualy. list of today with that of pre-Compensation times, would be driven to infer that the "butcher's bill of industrial England, is in creasing with horrible rapidity.

For it has happened just as was predicted. The fatal acciden's remain almost stationary-- except in China, a man does not usually expose himself to the risk of death for the sake of securing compensalon. But the non-fatal a cidents went up with a bound so soon as the Act became operative, and have continued to show an annual increase ever since. In 1896 the total number of fatal accidents 4,151. A year later the number was 4,30, and, after drop ping to 3,998 in 1898, it rose to 4.458 in 185 and, according to the Board of Trade repert which has just been issued, to 4,813 last year, There is thus a difference of less than 700 be: tween 1896 and 1900, and, when the exceptional "boom" in trade is taken account, that difference is almost infirmal practical purposes, theref set annual death roll remains very nearly stationary. With the non-fatal accidents, however, the case is altogether different, The grand total of accidents reported in 1896 was 57,472. Then the Factory and Workshops Act of 1895 got to work, and, with 'more stringent regulations as to notification, and more rigid inspection of factories, the total increased in 1807 to 63,995 an increase of a little over six thousand. The Workmen Compensation Act, passed in 1897, did not come into operation until July, 1898. That year, therefore, was only affected by the Act for six of its twelve months; but, brief as was the period of its activity, the Act worked a marvellous change accidents for 1898 was no less than 79,869 Freeting, Lady increase of nearly sixteen thousand over the record for 1897 So it has gone on since. The figures for 1809 ate even more striking. The Act had got in a full twelve months' work, and the result was a total of 96,248~another sixteen. thousand increase, with a little to spare. Last year the growth was not quite an startlingly rapid. The grand total reached 104,358-only a matter of eight thousand more than that of the previous year, but nearly twice the total of 1895.

Does anybody helieve that this increase in the number of accidents is purely natutat? The question, of course, is absurd; but the only alternative is that it is artificial-that it is pra duced by the Compensation Act, and that it is, therefore, more or less a fraud upon the em ployers, Further proof of this-if any further proof is needed-is fumished by study of that portion of the report which deals with accidenis to railway servants. The total number of non-Harvey, P. L. fatal accidents to employees of Railway, Com-Hall, H. M. panies in 1896 was 13,990. In 1897 it was Harris, A. C. 14,284; in 1898; 12,856; in 1899, 15,391: while last year it was 13,806. In other words, the total accidents to railway servants remain almost stationary-the difference between 1895 and 1900, 10 take the two extremes, being less than two thousand. Why is this so? Well, the chief reason is simply that most of the Railway Companies have made an arrange- ment with their employees whereby the lat ter have "contracted out" of the Act. Then take the shipping industry, which, happily, is excluded from the operations of the Act In 1896 the non-fatal accidents numbered 2,258; and 1897, 2,643; in 1898, 3,722; in Hinderkoper, J. 1899, 1775; and last year, 2,472. Practically Ingold, F. stationary in this case also. The moral Jantzies, K. is sufficiently obvious, The Compensation Jones, Dr. Act has, apparently, increased the number of Jones, c/o Councel, accidents, and has added another burden to the load which the British employer of labour has to bear. In the direction of the prevention of accidents-the direction, that is to say in which lie the best interests of both employers and employed-it has not only done nothing, but has even, it is probable, increased the natural recklessness of a certain sort of work- man, who now feels that he can afford to be careless-within bounds-Fairplay.

WARY GEESE.

Where the wil geese feed, writes "Rusticus," in To-Day, they leave the snow stamped in avery direction with bread-arrow footmarks leading from clump to clump of rye grass in meandering lines, and each clump on the side free from now is left thorn close as with a Kcythe. Having thus helped themselves to as much of the farmer's green fodder as would have fed a herd of horses, they stand about sociably in groups and companies, asch bird remaining on the same spot evidently for hours. Part of this time they employ in making their toilet, for the place is littered with the small feathers which they have discarded; and after that no doubt most of them sleep. But though they come here every winter, I have never met A person who has found a wild goose asleep. Nature knows better than to allow so large and edible a bird to leave its body about without a mind to take care of it. So the old ganders see to it that not so much as the tip of a buman nose can break their skyline without instant alarm being given.
