COMPENSATION IN OHIO.
State Guarantees Payments and Law
Satisfies Capital and Labor.

State Guarantees Payments and Law
Satisfies Capital and Labor
The Ohio workmen's compensation
law is not the work OF day 1t is an
evolution-a development from early
experiments and while it Is highly
satisfactory to both employers and en-
ployees in its present form, efforts are
being made to further improve 1t with
a clause providing that 1t shall be alb
solutely compulsory.
At present the injured workman may
elect whether he accept indemnity un-
der this particular statute or bring a
suit at law in the old way.
Ohio has progressed rapidly. The
first law of any sort looking to the au-
tomato compensation Of workmen was
passed in 1911. 1t was elective and
created a state liability board of
awards. In 1913 an act commonly
known as the compulsory workmen's s
compensation law superseded the act
OF 1911, and the name of the board
was changed to the industrial commits
sion of Ohio The whole time of the
commission is employed, and the state
becomes the guarantor of payments to
the beneficiaries. An insurance fund
has been created.
Corporation men in Ohio are pleased
with the law and the labor leaders are
satisfied While it is not claimed that
it is perfect there is virtually no senti-
ment In favor of its repeal

Unionism vindicated.

Washington, March, 19.
ganized labor in the American pot
terry industry is to be congratula-
ted on the results of government
investigation of that industry at
home and abroad. 1t is vindica-
tion of the practical workings of
trade unionism, and is triumph
for collective bargaining and wage
scale and working agreements,
which has made possible contin-
uous peace in this industry for over
years.
The investigation, conducted un-
der the Federal department of COM
merce, bureau of foreign and do
mestic commerce, shows that the
union pottery workers of this
country have demonstrated their
efficiency without the use of a
stop watch" or the Taylor sys-
tenn. Principally through their eff
forts the difference IN the total
cost of manufacture, in the ma jor-
ity potteries between the United
States and foreign countries, is
from IA to 40 per cent, although
American wages is from 81 to 900
per cent higher than ia foreign
potteries.

Limit women's Hours Of Toll.

The California eight hour labor law
for women employed in manufacturing
and mercantile establishments, except
those in harvesting and canning fruit,
boarding houses and graduate nurses
In hospitals, has been upheld as consti-
tutional by the United States supreme
court The decision is OF first impor-
tance, as establishing the principle that
reducing the hours Of womans labor
to eight hours day is not an improp-
er exercise of states police powers.
Hitherto the court had been called
upon to go only so far as to uphold a
limitation to ten hours a day in the
Massachusetts law and fifty-four hours
a week IN the Ohio law.

Would Raise Wages.

Professor Fisher OF Yale university
told a Boston arbitration board that
is considering wage demands of the
Bay State Railway company employees
that even if street railway com"any
was suffering under financial stress,
and it was necessary to discontinue
certain trips, the company should not
hesitate to increase the wages of its
employees to meet the new conditions
because of the increased cost Of living.
He also said that the working day is
too long, both from the standpoint of
the employer and the employee, and,
in the case Of a railroad, from the
standpoint of the public as well.

DUTY OF UNloNIsTs.

1t has often been said that the
"man who does nothing is never
censured. 1t may ofttimes be
said that the man who does least
does the most complaining. Par
ticularly does this apply to mem
bers who complain because So
and-so in the union made this or
that mistake. Invariably the
man who made the mistake was
the one who willingly served on
any committee. attended the un-
ion meetings and endeavored to
give and get advice, while the
, other man didn't have time to at
tend to union meetings or act on
, necessary committees. A com
mittee doesn't comprise a union;
, then why depend upon COM
mittee to do the union work? If
, you have a complaint to make,
what part did you play in deter
, mining the course of events?
The success of the union depends
) upon the enthusiasm of all its
members. Do your part in the
) carrying on of this work and
you will have little time to spend
) In finding fault with the honest
mistakes Of others-Trade I'm
ionist.

Close Of a Beautiful Life

Thursday afternoon wave of sad
ness passed over the city as word
went out that death had come to the
home Of Lafayette Parker and taken
away the wife and mother.
Mrs. Parker had been i'll for about
three weeks suffering from an attack
of the grippe, and on Saturday last
was taken with heavy chill, follow
ed by pneumonia. All that medical
science could suggest and loving SER
vice perform was without avail, and
on Thursday afternoon the angel Of
death came with quiet touch and she
entered into the rest that remains for
the people of God.
Mary Anne Julian was born in
Grass Lake, Michigan, June IL, 1862.
and when but wee baby the family
started on the long journey across the
, plains with an emigration train for
the far off Rocky Mountains. so prac-
tically all her life has been lived In
Utah In early womanhood she was
married to Lafayette Parker, and the
years that came brought to their home
ten children; Sarah, who is one Of
our popular school teachers, Bartle.
Clyde, Rebe, Wayne, Frank. Marianne,
the mothers namesake, Don, Earl and
Harry, all Of whom are living to COM
fort the father and each other in the
great loss that has come to them.
Mrs. Parker was born into the
Church of Latter Day Saints, and has
been a faithful member all her life.
Her life has exemplificd all the quiet
lovable qualities OF real womanhood,
wearing with serene, unconscious dig
nifty womanhood's crown of wifehood
and motherhood; and while there will
be an empty place in the home that
nothing on earth can fill, yet the
memory of her life will be help and
inspiration to both family and friends.
Mrs. Parker is survived by the fol-
lowing sisters and brothers: Mes
danes Jane Greenwood. Emma King,
Ellen Greenwood Of American Fork,
Eliza Baker Of Tooele, and Julia Rig
ley Of Idaho; her brothers are Willard
and James Julian.
Funeral services will be held In the
First Ward Meeting House on Sunday
afternoon at two o'clock p. m, with
IN al,o 90
the services.

Important Strike
In Bay Staff
Senator WoOttOn Visits Mine and Has
Experience With Big Gray
Wolf.

Senator j. II. Wootton and j. ".
Manwill went up to the Bay State
mine Thursday and arrived Just after
the miners had made a most import
ant strike In the lower tunnel on
which work was resumed a week ago.
The extent of the strike could not be
ascertained as II has just been made.
The ore was struck at n distance Of
about fifty feet from the mouth of the
tunnel. It commenced coming in
|about half way up the tunnel, and
with depth Of three feet 1t had in
creased to two feet In width. Appar-
emily they were directly on top Of a
big body Of lead carbonate ore of a
grade similar to that found In the
Dutchman.
Supt. Tyler was driving the tunnel
to catch a vein going down from an
upper tunnel, which he expected to
cut In another fifty feet. So the new
strike was entirely unexpected and
indicates that the Bay State will de-
velop several bodies of ore.
Senator Wootton had another ex-
perience on the trip which he will not
care to repeat. Just as he came out
Of some timber he heard a noise OF
what sounded like big dog bounding
towards him. 1t was also accompanied
by barking similar, but not the same
as n dog. He was startled when the
animal came into the clear and he
saw a big gray wolf, Just then a
dog came up to his side and the
wolf changed its course off along the
side of the hill. The wolf had body
much heavier than coyote and its
nose was much shorter Its hair was
so gray that II was almost white.
The dog that proved such protec-
ton was a stray that had persistently
followed the party from town despite
repeated efforts to drive II back.
