BUTLER WILL OPPOSE
SOLID THREE MEMBER
Good Government Champion
Writes He viii Be Contestant
for Supervisors Office

From far away Amsterdam, where
Sidney A. Butler of Los Angeles, q
prominent member Of the Lincoln
Roosevelt league and a leader in the
local Good Government movement. so
iourned for a few days last month on
his trip around the world, came a
letter Yesterday stating his willing
ness to run for the office of super
visor from the third district against
S. r. Eldridge, one of the "soltd three,
who has announced that nominating
petitions will not weigh a feather
weight against his will"
Mr.. Buffers letter speaks for itself.
1t is addressed to Meyer Lissner and
reads:
SHERIDAN. March 22.-Your sugges-
tion that place myself before the peo-
ple of Los Angeles for the position Of
supervisor in Eldridge's place has I'M
pressed me somewhat faVorably, not on
account of my desire for the office, but
that I might serve the community in
which I live and whose people have az
all times treated me kindly and with
consideration.
"T have never sought any public Of
flee and will not at this time, but II
the people express a desire and 1 may
know that q large number Of them DO
desire that / make a run, l VIII give
my consent to make it.
1T read in the paper that such men
as Judge Works and w. j. Washburn
are serving the city as members OF the
council, and surely when busy men
like these and others do this, why
should or any citizen hesitate to per
form his part as a loyal man should
do? .,.,- .;,,,o

of much assistance to the good roads
movement. with. from all / an hear

FRANCE DEEPLY INTERESTED
IN ACTION OF THE VATICAN

PARIS, April 4.-Nowhere in Europe
has the failure of the pope to grant
an audience to Mr.. Roosevelt created
greater intrest than in France, and it
is expected to prove strong card for
the government in the coming elections
as supporting the contention of NJ.
BRAND, the premier, that the recent
agitation of the French episcopate
was inspired by the present itran-
sigent and intolerant attitude of the
Vatican.
The Temps. in its accounts Of the in
cident. recalls a conversation which a
representative of that paper had with
Mr.. Roosevelt a day or two ago, in
which, evidently, thinking Of the af-
fair, Mr.. Roosevelt eXtolled religious
tolerance, pointing out how, in Ameri-
ca. his friends included ministers of
all denominations.

time in returning to Los Angeles attef
his arrival at New York.
While abroad Mr.. Butler has peeh
deluged with letters from many prom
fnent citizens urging him to become q
candidate for supervisor.
MIR. Butler has resided in Los An
geles for many years. He came mere
from Nebraska, and until 1908 was con-
nected with the Wells-Fargo Express
company. He early became a member
Of the Lincoln Roosevelt league and
has been actively identified in the work
of purifying municipal administrative
affairs and politics.
In 1908 Mr.. Butler served as county
chairman of the acknowledgements
league. He also was chairman of the
Good Roads association of Los An
reles county, and was a prime mover
in securing the $35O0,O00 bonds for
boulevards in Los Angeles county,

FORMER METHODIST LEADER
IN ROME GIVES OUT DENIAL

PITTSBURG, April 4-The Rev.
Frederick II. Wright, who was pastor
Of the American Methodist church in
Rome from 1900 to 1906, as superintend-
ent of mission work in Southern Italy
for several years, said tonight that the
attitude Of Methodist missions in Italy
had never been combatant to Catholi-
cisn.
"The statement credited to Archbish-
on ireland today, that the Methodist
propaganda in Rome is vile, calumnious
in its assaults on the Catholic faith and
dishonest in its methods to win prose-
lytes, is too general to warrant de-
fense But let there be a specific IN
stance Of such practices"

ly welcomed the proposition made by
certain societies that he should insure
against strikes. During the last three
years many strike insurance compa-
MES have sprung up In different parts
of the fatherland, and they embrace
practically all industries. In thirteen
of these societies are insured manu-
facturers employing altogether about
100000 men.
In addition, there are some twenty
six employers unions, which have Il
regular system Of strike insurance,
paying compensation at fixed rates,
and yet nine more unions which pay
compensation according to the merits
Of the case, but without a fixed rate.
The tendency in some quarters is to
regard this development as merely a
new weapon in class warfare, says the
strike funds of trades unions, but 1t
is more generally admitted that 1t is
really In the interest of employed as
well as employers that industrial un-
dertakings should be secured against
unexpected losses from strikes as from
other contingencies, and the fact that
strike insurance societies do not pay
compensation where the employers
have been guilty of forcing on q strike
unjustly prevents the institution be-
ing abused by provocative minded en-
ployers.
Indeed, the employer must establish
the fact that he is not responsible for
the strike or lockout. The rules of the
various societies differ somewhat.
Some pay compensation from the day
of the outbreak of the strike, others
from the day it is first formally re-
ported to them, others only after 1t
has lasted week. The length of the
strike also comes into account. Some
societies do not pay any compensa-
ton for a strike Of less than four
days duration; others consider that
strike is no strike until it has lasted
a fortnight. A further regulation Is
laid upon the maximum length of the
strikes, the biggest societies refusing
to pay compensation for more than
three months stoppage of work, while
a general strike. they hold, releases
them from all obligations.

TO WORKERS,
Liability Insurance Now Being
Wasted.
ToILER GETS NO BENEFIT.

United States Far Behind Europe In
Caring For Observation-Disclosures Of
the English System-John Mitchell
States Some Facts.
In recent address in New York
John Mitchell, former president of
the United Mine Workers, spoke as
follows concerning compensation for
injured workers.
We can hardly bring ourselves to
believe it is possible that We are kill
ing and manning more workmen in
the United States than would be killed
and manned if Great Britain and the
United States were constantly at war
with each other. 1t seems to me there
is something wrong and that we must
take some steps not only to prevent
this excessive casualty rate, but to
adequately provide for the victims or
industrial accidents.
l am thoroughly convinced that we
must change the whole principle OF
responsibility for industrial accidents.
We are wasting so per cent of the
money now paid by employers. That
amount is being wasted in administra.
ton, In solicitation and in litigation,
and the workman who is injured OF
the dependents of the workman who
has been killed receive but 20 or %
per cent of the money now paid by
the employers for protection against
suits for damages.
believe In the English system and
have made somewhat of a study OF
both the English and German sys'
TENS. | think the English system OF
compensation would be most practlca
BILE in our country. In Germany they
have developed the most comprehen
sive system of workmen's insurance
and compensation that is known In the
world. And let me say In that connec
ton to those who desire to learn the
effect of new system upon the In
dustries Of the state that 1t is. OF
course. right that the people should
examine carefully what the effec
would be II they were to place an ad
ditiona burden upon them, and yet th'
country of Europe having the mos
comprehensive and extensive system
of industrial insurance and workmen'i
compensation. Germany. is beyond al
doubt the most prosperous country OF
the continent.
Whether It be because of the sys
fem of insurance and compensation o
In spite of it. the rise OF the CONNER
cial greatness of Germany was coin

system of compensation.

pay three years wages TO the de
pendents of every coal miner who is
killed it would cost $1,000, which Is
almost double the rate which is paid
i'm Great Britain, and they could pay
this 81. 500 to the dependents of every
workman killed and only use about
81 900 900 of the S6,9O0.0O0 which they
now pay annually for liability insur
ance, leaving about $3,000,000 to pay
In cases of nonfatal accidents.
When you take into consideration
the fact that in Great Britain the
average amount paid for nonfatal ac
cidents is only SPAS, you can readily
see that in America in the mining In
dustries the remaining S3,229,3Se
would leave S476,S7 to settle each case
of nonfatal accidents, whereas IN
Great Britain it only costs Spas &c
settle those claims.
l am quite convinced that in the
mining industry the amount of money
now paid to liability companies would
enable the coal operators to pay 8
higher rate for nonfatal Injuries thar
is paid under the English compensa
ton act. And they could do 1t without
expanding a cent more than they nov
paw for their liability insurance.

the injured man needs money is the
day of his funeral, but under the pres

That law prohibiting minors from
freQueting pool rooms is all right, but
it certainly does work a hardship on
proprietors. Nine boys out of ten who
get saturated with poolitis will swear
every time that they are twenty-one
and many of them appear to be that
age who are really younger. If the
parents of these boys who are under
age would take the trouble to notify
the proprietors of the real age of the
youngsters and request that they be
not allowed in the pool rooms it would
save whole lot of trouble. There are
perhaps a few pool room owners who
are willing to chance a fine in order to
get the boys money. but not all of
them.
