Mouths OF a large number Of patriots.

TO COMPENSATION BILL

Washington, April 1.-THE Souther-
land bill for employers liability and
workmen's compensation has been
approved by the senate committee
on judiciary. The bill was drafted by
the joint commission appointed by
congress few years ago to investi-
gate this subject, and it specifies the
financial compensation to be paid to
injured employees by railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce. The
compensation rates are fixed in &C
cordance with the amount Of the
physical disability resulting from the
accident, but in case of fatal accident,
according to the size Of the family.
The bill also provides for the bring
ing of suits for adjustment of COM
pensation before adjusters, these ad-
justers to be appointed by the United
States district courts and to receive
salaries of from $1,000 to $4,000 per
annum.

The system of filming also extends

y Closed Doors.
But one of the worst grievances of
the girls in the Tobacco Trusts en-
ploy is the closing Of the doors
against them so that they cannot get
out during working hours unless they
become acutely sick. The trust en-
ployes begin at seven o'clock in the
morning. They get half an hour for
lunch and leave the shop at $50 and
sometimes six in the evening. They
thus put in ten hours a day.
frequently girl gets sick during
the day. The odor of the tobacco is
always nauseating, particularly when
it is being treated to give it the right
color. Occasionally tits so sickening
the girls faint. Sometimes a girl
comes to work with constitutional
ailment, and after few hours of
toll finds that she is too sick to stand
and begs to be relieved for the rest
of the day and be allowed to go home.
This is denied her. The forewoman
advises her to try to work and if she
cannot work to sit idle, but not to
leave the shop. To leave the shop
would interfere with the trusts dis
cipline.

MOVING FROM PUBLIC HOUSES

London, April 1.-THE following
item appears in Reynolds: ut has
often been contended that members
of trade unions who attend either
their weekly or monthly meetings,
would find it more satisfactory If a
meeting place could be found else
where than in public house. We
now call attention to the fact that
the members of the Walthamstow
Branch of the Operative House and
Ship Painters and Decorators soci-
ETY. have recently removed to the To-
cal labor exchange. Mr.. George
Pooley, the branch secretary, states
they find a saving in rent, an in
crease in membership, and they have
left behind the great inducement to
members to spend their money use
lessIy, which is always present where
meetings are held in public house
rooms"
