Massachusetts Has Three Schemes for
 Compensation Act

Boston, May 24-Three separate and distinct plans for compensating work ing men for injuries received in the course of their employment were re- ported to the Legislature today by the special commission, appointed by Gov. Draper last summer, and which since that time has been devoting it's time to this question. One bill is per- missive in it's nature and does not re- quire any employer of labor to come within provisions but inasmuch as the bill provides that in case of an in- jury to an employe the employer may not escape liability as he now does in many cases, it is believed by the commissioners reporting it, that ev- cry employer will find it to his ad- vantage to join in the plan.
 Another bill is compulsory in it's nature, and requires each employer to pay compensation to every injured em- ploye. except that he may escape lia- bility by insuring in some company permitted to do business in Massa- chusetts.
 The third bill is compulsory but diff fers from the others in that it re- quires both the employer and the em- ployee to contribute to the fund from which accident claims to be paid.

New Haven Nit By Bridgepon's
 Liquor Decision
(New Haven Journal Courier.)

CNew Haven Journal Courier)
 Perhaps no city in the state will bt affected more by the interpretation placed upon the law in a liquor de- cision regarding clubs made by Judge Foster of the Bridgeport city court yesterday than New Haven, provided that interpretation is adhered to and the bill which has been favorably re- ported permitting the issuance of H censes for Sunday sales in clubs is defeated in the legislature, which vii shortly take action upon it. Judge Foster, in brief, decided that clubs had no more right to sell liquor on Sun. day than had an individual. no mat ter how they may be organized o1 whether they confined their selling tc members in good standing and ex- cluded non-members. In accordance with this decision he imposed fines or five proprietors and forty-eight ire quenters, who were before him as the result Of Sunday and Saturday raids in that city. Appeals have been ta- ken in the cases so that higher court will have chance to decide on the interpretation of the law.
 Following Judge Fosters views of the law none of the big social clubs of the city, of which there are several lowed to sell to their own members any liquors on the Sabbath day with out violating the law. If this view is adhered to 1t may mean the knock ing out of the bill which Representa- tive Bent of Bridgeport has placed be- fore the legislature which was drawn originally to allow the social organ izations throughout the cities espec- ially, which did not have the stand ing of the big clubs and which did not have big buildings of their own, and therefore the recognition of perma- nent clubs, an opportunity to give their members the same privileges that it is claimed those of the big clubs enjoy. If it is held that none of the clubs has the right to dispense liquor Sundays it would follow that there are no privileges enjoyed under the law by the big clubs which the other or ganiZations can secure.
 A great deal of the trouble which the local police have had in the mat ter of Sunday selling has been with so-called clubs which have claimed they were selling to their own mem- bers, and have based their defense on a claim they had right to do so, as we'll as other clubs In this city a large number of the Sunday liquor raids in which any number of indi- viduals have been found involved have been on places other than sa- looms where it was claimed there was @ club, and the rooms raided were the rooms of the club. The Bent bill would legalize the sale of liquor in such places under certain conditions. of which the most important is the securing of a club license, for which a fee of S100 is to be required. In such cases places having such a H. cense would show they were bonaf1de organizations of this character, and others would not be able to make this defense.
 While none of the regular clubs were included in the Bridgeport raids it is said this decision undoubtedly covers them, and so brings forth an inter- esting situation.
