WISHES To MAKE SCHEDULE
To FIX INJURY DAMAGES

A thorough system of compensation
for workmen who are victims of in
dustrial accidents will be embodied in
in a bill which will be presented to
the next Legislature by the Indiana
council of the National Civic Fedora
tion, probably in conjunction with the
Indiana Bar association. If the bill
passes, the price of mans life will
be fixed as definitely as the price of
a postage stamp.
E. B. Sellers of Monticello, chair
man of the Indiana council. Daniel
Sims, an attorney of Lafayette, and
John T. Dye, attorney of Indian
apolis, form a committee which is now
drafting this bill. Before it is finally
adopted a conference will be held with
the corresponding committee of the
bar association of which Daniel Sims
and John T. Dye are also members. The
two bodies are working along diver
gent lines at present, but hope to get
together in solid support of one strong
bill before time for presenting it.
The civic federation council favors
q plan of automatic compensation of
workmen which involves alterna-
tive featrues, such as the privilege of
fling suits in case the regular COM

1t is the idea of Mr.. Sellers to estab-

jurisdiction over these cases. to decide

compensation code will apply in the
case of each individual who is hurt

The Indiana Bar associations pres
ent idea is along the line OF the New
York law In that state the workman
of his family may accept the fixed
schedule of compensation, or II dis
satisfied, may bring suit in the hope of
recovering more damages, this being
known as the alternative feature.
Indiana manufacturers are said to be
heartily in favor of workmen's COM

per cent of the amounts awarded by
courts under the present system never
reaches the people who should be the

/ There are constitutional questions
which will have to be settled before
the bill could go into effect One is
that every man has the inalienable
right to sue to protect his rights. An
other is the question of trial by jury
which would probably not be counted
on the compensation system.

UNTITLED STEEL ORDERS
DECREASE At THE MILLS

While thankful for the increased in
formation already vouchsafed, it may
not be amiss to thus suggest an ex-
tension of the corporations principle
Although the showing of the United
States Steel Corporation as far as
shrinkage in untitled orders was con-
cerned was surprisingly good 1t failed
to support the market, which closed
dull and soggy at about the bottom.
Most of the stocks were under the close
of the day before and there was no
hopefulness or elasticity in the street
1t the end of the day.
The steel figures showed that the
shrinkage In untitled orders was much
under the rate of decease per month
for the previous quarter Had the same
rate been maintained as in the quarter
ending June 80 the loss for July
would have been 3S1,573 tons instead OF
2s6,s63-a difference of 100000 tons fol-
the month in round figures. The figures
were we'll received and steel common

WILL HAVE HIGH
CLASS STORE THERE

Towle's store is berg ripped up and
torn out until the place is hardly recog-
nizable. In addition to changing the
front the partitions on the second
floor are being taken out so that it
may be utilized for store purposes.
1t is understood that the proprie-
tors OF the ne wstore, which will oc-
cupy the old Ruhstadt stand, will ca
ter to the very best trade in the Calu-
met region.
The idea will be to deal in a quail
ity of ladies' tailor made suits and in a
quality of stock that will make trad
ing in Chicago unnecessary.
In fact. 1t is said that the people of
Hammond have no idea of the high
class of the store that is to occupy
the Towle block. The work of remod-
cling the building is going forward
very rapidly and it is expected that
the store viii be open for business in
about a month.
