Stenographer Wants Money.

Senator Thompson is likely to have
a little difficulty in getting some Of the
minutes Of the Thompson committee.
Miss Virginia L. Valva, who did the
stenographic work for the committee
between September II, 1915, and March
4, 1916, claims the committee owes her
a bill Of S2,937S5. She said yesterday
she would hold the record until she was
paid.
"My client" said Meier Steinbrink,
as only seeking from Senator Thomp-
son the same sort Of treatment he has
been preaching to public service cor
porations."
Travis II. Whitney yesterday said
that Senator Thompson's charge that
he was instrumental in allowing the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company TO
increase The valuation of property ac-
CURED near the Brighton race track
from $50 900 20 $4,000 and charge the
difference 20 construction account was
not accurate.

Thompson on Monday night before the

BILL GETS HEARING
Friends and Foes to Measure
Before Senate Committee.
From a staff Correspondent


Albany, March 1.-THE Mills bill
establishing a system Of health insur-
ance was championed to-day by many
social welfare workers before the
Senate judiciary Committee. Both
capital and labor lined up against he
measure. The Sage Foundation favor
ed the bill strongly. holding that II
would be Of great aid TO health ana
happiness among the working people.
The measure was opposed by labor
because its representatives said they
were not given enough to say ABOUT
its operation. The labor men, how
ever, favored the principle. IN yolyed.
Capital opposed the bill, on the
ground that it would impose an s>sdi-
tional burden on industry. Physicians
fought it, holding that 1t did not give
a patient a free choice IN selecting his
doctor.
II was suggested that n commission
be appointed to Investigate health in
surance, and report TO the next iegis-
lature.
Miles K. Dawson. lawyer and social
worker, spoke for the bill, which was
framed by the American Society for
Labor Legislation, and modelled after
the health insurance laws Of England
and Germany.
Pauline Newman, Of the Trade
Union Le>-~e. spoke in favor OF the
bill, but argued that il should be made
to include maternity pensions. DR..
Alexander Lambert, Of the American
Medical Society, also favored a mater
nifty benefit provision.
Others who spoke for the bill were
Miss Mary Van Kleek. Bailey X. Bur
rift, DR.. I. NJ. Rubinow, Joseph p.
Chamberlain, Frank Pearsons, Nellie
Swartz and Dr.. John b. Andrews.
DR.. Eden V. Delphy. DR.. Samuel J.
Kopetsky. DR.. James F. Rooney, a. +.
Ommen, William NJ. Council, James p.
Holland, Lee c. Squires, of Philadel-
pha, and Mark A. Daily opposed the
bill. Letters against the measure were
read from John 0'Hanlon and Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
