WORKMENS ACT
GETTING RESULTS
Wisconsin Pleased With Its
New Compensation Law.
LABORERS ARE BENEFITED.

PERSONS Hurt Get More Money From
Corporations Than Formerly-Com-
panies' Expenses Decreased by EIimi-
mating MiddIeman - 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 n 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
cidents, which heretofore have been
quite accurately reported, a 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 n month 553 accident cases
were settled under the compensation
law. This was at the rate of G,636
cases a year. The cost per case on the
average. excluding medical and hos
pital charges. was $62.S9. Applying
the same cost per case to the 6.63G
cases, it amounts to SALT ,374 as the
total cost a 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
1913. Indemnity is paid only in cases
where disability extends beyond the
seventh day, while medical attendance
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
it cost the employers three times as
much as under the old system. Under
that system the injured workmen did
not receive more than % 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 % 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 cen higher
than under limited coverage.
In addition to the foregoing, 11S cases
Of accidents were settled against the
state and municipalities at a cost of
$50, 942.
The cost of administration of the
compensation act by the commission
for the year 1913 did not exceed $4,000.
The saving In costs Of litigation to
counties Is safely estimated at over
500, 900.

NITRATE OF SODA PRICES.
w. w. Long Warns Farmers of the
State.

Columbia. June 16.-South Caro-
lima farmers should avoid rushing
into contracts for nitrate of soda to
be delivered in 1915. according 10 W.
w. Long. State agent, who was in Co.
lumbia yesterday.
II have received" he said, "a num-
Der of letters from farmers stating
that dealers were Offering them con-
tracts for the purchase of nitrate Of
soda for next years delivery at So a
ton less than last spring prices. They
nave requested me to advise them
just what to do in this matter.
Il am not in n position to know
anything more than they do, but it
strikes me that l should be very
loath to enter into a contract at this
time for the purchase of nitrate of
soda to be delivered next spring in
face of the fact that the Panama ca.
nal Will be opened the latter part of
this year or the first of next and that
the nitrate Of soda mines Of Chill
Will be about 5000 miles nearer to us
than at the present time. The trc-
mendous saving i'm ocean freight will
necessarily mean a considerable re.
duction In the price of nitrate of
soda.
Tho very fact that the dealers are
so anxious at this time. which is very
unusual to say the least, to make
contracts naturally makes one be-
lieve that there Is q negro i'm the
wood pile somewhere.

AGRICULTURE N THE SCHOOLS
PRACTICAL COURsI' GIVEN IN
FARM METHODS.
w. w. Long. State Agent, Discusses
Demonstration Work In South Car
Olina,

Columbia, June ia practical
course in agriculture Is being given
tho public school children in South
Carolina. 1t is possible for boy or
girl who can not afford to attend an
agricultural school to get three years
OF soil building and crop rotation, two
years Of animal husbandry, and a
year Of study OF plant diseases and
insect pests.
w. w. Long. State agent of the
United States farm demonstration
work, who was in Columbia yester-
day. spoke enthusiastically of the
work.
AT the present time." said Mr..
Long, farm demonstration work is
being carried on in connection with
143 schools in this State. Each school
Is visited by the county farm Demon
stratiOn agent for the purpose Of TAX
ing the children on the plots and
teaching them in a practical way the
principles Of soil building. the home
mixing Of fertilizers, cultural methods,
and in the fall, seed selection.
I'm every case where the teacher
has taken an interest the work has
been eminently successful. The fact
that the children have the lesson
written ON the ground rather than
In text books aroused interest that
Is not very difficult to maintain. In
some Of the schools the agents have
been so successful that rs per cent
Of the children not only can figure out
fertilizer formulas but seem to have
an intelligent idea of the effect of
the different plant foods.
1T was my good fortune to be able
to visit some Of these schools during
the spring months and to have the
children out on the plots covered with
vetch and clover. 1t was Of the
greatest interest to see the little fel.

. few minutes before the news Of the

CHECK
Which Mr.. Parker CaShGd
Was Worthless
Man Worked The Same Game
On Other Merchants

Local merchants should be very
wary of cashing checks for strangers
during the holiday season as result
Of an experience of Mr.. Edward l..
Parker.
Last Saturday evening young
man, representing himself as farm.
er and attired as such, entered the
Parker shoe store on South Main
street and asked ''Piney" to cash
check for him in the sum of S27.50.
The check was made payable to
Charles Smith" and was signed by
Mr.. Ebo Schipper who is partner IN
the celery farm, west of the city.
Knowing Mr.. Schipper, "Piney" will
ingly cashed the check.
Later in the evening, he cashed the
check at the New Knox, on which
bank it was drawn and where Mr..
Schipper had an account. On Mon
day, an official of the New Knox
called up Mr.. Parker and informed
him that the check was worthless.
Mr.. Parker secured Mr.. Schipper and
the two went to Chief of Police Park
er.
Schipper denied ever having signed
the check and represented that he
did not know the Charles Smith," to
whom it was made payable. Howev-
er, for reasons satisfactory to him
self, he agreed to make good the am
cunt to MIR. Parker and the same was
done.
On Tuesday, the same kind of a
check, bearing the same names. was
cashed by another shoe merchant in
the city, only for a smaller amount
500. This latter was presented at
the First National bank and cleared
later at the New Knox. The check
was pronounced worthless and re-
turned to the merchant. Mr.. Schip-
per, who is only in moderate circum-
stances, did not feel called upon to
make restitution for series of bad

used, so the check is still in the
hands of the merchant.
It is understood that still another
merchant was "stung" for much
larger amount. The rush of the
Christmas season and the willingness
to oblige all customers opens up q
means to forgers of obtaining money
and Main street merchants will be
very much on the lookout to prevent
a duplication of the experiences cited
above.
