as provided in the special agreement

ments.
Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, chief JUS

ain o the United States.
Agree on Schedule of Claims.
The third member has practically
been agreed upon and his name will
be announced later.
Cecil J.. B. Hurst of the British for.
eign office will be chief counsel for
Great Britain. Edmund L. Newcombe,
Canadian deputy minister of Justice,

Divided Into Four Glasses.
The claims already agreed upon re-
quire the decision of many interest
ing and important questions of inter-
national law and are divided into four
classes:
Claims based on alleged denial in
whole or in part of real property
rights; claims based on acts of either
government in relation to the vessel
of the n~ationalists of the other, or for
alleged wrongful collection of customs
duties or other charges by either gov
eminent; claims based on damages
to the property of either government
or its nationals or on personal wrongs
of such nationals, due to the opera
tons of the military or naval forces of
the other government, or to acts of
negligence of the civil authorities Of
the other government; and claims
based on contracts between either
government and the nationals of the
other government!
1t is expected the tribunal will meet
next spring and by agreement of the
two governments, it's first session will
be held in Washington.

excluded absolutely any chances of

WoRkMEN's COMPENSATION.
Act Favored by Labor Unions of Ken.
nebec' County.

The labor unions of Kennebec
county at a meeting held Wednesday
evening, in this city adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions in favor of the
workman's compensation act.
Whereas our present system o.!
dealing with industrial accidents is
economically, morally and legally UNI
sound, and
Whereas it is satisfactory only to
those employers and workmen who
practically disregard their legal rights
and obligations and fairly share the
burden of accidents in industries, and
Whereas the burden of serious ac-
cidents falls on the workmen least able
to bear it and brings many of them
and their families to want. therefore
be it
Resolved, that we invite the labor
organizations of Maine to cooperate
with us in a campaign for the adop-
ton of a proper Workmen's compensa~
ton act to the end that the employer
may protect the workmen and the bur-
den and shock of the accident be. borne,
so far as possible by the community.
