Flags of the Navy Aloom in Brooklyn Yard and Beyond
Kansas City Star describes naval flag production at the Brooklyn navy yard. About 500 ensigns per vessel are stocked, with ships outfitted through a meticulous flag locker system. The navy spends roughly $125,000 yearly on flags and related gear, including foreign flags and commissions. The largest ensign No 1 measures 86 by 19 feet and costs 40 dollars, while the president and vice president flags are among the most elaborate. The flag work involves many workers, long rolls of bunting, and rigorous testing before approval. The commission pennant, hoisted when a ship is commissioned, remains until decommissioning and is crew funded.

Disaster Relief and the 1913 Cincinnati Mine Explosion
An early 20th century examination of industrial accidents and compensation argues that disaster relief can be treated as part of operating costs.
