meet
Men From All Parts of State
Are in Topeka.
To Form a Cooperative Or
ganiZatiOn for Mutual Benefit.

Plans for the organization of the
Kansas Employers aSsociation-pri-
narily a cooperation of employers in
the state to see that industrial legisla-
ton accomplishes the purposes for
which it is enacted-are being per-
fected today at a meeting of coal oper-
ators, millers, general contractors,
representatives of smaller railways
and other employers of large numbers
of persons. Men in attendance at the
meeting are here from all parts of the
state.
Following preliminary steps in the
organization of the new association,
informal talks were made this after
noon by George Wrightman, secretary
and treasurer of the Iowa State Manu-
facturers' association of Des Moines,
Ia; J. C. Adderly, secretary of the
Mutual Casualty company of Chicago,
Ill; and George Topping of Wichita,
secretary of the Southwestern Millers'
league. Paul Mcbride, state labor
commissioner, has been invited to de-
liver an address and will probably be
present late this afternoon.
A recess will be held at $50 o'clock
when employers who are participant
ing in the meeting will attend a dinner
at the Commercial club An effort
will be made to complete the organic
alton at a session to be held tonight
Today's meeting is the outgrowth of
one held in Topeka February when
preliminary steps toward laying the
foundation for the organization were
taken. At that time responses were
heard from numerous employers
throughout the state who had been
Queried as to the advisab ility of effect
ing the organization. OF the 800 an
swers received by the committee ap-
pointed to get in touch with employ
ers only ten were unfavorable.
The association is the result of
meeting held in Topeka in December
when employers discussed a recent
Kansas supreme court decision, relat-
ing to the Kansas Workmen's COM
pensation law. The character of this
decision is such that an employer can
be compelled by an injured workman
to make a lump sum settlement for
future impairment of earning capacity
or be hailed into court where a jury
will be instructed to determine what
the injured workman can earn in the
future.
Members of a committee appointed
at the December meeting to arrange
preliminary details for the organiZa-
ton are Henry Bennett, chairman; H.
K. Brooks and w. F. Axtell

.HAISELDEN KICKED OUT
Medical Society Drops Doctor for
Permitting Bollinger Baby's Death.

Chicago, March 15.-Dr. Harry ].
Haiselden was dropped by the Chi
cago Medical society at its meeting in
the Hotel Sherman Tuesday night.
The charges against Doctor HaiseI-
den grew out OF the baby Bollinger
case. The surgeon, in charge of the
German-American hospital, refused to
operate on the baby to try to save it's
life, on the grounds that the infant
was a defective and that it would be
better for the human race to let it
die.
The Chicago Medical society
charged that he passed judgment on
a human life where he had no au-
thority and also that he was unethi-
cal in writing a book on the Bollin-
ger baby. His signed articles on the
case were considered unethical in that
they were personal advertising.

$25O,OOO, 900 A YEAR NEEDED
The Estimate of S1,25o,ooo,ooo In

hington-Railroads will need
$1,250,0OO,0OO additional capital an
nually for the next 10 or II years to
increase their facilities TO handle the
country's growing commerce, Alfred
p. Thorn, counsel for the railway exc
cutive's advisory committee, told the
congressional railroad investigating
committee that on behalf of the rail
roads about $250,000,000 a year ad-
ditional will be required, he said, to
refund maturing Indebtedness.
Ito attract investors, Mr. Thorn
suggested that federal regulation
should replace the present system Of
authority divided between the states
and the central government. He cited
examples Of injustice and hampering
of railroad financing caused by state
control and bond and stock issues by
interstate roads.
Referring to the need of additional
railroad facilities, Mr.. Thorn said:
ut has been found that the wealth
of the countr yhas been increasing
eight or nine per cent a year and
the same ratio Of increase has held
good as to the demand for transpor-
tation. For the next 10, or 10 years,
at least, the investment in railroad
facilities to meet the large require
ments Of the future must consequent
ly grow at a corresponding annual
rate OF increase"
The estimate Of $1,250,000,000 for
additional transportation facilities in
lcudes nothing for extensions into new
territory, he added.
Where is this money to come
from?" asked Mr.. Thorn. "This prob
lem is one of vital interest to the
public because on its successful solu-
ton depend the commercial facilities
OF the country.
Would il do to confront the in
weston with a situation where the rev.
enues of the railroads are not subject
to the control of the investors, but
are governmental authority and by
many unco-ordinated state authori-
ties?"
