COMPENSATION LAW
GROWS IN POPULARITY
Thirty-0ne States and Two Terri
tories Now Have Workmen's
Relief Statute.

Rapid growth in the idea of compen-
sation for workmen is noted by the
bureau of labor statistics in a publica-
tion today dealing with the compensa-
tion laws of 1914 and 1915 Many
changes in old laws are noted, and in
general they are of liberalizing char
acter. either including new disabilit'e es,
as occupational diseases, or increasing
the disability allowances, or introduc-
ing other details. Some of the new laws
provide for the prevention of acci-
dents.
The legislation of the year 1914 in
cluded three states-Kentucky, Louis
lana and Maryland. One of these laws,
that of Kentucky, was declared uncon-
stitutional before il came into opera
tion- That of Maryland superseded an
earlier statute reported as unwork-
able. The new laws of 1915 cover eight
states-Colorado. Indiana, Maine, Mon
tana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania. Vermont
and Wyoming, besides the territories
Of Alaska and Hawaii. The legislation
Of 1914 included also a presidential or
der providing a compensation system
for employees of the Panama canal and
the Panama railroad, while that Of the
current year includes a similar order
extending the federal compensation act
about the government railway in Alas
ka- With the legislation of these two
years, thirty-one states and the terri
tories Of Alaska and Hawaii now have
compensation laws. A federal statute
covers also about one fourth of the
civilian employees of the United States.
All of this legislation has been enacted
since 1908, and practically all of the
existing Legislation in the states since
1910.

SIX PERSONS PERISHED
WHEN PORT SAID SANK
italian Liner Reported to Have Been
Destroyed by Austrian
Submarine.

MILAN, via Paris, December 27-A
Tripoli dispatch to the Seccolo says
that the Italian liner Port Said has
been sunk by a submarine flying the
Austrian colors. Six passengers and
one member of the crew perished. The
rest were saved.
An Italian destroyer chased and
shelled the submarine, which was of
large dimensions. Although believed
to be hit, the submarine was able to
plunge and disappeared. The destroyer
then turned her attention to small
Greek liner, witness to the engage
ment. and a visit to this vessel led to
the suspicion that she was in conniv-
ance with the Austrian.
After rescuing the survivors of the
Port Said the destroyer took the sus-
pected liner into Derna for strict
search on the belief that she has been
engaged in supplying enemy subma-
rines.

Comparative Figures in Report
Issued Today.

Review of price fluctuations of vari-
Gus commodities during 1914. and COM
parative figures for the previous year,
are contained in report issued today
by the bureau of labor statistics.
AS measured by the aggregate value
in exchange of $40 representative COM
modities. prices were nearly one per
cent lower in 1914 than in 1913. In
each of four groups. viz, cloths and
clothing. fuel and lighting. metals and
metal products and lumber and build
ing materials. more than half of the
commodities decreased in price from
1913 to 1914. Decided decreases occur
red in the yearly average prices of cot
ton yarns, print cloths, storm serge,
Silician cloth. worsted yarns. coke. gas
oline. crude petroleum. bar iron, copper
ingot, sheet copper. copper wire. iron

quicksilver. linseed oil, turpentine and
few other articles in the four groups
named.
Fluctuations of Farm Products.
The most marked fluctuations during
1914 occurred in the prices of articles
belonging to the farm products, food,
metals and fuel and lighting groups.
Farm products increased in price from
January. to. August, after which they
steadily declined until the end of the
year. In the food group prices were
lowest in March, April and May, in
creasing to their maximum in Septem-
Der, while in the metals and metal
products group, and also in that of fuel
and lighting, prices were highest in
the first three months of the year and
lowest in the last three. Drugs and
chemicals were lowest during the first
eight months and highest during the
last four months of the year. In the
remaining groups, taken as whole,
ing the earlier part and a falling tend
ency during the latter part of 1914
The report shows that violent f1uc-
tuations took place during 1914 in the
prices of many commodities. particu-
larly foodstuffs. Comparing the low
est with the highest average monthly
price within the year for those arti-
cles showing a net increase, it is seen
that granulated sugar varied SO per

cent: alum. 81 per cent; glycerin, 81
per cent: wheat in Minneapolis. SO per

Please remember that when a
merchant carries your account he
really lends you money without
any security, and in return he has
to pay men or go out and work
hard to collect that money. Now
this should not be. If you want
to borrow money to buy things
that you want and do not want,
why do you not go to the bank
and get the money? When mer-
chant is good enough to trast you
with his goods-which is money
pay him promtly, so he can pay
those to whom he is indebted. -
