Settlement the First which was
piloted by John 3. Densmore.
Governor Ferris left the copper
country on Friday with any prospect
of a settlement as far in the future
as the day he arrived. And one cause
is to be given for the failure. That
cause is contained in sentence from
the lips of Attorney A. F. Rees. rep
resenting the mine owners, and de.
livered as part of his statement be
fore the governor.
That sentence is:
I'VE will never, on any considers
ton, either directly or indirectly, rec
ognize the Western Federation OF
Miners, nor go 50 far as to treat with
them"
Il want to go on record" said Gov
ernor Ferris, "at this time, as have
hundreds Of other times from the plat
form and otherwise, and state that |
am most emphatically in favor of the
organization of labor"
Charles H. Meyer. president Of the
Western Federation Of Miners, re-
turned to the copper country on
Thursday. He came to testify before
the grand jury as to his deportation
and shooting at the hands of men
whom he declares to have been from
the Citizens alliance on December 26.
The strike of copper miners called
July % was opposed by the officials OF
the Western Federation of Miners.
This was emphasized before Governor
Ferris on Wednesday by representa-
tives Of the union.

the state troops in the strike district
will be withdrawn January IL.

Political Events for 1914.

A varied assortment of political
events will make the year 1919
one of almost continued interest
From the beginning to the end OF
the coming year the series OF
political happenings viii be virtually
unending, and the effect will be thai
of vast political drama in which both
tragedy and comedy will have then
turns. Even now all the political
leaders are alive to the importance OF

ALLEGED eREEN-eooDs MEN.

z Dayton, O.-The Montgomery eoun-
ty grand jury returned indictments
against four alleged green goods
men. Their operations are said to
have been confined to wealthy farm
ers and the heaviest loser is Clarence
Michael, residing near Philipsburg.
The men usually employed an automo-
bile in their travels and their scheme
consisted in. having breakdown in
front of the home of their intended
victim. Taken into the house by the
sympathetic owner of the place, the
men usually became confidential. They
claimed they possessed stolen govern
ment plates and could make genuine
money which was offered at half the
real value.

permanent the maximum is $12 per
week for life; and for death, funeral
expenses, medicinal attention, a maxi
mum of $3.50, totaling about s4,100.
In all cases, unless sufficient rea-
son for other procedure is shown, the
payments are made in weekly sums,
thereby providing steady income for
the injured workman and his family.
Fewer Accidents Promised.
There is an incentive to the EN-
ployers to prevent accidents, as well
as for the men. Each employer is al
lowed 10 accidents for each 100000
ct his payroll. For every accident
over that number he pays per cent
penalty on his fees.
One manufacturer before coming
under the new law overhauled his
plant. His record had been up to that
time 40 accidents per year. The first
year under the law his record dropped
to -. His first years fee to the state
was $4,000 This year he is only
paying $4,000
Compensations are based on two
thirds of the employees earnings. The
minimum payment is SIS per week and
the maximum $12. The extent of the
injury governs the amount of the
award.
Schedule of Compensation.
For the loss of an index finger
two-thirds Of the earnings of the in
jured man are awarded for 35 weeks;
for loss of hand, the same amount is
awarded for $50 weeks; for an arm
two-thirds wages for 200 weeks; for a
leg, two-thirds wages for 175 weeks;
for total disability, two-thirds wages
for life.
Every injury is listed and provided
for in the schedule fixed by the law
In case of an injury resulting in death
the period of payment of two-thirds
wages shall be six years.
Under the old system the employer
paid high rates to liability insurance
companies and had to go through the
annoyance of defending suits in court
Now he will be free from both, for the
new law protects him from lawsuits
and the rates are 250 per cent lower
than he has been paying.

One Per Cent Limitation.

It is a truth that everybody admits
that little can be done in the way OF
spending very much more money un,
der present conditions. There can be
a good deal of redistribution and
equalization of funds, and the state
can give more aid to the poorer dis
tricts, but as for increasing to con
siderable extent the total amount that
is spent annually for school purposes
now, that is an entirely different prop
osition. The per cent tax limitation
law, for example, stands like stone
wall against any general increase =
