BUCKEYE EMPLOYERS
ACCEPT STATE PLAN
I
At First Balk At State Insurance.
Now They Believe It
Good Thing.

COLUMBUS, O., March 6.-Em-
ployers in this state are accepting the
new workmen's compensation act.
Figures show that 1881 employing
507,350 workers, are now subscribers
to the state insuance fund. Their total
contributions to date amount to near
ly 100000, one-haf Of which has
been received since the first of thu
year.
The employers who have decided
to carry their own insurance number
537. These are large employers, and
many of them, the board reports,
maintain safety and first-aid-to-the
injured organizations. Under the law
an employer can provide his own in
surance with the consent of the state
board.
It is estimated that there are about
$4,000 employers, subject to the CON-
pensation act, who have not yet either
subscribed to the fund or made ar
rangements to carry their own risks,
but under the provisions of the law,
the employers of such defaulting en-
in the event of their injury or death,
the amount of compensation due them
may be determined by the industrial
commission and recovered from the
employer by civil action, with an add
ed penalty of so per cent, or, if the
injured employe desires, he may main
tain a. civil action directly against his
employer for damages and the en-
ployer is not entitled to the usual COM
mon law defenses.

SHQLUND LOSES OUT
Judge Cutting Declares Saloon
License Has Been Revoked.
Eases Up On Fine.
KANGAROO COURT" IS
GIVEN GOOD. LESSON
Saloon Case Shows That it Will
Pay City Commissioners to
Be Cautious and Just.

Sholund, the saloonkeeper who lost
his license by revocation last week
and before the case against him was
brought to trial in municipal court,
has had an exciting experience this
week. Upon advise Of counsel he ap-
pealed to the supreme court and was
granted writ Of certiorari by JUS
tice Bum, which he thought restored
his license until the court could have
an opportunity to pass upon the
charge that he was not given fair
trial by the commission when his Ii
cense was revoked.
Sholund opened up his saloon and
did record breaking business until
two of Commissioner Hicken's police
men pounced down upon him, and his
bartender was arrested for selling IL
quor without a license. Judge Cut
! ting took the case under advisement
and finally held that Sholund had 40
license. The bartender was fined $50
| and costs. This probably ends the
matter. Sholund is out.
While the experience has cost Sho-
| lund some money, it ought also teach
the commissioners a wholesome les
son. The municipal court does not
daily very long with cases coming be-
fore it. The commission can afford
to wait until after accused saloon
violators shall have had a trial. Some
times there may be eXtenuating cir.

which may develop during the trial

brought directly on a demurrer by the
street railway company on the ground
that settlement was provided under
the provisions of the act passed by
the last legislature, which became a
law II days, before Mathison was in

The principal attacks on the law
outlined by Mr.. Duxbury were that 1t
was class legislation, that it did not
provide equal protection to all work
men guaranteed by. the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution, tina,
the measure Of damages scheduled in
