I read, with some interest and an
equal degree of surprise, the first ed
itorial in "The Labor World" Of jan
uary End, 1915, wherein you call at
tention to the fact that I made trip
to Winnipeg, and while you do not
state the fact you undoubtedly attempt
to draw the inference that the facts
which L. ascertained while at Winnipeg
were procured by me from a preju-
diced source.
AS you have always been fair in

to tell you, concerning the source
of my information. = 4

MADE STRONGER
Several Interesting Additions
Made To Ohio Law By
Commission.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. s.-The
state industrial commission has made
the following interesting rulings in
cases where workers are entitled to
relief under the compensation law:
When bitten by a dog while in the
course of employment. After quit
ing regular work and injured while
on way to paymaster's desk to
draw money. Foreman while on
duty shot by a discharged employe.
Common-law wife is entitled to COM
pensation in case Of death Of her
common law husband. Apoplexy
superinduced by over-exertion, is
cause for compensation. Quitting
work a minute before time to change
clothes and playfully injured by a.
fellow-Workman. Assaulted and kill
ed by another while in course Of en-
ployment. Death from another cause
does not abate claim for compensa-
ton for previous injury. A night
Waterman killed Immediately on his
arrival on the premises Of his en-
ployers. Heat prostration while in
the course of employment is an injury
which is compensatible.

TOLEDO PAPER
SCORES PROFESSOR
Cleveland Anti Union School
Board Characterized AS
''Boneheaded."

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. 9.-The News
Bee Of this city makes editorial COM
ment on Superintendent Frederick of
the Cleveland public schools, who was
fined and sentenced to jail for deny
ing teachers the right to organize. Re-
Gently Frederick was defeated in the
state supreme court, and the paper
says:
Frederick, backed by a bone-head
board, for years has fought to hold
his teaching body, under vise-like dis
cipline. He fought the teachers
right to have say in the business
side Of their work. They were to do
as they were told, to take what they
were given and be grateful.
when they formed q union to give
strength to a battle they couldn't win
separately, he deliberately broke the
law by marking the leaders, for dis
missal, though in point of competence
they were among the best teachers on
the staff.
Mot only so; but after a judge, by
injunction, had revealed to him the
laws intent, he still defied it and
f1outed the court, as we'll.
conduct like this forbids sympathy
and requires drastic action. The use
of official power to tyrannize over the
weak is the crime of crimes among a
people who value freedom"
