PAYS FOR LOST TIME
Commissioners Decide That Employees
Are Entitled to Relief Even n
injured While Going
for Meals

The question when a fireman may
claim aid from the relief fund of the
fire department was threshcd over yes
terday at the meeting Of the board of
fire commissioners.
AS firemen are on duty twenty -four
hours a day their Injuries are invaria-
bly, sustained "ln the performance of
their duties" and this feature appealed
strongly to some of the commissioners
who participated In the discussion.
On September 26 Captain T. J. Dow
ney fell and strained llgament of the
leg. forcing his temporary confinement.
Captain Duwney put on substitute as
the regulations require. then put in a
claim for the amount of money he paid
the substitute Chief Walter Lips rec
commended that the claim be allowed.
~ am afraid we are establishing
a bad precedent" said Commissioner
not hurt in going 10 or coming from a
fire and it may pave the way to many
claims. On that account alone 1 am
opposed to paying it.
Espouses Their Cause
"T disagree said Commissioner Les

him for the time lost. We should deal
with the firemen as we do with private
"And would you pay one Of your en-
ployes hurt in going to and from work?
Yes? Well, you'll have to show me-
said Betouski, unconvinced, when Rob-
inson nodded his head in approval.
II believe that men hurt IN the dis
charge of duties should receive pay,
said Commissioner Anthony SchwamIn,
who at first refused to second the mo-
ton, but afterward, on hearing the
facts, decided to vote aye on the claim.
His vote settled It, in Downey's favor.
Chief Lips stated that 1t Is customary
in all departments to allow pay forl
men when they are hurt on duty. Such
claims as fails from street cars, for in
stance, in going to and from meals at
home are invariably allowed
II could, if the board wished, run the
with a short force when
men are hurt" said he, but it would
cripple the efficiency of the companies.
Our fund has had but few claims dur
ing this administration. We took in
about $500 and have paid out only
$780,"
A second claim from p r. Moreno
for $21 was allowed. Moreno in work
ing at an engine, struck his hand with
A hammer; an absceSs was formed and
he had to lay off.

SEASON GOOD IN ALASKA.
More Gold Taken Out Of That count.cs ::

Clinton, Nov. 10.-Captain George III.
Snyder, of Galena, reports the season
In Alaska as a very successful one
for all. He left here in May, and has
been steamboating on the Tanana riv-
er. in Alaska. having just returned
from there. He has enjoyed prosper
ity and good health and will return to
the north country in the spring. Bus
mess has been active in Alaska this
year, and he says more gold was taxi
en- out of the country Nhis season than
ever before in the history of the coun-
try. There are thousands of prospec-
tors and miners in the country and
rich discoveries are being made each
day.
Captain Snyder spent the season on
the Tanana river running between the
city of Tanana and Fairbanks. This
country has been opened up for only
about two years and the development
that has been made In that time is
surprising to those who are not famil-
lar with the circumstances. There
are thousands of tons of freight taken
up the river every month during the
open season.
