As two plaat* had pertect records during XAtt, each will receive a trophy.
Although complete flgurea or* not yet available, preliminary data indicate tbat fewer accldeata O*- currcd in cement mills in ItSt than In 192.5. which was th* baa- ner year, up to that time. "Ia Oe¬ tober of 1925. 253 timelost aocl- dents and nine fatalities were reg¬ istered among the 40,000 WOTh* men In cement mills," latll Mr. Kinney "In the same montb of 192?. there were three fatalHie* and 14:i time-lost accidents. Tbl* ;„ i; remarkable  record, sii

"The safety-flrst work ot th* Portland Cement Aasociatioa ala«* 1920 has reduced the nambar at cement mill accidents 50 per eaat, although industrisl aeetdeat* ha** Inc-ressed In genersl durloc thi* period.

"This work was begun tor tbe beneflt of their employes, but tbay soon found It to be a good dollara- and-cents Inveetment. since It im¬ proved manufacturing personoel, reduced delays, and cut down ae- cident compensation."
This is the second consecutiee year in which two plants have been awarded trophies. The Port Colborne plant of the Canada Portland Cement Company each went through the entire year of 1!«2.'> and fhrough the flrst half af 1926 without a single time-loot accident
