COMPENSATION ACT.
Working Havoc To Those Discharged By Employees Who Will Not Incur Liability

The far reaching effect of the work
 mems compensation act and the hard
 ship that it is working as concerns
 some people is indicated by inquiries
 being made at the office of Town Clerk
 David Flagg. Several persons have
 been to him to learn how they can take
 themselves out from under the act; to
 arrange so they can sacrifice compen-
 sation rights and risk life and limb
 that they may be able to hold their
 work. These people have been dis
 charged by their employers because
 the latter say they cannot afford to
 pay the compensation insurance rates, and in some instances because the
 employers, being able to pay the in surance, will not do so, discharging their help instead. Some of the men who have inquired of the town clerk
 are woodchoppers and as their occu-
 patton is considered an extra hazard : ous one the rates, even the minimum 1 ones, are so high as to cause their em- ployers to refuse to insure them, dis charging them instead.
 Another class of workers that will feel the bad effects of the compensa- tion act are farm laborers. Town Clerk F1agg said Saturday afternoon that several farmers have been to him relative 10 the compensation act and have made various objections to it. Some of them say that rather than hire help without protecting them with compensation insurance. which they cannot afford, they will employ no 1 one and will do no more work on their farms in the way of filling for pro- 1 duction of crops than they can person ally take care of
 Workingmen hereab bouts who are los ! ing their jobs because of the compen- ] sation act can i'll afford to be idle. They have no surplus funds, but in in l stances have families that depend aI-
 most entirely on the father for support l Many Non- Resident Members. | A recent examination of the records
 of the Congregational church of this 1 city has revealed the interesting fact l that nearly quarter of the mem = 1 bership is nonresident at the present 1 time Many reasons exist why mem- 1 bers that have gone away retain their
 attilfation with the local church, which 1 however, willingly grants letters o1 i admission to other churches when ] members desire.
