CONGRESS MAY PASS
COMPENSATION ACT
Nc Gil1cuddy to Present Firm De.
mand for Better Treatment
of U. S. Employees.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-With the
opening of congress the demand for a
just compensation system for federal
employees is brought actively forward
once more by the Introduction of the
Kern McG illicuddy bill by Representa-
tive McGillicuddy of Maine. This bill
was promoted in the last congress and
was reported fsvorably by the house
judiciary committee.
It has been Endorsed by the American
Federation of Labor, the National As
ISOLATION of Letter Carriers, United
States Customs Employees associations,
the Affiliated Trades of New York
Navy Yard and numerous other unions
of civilian employees of the United
States The bill moreover is favored
by the federal bureau Of labor statistics,
the government department in charge of
the administration of the present made
quate law.
Drafted by the American Association
for Labor Legislation, the proposed law
fixes the basis of compensation at two
thirds of wages during disability, in
stead Of 100 per cent for only one year,
as at present; it gives adequate medical
treatment to the injured; it includes
within the scope of the act all civilian
employees of the United States, and it
provides compensation for occupational
diseass, such as lead poisoning, an
thrax and compressed air illness.

THINKS FOOD TRUST
IS WORKING IN j, S,
DR.. Nc arthy Declares 70 Agents
Are In Different Parts of
U. S. Perfect1ng Plans.

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Dr. Charles
Mccarthy, Madison, Wis.,, uncovered
a brand new public enemy-the flood
trust" He charged tn trust is being
quietly organized by the group Of
Chicago financiers to monopolize the
entire food supply Of the nation.
DR.. Mccarthy spoke before the con-
ference on marketing and farm cred
it's. He reinforced his charges with a
statement that they were made after
six months study, in which he had
found at least seventy agents of the
Chicago organization at work in diff,
ferent parts of the country among the
farmers. He said the sensational re-
suits had been laid before the federal
officials at Washington and that I'M
less immediate action were taken by
the farmers to organize co-opera-
lively against the schemes they would
soon be at the mercy Of the distribute
ing trust, controlled by middlemen.
II will not go any further at this
time than to say that know posi-
lively that a food trust is being or
ganized,' said Dr.. Mccarthy. 1.-THE
plans that have been worked out are
as plain as day. They have started. by
organizing for the distribution OF the
stable farm products. The next thing
on the program is vegetables.
IT have only to point to the milk
situation in Chicago. Every producer
whoIsells in Chicago knows that BDr.
den offers practically the only mar
ket and that Borden sets the price as
q result. S.: g. r., - 5s

Water & Light Manager Threat
ems TO- Arrest Fire Chief
- -. Randall,

The manager of the water and
light department threatens to arrest
the chief Of the fire department, be-
cause the latter has been using city
hydrants, for other purposes than ex-
tinguishing fires. :. s",>
Mayor Prince instructed the fire
chief to flood community skating
Kinks prepared by residents, but he
did not consider it necessary to ask
permission Of the water and light de.
partment before doing so.
There is an ordinance which for
bids any person to open hydrant ex-
cept in case of fire without tie per-
mission Of the water and light de-
partment. Maybe this ordinance
does not apply to city officials:
Any way, every day at the city hall
something occurs to skater the ideals
Of commission government.
Who ever heard Of such a. mess
under the old system?

SAFETY WORK TELLS;
FEWER MINE DEATHS
Last Year 3,193 Miners Were
Killed As Against 1851
in 1918,

While deaths in mines have been
reduced, the percentage is still too
big, says Director Manning of the
United States bureau of mines, in a.
report just issued. The figures for
1914 show that 45S less men were
killed than In the. year 1919. The
total number of men killed in all coal
mines, metal mines and quarries in
1914 was s,193. In .tsAyear 1913 the
number was 1851. ssft''
These totals do not tell the whole
story" said the director. There were
more than a million men employed in
these mines and quarries, and the
death rate for the year 1914 was 3.16
for each 1000 men employed, as com.
pared with 3.49 for the year 1913. In
other words, in nearly every mining
camp of any size in the country there
is one miner spared to his family who
would have been killed had the same
the previous year.
These results are an eloquent trfb-
ute to the unceasing nationwide cam
paign which is being carried on in
behalf Of the miners by the operators,
the miners themselves, the state mine
inspectors and the bureau of mines.
II think it is to the credit of Amer
lean manhood and American ideals
that while the European nations at
war are issuing their terrible casualty
lists with the names of killed and
wounded by the thousand we have so
many agencies striving not to kill, but
to save life and that we can issne
lists showing a. dwindling, decreasing
death rate in cur American mines. !
DO not mean by this that we have in
any way reached ideal conditions.
More than three men killed out of
every 1000 employed in the mines lie
too big percentage of deaths. It in
cludes much more than the natural
hazards of the industry. What we
are striving for is to get the rate
down to that point and with the loye1
assistance we are receiving from SO
many sources we expect to accomplish
that much.''
