James M. Curley. the new chief mag
istrate Of Boston, has had a remark.
able political career. For the past
fourteen years he has been an Office
holder and has yet to meet his first
defeat at the polls.
The new mayor Is native of Bos-
ton, in his fortieth year and was born
and reared in poor circumstances. At
the age Of ten he was compelled to
work in drug store after school
hours. Then he worked as grocery
salesman. finally engaging in real
estate and insurance.
Mayor Curley's first entrance into
political Office was as member of the
common council Next he served two
years in the state legislature and for
seven years as an alderman. In 1911
he was elected to congress and at the
time of his election to the mayoralty
was serving in the national house of
representatives.
Mr.. Curley was convicted by a jury in
the United States district court Of i'm
personating another man at a civil sery-
ice examination. He appealed. but the
decision went against him. and he
served two months in Jail. That this
episode did not weaken him in the es-
timation of his constituency is shown
by the fact that on the eve Of his SEN
tence he was elected to the board of
aldermen.

On many new evening gowns and

yet they have decorative value. espe-

the demand for cut jet that they are

Cordlike girdles of jet and beads give
classic air to many evening gowns

been retained.

WORKMEN'S ACT
GETTING RESULTS
Wisconsin Pleased With Its
New Compensation Law.
LkBORERS ARE BENEFITED.

Persons Hurt Get More Money From
Corporations Than Formerly-Com-
panies' Expenses Decreased by Elmi-
mating Middleman - Six Thousand
Cases In One Year.
Madison, Wis.-The wOrkmen's COM
pensation act is beginning to show the
beneficial results of the amendment of
1913 in reversing the manner of aid
Ing employees affected by it. Dur
ing one month there were 901 indus
trial accidents in Wisconsin, not in
Guiding railroad accidents. OF this
number 791, or SO per cent, were under
compensation. According to reports
made to the industrial commission the
number of accidents is increasing, but
this only apparently is true. The fact
Is that more accidents are reported
than formerly. In the case of shop ac-
cidents, which heretofore have been
quite accurately reported. decrease is
shown.
Because of the federal liability act
applying to accidents in interstate COM
merce the larger railroads have not
come under the act.
During one month 553 accident cases
were settled under the compensation
law. This was at the rate of 6,636
cases year. The cost per case on the
average. excluding medical and hos
pital charges. was $62S9. Applying
the same cost per case to the $685.
cases, it amounts to $417,374 as the
total cost year for indemnity. To.
this must be added the estimated cost
Of medical and hospital charges, max
Ing $626,061 as the probable cost of
compensation for SO per cent of the
Industrial accidents in Wisconsin for
1918. Indemnity is paid only in cases
where disability extends beyond the
seventh day, while medical attendance
applies to all accidents where such
services are needed.
The cost here given accounts only
for money actually paid to or on be-
half of the injured workmen and
does not include overhead cost of in
surance. The amount paid to injured
workmen is easily more than three
times as much as they received in
any one year under the old law. But
this does not by any means show that
1t cost the employers three times as
much as under the old system. Under
that system the injured workmen did
not receive more than rs per cent of
the amount paid by employers. while
under the compensation act at least rs
per cent Of the amount paid by the
employers goes directly to the men
who are hurt.
In another way the results of the
operation of the compensation law dur
Ing the last year were gratifying. Old
line insurance rates were reduced
twice during the year. In February
rates were reduced about 25 per cent.
and in October they were reduced
about Is per cent and at the same time
coverage was increased from $1,000
and $4,000 to an unlimited amount
For unlimited coverage under liability
the rates were about 20 per cent higher
than under limited coverage.
In addition to the foregoing. 11S cases
Of accidents were settled against the
state and municipalities at cost of
e39.942.
The cost of administration of the
compensation act by the commission
for the year 1918 did not exceed $1,000.
The saving in costs of litigation to
counties Is safely estimated at over
100000.

THE POLITICAL
BATTLE ENDED

by Governor Hooper upon the res
ignation of Judge Shields, has
taken his candidacy directly be-
fore the voter of the state at the
August election. appealing to all
parties on the excellent record
that he has made as Judge. His
conduct on the bench has brought
him to the favorable attention of
the bar of the whole state, and
The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1914-02-19

his manly, straight forward decla-
rations have put him before the
people in the same light.
The other candidate is Judge
Robert Burrow, of Bristol. 1t was
understood at the time of the
senatorial election, last winter,
that in the event of Judge Shields,
election Judge Burrow would be
vacant next September. Judge
BurroW was in Nashville at the
time and was strong and active
supporter of Judge Shields in his
race for the senate. It is gener-
ally believed that a measure of
political reciprocity will be shown.
Judge Burrow was also a friend
and ally of John |. Cox, who is
valuable to anyone seeking the
regular nomination at the conven-
ton.
The third office of importance
to come before the people this
year is that of railroad commission
err. The term of Commissioner
Frank Avent expires, and his sue
cessor is to be chosen in the No
vember election. There will be
more interest than usual in this
election, because of the increasing
Importance of the place. There
has never been time in the his
tory of the state when the railroad
commission had before it such i'm
portant work in the way of litiga-
ton, assessments, ETC., as itnow
has, or required men of a higher
order of ability and integrity.
The place must be filled from
Middle Tennessee, Commissioner
Avent will probably be a candi-
date, and there is also talk of
other candidates getting into the
running. Mr.. Avent has been
known as a strictly regular
and was quite active in the
McMillin campaign and the legis-
lative fights of the past year.
There are then, five important
political questions to come up this
year-the legislature, the govern
orship, the platforms, the supreme
Judges place, and the railroad
commissionership.
The supreme court has spoken
on the election law. The fight is
on, in the open, with the year 1914
promising interesting develop
ments. Then there is the legisla-
ture of 1915, in the offing, which
will certainly have before it ques-
tons of great Importance to the
cause of good government in Ten
nessee. That legislature, to be
chosen in November, 1914, seems
to be the real objective of nearly
all the political maneuvering and
twisting of the early part of 1914.
1t will have the power to drive the
nail through and clinch it on the
other side-or it can undo what
the three great battles preceding
have accomplished. 1t is small
wonder, therefore, that the liquor
forces, open and disguised, are 60
ing to strain every nerve and
knock the bottom out Of the war
chest to Secure it.
