Praised and Condemned.
LBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Albany. Jan. Awhile the present Leg
islsture will make a determined effort TO
add New York to the fifteen states which
have workmen's compensation acts. a
hearing before Governor Sulzer this after
noon revealed wide divergence of opinion
between legislators and labor men on the
subject. All agreed that the state should
make provision for the compensation OF
injured workmen or for their families In
case of death, but disagreed on details.
Lieutenant Governor Glynn, Senator
Wagner, Speaker Smith and many other
legislators were at the hearing, and the
executive chamber was filled with repre-
sentatves OF labor and civic organiza-
lions. John T. McDonough presented the
provisions Of the bill proposed by the
State Federation Of Labor, but not yet
introduced. II is based on the Ohio law.
Mr. McDonough said he had examined
all the compensation laws enacted and
had found this one the best.
The suggested legislation provides for
state commission OF three TO admins
ter A fund made up of premiums varying
according to the danger OF the employ
ment, and to be paid by all employers
who wish 10 take advantage of the law
He explained that employers were not
compelled to be governed by the law be-
cause OF the decision OF the Court OK APP
peals declaring unconstitutional the last
compensation statute enacted In this
state on the ground that it deprived the
employers Of their property without due
process of law.

widow or next OF kin is 10 get $500. and

McDonough declared that this law was
working satisfactorily in Ohio, and that
insurance for the injured workmen there
was cheaper than anywhere else in the
country. He said there was no place in
that state for the casualty companies,
adding:
We fought all last session for com
pensation bill. and ten days before the
session closed the casualty companies
came up to Albany with bill. but they
knew II was then too late TO get II
through the Legislature. In 1900. 1907 ana
1903 the casualty companies received so,
90 900 and paid out $1,000, coo; that's the
reason they don't want this Dill.

study OF workmen's compensation and
has written a book on this subject, dis
agreed with Mr. McDonoush as to the
efficacy OF the Ohio law. $50 few people

that the majority of people have to go

was the amalgamation of the New Jer-

Employers have an opportunity TO file
a certificate that they will not come under
the law and il they fail to do this they
automatically become subject TO II. This
provision In the New Jersey law, he said,

state fire inspector who has been in
Brunswick for the past few days look
ing into a number of recent HFes IN
this city, left last night for Atlanta
with the announcement that he would
probably return shortly to resume
the investigation.
While no announcement as to the
result Of his present visit to Bruins
wick was made by the inspector, il
is understood that he has secured
some very damaging evidence against
two Brunswick men who recently had
fires at their places, and it is under
stood that the result of the inyestiga-
ton will be referred to the solicitor
general and 1t will then be up to tina
official to push the prosecution.
I've secured some very suspicious
evidence against two Brunswick men
during my stay here, said Mr.. JOY

and while | am not at liberty to
make any announcement just at this
time. It is more than likely that pros
ecutions win follow. expect to re
turn to the city shortly and continue

The two fires in question occurred
some time since, one of them about
two months ago and the other a week
or ten days past.
