The attorney general of Minnesota

Department of Labor recently sub

Judge John C, Netheway Of the state
legal department prepared the an
swers to the Bureau of Labor's ques-

One important question submitted
brings out a surprising provision In
the law. and the opinion of the at
torney general is contrary to the in
tention of the friends of the bill on
the labor side. If an employe is
entitled to $3.50 by virtue Of his dis
ability, and he settles by. accepting
a lump sum of 500 at the beginning
of his disability he is barred from
claiming the balance of $50. This

Word comes from Cleveland that
40 lake passenger steam ship COM

most in opposition to the bill, it is
said the. freight lines, and principally
the Lake Carriers association is the
real power behind the opposition.
Saving Of dollars is the main rea-
son for their opposition. Safety first
Is all right with them SO, long as 1t
does not interfere with expense.
The fight in the senate last week
was the hottest witnessed in that
body for many years. Senator La Fol-
lette was in the midst of. the debate
from the beginning to the end. He
carried his substitute. over the COM

Senator Burton of Ohio led the fight
for the opposition, and in behalf OF
the big shipping interests. ~
+ During the debate eloquent and
well deserved tribute was paid tt
