for WIDE CONTROL
OF FOOD SUPPLIES
Proposal to Give Extensive
Powers to the Bureau
of Chemistry.
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION

There IS now pending before the
House committee on agriculture
proposition to enlarge the powers of
the bureau of chemistry and the gem
eral pure food" power of that bureau
to an extent never dreamed of by Con-
gress. If enacted into law the bureau
of chemistry will assume position in
relation to the country's food products
similar to that of the interstate COM
merce commission as TO the railroads.
The proposal occurs in little legis-
lative paragraph in the annual esti-
mates Of the Department of AGricul-
ture, and has been discussed before the
committee on agriculture by Or. Carl
Alsberg. who succeeded DIR. Harvey w.
Wiley as chief of the bureau and head
of the governmental pure food" ac-
tivity. Members of the committee are
responsible for the statement that the
proposed legislation would increase the
powers of the bureau of chemistry far
beyond those intended when the pure
food legislation was passed dozen
years ago.

REDUCING ACCIDENTS
BY EDUCATIONAL PLAN

Sacramento, Cal.-The state industrial
accident commission, of which Will ].
French, Typographical union, is mem
Der, is conducting an educational cam
paign for the purpose of lessening the
number of accidents and fatalities in
industry.
Many of the notices are printed on
stout linen and an appeal is made to
both employer and employe to work for
the common end. The literature is pro-
fusely illustrated to show the wrong
way and the right way of doing things
and the results of carelessness are WV
idly pictured. 1t is shown that there
were 524 accidents in 1914 because of
piling construction material unsafely
Lumber with protruding nails caused
1901 accidents. Unguarded floor open
ings in buildings under construction, de-
fective ladders, himsy constructed scaf-
folds, careless handling of explosives
and other subjects are illustrated and
printed in a form easily read.
The commission has issued special Or
ders that cover many industries and
calings. One of the features of this
campaign is the use made of California's S
historic bear. The commission has or
ganized Miners Safety Bear club, with
the slogan, 81 am bear for safety"
on an attractive button. Admittance to
the club is free and through an endless
chain system every good safety bear"
is supposed to enlist recruit.
The commission is also working with
subcommittee of employers and en-
ployes. 1t is the purpose of this joint
movement to awaken "A state wide infer
est in the lessening of accidents and to
make prevention of these occurrences
a major question in California industry.

DEFENDS UNIONISM.

Newark, N. 1.-The Evening News
OF this city is not. in sympathy with the
recent anti-union policy OF employers
in New Yorks garment industry.
The editor says that the employers
attempt to repudiate the preferential
hiring OF union workers, which was
agreed to in the original contract, and
also to retain a free hand in dismissals,
would cast the entire organization OF
the industry into the scrap heap and
bury the protocol in anarchy.
"To abandon the preferential shop, to
cripple the union and to reinstate the
employer autocrat would be calamity,
not only to the world OF industry, but in
the world of democracy"

PACKERS PENSION A SNARE

Toronto, Ontario.-The Swift Pack
ing Company Chicago has announced
that 1t will inaugurate pension scheme
without cost to its workers. 1t is esti-
mated that the company employs 1000
men and women in Canada, and the In
dustrial Banner, official paper of the
Toronto Trades and Labor Council,
says:
at is doubtful if at this stage of the
development, intellectually and econom-
ically any large number of the working
people of Canada can be deceived by the
old-age pension molasses which the
American meat packing trust is now
dangling before their employees. 1t is
significant that this generous non-con-
tributing pension system is being held
before the eyes of the packing-h house
workers at a time when there is an
actual shortage in the kind of labor the
packing houses demand.
"Old-age pensions and insurance
against unemployment, sickness, etc, are
most desirable, but if they are to be of
any real benefit to the great mass of
people compelled to sell their labor in
competitive labor market, they must not
depend on the benevolence of whims of
private individuals or corporations.
1T is the business and mission of the
labor unions and wage workers them
selves to bring such pressure to bear
upon the provincial and dominion gov
ernments as to compel them to inaugu-
rate and establish universal pension sys-
tens which will tend to liberate the
wage workers from the haunting fear
of want during their old age instead of
further riveting their chains upon them
"An old-age pension, like the one Of
fered to the packing house workers,
where they have no legal claim to it, if
they offend their masters, by demanding
more wages or better working condi-
tons while thev are qualifying for it,
means slavery of the worst kind and
nothing but slavery"

leagues to advance the conditions pre-
vailing no further back than five or six
years. The principles of partial COM
pensation have become so firmly part
OF the organic laws of a majority of the
States in the Union, that it would be
suicidal upon the part of any individual
or combination of individuals to at
tempt to revert to old time practices.
During the past year there were over
100000 accidents occurring in industrial
Ohio. Every one of those accidents
came under the personal observation
and scrutiny of the Ohio State Industrial
Commission. Some of the awards made
under the State insurance system carry
$l2 per week for the length of life of
the injured worker, when it is a case
of total disability.
This means that should total disabil-
ity overtake workman, he would re-
ceivc the sum of $l5,6O0, distributed
over period of twenty-five years, or
longer, should he continue to live. Also,
that partial cash advance payment can
be made for the purpose of purchasing
a home, farm, or some business which
would enable him to live in comfort
without depending entirely upon his
| llOIlIlly awards.
Gases too numerous to mention are
of record prior to the enactment of the
compensation law, where worker total
! ly disabled, had no rights in the courts,
and the law designated him everything
but malefactor. Under the old sys-
TEN OF fellow servant, contributory neg
| igence and assumption of risk the re-
coveries made by injured workmen and
his dependents in case of his death, were
almost nil, when all accidents were con-
sidered.
Again it may be stated, that with all
the employers of State coming in un-
der workmen's compensation law, the
fact still remains that prior to such a
plan, we have the 10000 cases coming
under the immediate notice of one in
demnity insurance manager, and settle
ments or compensation being made in
only 6 per cent of the cases. Ninety
four workmen in every 100 injured or
killed never recovered one penny.
Does any man with one iota or spark
of manhood in his makeup, want to
claim that this was justice? Do the
working men of the United States desire
to revert to those barbaric conditions
| Do they desire that the widow and or
phans shall be scattered unto the four
winds of heaven; that the life of the
breadwinner has no more value than the
bolt or screw in a piece of machinery?
Twenty-Five foreign countries have
compensation laws, and nearly all the
States in the Union have them, including
! the territories.

Compensation For Injuries
BY WILL j. ROHR
Former Commissioner

Editors Note-At the Annual Con-
vention of the International Labor Press
of America, held at Cincinnati, Ohio,
arrangements were made whereby a
series of special articles from the pen
of men who have made thorough study
of the matter upon which they write,
will appear simultaneously in the col
umns Of those papers. The first comes
from the pen of Mr.. Will J. Rohr, Of
Cincinnati, Ohio who has gained wide
reputation through his study and writ
ings upon those topics in which labor is
intensely interested.)
Liability insurance companies are re-
sponsible for the various laws dealing

with workmen's compensation. True,
they deny the soft impeachment
Organized labor, employers, judges
and lawyers were the instruments which
finally combined to write the fundamen-
tai principles underlying the idea of in
part trying to offer some slight compcn-
sation to worker when injured, and in
small measure relieving distress to
family that has suffered the loss of its
principal breadwinner.
In the State of Ohio, October 6, 1910
the first 42-centimetcr gun began to
smash the old industrial system-that
human life was the cheapest thing around
an industrial plant. That gun and am
munition was furnished by the indem-
nifty insurance companies.
Liability insurance companies doing
business in single State for three
years, collected S23 G23, ,5S5 and they
paid out in settlements Of suits, SIS, ,j6o,-
79j."
The Ohio Commission found that less
than % per cent Of those recovcries by
suits at law and settlements, ever reach
ed the injured workman or the hands of
his widow or his orphans
In $1,000 cases passing through one
indemnity insurance managers hands,
the record shows that approximately only
6 per cent of those injured ever receiv-
ed anything, while "a per cent of those
injured either temporarily, partial or
total disability, or in case of death, re-
ccivcd nothing.
This is how the indemnity insurance
companies assisted in bringing about
workmcn's compensation laws.
The fundamental and underlying prin-
ciples which were written into work
mems compensation laws in some TWEEN
ty-two foreign countries had to do with
reducing the number OF accidents, the
necessity OF immediate surgical attention
to an injured workman, the placing Of a
stated amount of money in the hands of
the injured party or his dependents, and
doing away with the possibility of frit-
tering and long delays in placing awards.
All available statistics in the United
States bore out the contention that the
number of accidents both those inher-
ent to the business and those incurred
through carelcssncSS or indifference on
the part OF the workmcn or employer,
could be reduced to minimum. And
that might best be done by making it
compulsory upon the State or other agent
to see that every workman should re-
ceivc something, and that the principle
OF placing the burden OF doing this
should eventually be borne by industry.
In a conference participated in by
representatives of the Federal govern
ment and a large number OF commits
sioners from several OF the larger States,
held at Chicago H., November 10, II,
12, 1910, an attempt was made to unite
upon plan or form OF compensa-
tiOn law, which would not work a hard
ship upon any one States industries.
The fact was brought out that the con-
stituton OF some of these States would
not permit that form Of compensation
known as State insurance, i. e., fund
contributed by the employers and adj
ministered and disbursed by State
Board or Industrial Commission.

OF Season at Tarkio

The Bellevue college foot ball
squad left for iTarkio, Mo-, yesterday
afternoon to play the last game Of
the season, The team spent last
night at Coin, Ia. and will journey
on to Tarkio this morning. The
game will be played after dinner.
With the conclusion OF the game the
season will be over and all training
rules will be relaxed.
All of the members OF the squad
are III fairly good condition, with the
exception OF Williams, who is still
in bed. The Omaha lad has been
suffering from twisted leg.
Fourteen men besides the coach
made the trip, They will line up as
follows; Erwin, LEI; Gustafson, It.;
Johns, lg.; Kinnier, c.; Allen, rg.;
Daugherty, TT; Stewart, re-; Mincer
Or Evans, a.; Picotte, H.; Captain

said that the remaining tickets were
being snapped up and he expected

announced that the game would start
promptly at 2:30.
Coach Jess Harper ventured just
one prediction and that was it would

Head Of Bryan Man
Drops in the Basket


Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 29.-(Special. }
The appointment Of T. c. Lawler
OF Hastings as deputy revenue collec-
tor for the Fifth district instead of
the reappointment of Cecil Matthews
to the position has caused considera-
Bile comment in Lincoln and again
brings up the question whether the
Bryan crowd is to feel the sting of
Hitchcock's displeasure.
Mr.. Matthews has made no secret
of his opposition to Senator Hitch
cock and his fealty to Mr.. Bryan.
After he was appointed deputy COL
lector, Mr.. Matthews sold his paper,
the Riverton Review. to his brother,
Loren Matthews, but the latter con-
tinued the thrusts at Senator Hitch
cock and it this "disloyalty" on the
part Of the editorial little brother
which is doubtless the cause of the
fall of the political axe upon the
neck Of the Office holding big brot. .cr.
Rumor has it that Chief Collector
George L. LOOMS had been told that
unless he let Matthews go, his own
might not be confirmed.
1t is also limited this morning that a
concerted effort will be made to weed
out all disloyal democrats.

S Quart Sends Huskers Through
One More Scrimmage for Hoosiers

Lincoln, Nov 29.-(Special, y
Twenty-Five husky Notre Dame grid
iron warriors, accompanied by Coach
Jess Harper and Assistant Coach
Rockne, blew into Lincoln at $40
this morning and put up at the Lin
coin hotel, where the players spent
the entire morning in loafing.
Harper Immediately proceeded to
manufacture several choice gloom
stories that three Of his most valu-
able men were out of condition for
hard battle, such as the Cornhusk-
ers might be expected to give. He
admitted that the rest OF his squad
was in fair shape. Notwithstanding
injuries, Harper will start his regu-
lars, according to the lineup he an
nounced, and II was apparent at a
glance that the visitors were in prime
shape for hard game.
Nebraska polished off the plays to
be used Thursday at morning prac-
tice and the Huskers ran through
formations smoothly, although the
weeks practice has not been reassur-
ing. The Huskers are apparently in
the same rut that has marred the
work all season and the play last
night lacked the fire and spirit neces-
sary to win against first class elev-
en-. The practice was better than
any held before the Kansas game but
Il did not compare with the splendid
showing made just prior to the Iowa
battle. Some Of the Huskers are
still Juggling bruises and it has slowed
down the backheld.
DR.. Stewart, strongly against his
