| Minnick, J. A.. Lukens and L. G. Stiles
, was appointed at the Trades and Lab
or assembly meeting Sunday morning

other states and secure their best
points. This committee will make
known it's finding at an open meeting

terested in the passage of such sta
tute, are invited to attend. An open
discussion will take place at the lab
or hall, corner of Main and Court
streets, on this night, in which all who
so desire are asked to participate. 1t
is the endeayor OF this committee ap-
pointed Sunday to become thoroughly
acquainted with the liability and COM
pensation question, that they may
make recommendations to the com
sideration and apply to the accident
and injury conditions of this state.
The committee will go over the laws
of Maryland, Ohio, Illinois and other

and provisions best suited for Iowa

"Up-to-Date Law Advocated.
The first meeting in compliance with
the request of, the commission, which
is visiting all the larger cities Of the
state securing data for the proposed
statute, was held week ago Sunday,
at which time committee of seven
was appointed to act in an executive
capacity in this work of the Trades
and Labor assembly. The meeting
yesterday was. for further arrange
ments, resulting in the selection of the
committee Of three. The assembly be-
lieves a more accurate and judicial
recommendation can be made by the
board by the approval and disapproval
of sections of the compensation laws
OF other states. 1t is also the desire
to advocate the passage Of law that
will be "up-todate" as it were, and
more advanced than statutes now IN
force.
The Ohio law was taken up Sunday
morning by the executive committee.
This statute provides for the compen-
sation to be paid, ninety per cent by
the employers and ten per cent by
the employees. This was disapproved
for the reason that those present de-
clare the employees should not pay any
part of the compensation.
The Ohio law leaves it optional with
employer and employe whether or not
the industry shall be governed by the
liability and compensation statute.
EmpIoye Pay No Part.
It was the expression Sunday morn
ing that no law should be recommends
ed whereby the workingmen should be
held for the payment Of any part Of

Olympic Candidates Begin Contests for
Worlds Athletic Honors.

Stockholm, July 6.-The Inaugural
ton of the Olympic games today pro-
Vided a spectacle which probably new
er has been equalled in all the history
of athletics from the days of ancient
Greece. 1t was not only a beautiful
and memorable scene. but a solemn
ceremony which moved the spectators
deeply.
The day was perfect. There was a
clear, blue sky o7-erhead The
great stadium was lied with 10000
people of all nationalities, the deli
cate colors of the women's costumes
and the bright uniforms of the army
officers in themselves made a remark
able picture.
When the members of the Swedish
royal family entered their gaily decor
ated box at IL o'clock all present
stood with barred heads and gave
loud cheer while a call blown by a
corps of trumpeters sounded far and
wide and announced the opening OF
then started the Swedish national
hymn which was Joined in by many
spectators.
The entry OF the athletic teams into
the arena gave the spectators an OPP
portunity for a display of patriotism,
which each national delegation among
them seized and gave voice to with all
the power of their lungs.
After the delegations Of sweden
Norway and Denmark the team repre-
sentirg the United States showed the
largest and finest body of men in the
procession and the stars and stripes
called forth by far the heartiest well
come of all the flags carried by the
visitors The little file of three ath-
letes following the flag of Japanese,
however, got warm applause. At the
head of each delegation marched two
stalwart athletes who carried the ma
tionaI flag and standard bearing the
names of their respective countries
surmounted by wreath Committee
men in silk hats and frock coats fol-
lowed Then came the competitors,
some of them in uniforms, others bare
armed. and bare legged
The whole body marched around the
track and then massed on the green
facing the royal box with the standard
barer holding on high the colors of
