GLYNN TO PUSH LABOR BILL
Outlines Plan for Workmen's
Compensation Act.

Albany, Nov. ia conference with
representatives Of interests concerned IN
workmen's compensation act to-day
made Governor Glynn optimistic about
getting such legislation through this year.
Conflicting interests spoiled Governor Sui
zer's plan for this act last year, and
Governor Glynn's task is to draw them
together.
The chief difference arose between labor
interests and casualty companies. Gov.
ernor Glynn is seeking to smooth over
this difficulty by having the two sides &C.
cept his views on this feature Of the law.
The Governor would make provision fol-
casualty insurance in case plans favored
by the labor interests fail.
The bill will provide for insurance
through "A state fund. mutual companies
casualty companies and self-insurance b,
the corporation. A state board OF indus
trial insurance would approve all negh
gence damage awards No such provision
was made in the former bill. A tentative
bill along this line will be drawn UP to.
morrow for approval.

Horse Show Crowd Cheers
Pairs Under Saddle
Through a Lively
Contest.

One OF the most interesting classes OF
the day at the Horse Show in the Gar
den was the competition for the Louis
Sherry cup, which called pairs OF saddle
horses into the ring at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. While the conditions did
not specify that the horses must be
matched, the judges decision settled that
matter conclusively when they asked
Miss Atterburys beautiful chestnut mare
Patricia and last years champion Nickel
Plate to leave the ring. II was learned
later that the reason for this was that
the Judges did not consider them pair.

Miss Ellen Rasmussen rode Sir Evelyn,

OF the yellow ribbon which fell to their

tracted more attention than any OF the
other entries. This was partly due TO
the fact that they are very handsome
animals. but principally because Captain
II. +. Parker. who rode Grey Plover was
all bound up in a sort OF harness to keep
his broken collarbone in place.
When Captain Parker essayed to send
Grey Plover over the jumps in the class
for qualified hunters on Tuesday after
noon Grey Plover signified his displeasure
by lying down and rolling over on his
side. In spite OF a broken collarbone,
which Captain Parker calls Slight mis-
