~ Charcoal Pots Are Killers

Because of recent accidents,
the Workmen’s Compensation
Board has isued the following
warning with regard to the use
of Charcoal Pots and Sala-
manders, for heating.

A case has recently come to
our attention where a workman
was rendered unconscious while

of the Workmen's Compensation
Board “Accident Prevention Reg-

or similar device shall be used
where the products of combustion
which will contaminate the air
are allowed to disperse in a closed
working-place. In such places,
this equipment shall be fitted with
a metal hood with vent-pipe of
sufficient size to effectively re-
move the contaminating elements
from the workroom.”

Will you please see that this
unsafe practice is not carried on
in your operation?

died six years ago.”

“Yes, Sir,” she replied empha-

antly, “but I bet it won’t do me
no good either.”
