AGREE ON COMPENSATION ACT.

Louisville, ky-A commission has
finally agreed on proposed workmcn's
compensation act and will submit same
to the state legislature, now in session.
An elective system Of compensation is
provided for, and employers may carry
Stock-cumpany insurance, carry their
own risk upon proof Of solvency, or in
sure in state mutual similar to the
Massachusetts and Texas plans. The
maximum weekly benefit to be paid in
jurcd workers, is placed at Sl2. and the
maximum for death or total disability
is $1,000.
The last legislature passed a compcn-
satlon act, but this was declared illegal
by Judge Dorsey on the ground that the
state constitution prohibits a limit being
placed on the amount of damages to be
paid in case OF death Advocates Of
compensation held that this made it i'm
possible ior any relief under the pres
cnt constitution, and the court OF appeals
modified Judge Dorscy's opinion.

HIGH WAGES BRINGS HEALTH.

Washington.-"Physicians are batter
ing against brick wall in their fight
against i'll health if they do not favor
high wages" said Major-Gencral Gorgas,
Surgcon-Gencral Of the United States
Army, in a speech to the Convention of
the American Civic Association.
THE best work that civic and social
organizations can do now he said, is
to declare for better wages, which will
be followed Immediately by better living
conditions and better health" The army
officer said one OF the chief reasons why
the health problem had been solved in
the Panama Canal zone was because
there had been no cases of extreme pow
crty there.

WOODSMEN MUST ORGANIZE.

Duluth, Minn.-"A few weeks ago a
group OF lumber barons met in a room
in a Duluth hotel and after discussing
the labor situation in the woods at some
length resolved to agree together to re
duce the wages OF the lumber jacks to
$50 month, says the Labor World Of
this city.
But the lumber barons will do moth
ing to improve the conditions Of the
men employed in the woods. They will
not correct the wrongs they have i'm
posed on the men. They profit by their
nlqultous system Of exploitation. and
occasional murmurs from Disconnected
individual woodsmcn do not give them
any worry
III the woodsmcn were organized,
however, as they should be, there would
be different story to tell about their
lot in the woods When will they
awaken, The lumber barons reduced
wages by meeting and combining. The
men can raise their wages by and
through the same method. 1t is up TO
them

HIGH DUES MEAN PROGRESS

Chicago.-Under the caption Union
Preparedness, the Union Leader, off
cial magazine of the electric railway en-
ployes of this city, says:
"One of the great drawbacks to our
unions is the lack of spirit among our
members to properly finance them The
merchant or manufacturer who is con-
Quoting growing business, ever seek
ing to expand and cover new fields,
puts more and more money into his
business to protect what he has and
to reach ollt for more. 1t is different
with the average trade union. Wage
movements are instituted and won,
great gains are realized by the mem
bership and not a dollar of the thou
sands and millions of wage increases is
added to the union treasury to help
protect advanced conditions and to
forge ahead for something better.
"Shoestring financing of unions has
been responsible for many defeats
The union with good treasury, prop
erly safeguarded, is power to be
reckoned with and is sure to bring re-
suits. If we are to advance and estab-
lish conditions in industry which will
guarantee the workers more of the
better things of life we must build up
our union treasures. We must pre-
pare to meet the opposition that has
to be overcome before we can make
advances, and it takes money to put
up the fight
"A cheap people make no progress.
China is an example. A cheap union
is no different. Proper standards al
lowed for, the progress of union can

"SCIENTISTS" SCORED.

Wheeling, w Na.-Editor Hilton of
the Wheeling Majority is not in sym
pathy with iaddsts and alleged "scicn-
lists who are continually figuring on the
amount OF food necessary to sustain
worklngmcn. Says the Majority man:
Scientific is sometimes only name
for the ridiculous. One OF the April fool
customs Of imitation scientists is to fig
urc on what workngmcn can live on. A
scientist gets up an appetite for porter
house steak and mushrooms by spend
ing half day proving that a working
man can load bricks for nine hours on
two and a half spoonsful OF mush."

AGAINST "SPEEDING UP"

Washington. - In an address ON
speeding up systems in industry, DR..
IIayhurst, of the Ohio State Board of
Health, declared that the benefits derived
by workers are not in proportion to the
benefits gained by employers. Another
objectional feature, he declared, was the
fact that workmen do not receive enough
increased revenue to buy food to supply
the additional energy required by the in
creased work, and that the variety of en-
ployment which served as a rest was alb
sent in most so-callcd scientific sys-
tens.

workers are employed in over half a
