INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE
MEASURE is PASSED

ssteo one of the most spectacular
fights of the session. the senate passed
the subs itute Industrial insurance act
measure by a vote of u to 0. with SEN
ator Seaman not voting The bill was
not passed however. until practically all
the amendments favored by the contrib
utors to the fund had been attached to
the substitute.
Among the amendments adopted was
one increasing the waiting period TO
seven days. 1t had been fixed at fivS
days int he substitute bill. Another
amendment reduced the maximum ha-
oilitv in case of death or general dlsa-
biity from 1000 to $1,000 and reduced
tne maximum payment from 200 to lou
months. The amendment offered by the
exponentsyof organized labor to increase
the percentage of payment to 90 was
voted down. These We're the amend
ments over which the battle was wageo
beginning When the senate was called t.
rider, at which time Senator Seaman
offered a resolution resembling the ac
lion of the senate in adopting the sub
stitute bill.

This accident to Lloyd will probably
lay him up for several weeks and it may
be some tims before he will be able to

this is the third time that the same
shoulder has been put out of commission
in like contests.
The Phoebe Athletic club certainly did
itself proud in presenting this card to
the fans of Phoebe and we hope that
every now and again like contests will
be put on. which will be enjoyed by the
