w0RKMAN's COMPENSATION
Considered at Meeting of Senate Com
mittees Last Night.

The committee on constitutions
amendments on the part of the Senat,
and the Senate comrdittee on immigra
ton and labor held public hearing las
evening in the Senate chamber on thu
workmans compensation proposal o.
amendment to the state constitution ant
the various workmans compensation
bills that are before the Senate.
Appearing and speaking at the hearing
were II. j. NJ. Jones OF the Jones Bros
Granite company, G. II. Bickford Of the
| Woodbury. Granite company OF Hard
! wick and Bethel, j. A. Healey OF the
Barre Quarry company. Guy Varnum OF
the Boutwell,, Milne. Varnum company
representing the quarry owners and
manufacturers Attorney j, w. Gordon
of Barre, who spoke for about an hour,
Daniel Sullivan, John Bishop, Alex. Iron
side and Others of Barre, representing
the workmen.
Mr.. Bickford favored the proposal of
amendment TO the constitution and
urged the. passage of a law providing
for commission to investigate the gem
eral system and recommend such law
as would serve the state the best. He
believed that a law which would make
the workman and manufacturer share in
proportion to the burden they should
assume would be fairer to all concerned
than a law that would place the entire
responsibility and cost on the employer.
Mr.. Jones' position was substantially
the same.
Rutland Charter Amendment.
At public hearing last night befor,
the committee on municipal corporations,
Attorney z. NJ. Meldon of Rutland APP
peared at the request OF the mayor OF
Rutland in connection with the amend
ment proposed to the charter OF that
city. He stated that he did not APP
pear TO discuss the amendments, but
rather to urge upon the committee the
fact that the sponsors OF the measure
had made no attempt to take the citi-
zens OF Rutland into their confidence in
the matter. He argued that no attempt
through the press or otherwise had been
made to put the proposition before the
people of his city.
Mr.. Hulett, the representative from

House 493, was presented to

lad communicated with the sponsors of
he measure and asked if they wished |
m opportunity to appear before the
ommittee. He said he had received no
eply in the matter.
Mr.. Meldon said that he thought the
'eople of Rutland ought to be consulted
n matter of such Importance as
mending the city charter rather than
ave the legislature take up the matter
t the request of one or two individuals.
he committee announced that final
caring would be given the bill Wednes
ay evening, Jan. %, at I o'clock, and
sked Mr.. Hulett to notify the men in
crested in the bill to appear.

QUICKSILVER IN 1912.
Largest Output in Past Six Years Was
Reported.

Preliminary figures collected by II. d.
McCaskey, of the United States geolog-
ical survey, from the indiviaual produc-
ers show that the domestic production of
quicksilver in 1912 was 25,l47 TASKS OF
rs pounds each, valued at the average
San Francisco domestic price for the
year. $4204, at 81 ,057, $50. compari-
son of these figures with the final pub
lished survey figures for 1911 and 1910
shows gain over the output of 1911
of 1891 TASKS and over that of 1910 OF
4546 TASKS. Twenty mines We're report
ed as producing in 1912, OF which 10 were
in California, against p producers in
1911, of which 10 were in California.
The production for 1912 showed a
larger increase than was generally ex-
pected, but it is not thought that cor
respondingly large increase can be looked
for in 1913. Indeed, the reported gradu
al decline in output from some of the
larger ore bodies and possible unfavof
able market conditions and prospects
may result in decreased output for
1913.
Increased Production in California.
The production in quicksilver in Cali
fornia in 1912 was 20,6l3 TASKS, valued
at $S66,57l, against an output of 1850
TASKS, valued at 1867 $40, in 1911. 1t |
was the largest production since that Of
"a .635 TASKS IN 1905. The increase was
due mainly to the yield Of the New |
mine, in Santa Clara county
but also to increased output from sew
eral other mines. In San Benito county !
the New Idria mines yielded slightly less
than in 1911 but remained the largest
producers in America and are to be
credited with nearly half the entire
output of California

pany has been owned by the Il. & 4.
Fairbanks 4 ca, for some time as shown
by previous charter amendments. But
the grant in this bill is extended by
the broad words "or OF any other cor
poration,' and those words open the
field for the investment in other cor.
porations of any sort, to any amount,
and the creation OF monopoly in yio-
lation of the Sherman law and the best
interests of the state.
at is true that amendments to the
charter of this corporation have been
made at various times tending toward
this end but the grants have been linn.
tied both in scope OF the business TO
be engaged in and in the amounts to be
invested.
Without attacking the action taken
by past legislatures, il seems to me that
the time has come to call halt in the
pursuance of such policy which if
carried out would only result in the
establishing of a dangerous precedent
and great injury to the public.
