were accepted by the Massachusetts

PASS COMPENSATION LAW

Oklahoma.-Th state legislature, in
its closing days, passed workmen' S
compensation bill. The most import
ant feature of the new enactment is its
compulsory provision. The law will
be administered by an industrial COM
mission. Unionists attempted to in
clude the state insurance feature, SINH

that one OF the first amendments pre-

VetOs Direct Legislation

Salt Lake City, Utah-Governor
Spry has vetoed the initiative and ref
erendum law, passed by the last leg
islature, on the ground that it "is
wholly unnecessary, since the peo-
pie of this state, if they desire any
measure of general nature enacted
into law, may petition the legislature
to have such passed" Objection is
also made to provision which, the
governor claims, would give the SUI.
preme court powers not intended by
the state constitution. Many friends
OF direct legislation point to the re-
strictions thrown around the vetoed
bill that would make its effectiveness
almost nil. They intimate the act
really did not provide for direct leg
islation. Il

Dear Sir:
At meeting of this organization
held last evening. there were passed
resolutions, unanimously asking you
to veto the Workman's Compensation
Bill which was passed by the Thir-
teenth Session of the Idaho Legisla-
ture. for reasons that it is unjust and
unfair in so far that it will place a bar
rier against the American citizen with
"a family. making it an incentive for
employers to hire aliens to the ex-
clusion of our citizen laborer.
The schedule of losses which are
found on pages 80 to AZ are entirely
inadequate and not in proportion to
the payment for loss of life or total
disability, we therefore urgently re-
quest that you with hold your execu-
tive approval.
Tt was also resolved that you be re-
quested to give your approval to Sen
ate Bill l24, which will abolish private
employment agencies. this is meas
ure which we have been trying for for
a number of years.
Respectfully yours,

Since the above article was in type,

tions:
Whereas, during the last legis-
lature an act was passed known as
the 'worhmen's compensation act
having been prepared by commits
sion appointed for that purpose. and
Whereas, said act as passed was
grossly deficient in its provisions as
to compensation for death or injury
and also contained provisions which
would have operated greatly to the
detriment of American citizens in OBJ
tanning employment with the large
corporations. and
Whereas, the governor Of this state
granted the requests Of labor by
yetoing said act; therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Boise Trades and
Labor council desires to record its

City to Aid the Children

Philadelphia = spperintenrent of
Schools Jacobs denies the claim of
child labor law opponents that this
city is not prepared to take up the
work of educating children forced into
the school room if the state legis-i
lature passes the child labor law now
before it.
Those who state that the estab-
lishment of continuation between "a
and 10 years old, is not practical, are
either not eonversant with the situ-
tion of this city, or are maliciouslyS
distorting the true facts. Every di-
rector of education here is absolute-
ly in favor of the bill" said the super-T
intendent.

No New Jersey COssacs

Trenton--There will be no state
constabuiary created in New Jersey
this year at least, for the trade union
lists have defeated the proposal to es-
tablish the vicious cossack system
now in vogue in Pennsylvania.
No bill has aroused workers more
than this. proposal of Senator Ramsey,
and every member Of the state senate
has heard from his constituents, who
voiced their views in no uncertain
terms. This agitation proved effective,
and the bill was defeated by the mar
row margin Of one vote.

The Gem Worker Is receiving the
loyal support of the Boise Labor
Unions, who regard it as their
paper, and the Members of the
Unions are very keen to appreciate
those who patronize the paper and
who invite the trade of organized
labor through its columns. This
makes The Gem Worker a most
splendid advertising medium. Try
it for short time and watch the
results.

The Gem Worker goes to more
homes in Idaho than any other
labor paper that was ever published
IN this State. And it goes to more
homes each week than it did the
week before. This makes it of in
creasing value as an advertising
medium, fact which is becoming
more and more recognized bv the
business men OF Boise.
