do upon complete organization of the
new government.
interesting Situation.
This government action has Gre
ated mos, interesting international
situation and brings up again the atti-
tude of the five other powers, parties
to the six power loan negotiation from
which the United States recently with
drew, announcing its purpose to recog-
niZe China and urging the others to do
the same.
1t is known that some of them, at
least, required more than a mere or
ganization of national legislature be
tween which and the provisional ex-
ecutive serious friction already devel-
oped and that they were originally dis
posed to await the installation Of a
president chosen by constitutional
methods and with evident adequate
support to maintain himself.
All May Follow Suit.
On the other hand, the recent action
of Yuan Shih Kai in concluding a loan
for $l25,000,000 with the five power
group is expected to prove powerful
incentive to those governments to sup
port Yuan Shih Kai by joining in the
recognition of China accorded by the
United States.

Darwin's Plan
Not Successful

Whether the state fish hatchery
fund or the general fund of the
state is entitled 20 $1.936.S6 worth
of salmon confiscated by State Fish
Commissioner L. H. Darwin is q
question which was discussed at
length before Judge Houser by
Prosecuting Attorney Beagle and
Commissioner Darwin.
Some weeks ago the Bellingham
Canning company's traps in Skagit
colinty waters were seized and the
company summoned to appear In
court to answer to charge of fail
ure to raise nets at the time set
aside by law. 1t seems that Dar-
win gave the canning company to
understand that the funds derived
from the confscated fish as we'll as
the $3.50 fine would be turned over
to the hatchery fund here benefiting
the company and at the same time
making Darwin's budget hold out
without an increased appropriation
from the state.
The company's attorneys appeared
before Judge Houser last week and
entered plea of guilty. Then Dar-
win sent down a stipulation to Pros
ecutor Beagle to sign. The stipu-
lation contained provision for the
disposition of the fund according to
Darwin's plan. But Beagle object
ed to giving the money to the hatch
cry fund, contending there was no
law to warrant such action. He
made no opposition to paying the
$3.50 fine into the hatchery fund as
the law specially provides for that.
Judge Houser supported BeaQle's
contention and told Darwin he would
reserve decision in the matter until
Darwin produced authority for tne
position he takes. 1t seems that
Darwin was Influenced largely in his
stand by Whatcom county judges.
1t is stated. however that Darwin,
in his effort to let the cannerymen
down easy and at the same time boil
ster up the appropriation of his
own department agreed in plan

DAGGET EXPLAINS INDUSTRIAL
INSURANCE LAW OF WASHINGTON

There seems to be q lack Of un-
derstaLding among the employers
and the public generally as to the
method of adjusting the rates
or cost of the state industrial insur-
ance and the experience of the acci-
dent fund from the inception of the
law October /. 1911, to July. l
1918" said Floyd L. Daggett, chair
man of the industrial insurance com
mission.
Mr.. Daggett and Mr.. Wallace. of
the commission, were at Belling ham
last week adjusting nu nber of diff
icult claims and attending to other
business connected with the commits
sion.
The law provides basic rate for
each class and subdivision of each
class. That is to say. several class
es of industry may be in the same
class and still have differential bas-
ic rates, therefore, in making our
call as we call it, or as you please
to term it. assessment, they are bas-
ed upon the differential rates on
the payrolls of the various INDUS
tries involved subject to adjustment
at the end Of the fiscal year. How
ever, do not lose sight Of the fact
that the accident fund to which
these contributions 60 for the pay
ment of accident claims to employees
is only supposed to be seIf-sustain
ing. therefore we call only as we
need to pay for accident claims that
have been adjusted and to keep
reasonable working balance in the
fund. This latter is done because
it takes some time to prepare and
send out call and to get in the
money. therefore with the work
ing balance on hand the injured
workman received his money imme-
diately, state warrants which are
cash rather than experience any de-
lay in receiving his money.
For instance. take the lumber
industry class 10, this being by far
the largest class we have in point of
contributions and accident claims.
The basic rate of this class is % per
cent upon the payroll. The exper-
ience of the accident fund in this
class for twenty-ore months has
shown ] 6 per cent is sufficient to
pay all the claims. pensions and pen
sion reserves FOR this period. At
the end of the ficsal year, which is
January. or as sooE after as the
audits can be made. the account of
each firm is adjusted to the actual
experience of this class, and any
surplus amount paid in by any firm
is placed to their credit for succeed
ing year.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1913-09-05

In my Judgment the industria al
insurance is going to be a very po-
tent factor in not only encouraging
the employer to use every means of
safety appliances to minimize the
accidents in his plant and also for
economic reasons is going to raise
the moral and physical standard of
the worklngmen. The lack Of ord
mary safety appliances merely in
creases the accident hazard and un-
der our law the accident must be
paid by the employer in the class in
which they occur, therefore it is to
his interest to reduce these acci-
dents AS much as possible. Also un-
der our compulsory feature of the
law every employer Of the class is
interested in seeing that his neigh
Dor and associate does everything
in his power to reduce the accident
hazard in his particular plant. We
thus get the solid support of all the
members in each class towards the
end of lowering the cost to the ac-
cident fund.
"As soon as the employer fully
realizes that the workmen through
vicious personal habits or acholism
is more prone to accident and when
injured RECEIVERS less rapidly and is
more apt to have permanent disabil-
ity and when tney realize that this
is costing them money they are GO
ing to insist upon a higher moral
standard of living among workmen.
Again, the honest. right living
workman is just as much interested
in seeing that his fellow lives right
~ as the employer is.
In the mind of the better class of
workmen. there is no reason why he
should be paid a month for certain
injury when his fellow workman,
through careless or vicious habits.
require three or four times that
period to recover from the same in
jury. 1t is a reflection upon the
workmen generally and will be re-
sentel as soon as it is thoroughly
understood.
II am heartily in favor of the
theory of this law as l believe that
the compulsory feature both as to
employer and employe, makes it the
most workable and most practical
workmen's compensation law in ex-
istence in America. Since becom-
ing a member of the commission /
have visited nearly every portion of
the state, came in contact with a
large number Of employers and en-
ployes and | find the law working
very satisfactorily"

Working Women
Requested To Keep
Itemized Accounts

Working women and girls through
out the state will be asked to keep.
during the next few months. a care
full summary of all their expendi-
lures even down to corsets and
shoe-strings. They will be asked
to set forth how much they paid for
room, fol board, for various articles
of feminine attire, for lemonade
candy and car rides. The informa-
tion is sought by the new industrial
welfare commission and will be US
ed in determining intelligentfy upon
fair minimum wage for working
women and for minors.
AS a preliminary to fixing such q
minimum wage the commission has
determined that a thorough investi-
CATION into the cost of living in the
state is necessary and it is in regard
to this that the cooperation Of the
women and girls will be sought.
Blanks have been prepared, on which
the employees will be asked to note
their estimated expenditures during
the past year for the various indivi-
dual items. In addition to this as
many as possible will be prevailed
upon to Keep an. accurate account
Of their expenditures from this time
on, SO that the commission may be
sure that the figures they receive
are not the result Of mere guess
work.
