600 Under CONDENSATION Law.

Approximately 100000 has been paid
out of the public treasury since last
December to employees of the govern
ment injured in the performance of
their duty. according to a report made
today by Solicitor Charles Earl of the
Department of Commerce and Labor to
Secretary Nagel.
The report recites the workings of

tive and December 1 last there was
paid to injured employees $7Q4.S14 and
to the dependents of those fatally in
