Ready To Distribute.
President Wilson is at last ready to
take up the widespread distribution
of patronage and the appeasing of the
horde of place hunters who are be-
sieging senators and representatives
according to Senator J. Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois, who had a lengthy
conference with the president today.
The president has been worried be-
cause of the enormous number of po-
sition seekers and because it has
been necessary to get the best man
for each position progress has been
slow, but he told me that the weed
ing out process is proceeding rapidly
and that the various cabinet members
are ready to make numerous recon-
mendatiOns.

NEW BLANKS FOR
FACTORY REPORTS
ALSO THOSE EMPLOYERS sHRLL
USE IN CASE OF ACCIDENTS.
REPORTS MORE COMPREHENSIVE
Announcement is Made That Teach
ers Of Iowa win Continue Wasing
Campaign For Law For School
Teachers Pensions.

Des Molnes, Ia, May Labor
Commissioner Urick is preparing the
new blanks for factory reports as pro-
vided by the law and also the new
blanks provided by law that factory
employers shall use in reporting acct
dents to the labor department.
One of the chief features of the ac-
cident reports will be that report
will be required first showing the ma
ture of the accident, the nature of the
employment, the age of the worker,
etc. Then supplemental report
will be required showing the length
of time elapsing between the time of
the accident and the return of the in
jured person to work. This data to
be collected will be a valuable basis
for computation of risks under the
new Workingmen's Compensation
law.
The factory reports will be far
more comprehensive than ever be-
fore. Up to this legislature a blank
was prescribed by law that was linn
tied in the required information. The
last legislature abolished the blank
and gave the Labor Commissioner the
right to go as far as he likes" in
asking information. Now Mr. Urick
is working out a blank that will give
all the information that might be of
interest relative to employment of
labor and the services of employees.

Announcement recently on the part
of school teachers that they will con-
tinue waging campaign to get
law enacted for school teachers pen
siOns has awakened political interest
at the state capitol where are being
discussed the prophetic words of
Senator Schrup of Dubuque, when he
opposed the measure in the Senate.
Then he said it was a far bigger
problem than merely dealing with
the school teachers. He said IL OPP
ened the entire field of"pensions" and
that concession granted school
teachers would establish a precedent
that would embarrass the legislature
when it faced the question of giving
pensions to members of different Ia
Dor unions. There are many here
who believe the school teachers pen
sion movement would be but the be-
ginning of the social legislation move
ment which has resulted in some for
eign countries in providing old age
pensions, unemployment pensions,
mothers pensions, etc.
