IF the wife works at any occupa-
tion which brings in money and the
husband Is out of employment,
shouldn't he fill in the idle moments
by doing the housework and looking
after the children?" This is the blunt
question which wife who works asks
me to decide. She dwells on her griev-
ances still further by adding that she
is obliged to to rise very early, get
breakfast for the family; she is
obliged to stack up the dishes for want
Of time to wash them. Her neighbor
next door looks after the children for
small amount until her return at
night. After her supper dishes are
cleared away at night, she has the
children to put to bed, the washing,
ironing, housekeeping and mending
to do. my husband sits around the
house all day." she adds, varying the
monotony by going out to search for
work. but secretly hoping he won't
find it. Now. while he is at home these
long days. couldn't he take care of the
children. prepare an easily cooked
meal for them, wash the dishes and
sweep the floor at least? He says it
isn't a mans work. and he refuses to
do it. l say if he cannot find work
outside he should be glad to do 1t in
side. Please decide for

would find himself at his wits end as
to how to escape breaking some Of the
dishes he would be required to wash.
Cooking would be an equal hardship.
He wouldn't know whether the making
of coffee called for spoonful of bak-
ing powder, sugar or an egg; how long
1t took to cook porridge to make 1t
thin as cruel or thick as dough; |;
whether to give the children bread and
butter thickly coated with sugar every
time they asked for it or not to give
them half enough to satisfy their
young appetites.
There are husbands who fit nicely
into the emergency. There are others
whom 1t would knock all askew as
being distasteful. Rather than to be
pressed into the household service,
which goes against the grain. man

COMPENSATION ACT
WILL Be DISCUSSED
Governor Will Meet Men Who
Have Ideas on the Subject
Very Shortly

In an effort to adjust the differ
ences between the proposed admins
tration workmen's compensation bill
and the measure drawn by the Indus
trial Accidents Commission confer
ences will be held in the Executive
offices within the near future between
Governor Brumbaugh. Attorney Gen
eral Brown, Representative A. c. Stein,
of Pittsburgh, and Francis II. Bohlen,
of Philadelphia, secretary of the In
duStrial Accidents Commission. There
are vital differences between the two
measures and Commissioner Bohlen
and Representative Stein will endeavor
to pursuade The Governor that the
commissions bill is the better.
Representative Stein held confer
ence to-day with the Attorney Gem
eral at which the two bills were COM
pared. The Attorney General made 1t
plain that the Governor and he were
satisfied that their measure was better
than that of the commission in the
more important provisions.
The bill which will have the support
of the Governor is a measure drawn by
the commission on uniform legislation,
which is composed of attorneys from
most of the States. The Governor has
made some changes in the measure,
however, and it will not be ready for
Introduction before next week. Repre-
sentative Stein says the commission
bill will be presented whether or not
it has the Executive approval. 1t will
then be up to the Legislature to decide,
with the odds greatly in favor of the
Governor.
The Governors bill provides for a
commission with branches in the large
cities to enforce the act. The commits
sion is authorized to name as many
deputies as are deemed necessary. The
commission bill leaves enforcement OF
the act to the courts.
The Governors measure. it is said
gives the employer no option in the
matter of insurance. He must insure
with the State. The bill prescrlbes the
manner of raising the fund and the
form of policy. The commission bill
gives the employer the option of in
suring with the State or a casualty
company.
Under the administration measure
farm labor and domestic servants are
specifically exempted The commission
! bill includes them in its provisions anG
| the trainers insist that the exemption
makes the bill unconstitutional. 1t was
been suggested that the question ot
constitutionality can be eliminated by
classifying industries, that is, by spe,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-01-27
ifcally naming all industries covered

officially naming all industries covered
by the act.
Compulsory insurance for irrespon-
sible employers also is provided in the
Governors measure. Under this pro-
vision employers would be compelled
to furnish evidence of their ability to
meet all claims for damages to their
employees as provided by the act or
take out insurance as dictated by the
State.
Representative Stein is said to be
opposed to all of these provisions in
the administration measure except the
last one and argues that a commission
to enforce the act would be too OK
pensive; that the State does not have
the capacity for operating an insur-
ance bureau in competition, and that
to exempt farm employees and donestic
servants makes the bill unconsti.
tutional.
The Governor is said TO believe that
his bill would guarantee the claims of
employees and n commission would give
quicker settlement to the employees
than the machinery OF the courts

STATE COLLEGE
PLANS EXPANSION
Committee of Trustees Named to
Draft Appropriation Bill Along
Governors Ideas

State College trustees last evening
placed the matter of drafting an ap-
preparation bill in the hands of a spe-
cial committee composed of President
T.. L. Sparks, of the College; Presi-
dent II. Walton Mitchell. of the trus-
tees. and II. V. White, Bloomsbury. 1t
is probable that the bill will reflect
Governor Brumbaugh's desire that
much attention be given to the deVel-
opment of agricultural instruction and
such engineering as will enable men
10 learn to build roads.
THE appropriation the legislature
will be asked to provide" said Pres
ident Sparks, last night, will be for
buildings, equipment and maintenance.
While no definite decision was reached
it is probable that the college will
ask for money for a general chemis-
try building. a building for poultry, an
animal husbandry building for the
accommodation of cows, sheep and
hogs, a general recitation building for
the agricultural students and labora-
tories for the domestic science stu
dents. The building the girl students
are now occupying was built when
there were but S5 girls in college;
now there are 105."

son as dean OF the School oil eSlneef-
ing was accepted. DIR. Jackson OBJ

chairman of the legislative committee
OF the unions, called on Governor

OF Workmen'S compensation legislation.
MIR. Feeney introduced the members

to the fact that at the meeting of the
labor representatives in this city dur
ing the week Mr.. Bonner was elected

in place of Representative James
Maurer and the conference chose
James Oats, of Pittsburgh Governor
Brumbaugh said that he would be glad
to confer with Messrs. Bonner and
Oats from time to time on legislation
affecting the workingmen of Pennsyl-
vania.
In his remarks Feeney informed the
Governor that the labor unions of
Pennsylvania at the recent conference
unanimously favored the Ohio law
with the necessary changes to conform
with the Pennsylvania Constitution
and went on record favoring the COM
mission form OF administering COM
pensation.
Governor Brumbaugh stated that the
Republican platform called for a work
men compensation act and II is the
desire of the Legislature to enact such
law He pointed out that there are
three elements that should be given
consideration above everything else.
First. to enact a law that makes COM
pensation positive without any possi-
bility of an employer avoiding the
liability; second, to expedite payments
and prevent litigation in the courts;
third. to conserve life and limb by
making the employer put in adequate
safety devices, thereby preventing ac-
cidents and the necessity of paying
compensation.
In concluding his address Governor
Brumbaugh asked the committee to

MANY VISIT AT
 PUBLIC SCHOOL

Patrons day at the Conway public school brought large number of vis- itors to the institution, all of whom were delighted with the splendid work being done in all departments of the school. Every room in the building was thrown open to the visitors, while classroom work was carried on by all the teachers and pupils in the usual manner. Polite boys and girls direct ed the visitors to the rooms they de- sired to inspect.
 In the domestic science rooms in the basement a group of about 30 high school girls, presided over by their teacher, Miss Maud Lee Pearcy, served delicious chocolate and cakes prepared by the pupils in this depart ment.
 The visiting hours were from 10 o'clock a. m. until o'clock p. m., and patrons from the city were visiting every room throughout the day.
