COMPENSATION ACT WILL
SOON BE IN ACTION
Commission Prepares for work;
Plan is Elective With Work.
ers and Employers.

The East Oregonian has received
from Carl D. Babcock, a member OF
the state Industrial Accident Commits
sion, a copy of the Workmen's Com
pensation Act, which was passed al
most unanimously by the last legis-
lature. held UP by the referendum and
approved by the people on November
ith by a vote of more than two to
Cne. Included with the law, is the
report Of the commission appointed
by Governor West to frame the bill.
The law became effective Immediately
after the election in so far as the or
ganiZation of the commission was con-
cerned. The insurance features of
the Act, however, do not become op-
erative until July /, 1914.
The law provides for the creation
Of the Industrial Accident Fund, to
be made up by contributions from
employers. workmen and the state.
TWO classes of occupations are de-
fined in the Act and are designated
as classes A and B. In class A. the
rate of payment by the employer is
per cent and by the employee one
half of l per cent. In class B, the
employer pays / 1-2 per cent and the
employee one-fourth of / per cent. In
class A. both the employer and work
men are entitled to exemption when
the individual employer has to his
credit, 3 per cent of his annual pay
roll and no accidents have occurred
in his plant; while under class b, the
amount required to be maintained by
the employer in the accident fund Is
/ l-2 per cent of the pay roll.
The law is elective. both in its ap-
plication to the employer and en-
ployee. either of whom may elect to
come in or stay out but employers
in any of the hazardous occupations,
who elect not to take advantage of
the Act, are deprived of the common
law defenses Of contributory negli-
gence. fellow servant liability and as
sumption Of risk in any action for
damages by their employees. Work.
men who reject the Act lose the ben
efits provided.
schedule OF compensation for injured
workmen and for the beneficiaries Of
workmen who lose their livesa In in
dustrial accidents. The Act also pro-
yides for first aid to injured work.

how could local competition if we
should get it affect the situation very
strongly?
II is true however, that at times
fee wheat from Canada might have
an effect on the American market.
This might come about some time
when there was shortage for mill
ing purposes. Yet it is rule that
would work both ways and the Am
erican farmer might have more to
gain than to lose by such rule since
Canadian crops are more uncertain
than American yields.

Canadian Wheat. special story by
Hyman H. Cohen
on the subject of Canadian wheat. Mr..
Cohen takes the view that even should
Canadian wheat be admitted free the
fact would have little influence on the
northwest market
Thus far Canada has not taken the
necessary steps TO have Canadian
wheat admitted to the United States
free of duty. Under our new tariff
law Canadian wheat will be admitted
free to this country whenever Cam
ada removes her own duty on Ameri-
can wheat. This Canada has not yet
done. such action may never be TAX
en-. II will be remembered that when
the Canadians voted on the subject OF
reciprocity they turned ii down over
whelmingly. They were evidently
afraid that in competition with Am
erica they might suffer more than
they would gain.
Another element entering into the
subject is the fact the Canadian Pa
cific railroad may not desire to lose
the handling OF Canadian wheat and
such a condition OF affairs might
come about should the duty be re-
moved.
But as Mr.. Cohen points out. the
price OF wheat is fixed by the world
market rather than by regional con-
siderations. The bulk of our wheat

PRES. WILSON
IN HOT WATER

Washington, D. c., Dec. 22.-It
looks as though the action Of Presi-
dent Wilson in trying to force ere
cess" appointments down the throats
of the people, and his action in ap-
pointing postmasters who have al
ready been turned down by the senate
is going to cause him no end Of
trouble. The senate feel that their
rights have been cast aside, and many
senators are in an angry mood. Many
senator's declare that the president
will have to change his tactics along
this line if he expects to have the sup.
port Of the senate. Up to the present
time he has not signifed his wiling
ness to allow the senate to have its
|say, as he has persisted in appointing
several who have been rejected by
the senate. The outcome will ba
watched with much interest.

MILITARY
MEETING

Tuesday evening at the Commercial
club rooms there was quite an import
ant meeting held for the purpose of
encouraging the maintaining of Co.
M in this city. It seems that interest
in the militia has been on he wane
for some time and it was evident that
unless something was done the COM
pany would be mustered out. Presi-
dent Kelly called a meeting of the
club Tuesday evening, and along with
the soldier boys there was large mum
ber of citizens present, and some good
talks were given, among them by Ma
jor Roberts, Peter Haley and Silver
Serumgard. AS result of the meet
ing ten new members were enlisted in
the local company, and the prospects
are that there will be many more in
the near future.

SHOW
!. BY MAXWELL CO.

Sunday evening, December 12, there
was given most interesting moving
picture entertainment in the local
opera house. It was entitled "From
Iron Ore to Automobiles" and was
put on by the Maxwell Motor Car Co.
There was large crowd there to en-
joy this wonderful illustrated show,
and after it was over many. pro
nounced it the greatest thing of the
kind that they had ever witnessed. It
showed the different processes by
which crude iron ore was made into
steel, and then into automobiles. It
showed many of the great work shops
of the Maxwell company, and the thor
ough tests metal was given before the
auto is completed. These reels were
secured by the Maxwell people at an
enormous cost, and are used for ad-
vertising purposes to show the people
just what a Maxwell is made of and
the careful methods of testing and
fitting every part before finally turn
ing out the car. C. o. Russell, who is
distributor for the Maxwell in this
section of the state was instrumental
in having this show put on here.

WHAT HAPPENED
At THE GRAND

The first half Of the week was
pleasing treat to the patrons Of the
Grand Theatre. First nighters were
greeted by Walter Reynolds & Co.,
In one Of the most brilliant little
sketches Manager Miller has ever CIV
en- us, entitled '"The Mysterious Visit
Or" Mr.. Reynolds is an actor far
over and above the average and was
cleverly supported by his company.
The sketch was very timely, portray
ing a Christmas eve visit of the "mys-
terious visitor" to the home of his faith
er; it held an audience as well, and per
haps better than any sketch seen on
the local stage for many moons. The
stage settings wer complete and
the act in it's entirely showed finish in
every detail. Would that we could
have more such.
Manager Miller also offered "The
Pursuit of the Phantom" q master
piece in motion photography in five
reels. However for Christmas Day
Manager Miller has arranged to pre-
sent the stirring scenes Of Christian
Martyrdom in Rome during the reign
of the tyrant Nero. The play is a
staging Of the famous book "Quo
Vadis" and should fill the house to
capacity at each performance. ~
For Saturday, matinee and night,
the Grand offers Nine. Bertha Kalich

play is said to be one Of the best ever
produced by the Famous Players Film
Co., which is a guarantee Of some

As the vote was ordered on the
resolution itself, Hobson made final
dramatic move. "Mr. Speaker" he
said, ~ wish to ask whether any
member of this house who has
financial interest in the question
pending, owns stock in distilleries,
breweries, owns saloon, or property
leased to liquor interests, can, under
the rules, vote on this question
The speaker explained that prece-
dents held if member is affected as
one Of class, the rule can not pre-
cent his voting, but such questions are
usually left to the member himself.
Party Lines Wiped Out.
Party lines were wiped out in the
struggle. Democratic leader Under
wood and Republican Leader Mann,
fought shoulder to shoulder at the
head OF the forces opposing the reso-
luton. When the vote came, Of the
1877 standing for the resolution ia
were democrats and 68 republicans
II progressives and four Independent
republicans.
Prohibition leaders said the ma
jority for the resolution fulfilled thei
expectations, as they had not hopet
for two-thirds vote at present. Ad
ministraton leaders thought it un
likely tina q similar resolution
pending in the senate would reach .
vote at this session.
On the final vote 386 votes wer'
recorded. To carry It would requir'
