GOVERNMENT ACTION. - The
Eastland disaster should arouse the
public to the realization of their
power politically to bring to justice
the guilty of this frightful catastrO-
phe, caused beyond a shadow Of
doubt by the negligence Of federal
and other authorities. We therefore
request you to give the following sUg-
gestiOns the widest publication in
your paper:
: That every American citizen write
to their respective senators and con-
gresham to Immediately work in be-
half of the people that elected them
to office to bring to justice and con-
viction the ones guilty of this whole
sale murder or else not dare to make
an appearance for reelection.
We demand that the state and fed
eral officials protect the lives of
peaceful American citizens in our
country first, so they will not be muir
dered by the wholesale through the
negligence and incompetence Of the
political doIlar-chasers, instead Of
trying to protect a few Americans
who contributed lavishIy to cam
paign funds for mercenary reasons
and who deliberately travel on British
powder magazines into known danger
zones. Humanity in our own cOUn-
try first
We also suggest it should be the
duty Of the entire clergy Of the cOun-
try, regardless of creed, to tell the
people from the puIpits to write their

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.-Not
very long ago a British steamer was
sunk by German submarine. How
ever it happened a few Americans
were on that steamer and the U. S.
government began to send one note
after another to Germany, stating
that Americans must be saved, no
matter whether they are on a neu-
trail vessel or not. And now it hap
pened in Chicago a number of work
ers were to go out for little trip
and before they left the shore the
ship went under with them. Now
what right has the government of the
U. S. to tell the government of Ger
many that Americans must be saved
when it does not save them them
selves? And now the question comes,
who is guilty? And nobody can tell
who is guilty. Some say the com
pany running the ship, while others
say the Western Electric Co. and no
body has yet come to a final cOnclU-
sion. But when we are not poisoned
with the capitalistic thought we can
easily find out who is guilty. And
now let us for one moment think
over it to ourselves and we will surely
come to a conclusion that the pres
ent system Of profits is guilty and
nothing else. The company to whom
the ship belonged is not looking for
the comfort Of the public, but they
are looking for more profits, And

WoRKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAWS

In the dispatches of this week it is noted that
Indiana has joined the states having Workmens compen
satlon laws IN operation OregOns law has been in oper
alton three years and many EMPLOYERS have not
taken advantage of it. 1t is like that of most of the other
states to certain expert experimental and some of
It's provisions are objected to by some industries Amend
ments which wiped out many of the apparent inequalities
adopted at the last session of the legislature how
ever and doubt other changes will be made from time
to time
In Indiana, although nearly 500 employers took adj
vantage OF the opportunity to reject the law, members of
the commission point out that this is very small norton
OF the approximately $1,000 employers in the state
Indiana was the twenty-sevenh state to enact such
law Since that time four other states have Joined the
list making thirtyone in ALL Alaska also has such law
Several of the larger traction systems in the state
rejected the law, preeng to take their chances in the
courts with damage suits Those rejecting the law cannot
plead as defense that the empOye negligent that the
injury was caused by the negligence of fellow emplove
or that the enploye assumed the risk Of the injury

medical care and supplies for thirty days After fourteen
days the injured man begins to draw sum equal to SIS
per cent OF his wages If he is totally disabled his paw

abed the compensation is the rate of onehaf the diff
ference between his earning capacity before and after
the injury
This law chiefly in the form of bill favored by the
manufacturers but with certain amendments for which
labor contended Labor unable to force state nsur-
ance Of employers.
Information obtained from John A. Lapp, director of
the Indiana bureau of Legislative information discloses
that workmens compensation so far obtains chiefly in
the northern states. There is strip across the country
where the ambulance chasing lawyer and the courts are
lett to decide whether aborer is entitled to damages
these states being
Virginia North Carolina South Carolina Georgia
Florida, Alabama Mississippi Tennessee Arkansas New
Mexico Utah. Idaho North and South Dakota, Missouri
Delaware and Kentucky
Kentucky passed such law but it was declared un
constitutional because of constitutional provision that
the general assembly has power to limit the amount of
damages, Friends of workmens compensation in that
state are now interested in amendment to the con-
stitution
Montana is the only state to reject compensation bv

crowded troley-car. Through the
glass doors and long line OF human
ity he saw her face. It was just yisl'
bic over the shoulder OF a stevedorc
and under the broad black hat OF
German frau. He felt vaguely thai
he had seen her before.
1t was a rarely attractive face, wit
sad sweetness about it that went
through his fiery heart. He had seel
more beautiful women, but there wal
something winning in the direct
frank but impersonal manner in
which she returned his admiring, in.
lerested gaze. He hoped that she
did not think him rude in staring.
For a moment he looked away, then
looked hastily back again, fearing to
lose her eyes. Was she laughing a!
him' Was she flirting with him? He
was sure that there was at least hinr
Of amusement in her faint smile.
The conviction that he had seen
her, had met her, became stronger.
She was merely waiting for him to
remember who she was. She read his
thoughts. Heavensl Who was she?
How could he have met such a girl
and forgotten her name2
On an impulse, he winked. Tmme.
dlately he was confused with shame
Her glance had changed to one of re-
proof OF panied surprise. even Of
scorn.
The car had carried him beyond
his destination and out into the sub
urbs. Still he stood and looked at
the girl. Suddenly he realized tina.
the croud OF standces had thinned
out till scant dozen were lett. He
could now easily reach her.
He mustered his courage up to the
point Of throwing open the door and
sirldng down the aisle. She did not
flee. Her smile was now welcoming

Here is the way the Woodburn Independent views the
great question of the times Let us get right down to
brass acks on some of the principal causes Of the present
deporabe conditions America today is the richest and
financially the most powerful nation in the world Times
there was more confidence felt and displayed but thew
cannot be expected to be real good as long as people
fearful of this nation getting into the great war will not
invest and hoard their money many being even afraid to
trust the banks. Economy is practiced in families and
ne assists in continuing the depression For instance let
the millions in this country each do with one egg less
day and there marked effect on the trade. Take
into consideration hen other things marked off the daily
list and we have condition easily explained To great
extent the people themselves make times hard and are
encouraged to do by the moneypower, which is now
making millions in commissions on loans to foreign
