VICTORY FOR
COMPENSATION ACT
Won by State In Franklin County
Appellate Court.
Constitutionality of Law Is Upheld
Appeal of Case To Supreme
Body Is Expected.

Columbus, Ohio.-Complete and de-
cisive is the victory won today in the
Appellate Court OF Franklin County by
the Industrial Commission on behalf Of
the workmens compensation act. Its
constitutionallty was sustained by a
united bench, Judges Fernedng and
kunkle agreeing with Judge Allread in
holding that employers failing to insure
their workmen were liable for the dam
ages awarded by the State Commission.
This power of award is found in Sec
ton 27 of the act. which was last fall
declared unconstitutional by Judge
Thomas Bigger, of the Franklin County
Court of Common Pleas, because it de-
MED as he said, the right OF trial by
jury. Percy Fasig, of this city, was the
defendant and test was made through
his case of a large number OF similar
instances
The Appellate Court today holds that
the constitutional provision for the
workmen's compensation machinery is
enabling and not limiting in its nature.
1t was intended to transfer the subject
to an administrative board with summary
powers, it having been discovered that
the general limitations of the constitu-
ton were lettering the restrictive The
court holds that Fasig, who failed to
comply with the law, is not entitled to
greater rights than the employers who
have complied, The quasi-judicial pow
ers of the commission are no greater
than those OF County Commissioners,
Township Trustees and County Audi
tors, but as matter of fact the COM
mission is executive and not judicial
The section declared unconstitutional
by Judge Bigger does provide for a trial
by jury. and there is no denial Of such
a hearing to be found in the statute.
Provision is made for a hearing for the
determination of the amount of the
award under rules provided by the Gen
eral Assembly. After the award has
been made and payment refused the
courts are open to the defendant and
every matter can be heard by the court
save the amount of the award and the
penalty for non-payment

SENATOR HOKE SMITH
OBJECTS TO REPORT

Washington.-Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia blocked an attempt to have the
Senate consider printing the report of
the United States Commission on Indus
trial Relations, which has been partially
approved by the House When Senator
Fletcher, chairman OF the committee on
printing, asked for unanimous consent
to consider the joint resolution. Senator
Smith objected. This forced a postpone
ment of the question.
1t is believed that the senators who
favor publicity will not permit one OF
their colleagues to defeat this purpose
by continually objecting, and that event
ually a roll call will be demanded.
The joint resolution which Senator
Fletcher attempted to have considered
is as follows:
Resolved by the Senate and the
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled, that the final report of the United
States Commission on Industrial Rela-
tions, including the report of Basil NJ.
Manly. director of research and invest
cation, and the individual reports and
statements of the several commissioners,
together with all the testimony taken at
its hearings, except exhibits submitted in
printed form, which shall be appropriate
ly referred to in said testimony, be
printed as a senate document under the
direction of the joint committee on print
ing and that 10000 additional copies be
printed and bound in cloth, of which
$500 copies shall be for the use of the
Senate and 1900 copies for the use of
the House of Representatives and that
of the final report of said commission
100000 additional copies be printed, of
which 10000 copies shall be for the use
of the Senate and 10000 copies for the
use of the House of Representatives
Provided. that the superintendent of
documents is hereby authorized to re-
print copies of the same for sale or dis
tribution as provided by law"

AGITATION BY UNIONS
POPULARIZES ISSUES

Toronto, Ontario. = The Industrial
Banner calls attention to the effect of
persistent trade union agitation that has
resulted in popularizing issues that were
only advocated by the organized work
ers, years ago. The editor says:
The great work that has been per-
formed by the labor organizations in
Canada in molding public sentiment in
favor of progressive and democratic
ideals is but little understood by the
people at large, and this is also true in
a very large measure of the members of
labor unions as well.
The magnitude of the task that con-
fronted the organized labor movement
OF even % or 30 years ago can only be
appreciated by the veterans who had to
fight hard uphill battle, of which the
rank and file of the membership of to-
day can have but little conception.
I'm these days the trade unions had
very little money in their treasury, the
dues were very low, organizers had to
work for salary that was hardly cap
able OF paying actual expenses, and in
TACT much OF the organization work per-
formed was of a voluntary nature, for
which no monetary recompensc was
ever received. for in those days the or
ganizer helped to pay his own expenses
i'll addition to sacrificing his time and
energy freely and voluntarily.
"Ofttimes the unions could hardly pay
the rent of their meeting halls, and it
was no uncommon thing at the end of
a quarter to take up a collection in order
to square up. Happily this state of af-
fairs is a thing of the past. but it was
from just such unsatsf factory conditions
and in the face of seeming unsurmount-
able difficulties that the splendid labor
movement OF today has evolved and
been built up.
1T is interesting, however, to note
that even in the early days of the move
ment in this province, for Ontario dur
ing those times largely held the torch
alight as far as Canada was concerned
that the main question debated in labor
meetings were the very questions, then
unpopular and their advocates viewed
with suspicion, that have become the real
live questions of today

OPERATORS APPLAUD MINERS.

New York.-At the first wage confer
ence of anthracite miners and operators,
the latter applauded when the miners
finished reading their demands. 1t was
the first time in the history of the Mine
Workers Union that this has happened,
and was also the first time that the de-
mands of the miners were not sum
marily rejected. The operators applause
was accepted by the workers in the sense
intended-to indicate that the coal
owners appreciated the position of their
employees.
Both sides took great care to make it
clear that they were entering upon the
deliberations in a spirit of fairness.
President White issued statement be-
fore going into the conference, in which
he declared against strike, so long
as the operators show any disposition to
reach an agreement"
"We have talked peace, and believe in
peace, and we expect nothing else" he
said
