+ TALKS; SENDS BILL

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The Sun, In
a. Washington dispatch, tells how
Secretary OF State Bryan received an
invitation in September to attend the
heavy draft show in Leesburg. Va.
There he was feasted and enter
tanned, received the freedom of the
city, with a golden copy of the key
to the city hall. He was also invited
to make an address which was
listened to with interest for more
than an hour. Then. after he had re-
turned to Washington, he sent his
entertainers a bill for $500 for the
address he had made. His custom, he
said, was to charge $500 for similar
engagements.
The committee in charge of the
heavy draft show in now very peev-
ish, individually and collectively.
They paid the bill and are keeping
quiet about it, but the effort to con-
ceal their chagrin has been unsuc-

Q.-Is not this sort of law some
thing new in the shape of legislation
for this state?
A.-No. During the last two and a
half years there has been upon the
statute books Of California volun-
tary workmen's compensation law.
which did not apply to all employers.
1t applied only to those who filed
with the Industrial accident board a
written statement electing to be
bound by the provisions OF that law.
approximately 1900 employers ac-
cepted that law during the last two
and a half years and they have had
In their employ about 100000 work
ers. The fact that but one firm dur
ing that time withdrew its election Of
has worked. The employers who
have been operating under that law
have written letters to the industrial
accident board in which they have
expressed their entire satisfaction
with the principle Of workmen's COM
pensattOn. After two and a. half
years experience with the voluntary
act 1t was deemed advisable to make
the law compulsory-that Is. to make
1t apply to all employers. with the
exception OF those whose employees
are engaged in agricultural activities
or domestic service.
COMPETITION By OTHER STATES
Q.-Does not the passing of this
law put the employers Of the state
of California at a disadvantage in
the market and make it more difficult
for them to compete with employers
In other states in which there are no
compensation laws?
A--No. Twenty-six states have
compensation laws similar In their
nature to the one that Is to go into
effect in this state. In some other
states the provisions are far more
stringent than IN California. Our
immediate neighbors - Washington,
Oregon, Nevada and Arizona-au have
workmen's compensation laws Of one
kind or another. Not only that, but
the fact that in this state 1900 en-
ployers have been able to come un-
der the voluntary compensation law
and compete successfully In this state
against other employers who have
not come under the compensation
provisions shows conclusively that
the employers OF this state will not
be handicapped by the introduction
of the new compulsory law.
CONCERNING NEGLECT
QIDoes the compensation act pro-
vide to the workman full compensa-
tion in damages for any injury he
may receive while in the discharge
of his duties because of neglect on
the part of the employer to see to it
that all possible and modern appli
ances to guard against accidents
have been installed?
A.-Yes. The employe who is in
jured through the gross negligence
of his employer or through the en-
ployers willful misconduct can either
claim compensation under the Boyn-
ton act or maintain an action at law
for damages. In nearly all circum-
stances where the employe has been
injured through the gross negligence
of the employer the injured man will
accept compensation rather than sus
for damages because compensation
