LOCAL PETITIONS
y FREELY SIGNED
Although A(yers) p. Velvet
Told Workers They
Were Satisfied

That the laboring people of the
city are not satisfied with the admin
istration of the workmen's compensa-
tion law under Gov. Willis is best
shown in the fact that initiative petit
tions are now in circulation, and are
being freely signed, asking for an
amendment to the constitution of the
state Of Ohio whereby the states
monopoly on this class of insul ance
will be supreme, as it was in the days
when James M. Cox was governor of
the state.
The history of workmen's compen-
sation in the state of Ohio discloses
that it was originally optional with
the employer whether or not he take
advantage of it in the protection of
his employees. Under Gov. Cox, all
firms having in their employ five men
or over were absolutely required to
take out this state insurance.
Then along came Gov. Willis and
with him Insurance Commissioner
Taggart. A strong spirit of connec.
tion between Willis and the liability
insurance companies of Ohio was al
ways suspected and this was verified,
at least to the satisfaction of many
people, when Commissioner Taggart
ruled that these concerns could enter
into the compensation insurance field
and compete with the state.
Ayers P. Velvet trys to shift the
blame from Willis and Taggart to
the law itself, as written by Senator
Green and passed under Cox's admin
istration.
But the blame cannot be shifted
The fact remains that, under Gov
Cox and his insurance commissioner,
Edmund H. Moore, the liability COM
panies never got look-in. The peo-
Pile, particularly the laboring men,
know this and they also know that
these companies only entered into
competition with the state of Ohio
when Willis became governor.
What difference does it make
I whether or not the supreme court
sustained Taggart's ruling? That is
merely technical. The point is this
Taggart, in making the ruling wanted
to let the insurance companies in,
while Moore, the Democratic commits.
sioner, with the same law to work
upon, never thought of making the
ruling because he WANTED THE IN
SURANCE COMPANIES BARRED.
Is 1t any wonder, then, that petit
tions for a return to the administra-
ton Of the workmen's compensation
law as 1t was done under Cox, are
being freely signed in Mt. Vernon,
even by Republicans?
The local petition was sent in care
of the secretary of the molders' union
Of this city and the secretary of the
glassworkers' union. The Federation
of Labor of the state of Ohio is back
of the movement and petitions have
been sent into every county in the
state.
The action of the federation, in
starting the petitions, is, it is said,
to combat the efforts of the liability
insurance companies of the state who
are fighting workmen's compensation
as a state monopoly.
Many signers have already been Sc
cured for the local petition and, from
the number of them who are Repub-
licans, it would seem that Willis ad-
ministration of workmen's compen-
sation is not so Overwhelmingly pop
ular with the laboring people as
Ayers P. Velvet would like to make
it out.
