TWO ACCIDENTS AT FACTORY Two employees of the Colonial Sugar Refining Co. Ltd. were in-jured in accidents which occurred within a few minutes of each other at the company's refinery in Bate-man-street, Mosman Park, about 4 p.m. yesterday. Henry Perry (62), single, of the Smelters Camp, South Fremantle, received a possible fracture of the left leg when he was struck by a bag of sugar weighing 160lb. which fell from the top of a 15ft. stack. If Arthur Bosward (43), single, of South-terrace, Fremantle, had not happened to bend at the in-stant a bag of sugar fell from another stack he would have received the full impact of the 1601b. on his head. As it was the bag fell on the small of his back and the impact caused pos-sible fractures of bones in his foot. Both men were taken by a St. John ambulance to the Fre mantle Hospital.
