Many Refugees in Holland.

London, Oct. 12.-Belgium refu-
gees in Holland number 6OO,O 900. ac-
cording to the correspondent at The
Hague of the Exchange Telegraph.
"The Dutch authorities are greatly
embarrassed by the incessant stream
of refugees" adds the correspond.
ent. Thousands are forced to wait
on the railroads for transportation.
The Dutch government probably will
take steps jointly with the German
government for the speedy return
of the refugees.
"The Germans have pushed up from
Antwerp and are occupying villages
in the direction Of the Dutch from
tier, forcing the inhabitants to flee
into Holland, according to the Roose-
daal (Holland) correspondent of The
Weekly Dispatch. Towns near the
frontier have been forced to close
the gates, owing to their inability to
receive more refugees"
A Reuter- message from Amster-
dam says:
"A telegram sent Saturday from
Bargen- Op-Zoon "a Dutch town near
the Belgian border) states that two
German officers arrived yesterday in
a motor car at the frontier town of
Putten, Holland. The officers in.
formed the Dutch commander there
that Antwerp was now under Ger
man administration and asked him
to induce refugees to return to their
homes. Many who had fled complied
with this request"
Scenes ON all the roads Of Bel
gium for weeks past must be added,
then multiplied twenty fold, to re-
semble the spectacle on the roads
to Holland during the last two days"
says the Rotterdam correspondent of
the Times in a dispatch to his pa
per. Hardly any migration in the
history of the Israelites, Kalmucks
or Tartars can have equaled It.
Besides the exodus by the roads
to Holland, saw a crowd estimated
at 100000 blocking the ferry pom
toon tat Antwerp on their way to
get trains for St Nicholas and Ghent.
No less wonderful was the scene on
the river, where all Thursday craft
Of every description slipped down
stream, loaded with human freight.
At dusk, by the light Of burning
oil tanks, the civic guard sank six
lighters to block the entrance to the
inner basin. In the city the Bel

serviceable to the enemy.
Some Of the heaviest firing heard
during the entire bombardment of
Antwerp occurred Thursday night.

Even allowing for these advantages, it
may still prove that New York employers
are at some disadvantage in competition
with employers in other states without,
or with less liberal, compensation laws.
The remedy for this situation is to induce
other states to adopt scales of compensa-
ton like that of the New York law. For
this scale is none too high from the point
of view OF the needs of wage earners and
their families. Two-thrds of the usual

which range from Sl2 to SIS week, is only

compensation.
The wage earners Of New York have
every reason TO be satisfied with this scale
Of compensation. II is more liberal than
that provided by any other American
compensation act But is il not higher
than employers can fairly be required 10
pay? Employers who make this objection
should consider the substantial advah-
tages which they. too. gain by the new
system. First among these is their protec-
ton from suits for damages and the in
creasingly heavy verdicts often resulting
frcm such suits In exchange for their
assured compensation the law requires
wage earners TO forego their rights to
other remedies. Damage suits and the
heavy costs and bitter hostility between
employers and employees 10 which they
necessarily give rise are done away with.
Under the system employer and employe
will work together in helpful cooperation,
guided by the state commission. to mini
mlze the losses due TO industrial injuries.
The new system may cost the employer
more, but the better relations with his
employees, which must result from II,
should go far 10 compensate him for the
added expense.
