Case of Edward Sweum.
Ambulance chasing attorneys and
insurance adjusters" have fallen on
evil days in the state of Washington if
one is to believe the exposition by Bur
ton Hendrick in McClure's Magazine of
the work of the industrial commission
which administers the new law regu-
lating the compensation of injured
workmen in the western common
wealth
The case of Edward Sweum, the first
man to 90 on the state pension list for
total disability, is typical. Sweum came
from Trondhjem. Norway, thirty years
ago In Wisconsin he married a Scan
dinavian girl, and he took her to
the Pacific coast, where he found en-
ployment in lumber mill. There he
had the misfortune to tumble from
travelling carriage upon a circular saw
and lost both his arms. If this had
happened in 1910 the further history of
his case would have been as follows:
When he came out from under the
ether he would have been confronted
by agents of the casualty companies.
These companies formerly assumed the
entire responsibility Of the employer in
case of accident to an employee. The
employer merely paid the premium to
the casualty company, and there his
interest ended The agent would have
made it his business to secure from
Sweum, for a few hundred dollars, a
signed statement releasing the com
pany from any further liability for
damages. The agent would point out in
most plausible terms that if Sweum
brought suit it might take years to get
the money, and Sweum-and thousands
in his place-would probably conclude
to accept the bird in the hand and take
the proffered cash in immediate settle
ment.
What actually did happen to Sweum
in 1911 followed this matter of fact
routine: His employer reported the 0c-
cident to the industrial insurance COM
missioner His physician instructed
the victim to file a claim with the com
mission on a formal blank provided.
The examining physician made re-
port Of the injuries, and eyewitness
entered their dispositions. In a few
weeks he was put on the state pension
roll. lie was given $1,000 to pay off
the mortgage on his house and defray
the Doctors bills. His monthly pension

JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY.
Trade Unions Expecting Equity Mus'
Do EQUITY to EmpI oyers.

Do Equity to Employers.
In recent issue the Typographical
Journal, official organ of the lutcrna
tional Typographical union, has the
following to say:
Is it such a strange and rare occur
ccuce for trade union to take a cor
rect position-a position for justice
and fair play that It then subjects
Itself TO criticism and miSrepresenta-
tion on the part of other trade unions
and their representatives?
Striving for decent treatment are
we not prepared to accord decent
treatment?
When sister union is so unfortu-
nate as to emulate the tactics Of that
lass of employers against whom we
are aligned, must sister unions indorse
such a position simply because trade
union has taken it?
SO far as the International Typo
graphical union is concerned, it eX-
poets fair treatment for its members
from employers, and it is prepared to
accord that kind of treatment to these
employers.
After our local unions enter into con
tracts these contracts will be respected
and maintained
The policy Of the international Typo
graphical union has been to demand
justice and to accord justice, and on
that policy the organizations prestige
and greatness rest.
Even though we may be temporarily
misunderstood, maligned and misrepre-
scented. we will continue to maintain
that policy.
We will not be party to the acts
and the schemes of those labor repre-
sentatives who are actuated by politl-
cal motives of the mcancst type or
who have grievances to satisfy and
who are willing TO sacrifice their
unions and members if their personal
desires may thus be satisfied
1t is time for plain speaking.
Organized labor is suffering today
because of recklessncss and criminal
ity of some of its former leaders.
The moment is here when organized
labor must set its face sternly against
wrongdoing. hypocrisy and deception.
If we protest against an employers
black list, then we should as strongly
protest against Il unions black list.
Two wrongs do not make right in
the trade union movement any more
than in any other movement.

Conquerinx the Chinch Bug

In many sections of the country
the cereal crops and forage grasses
are threatened with great injury by
the chinch bug. A circular from tho
Illinois agricultural experiment sta
tion says that in the southern part
of that state enormous damage will
result from them unless very wet
weather intervenes or active meas
ures are taken to combat them. The
best method of protection is to sur
round the infested fields with .
band of viscid road-oil, with holes
about the size of a post-hole along
the inside and about thirty feet
apart. The bugs cannot cross this
line and many will fall into the
holes. A barrel of the oil necessary
will be sufficient for most farmers
and will cost about three dollars.
The expense OF maintaining such
line will be about 80 cents a mile
day. Where road-oil cannot pos
sibly be obtained coal-tar may be
used, but 1t must be more frequently
renewed. In very dry weather
dusty furrow with holes sunk in the
bottom will do very we'll. but 3
shower will destroy its efficiency.
The bugs may be killed on corn
plants by an application of tobacco

That remedy is Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Greeley Testimony proves it al

August Anderson, 1925 Thir-
teenth street, Greeley, Colo. says:
II hold as high an opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills today as when l pub
licly recommended them in Septem-
Der, 1905. l was subject to attacks
of backache for a long time and
was convinced that this trouble was
caused by disordered kidneys. When
Doans Kidney Pills were brought
to my attention l procured supply
at the Gilbert Drug Co., and the
great relief l obtained from their
use convinced me of their value. 1t

Rat Proof COrn-Cribs Save Millions
OF Dollars

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears an article showing
how farmers spend great deal Of
money and ingenuity in the con-
struction of rat-proof corn-cribs to
save themselves from a loss of mill
lions of dollars worth of corn. The
article is written by Professor c. 8.
Chase of the Kansas Agricultural
college. Professor Chase says that
rats will jump two and one half
to three feet high, and will climb
anything but smooth metal. rat
proof crib, therefore, must be on
rat-protected posts or built to keep
rats from climbing the sides. If q
farm happens to be located near a
wharf or slaughter-house where rats
are especially bad, it is advisable to
tack sheet iron onto the corn crib.
