Payments Small Under the Federal
Compensation Law.
In the first five years during which
the federal workmen's compensation
law was in effect 14.963 claims were
filed and 14.046 allowed. of which 437
were for fatal accidents. The total
compensation paid for all accidents
was $1.S0O.00O. of which more than
1920 went to the 6.315 employees OF
the isthmian canal commission.
The law went into effect on May 30.
1908. and was the pioneer statute pro-
viding for accident compensation.
Since that time twenty four states
have enacted similar laws. all OF them.
however. making more liberal allow
ances. 1t Is estimated that $1,000 per-
sons. or about one-fourth OF the civil
ian employees of the government are
covered by the law. Under the federal
law compensation payments cease
when an employee is able to resume
work. The department Of labor points
out that the compensation awarded is
insufficient in many cases. Fracture of
an arm or a leg led to compensation
payments of less than $25. the loss of
an eye $25 to $50 and in the case of a
right arm the injured workman re-
ceived less than $50. In each Of three
cases the loss of both legs brought the
sufferer only $3T7.

Al MUDDLED DECISION.


Judge Holds Minnosota's Minimum
Wage 70 Pc DEMONSTRATIONS
Commenting on Judge Catlin's de-
cision that Minnesota's minimum wage
law is unconstitutional and enjoinlng
the state from putting the net IN opera
ton. the New York World says:
The learned judge who held Min
nesota's minimum wage law to be I'M
constitutional seems to have had
mixture Of motives-or reasons-but
to have been utterly determined that
the law was a bad thing. In the first
place. the actual working OF the law
would be likely to increase immortality.
II morals are dependent on wages"
Just what business that is Of any
judge no constitution undertakes TO
say. but it appears to h,lve been an
argument against the validity Of this
particular law.
In the second place. the law, instead
of fixing blindly minimum rate OF
wages. delegated power to commits
sion to investigate and determine rates.
Minnesota may have a constitution so
worded that this is contrary to its pro-
visions. but it is good recognized legal
procedure in many other states. Also
the ''abridgment of the right of the
individual to contract" held to be an
other unconstitutional feature of the
measure. has not been 50 held in Ore
gon
Save for the fact that 1t applied to
males under twenty-one as well as to
women and children. Minnesota's was
one of the mildest Of the minimum
wage laws passed in 1913 1t was "A
tentative. experimental sort of statute.
The legislature which enacted the
law was commonly held to have been
moderate to a degree. though wise in
recognizing the need of such protection
for workers. Judge Catlin's decision
indicates that something Is seriously
wrong with the states constitution-or
its courts. Just what. and which. the
supreme court may show on the appeal
from this decision.
