Trials OF Harvest Markers.

Topeka, Kan, July 9.--Life's
other side is never mere plainly
visible than among harvest work
ers, passing through this city. says
the Topeka Capital. Most of these
workers are penniless. They do
not, as a general rule, have the
least idea where their next meal is
to be secured. They do not eat
regularly, and eat whenever they
get chance. BY the time these
harvest workers reach the wheat
fields, work usually means susten-
ance. When they pass through
Topeka some of them may have
money, out it is generally little
more than is necessary to buy them
meals aud clothing until harvest
begins.
Men who went to western Kan
sas two and three weeks ago, are
now returning in large numbers.
They say harvest in most places
will not start fer two weeks With
mary destitute men, food is hard
to obtain. The idea of earning a
living is chimericai they state, un.
til harvest begins Jobs are
snapped up before man even has
chance to put in his application.
Many of the workers blame cas-
tern newspapers and employment
bureaus for their present condition

insist On Prevailing Rate.

New York, July 9.-Reports by
officers of the state insurance fund
shows that workmen' S compen sa
tion is a success and that the in
surance fund offers these induce
ments to employers: Lowest cost,
complete security and efficient sell
vice.
Employers who placed their in
surance in the state fund in pre-
ferenc~ to the stock companies will
effect saving of not less than one
half a million dollars for the first
year. Dividends were distributed
to policy holders on the first six
months business averaging q per
cent of the earned premiums. The
expenses of the fund are paid for
by the state, but if it had paid It's
own expenses. the ratio TO pre-
miums would have amounted to
only II per cent, which is less than
the commission to general agents
paid by the casulty companies.
"In other words" continues the
report, "the total expenses of the
state fund, had it been obliged to
pay these out of premiums. would
have consumed q smaller proper
ton of the premium income than
agents commission alone in the
case of the stock companies.
