COMPENSATION BILL
REPORTED In SENATE

Washington, D. C.-The Senate
Judiciary Committe has made a favor
able report on the Sutherland bill,
which provides compensation for civ
ilian employees OF the federal govern
ment who are injured in the line of duty
Compensation shall be based on the
monthly wages, which shall be 26 times
the days pay. In case OF death the
widow shall receive for eight years 40
per cent OF the wages paid the deceased
The per cent varies where the widow
has children. Benefits for permanent
total disability shall be 80 per cent Of
the monthly wages for life. Temporary
partial disability shall be 6625 per cent
of the monthly wage, to continue during
the disability.
Payments under the act are not sub
ject to claims OF creditors and any as
signment OF payments due under the act
is void. The government is not to ex-
empt itself from liability by contract or
agreement, and the Secretary OF Labor
is empowered to make rules to make the
act effective.
The report says the theory OF COM
pensation is now so generally accepted
"that further argument is unnecessary"
and that "a government should be will
ing to deal with those who do its work
as generously as it compels private en-
ployers to deal with those who do their
work"
Senator Sutherland, the author OF the
bill, is student of compensation for
workers. He served as chairman OF the
Senate committee that investigated this
question
Another compensation bill, drawr
along somewhat similar lines, known as
the Kern Nc Gillcuddy bill, is pending
In the house it has been reported favor
ably by committee.

BAKERIES UNIONIZED.

st. Louis, Mo-The Bakers union has
won twenty years fight against the
American Bakery company, and the six
local bakeries controlled by this con-
Germ have signed an agreement. Here
after eight hours will be the rule. For
merly the work day ranged from 9 to
IL hours. The agreement establishes
the union scale for $50 workers. The
unionists say that every wholesale bak,
cry in St. Louis, except three small ones
is now working under union conditions

NEW STRIKES AT
PACKING HOUSES
Transfers Walk-Out, Following
Butchers Demands.

Twenty-Five union teamsters employed
by packing houses of Cincinnati went on
strike Thursday morning for an increase
of So week in wages and shorter hours.
About two-thirds of the packing firms
were affected by this strike, according
to r. A. Meyer, secretary of the H. II.
Meyer Packing company. This walk-out
comes on the heels of the strike called a
week ago by slaughter house butchers.
"The packers have decided as firmly not
to accede to the demands of the team
sters as they have in the case of the
butchers" said Meyer. "The teamsters
receive an average of SIG a week, and
according to the wage agreement which
they propose, they wish to have this in
creased to SIS. They now work about
nine and one-half hours in all of the
shops. This strike will not affect the
packing houses any more than has thu
butchers strike"

THEORY OF UNIONISM GAINS.

indianapolis same bugaboo that
for long time hampered government
clerks has handicapped the formation
of school teachers unions" says the
editor of the official journal of the
Bricklayers and Masons Union.
Both held to the theory that theirs
was profession and felt that there
was loss of dignity in allying them
selves with the ranks of union labor.
Both have paused under the dome of
reflection and now realize the fact that
they are salaried employees, that they are
subject to the same economic forces that
regulate the wages of the carpenter, the
bricklayer, the craftsman of all trades
and calings, and both are realizing as
never before that dignity is added to
their calling bv placing themselves in the
ranks of unionsm and not trying to
pose as class apart from the operation
of economic principles"
The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1916-06-17

not harmonic Our differences and that,
eventually, the matter in controversy
must be passed upon by other and dis
interested persons"
The managers declared that present
wages and working rules are the result
of previous arbitration "and in our
eral compensation and favorable work
ing conditions"
They added that to adopt the en-
ployes proposed changes would in
crease the cost OF operation to the
roads about $1O0,OOO,OOO year. They
declared that the railroads must con
slider also the welfare of the employees
not in the present controversy, the
owners of the roads and the general
public.
The union representatives, in reply
stated that the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Judging by past state
ments, would consider itself incompe-
tent to act in this matter, and added
I'VE have always combatted the idea
that Government tribunal should be
empowered to fix wages" The state
ment says that most of the employees
regard with disfavor the use of arbi-
traitors to settle labor dispute, 'large-
ly because of the inability to get neu-
tral arbitrators with grasp OF all the
details to settle the question"
The statement by the men further de-
MES there has been any threat that traf-
fc will be interrupted. Even ii oul
men say so, in a moment OF heat, they
would not be authorized" says the
statement

NEED OF EFFICIENCY.

Chicago-Dr. Edward E. Pratt, of the
federal department of commerce. talked
efficiency at a meeting of the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association.
The speaker suggested that if wasteful
methods and overcapitalization were
abandoned many troubles of these lum-
Der men would disappear.
The advice will probably be over
looked, however. 1t is so much easier
to blame incompetent" workmen and
high wages for present conditions in
the lumber industry These claims will
also be supported by other business
men who are in the same boat with the
members of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association who, DIR. Pratt
declared. are asking the government S
permission to combine and thus regulate
competition-a legal remedy for an
economic problem

Strike Vote to Be Taken
By 100000 Employees
Ballots to Go to Both Union and Non Union Railway
Men.-SeUeral Weeks to Elapse Before Result
Is knoWn-Another Conference With
Managers Before Taking Action

New York, June 16.-Ballots for the
votes to be taken by the four unions OF
railway employees on the question of att
thorzing their officials to call strike,
probably will be sent out from the
headquarters of the union officials here
by tomorrow night. Several weeks will
elapse before result is known The
question as formulated today reads:
Are you prepared to withdraw from
the service OF your railroad in the alb
sence of a settlement agreeable to the
committee and your representatives
Immediately upon the termination
yesterday of the conference of the rail
way managers and the union men. re-
sulting from their failure to agree, the
union officials began to draw up a state
ment OF the situation, which will be sent
to the railway employees together with
the ballot. AS the ballots will go not
only to members of the brotherhoods,
but also to other railway men, it was
estimated today that 100000 OF them
would be sent out.
If the men favor strike, the union
representatives would seek another
conference with the railway managers
before resorting to strike.
The written statement sent by the
managers yesterday to the representa-
tives of the unions stated that there was
''no desire to change either existing
rates of pay or working rules or to
reduce the earning possibilities of the
employees under their existing sched-
ules." The employers, in proposing in
tervention by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, declared that "our con-
ferences have demonstrated that we can
