Says New Law Has Many Flaws.

What he considers flaws in
the workingmen's compensation law,
recently enacted by the state
legislature, were pointed out in an ad-
dress by F. Robertson Jones, Of New
York, secretary of the workingmen's
compensation Service bureau, at the
annual meeting of the Kentucky Manu-
facturers and Shippers association in
the Henry Watterson hotel, Louisville,
Ky. Mr.. Jones advised all employers
who decided they were eligible to
come under the act to do so, and urged
the men to carry their own risks or
to insure in liability company rather
than in the state fund.
"All the bad risks will insure in the
state fund the first year." he said, "as
the maximum premium of $l.25 is
much lower than they can get in a
private company. The probability
therefore, is that the fund will not be
sufficient to pay the losses. The EN-
ployer is protected and the state is in
no way liable, therefore, the injured
employee will lose"

Say Americans Aid Villa.

He charges, further that the United
States furnished soldiers to aid Villa
in his attack on Torreon, saying he
has names of 200 Americans killed or
wounded in that battle. He claims TO
have regimental buttons taken from
the uniforms on bodies Of the slain
at Gomez Palacios to prove this asser-
lion. He contends that America really
is the revolutionist cause, the United
States affording asylum TO assassins
and plotters who seek his ruin.
Members of the diplomatic corps
are genuinely alarmed over the con-
ditions in Mexico City, where looting,
outrage and murder await only a sig
nal to sweep through the city.
General Zapata and 5000 of his
rebels are hammering at the gates OF
the capital. Whether he will meet
real resistance or welcome by Huer-
ta's troops is an open question. The
result to foreigners will be the same
in either case. Lawlessness will pre-
vail and blood lust will be stated.
Sharp criticism is heard because the
United States has no means OF check
ing such condition. Foreign powers
place the responsibility of preserving
order and protecting life on the Unit
ed States-a task considered impos-
sible because of lack Of force at or
