ticular concern of the seaport.
When the merchant fleets of the beligerents. on
which we so largely depended for carriage Of our
merchandise were obliged to remain in haIbor the
yeaports became congested, not only with manufac-
lures but with grains and other agricultural pro-
luce from the interior. Suspension of payments as
result of moratora in the belgerent countries and
in the neutral countries financially related to thenl
reacted not only upon shipping interests III the great
American ports, but the effect was felt in every
state in the union.
Our farmers were at that moment beginning to
harvest an unprecedented crop of grain, which it
was certain the bellgerents would require and pay
for as never before Yet there ensued monetary
strngency, which required for the first time, the
employment of the emergency currency act
The experience of August September and October,
1914, revealed the intimate relationship between the
agricultural production of the United States and the
food requirements Of Europe. So lang as transport
taton and finance remained partially paralyzed, the
commerce of this country suffered almost as much
as that of belligerent. 1t was remarkable demon

FOR
DIAMOND TIRE PEOPLE

Since the publication Of their fair
list" prices the Diamond Tire people
have received many letters of COM
mendation and many assurances from
tire purchasers and dealers of con-
tinued confidence and good will.
They have discovered also that it
is impossible to please everybody, no
matter how sincere the effort to
do so may be. Not long ago there
was received at the general offices of
the Diamond Tire company in Akron,
Ohio, letter from an indignant man
in Chicago. He did not hesitate to
make use of strong language or to
set forth charges that were in no
wise complimentary
you say" he wrote, that you have
got only one price on Diamonds and
that people don't need to dicker none
when they go to buy your tires.
That's a lie, or else one of your
men are cutten prices. never
bought diamonds yet, but if you have
different prices ! don't want them.
For | would be sure to get the worst
of it,"
When he was asked for explicit
information concerning his charges
and for the name of the agent who
was alleged to be cutting prices the
indignant gentleman who had never
bought diamonds yet" returned part
of a newspaper which contained the
first two or three lines of an adver-
tisement under the caption: 1--WE
Save You Money on Diamonds"
Investigation revealed the fact that
the advertisement had been publish
ed by a firm that sold jewelry on
the installment plan. A complete
copy of the paper, containing the
in full, was sent to
the man who had complained. and in
due time he penned this character
istic apology:
Dear Sir 1t looks like you got
my goat, so the next time | need
a tire / will try a Diamond and see
If you tell the truth. I'm sorry l
done you wrong"

liability of the employer except
where the injury is occasioned by
the wilful intention of the injured
employe to bring about injury to him
self or of another or where the in
jury results directly from the wilful
failure of the injured employe to use
guard or protection against acci-
dent, furnished for his use pursuant
to any statute or order of the state
labor commissioner or results direct
ly from intoxication of the injured
employe while on duty"
This provision is alleged by work
ingmen to be conducive of litigation
owing to the opportunity that it pre-
sents for disputed state of facts.
The liability prescribed shall be
exclusive except that if an employer
has failed to secure payment of COM
pensaton for his injured employees
as provided, then an action may be
maintained in the courts for damages
on account of such injury and in such
an action the defendant may not
plead or prove as defense that the
injury was caused by negligence of
fellow servant or that the employe
assumed the risk of his employment
or that the injury was due to con-
tributory negligence of the employe,
This claim shall be prosecuted by the
commissioner of industrial accidents,
created by the law for the employe
without expense TO such employe and
the amount recovered in such action
shall be paid by the commission to
such injured party.

ments under the act:
