Low WAGES. KILLED
MERCHANT MARINE
Furuseth Tells How and Why
America Lost It's Power On
the Seas. -.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. GA
discussion of the working of the
American Seamen's Law took place
at the meeting of the American Asso-
citation for Labor Legislation at the
Shoreham Hotel last week. The meet
ing, which was opened by Secretary
Andrew Furueth, president of the In
ternational Seamen's Union; Prof.
Henry w. Farnam, Of Yale. and DR..
Frederick L. Hoffman, Of the Pru-
Dental Insurance Company of
America.
That the shortage of American
merchant marine was due to the de-
cay Of American seamanship was
claimed by Andrew Furuseth.
"Sea power" he said, lis in the
seamen, and the race or nation whose
citizens or subjects leave the sea
must lose it's sea power. The advice
of the ship owners has always been
taken by Congress. The seaman's
voice has never been heard, and the
result is that, at the beginning Of the
present war, the United States had
very few ships in the foreign trade.
White men are leaving the sea, and
their places are taken by men Of
African and Asiatic races. Men with
out knowledge of the language Of the
officers and without sufficient practi-
cal experience to know how to obey
orders are destructive of safety, and
hence loss Of life at sea has been in
creasing. For these reasons the Sea-
mems Act provides for a verbal un-
derstanding of orders and technical
ability to obey orders.
IF any element of safety to the
passengers and anything like an
equal opportunity for the Americans
on the sea is desired the Seamen's
Act will have to be protected and
properly administered"

Industrial Commission So Holds
In Deciding a Wisconsin Case
Ruling Taken to Courts

Decision recently handed down by
the Wisconsin industrial commission.
aenying compensation to the parent.
Of Elmer Narath, 16, killed as the re-
suit Of injuries sustained in an ele-
vator accident last April, has Great
ed much comment AMONG Wisconsin
lawyers.
This case will be taken into the
courts" declared Hubert o. Wolfe,
attorney for the applicants I'VE pro-
pose to see whether the supreme
court will say that parents are tinan-
cially aided by having their minor
children killed. To carry this deci-
sion to its logical conclusion, one
might say that where parents are so
fortunate as to have two minor sons
killed in the same accident, they
would be indebted to the parties re-
sponsible for the DEATH"
The decision Of the commission
reads:
1T is the conclusion Of the COM
mission, on the testimony in this case,
that there can be no recovery of
death benefit; this for the reason
that there was no contribution by the
deceased to the support Of the appli-
cant during the year previous to the
accident.
1.-THE deceased came to his death
April 20, 1915, as the result Of an
elevator accident April 8, 1915. At
that time he was 16, fresh from
school. and had worked only two
weeks prior to his injury at weekly
wage Of SO. He had made some small
earnings by selling papers after
school hours. All Of his earnings,
however, were not sufficient to main
tain, support and clothe him. The ap-
pltcants are his parents. A parent

c compensation act, as to whom a con-

and wrongs must be righted. Oppor-
tunity to work at a wage to be fixed
w the employer alone does not meet

Of the wealth produced.
1T is freely admitted on both sides
of the controversy that the miners in
the Clifton Morenect;=Metcalf district
were not getting q fair share Of the
profits and that the conditions for
the performance Of labor were not as
they should be. The: complaints of
the miners were Just and their griev-
ances fully warranted a strike. This
is statement of fact. Talk about
the presence of Meyer and the in
vasion Of outside agitators, when the
facts are so we'll known, appears as
a subterfuge-an evasion of the real
issue-a stall-a step to the side-a
begging of time, hoping and praying
that under the natural suspense and
anxiety Of which the workers are liv.

Representatives OF local pres smen's
unions in Illinois met in Peoria, H..
last week and organized the Illinois
State League OF the International Print
ing Pressmen and Assistants Union. The
purpose of the organization primarily
is to secure uniformity OF wage scales
thruout the state so that all publishers
in cities of the same size will have to
paw the same weekly scale of wages.
Another feature of the organization
will be the formation of an employment
bureau so that pressmen out of work
may be acquainted with positions open
in other parts of Illinois.
The big feature OF the meeting was an
address by George J.. Berry of Rogers
vile, Tenn. president of the Interna-
,ional Union. Mr. Berry came unan-
nounced and his visit was greatly ap-
preciated. lie reviewed the history of
the union, pointing out that in 1900
there were l6.OO0 members as compared
with 36.oO1 now. He said the pressmen
have not had strike in three years.
