THE failure of state ownership is

The Swiss and italian railways have

in both states the first. effort of adj

Accommodations, and construct Inn

investments for improvements, the
Swiss toff1cials say that there were
only two years when the railways did

WASHINGTON, June 4.-President
Gompers has resigned from the Amer
ican Association for Labor Legislation
because OF that organizations activity
in securing the passage Of the Spring
bill in the New York legislature,
which abolished the state department
Of labor and placed it, together with
the workmen's compensation commits
sion, in control of the newly created
industrial commission.
In his letter to the association s
officers President. Gompers says that
the action of the association has
weakened the effectiveness of both
departments and that the influence of
the association was used Ito fasten
upon the workers policies which they
had emphatically opposed"
Criticises Medlers.
The unionist declares that 'the
wage earners welcome counsel and
| aid, but they deny the right of any
one or any group of Individuals to
dictate measures which vitality con-
Germ the industrial welfare of the
workers. The Wage-earners of the
United States deny the right of any
man or any association to despotism
whether political, industrial, or intel
lectual. We . are endeavoring to
achieve our freedom and cannot co.
operate with those whose aim is des-
potism,. even tor a. benevolent pur.
pose.'
President Gompers notified the New
York Central Federated Union that
he indorsed their action in asking all
members of organized labor to with.
draw from all corporation and affili-
alton with the American Association
for Labor Legislation.

speech of former: President Will
liam H. Taft in criticism of the
leaders Of organized labor at the
annual banquet Of the association
in, New York.
"There is nothing new in Mr..
Taft s criticism, ~ continued Mr..
Gompers. ''He said the same
things last September; and [ re-
piled to them then. He has not
changed his mind since, because
he has done no new thinking on
the subject. His mind has not
changed since the time when he
was making laws as judge on
the federal bench in opposition
to working men.
1T is a pity that a forme,
1 president off~7thiy3 COUNTRY should
spend his declmiaH, years in the
I service Of the discredited Manu-
facturers' association.
Frank Morrison, secretary o1
| the American Federation of La.
Dor, contented hims self with the
! following sentence:
"This statement Of Mr.. Taft is
entirely in accord with his anti
labor policy while ON the federal
bench and while president Of the
United States.'

LONG FIGHT FOR LAW

Finally Passed BY
Legislature.
AGITATION ROUTS
: LOBBYISTS AGAINST BILL
r.
New Law Effective-People Will
Vote on Compulsory Consti-
tutional Amendment.

HARRISBURG, Pa, June "A
worknen's compensation act was
passed in the closing hours OF the
state legislature, again proving organ
lied labor's claim that constant agita-
ton will bring success.
For many years the trade union
movement has demanded this legis-
lation. which has been resisted by the
mining. railroad and other corpora
tions. The defeat of these forces
was complete and the bill, together
with supplemental measures, were
passed unanimously by the senate, as
opponents realized the folly of fur
ther opposition and recorded them
selves as friends of labor The leg-
islation was quickly concurred in by
the house, where it had to be passed
upon the second time because Of slight
amendments.
An Added Point.
AS an additional notification to COR
poration lobbyists that the people
voice was heard, the senate approved
a conference committee report on the
Catlin bill to bring anthracite miners
under the compensation system. This
bill was fought by coal onerators, who
Fl insisted that because the state issued
certificates to mine foreman they were
relieved of any obligation.
The workmen's compensation bills
are seven in number. One is the gen.
eral measure covering the subject OF
workmens compensation, one pro-
vides for It's administration, one cre-
ates a state insurance fund.- two relate
to liability and mutual insurance., one
exempts domestic servants and agr1-
cultural workers and the seventh is
the constitutional amendment permit
ting a compulsory compensation law,
as the present proposed law is elec-
tive. The main bill provides that the
act shall apply to all accidents occur
ing within the state, irrespective OF
the placo where the contract OF hiring
was male. g. -
$4,000 Named as Maximum.
Compensation for total disability
shall not exceed $4,000, to be paid
during the first 500 weeks after the
fourteenth day at a rate of not more
than $40 a week nor less than st
week.
Partial disability payments shall be
on the basis Of so per cent. to run
not longer than 800 weeks. Payments
shall not exceed $40 a week. Com
pensation to alien dependent widows
and children not residents of the
United States shall be two-thirds OF
the amount provided in each case fol
residents.
