The meet- Ing has been characterized by vari- ous gatherings held in Natural Science auditorium by the different depart- ments of labor. Last night at the Union a banquet was held under the auspices of the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce, for the congress. The 'banquet which was attended by about 400 delegates, some with their wives, represented a gathering of ien from all the fields of indus- try in the state of Michigan. Col. John G. Emery, past national com- mander of the American Legion, of Grand Rapids, was the presiding of- ficer. Addresses were given by Gov- ernor Fred W. Green, Eugene J. Block and Chas. E. Hill. Charles E Hill, vice president of the national safety council and gene- ral safety agent of the New York Central railway gave then opening ad- dress. Mr. Hill drew a sharp com- parison between railway accidents and those of other industries. He com- pared the casuaties derived from auto accidents and those from railways. The fact that the American people as a whole were careless was the chief fault to be found as the result of the great number of acidents occur- Ing in the United States every day. Mr. Hill gave some astounding figu- res in regard to the accident rate in the United States._ He stated that here today there are twenty timesas many deaths due to accident than there were per day- during the war.. The automobile has brought the prob- lem of accident to this point and if the ratio of autos is kept in propor- tion the death rate in one more decade will increase to 310,000,000 each year. Mr. Hill acclaimed. There are several ways and means to assist in accident prevention the speaker said, through education, en- forcement of laws, cooperation. Sicentific study of accidents, there cause, to establish in the people a sense of responsibility were also named. Mr. Hill asserted that the .automobile driVers Were not com- petent, and compared them with the engineers of the many locomotives operated in the country. He said, "The engineers are examined for mentali- ty and ability before being allowed to operate an engine while anyone who can afford it drives an automobile." Be suggested that uniform laws should be set up, that schools should estab- lish courses in safety regulations and possible cooperation such as the rail- roads have between employees might be reached in the American people as a whole. Mr. Eugene J. Block, chairman of the State Commission of Labor and In- dustry spoke on, "What Price Prog- ress." He outlined the industry of the middle ages and compared it with that of modern times. "This great ad- vance of industry has brought about the need of safety devices, and acci-- dent prevention must be applied both biologically and psychologically," Mr. Brock asserted. Mr. Brock closed by pledging the aid of the commission of which he is chairman, to the cause of the safety council., Governor Fred W. Green honored the meeting with his presence and an ad- dress in which he enthusiastically1 praised the council for its great work.1 ]le stated that .the people of Michi- gan as a whole were interested and1 hoped for the success of the move- ment. Gov. Green said, "The maxi- muum opportunity for men and women to prosper was the'aim of the govern- ment of Michigan." The Governor expressed his pleasure in seeing the Min of the various industries work- ENROLLMENT FOR SUMMER SESSION STILL INCREASING At the close of registration yester- day 431 more students had enrolled for summer work than had registered for the same period last year, accord- ing to figures released from the office of Dean Edward H. Kraus, head of the Summer session. The total for this year is 3,500, 1,340 of these are women. The Grad- uate school has an enr.ollment of 920 and it is expected that more than 1,000 will be registered before the end of the week. The literary college is still in first place with 1,159 reg- istered. The total for last year was only 3,322, which mark has already been passed this year and it is expected that the total for this year will run well over 3,600. It may even reach the 4,000 mark. SPECIAL PRGRM OF PUBIC EALH.ADDED Week End Institute Is Experiment for Benefit of Social Workers of Michigan and Ohio SUNDWALL IS IN CHARGE As a special acquisition to its regu- lar summer session the University has this year added the Program of Spe- cial Public Health Institutes. These meetings will take place every Friday and Saturday, starting tomorrow, un- til the close of the summer session. The week end institute is in the nature of an experiment, and is in- tended primarily for the benefit of public health workers from the towns of Michigan and northern Ohio who find it impossible to attend the regular Sundwall, Director of the Division of summer courses in this field. Dr. Hygiene,- Public Health and Physical Education, who is in charge of the Institutes, pointed out that there were many officials held by duty in their respective localities for a great part of the year, but who could easily man- age to attend several of the meetings. It is expected that there will be an attendence of at least fifty at each meeting. Because of the fact that this is the first time anything of this kind has been attempted, the enroll- jnent will undoubtedly be smaller than in the future, for there is no doubt of its feasibility. Due to the great experiment involv- ed in the Institutes, its action and re- sults will be watched with great in- terest by others and particularly by the United State Department of Health, Dr. Sundwal stated. Below is a schedule of activities for this week end: Friday, July 1 9 A. M.--General Hygiene-Profes- sor Sundwall; 10 A. M.-Public Health Nursing-Miss Emily Sargent; 11 A.
