Unfortunate Employee In Town Can
Reject Compensation Law Ae-
eordIns TO Ruling by
Secretary.
KEEPS PREVIOUS RIGHT
II Man With One leg insists on Pro
lection He May be Discharged
According to tho
Ruling.

Workmen in Iowa who are not In
surable may retain their Jobs by
formally rejecting the workmen'
compensation law, thus retaining, as
between themselves and their employ
ers, the status which existed prior to
the passage OF the new law, says q
Des Moines dispatch.
This may be done. and probably
will be done, in a large number OF
cases, as for instance, where work
man, otherwise sound, has lost an eye
or an arm or leg and is IN danger
of losing the other one. During the
past few days a number Of Des Moines
employees have been calling on the
commission in almost panic because
Of intimation by their employers they
will have to seek other employment
because Of not being desirable risks
for the companies. The trouble is
that the loss of second member
creates total disability, the compen-
sation for which is very great. EN-
ployers do not want to take the risk
II that is to be the Interpretation OF
the law. They would prefer to dis
charge the partially disabled em-
ployes.

Interpreted Literally.

"The tendency in the states where
this law has been in force some
time" said Secretary Given. SIS to re-
gard the loss Of second member as
a vital disability and to treat the
matter as If both members We're lost
at once. But they may not be the
proper Interpretation. In fact 1t may
be argued that the law never contem-
plated any such situation, and, for In
stance, the loss Of an arm. where the
other had been long previously lost
might be regarded as the same as
loss of one arm, where the other re-
NAMED. The rulings are not final.
But, If that is the rule, then simple
way out is found by having the en-
ploye reject the law"
DO you understand the employe as
we'll as the employer has the right OF
rejection OF the law"
"By inference, at least, that is true;
and 1 am OF the opinion that an en-
ploye can save to himself all the
rights he previously possessed by nj
ing a rejection of the law. He must,
Of course, make It clear that this is
entirely without coercion and is vol
untary on his part. BY so doing 1t
would seem that he retains his rights
as before the law went into effect.
And the employees as whole have
more to gain by such rejection than
they would have by insisting on the
protection Of the law and losing their
places"
The problem which has come before
the commission in this way, largely
by reason of questions from different
parts of the state, is one OF the most
serious yet to be presented. But the
commissioner has made no ruling nor
announced any conclusion on the mat
ter. It is matter open for discus
sion and consideration.

the naming Of an acting mayor" and
such a procedure would consequently
be illegal.

OTTUMWA, Iowa, July S.-The two
Keokuk players survived yesterday
playing and are still in the running
for the honors at the Iowa Golf asso-
citation tournament here. Matless and
Sheldon both won over their oppon-
ents in the championship fight. The
real surprise Of the day was the elm
nation of Don Newburn Of Des Moines
who on Monday made record for the
local course. Harry Bellamy Of Des
Moines put the record maker out OF
the running.
Match play in the three flights OF
the state golf tourney began at the
Country club links this morning.
There are sixteen pairs in each fight
and they started off much at their
own convenience, the championship
contenders having preference.
Despite the fact that each player is
billed to play thirty-six holes during
the day, the start was not as early as
was the case on the two qualifying
days. 1t required some time for the
various opponents to locate each 9TH
er and arrange their time Of playing.
The prospects are that for the nrst
time play will extend past the supper
hour, although If the matches turn
out to be fairly one sided, they may be
finished at the usual time.

Course 10 Excellent.

Course 10 Excellent.
The course was in excellent shape
today and there was reason to believe
that some Of the good scores that
were made during the practice days
preceding the tournament would be
duplicated though there seemed little
chance that a new course record
would be established. The sun was
out full force but the atmosphere was
not as oppressive as on Tuesday and
the players did not suffer as much
from the heat.
Half of the matches in the champ
fonsnip flight were finished before
dinner and many more were nearing
the end. Local men were winners of
the first two pairs to report. r. :.
Smith having eliminated Judge K.
Benson of Dubuque two up one to play
and Cowles taking w. X. Groves Of
Des Moines into camp by margin
|of four up three to go.
Local Men Strong.
Smith played great golf, going both
rounds under DOGGY and playing con-
sistent golf all the time. Benson made
him hustle for every hole and might
have prolonged the play to the last
hole and had it not been for stymie
laid by Smith on the "doughnut" as
the eighth hole is known. The Judge
tried his best to jump over Smiths
ball and get half Of the hole. He
came mighty close to doing 1t too,
trimming the cup on his try but fail
ing to go down. Smith holed out and
the match was over.
Nelson Cowles trimmed Groves by
steadier playing, the local golfer max
ing every shot count all the way
great danger Of losing his match.
Bartlett Wins Easily.
Art Bartlett won easily from Miller
by four up three TO go; and Dwight
Baker sprang the surprise of the
morning when he defeated Kenneth
Lindsey Of Cedar Rapids one up.
Baker was four down at the end of
the first seven holes, having got into
trouble on nearly every hole. After
that, however, he displayed wonder
full comeback ability and not only
evened up the count but took the lead
and narrowly missed holing out a
three on the last hole for two up.
J. L. Powers Of Cedar Rapids elm
mated Frank Racine of the local club
by six up five to go. Powers though
a youngster Is one Of the steadiest and
surest players on the course but at
that Racine gave him much closer
battle than the final count indicates.
Newburn Eliminated.
Another surprise of the morning
was the elimination Of Don Newburn
Of Des Moines who Monday establish
ed the course record of rs. Harry

Germany's UhIans,

The uhlan hussar was borrowed from
the Polish military system. Uhlan
ear simply lancer. Hussar is a word
that comes from the language Of the
Hungarians, meaning twenty. 1t com
memorates the time when every group
of twenty men in the kingdom was re-
quired to furnish n cavalryman. So
it means the representative Of twenty
men. The word dates from the time of
Matthias Corvinus. when in national
Hungarian levies every twenty men
had to furnish one fully equipped
horseman. who. in accordance with the
fact. was called "%hussar.''. -
