Some of the Turkish troops taken

In the city are desperate. The pop

starvation, and II is thought the Turk

exorbitant prices, and the supplies
even o. these commodities are now

Solicitors Statement.
In this connection be SAYS:

In this connection he says:
1.-THE prompt payment OF compensa-
ton at time when the breadwinner
is stricken and money is most needed,
without forcing the claimant to pur-
sue an elaborate, expensive and dila-
tory process of proof, is one OF the
striking benefits of the act Being In
its nature remedial statute, it is
rightly susceptible of a liberal inter
probation, as contrasted with a strict
Interpretation. in order to bring home
the benefits intended. Such has been
the Interpretation regularly applied by
the secretary of commerce and labor
without, of course, disregarding any
of the limitations of the statute or ex-
tending it beyond its term"
In speaking further of the nature
ana benefits of the act the solicitor
states that it marks a distinct step in
advance and substitutes an enlightened
modern view for certain obsolete doc
trines of the common law since it not
only gives a remedy where none ex-
listed before, but it valves the right OF
lne government 10 exemption from ia
'bility and dispenses with the necessity
of appeals to congress in individual
cases,
The solicitor notes that more than
1900 accidents We're reported under
the act during the first three years of
its operation, whereas only about 5000
claims We're filed, due to the limited
scope of the law, and strongly urges
this as an indication of the need of ex-
tending the benefits of the act by sup
Elementary legislation. Such legisla-
ton, in fact. has been recommended
by the secretary of commerce and Ia
Dor, and measures designed to enlarge
the scope of the act are now pending
in congress.

How Statute Applies.

The present statute applies only to
artisans or laborers employed in GER
tain specified branches of the public
service or in certain hazardous occu-
pations under the government. Any
workman covered by the act who is in
jured In the course of his employment
is entitled to receive for one year there
after, unless sooner able TO resume
work. the same pay as If he continued
to be employed, except where the in
jury was due to his own negligence or
misconduct If the injury results in
death during the year the compensa-
ton allowed is payable to the widow
or children or dependent parent.
Mr. Earl emphasizes that feature OF
the act which permits of the establish
ment of a simple and direct mode OF
procedure, whereby the technicalities
and delays are avoided and the relief
provided can speedily be given, and the
further feature whereby the govern
ment is forbidden to exempt itself
from liability by any contract, agree
ment, rule or regulation.
