NU.Vl OF THE WORKUltS
WOlNDtP IX WAR
Every country that has sent men
to the ireut must face the possi
bility oi having some returned crip
pled tiiil disabled. What to dc
with these men and how to do it
will be the gigantic problems thai
.must be faced, arid our ability tc
solve them successfully will de
yend to a great extern upon th£
amount of previous planning and
preparation. It Is not a pleasani
su> jtjet for thought; on e would
rea-fily shut his eyes to it until we
fin.' ourselves with our quota 01
criopled workers for whom there
seems little means of providing a
livelihood.
Almost a thousand members 01
the National Association of Manu
facturers, representing great in
dustries in every section of the
■couutry, have sent written expres
sion c? their desire to participate
iu • practical way in the economic
re) aWlitation of men injured in
the war.
The consensus of opinion among
manufacturers so far questioned
seems to be that the fairest way
of helping wounded men is by help
ing them to help thenulves, and
they unanimously pledge their co
op ration.
So far as the employment of dis
abled men is concerned, a safe
«enf rallzation is that occupa
tions needing strength, and endur
ance rather than skill are for the
most part closed to such workers.
The various lines of the iron and
steel industry come under this
category aud as a Pennsylvania iron
and steel company writes; "Our
op rations would afford a poor
place for the employment of
men crippled in the present war
as the work is dangerous and un
less a man is able to take care of
himself, he is at a serious disadvant
age."
Crantir.g, tien, the general de
sire of manufacturers to fulfill a
patriotic duty, what are the special
difficulties they must face? At pres
ent the greatest obstacles are:
first, the heavy risks entailed in
emx'lcyiiig disabled men under the
present compensation laws; and
secondly, the limited opportunities
for employmenut. The former ob
stacle, because it arises from ex
isting legislation, is more difficult
to overcome. Correspondents state
that they believe a crippled man
cau do certain work as efficiently as
Anyone else; but that they hesitate
to employ a man having hut one
«ye, arm, or leg, because, under
existing compensation laws, they
would be obliged to pay compensa
tion for total disability for life
were such employe to suffer the
loss of the other eye, arm or leg
while employed. Future condi
tions certainly call for some modi
Hcation of the compensation laws.
