To COMPENSATE
AUTOMATICALLY
John Mitchell, Noted Labor
Leader, Talks to Shelf Men
on Timely Topic.
OUR PLAN IS ANTIQUATED
English System Provides for Employe
Without Legal Fight in Case of
Accident.

John Mitchell the noted labor lead
er and mine worker, second vice
president of the American Federation
Of Labor and at the moment con-
nected with civic work along national
lines, delivered a speech on the auto
matte compensation of injured wage
workers in this country and methods
by which they may be helped before
the Sheffield Industrial branch of the
Yale Y M. G. A. last night.
Mr.. Mitchell said that the employer
of labor could not hope to remedy
hope SO to legislate as to reduce
avoidable accidents, and also to get
away from the very Anticipated legal
system in this country which we term
the employers liability law.
He said that the $4,000 of acct
dents in this country last year could
have been diminished by one half.
and that there were $4,000 deaths
from these labor sources in this coun-
try annually which was more than
the fatalities in any one year of the
Civil War or in the eight years of
the Revolution.
Whereas in Europe there are IA
industrial deaths annually to every
1000 workers employed there are IS
per thousand in the United States.
There are eight states In the union
which are already taking the mat
ter of remedying this state of things
by appointing commissions, and in
one of them, New York, there has
already been placed on the statute
books a law compelling employers, of
extra hazardous labor to automatical-
ly compensate sufferers in conse-
Quence of Industrial injuries. If this
plan works out he believed that its
value would be made to apply to 9TH
er classes of injuries. He expects to
see this improvement extend to the
other states in question.
Under the English law, which is a
great. Improvement over our anti
quated system, he claimed an indus
trial employe injured receives one
half Nis wages automatically as long
as he lives, without even fighting for
it. If killed his widow gets three
years of his salary at half the rate of
his wages.

WHY UNCLE SAM
HASN'T RECOGNIZED
INFANT REPUBLIC
Especial from United Press,

Washington, Feb. 13-In the very
words of the complaint of Foreign
Minister Machado against the delay of
the United States in recognizing the
infant Republic Of Portugal, as given
exclusively to the United Press, the
Taft admin 'stration professed, today,
to find vindication of it's waiting poll
cy.
Convincing proof of Machado's as
sertion that the present revolutionist
government is the creation of the will
of the people and not merely the rule
of coterie of text book theorists
must be forthcom ng before recogni-
ton will be granted by the United
States," said high official of the
State Department. '"The endorsement
of the present administration by a
general election would be considered.
by the State Department, as constitut-
ing such proof
''The attitude of Secretary Knox is
simple from our viewpoint. He con-
in the people following the. deposition
of the reigning monarch, King Man
uel. Since that time there has been
no expression of it's will by the pOpu-
lar sovereignty
AS an Illustration of the United
states att tude toward Portugal, the
case of Nicaragua was pointed out as
a parallel. For more thu n a year,
diplomatic relations with Nicaragua
were interrupted, during the revolu-
tionary struggles. Though sympathiz-
ing with the revolutionary cause,
headed by General Estrada. the Uni
ted States withheld recognit on of
either the rebel or the Madriz govern
ment during the war period.
Gwen after hostilities had ceased
and Estrada had established gov
eminent President Taft granted no
recognition" said the State Depart
ment official. cit was not until a
popular assembly. chosen in open and
far elections had elected the Estra da
government, on December 81, last, that
he was recognized and his representa-
tive in WASHINGTON received as minis
ter from Nicaragua"
The charge that this government is
waiting to follow the lead of Euro
pean nations was denied. Officials re-
fuse to admit the possib lily Of any
question concerning the Panama Can
al being involved.
In the meantime, for convenience,
business with Portugal is still trans
acted through Minister Alte, appointed
during Manuel's reign. The revolu-
tion'sts' government is said to be con-
tent to retain Viscount Alte as min
ister-a policy which has saved this
government from embarrassing compli-
cations.

Washington, Feb. 13-Another coali-
ton of insurgent Republicans and

Champ Clark, Speaker-elect, sounded
