The author based this study of the social effects of industrial accidents upon analysis of 47 family records, selected from the files of the Charity Organization Society, and the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor. Information scheduled from these case histories was checked in follow-up interviews, and a comparison made with the findings in earlier, more general statistical studies. )
