gress in 1912, for the purpose of draft
ing resolutions for the congress in
1918, outlining a policy for the con-
gress to pursue to that most impor-
tant question.
start With Fake.
AS part of our report we file first
the report of the committee on water
power presented by George F. Swain,
of Harvard University, chairman. This
was represented to be the unanimous
findings of the committee appointed
by the congress in 1912, but it soon
became evident that this statement
was misleading, as a minority report
was presented by Henry L. Stimson,
Of New York, Joseph T. Neal, of Ore
gon, and Clifford Pinchot, of Pennsyl-
vania.
a third report containing the unani-
nous recommendations of the commit
tee was presented.
1t was evident as soon as we had
taken our seats in the congress that
the water power question overshodow
ed all other questions in the 1918 con-
gress.
i
Immediately after the congress con-
vened a. delegate, who was later char
ged with being q representative Of the
water power interests made q motion
that all resolutions pertaining to wat
empower or other questions relating
to the bushes Of the congress SHOULD
bebreferred to the committee on reSo-
lutions without debate. The motion
was adopted without question although
the delegates representing the Inter
national Union had their misgivings
. to its fairness and wiseness, but
having just taken their seats in the
congress for the f1rt time they felt
that If objection was not made fom
any other source they would remain ST.
lent and watch developments.
Corporation Ruse.
IT quickly developed that this was
ruse. on the part of the representa-
tives Of the water power interests for
the purpose of cutting off debate be-
fore the congress. The strategy of
/ the water power interests was dis
cernible when It was found that they
had secured control Of the committee
on resolutions.
The first test vote came on q mo
ton made by Mr.. Stimson of New
York, to adopt the unanimous report
Of the, committee, (marked Exhibit
y without reference to the committee
ON resolutions. On this question the
vote was as follows: Forereference to

COMPENSATION
LAW Is o. K,

Columbus, Ohio, May 14.-The State
Supreme Court has upheld that sec
ton OF the workmen's COMPENSATION
act which prohibits an EMPLOYER
from pleading the common law de-
fenses Of ''fellow-servant' responsible
1ty, "contributory negligence,'' or "as-
sumption of risk If he neglects to CON
tribute to the compensation fund for
injured employees Under thel aw. a
failure of employers to contribute to
the fund debars them from using
these defenses in a suit for damages
and the jeffrey Manufacturing com.
pany claimed this was in contraven-
ton to the State constitution and the
fourteenth amendment to the Federal
constitution, as it deprived them Of
property without due process Of law"
The court refused to accept this view.
point: The jeffrey company did not
contribute to the workmen's compen-
sation fund. The law does not make
this actually mandatory, but the pro
vision that he tcommon law defenses
may not be used in personal injury
suits brought against an employer il
considered rendering it virtually com
pulsory for employers of more than
five persons to be contributors.

FOR THE
State CORN CROP
Professor Grantham Gives
Growers Some Tips on
the Culture
SHOWS NECESSITY
OF GOOD SEED

According TO Professor Grantham of
the Agronomy Department of Delaware
College much of the seed corn saved last
fall is likely to be Of low germnation,
owing to the severe freezing weather OF
last winter This condition will apply
particularly to seed corn that was not
fully dried out before the cold weather
came. He says all seed corn should be
tested to determine its state OF vitality.
A few kernels taken at random from
several ears OF the lot of seed corn
should be sprouted. II 95 per cent. OF
the kernels are strong and vigorous, no
further testing viii be necessary II,
however, the termination falls below %
per cent. each individual seed ear should
be tested. Directions for testing a large
number Of seed ears will be furnished by
the Agronomy Department upon request.
Inquiries from many parts of the state
Indicate that there is a considerable de-
mand for seed corn. II is suggested
that those growers who have seed corn
for sale should write TO the department
stating the kind OF corn and the quan.
'tity they have for sale. This will enable
the owners of good seed corn TO come in
touch with those looking for good seed.
The department is often at loss TO
know where TO locate supplies of seed
corn in the State and win gladly co.
operate with growers in cfectiug the
distribution of seed of good quality
Seed corn should preferably be- pur-
chased in the ear Examination as TO
ltype and characteristics Of the variety
can then be made more satisfactorily.
Corn in the ear may also be tested more
accurately than shelled grain. DO not
purchase seed corn from locality too
remote Seed from 100 miles farther
north or south is not likely to produce
as well as corn grown on the Peninsula.
llf it is desired to grow a new variety
from distance begin in a small way
hut do not depend on il for the entire
lcrop.
