"I feel that I would fail in an ob vious duty, as chairman of the Penn¬ sylvania League of Women Voters which includes members of all par¬ ties, if. in these times and in these unprecedented political circumstan CKS, I did not direct attention to the supreme importance ot the ap¬ proaching primaries. If ever there was a time when every thinking, in¬ dependent man and woman voter in Pennsylvania should be registered aud tully qualified to vote in the par¬ ty primaries, this is the time.
For Pennsylvania is about to enter on a new, an entirely new political era. The result of the May primar¬ ies will determine, to a large extent, the leadership of both the Republi¬ can aud Democratic parties. The groat and ruling problem which ii'ust be solved is to see to it that this leadership Is alert, progressive, honest, sincere and wholly dsvoted to the welfare of the people and the stpte.
This leadership cannot be had by sitting idly by while machine bosses set np slates and fix up things in their own interest. It can only be had by registering and then voting in accordance with conviction. .\nd further it can only be had by the great army of independent men aud women working together harmoui- ously for the common eud—the se¬ curing of a thotonghly representa- tiVQ leadership.
By reason of certain important changes in the Republican state or- gunization, tor example, the leader¬ ship in that organization is at stake. Shall it be controlled by sinister and scllish influences'.' Shall it be con¬ trolled by elements which will seek also to have a hand in the control of tho Democratic party, organization'.' Wo should not blind ourselves to the fact that reactionary bosses will strive to settle these political ques¬ tions to their own satisfaction and profit. They know, it once they can get their hands on the two party or¬ ganizations, that it will take a long time to loosen their grip. .\nd they aro at work!
If it is profitable for bi-partisan bosses to try to get control of one or the other party organizations, will it uot be moro profitable for the people directly to control their own par- tits?
Thera is only om- answer to these iini'stions. Indi-pi'tident men and women voters ninst vote this year to their fullest strength. They can, by so doing, make certain that the party machinery w-ill be In proper hands and that Ihe right kind of candidates aro nominated. .\nd it they do this, ilii-y will insure that Pennsylvania tor years to como will bo saved trom till' present di signs of selfish, sinis¬ ter and reactionary Infiuences.
.\s the jioliticians say: ".\ new deal is In the making." They would like to make this new deal, so-called, wiihout taking the whole people Into rfheir confidence, or In fact, giving them any kind ot recognition. It is up to tho people of Ponnsylvanla, at tlii> coming primaries, to smash this deal at its very inception. Only hy snch action, can it bu said that Penn¬ sylvania's men and women are doing their fnll duty as citizens and trus¬ tees of the Commonwealth.
Just refiect for n moment on the Important questions which will come up In tho primaries! Two Cnlted Stales Senators, a Oovornor, Lieu¬ tenant Governor, Secretary ot In¬ ternal Affairs, the whole membership of thP Slato House, one-half ot tho membership ot the State Senate and a Congressman from every district, are to he nominated.

Definite steps to remove the eye hazard, which is increasing at an alarming rate in industry, will be taken during the coming year, ac¬ cording to plans ot Commissioner Clifford B. Connelley ot the Depart¬ ment of Labor and Industry.
After more than two years' study of conditions causing jeye losses, the Industrial Board has completed re¬ vision of safety standards governing h3ad and eye protecticn. The Head and Eye Code, was completed and adopted by the Board last July after one year of public hearings and revi¬ sion and is now printed for distribu¬ tion. The Division ot Hygiene and Engineering performed an exhaus¬ tive investigation and prepared re¬ commendation* which it submitted to the Board in July 1920 on the eye hazard.
Seven separate occupations are enumerated in the new code where protectors  are required.     They are:
1. Oxy-acetylene and other Com¬ pressed Gas Welding and Burning.
2. Chipping.
3. Electric .Kve Welding.
4. Grinding-Wheel Dressing and Rougli Emery.
5. Iron Tapping at Cupola. , I'l.  Sand and Shot Blasting.
7.. Thermit Welding. The Board will act upon a recom¬ mendation of the Division of Hy¬ giene and K:ngineering for another occupation requiring a hood and goggles, .-\fter investigation, it w-as learned that in the use of cement guns in the building industry there w-as a marked hazard.
Goggles, masks, helmets, hoods, and shields are recommended as pro¬ tectors for certain lines of work. In every one ot the mandatory occupa¬ tions goggles are required with the, exception of sand and shot blasting in this case a hood  is required.
Recognition of the element of neg¬ ligence in the enforcement of this cnde has resulted in the injection of strong language for Ihe purpose of bringing home to workers and em¬ ployers, as well, the danger in eye accidents. The fact that eye cases numher more than all other perma¬ nent Injuries put together tor whicii compensation is paid brings home a lesson to the responsible parties, the Commissioner emphasized. -Another lesson, which confronts the workers iuirtii-ularly.> is founil in the fact that eye losses are permanent In the sense that such cases almost pre¬ clude rehabilitation in any form.
.\ worker who loses a hand or a foot may be trained In some gainful occupation where his loss is not sub¬ stantially felt, but a man who loses one or both eyes stands less chance of getting back as a producer. The employer will realize what it means when one of his emjiloyes loses an eye through having failed to take the necessary precautions wheu he knows that $1,005,414 was awarded last year for 67 7 eye losses, while $1,275,487 in compensation -was awarded for 64S leg. arm. hand, and foot losses combined.
Compensation is also required now under an .Vet jiassed at the lust session of the Legislature lor facial disfigurement. This hazard would be minimized by compliance with tho new head and eye protection code. Tho first case coming under this pro¬ vision of the Compensation Law was disposed of in an award of $600 for tho loss ot an ear.
The code sets forth employers' and employes' responsibility in cirrying out Its provisions. Every employer "or person exercising direction or control over any person or persons who remove nny safeguard or aatety appliance or device, or over any per¬ son or persons tor whoso protection it Is designed shal! have such s<»te- satety appllsaM or device si (Continued on Page Four.)
