COMPENSATION LAW
DOUBLY SUPPORTED

Columbus, Ohio-Section % of the
Ohio workmen's compensation law per-
mits an employer to carry his own com
pensation insurance on proof that he
possesses sufficient financial resources to
protect employees. Private insurance
companies are attacking this feature Of
the law, together with other provisions
of the enactment.
The question is now being considered
by the State Supreme Court, and attor-
neys for the State Federation of Labor
are defending the law. Daniel J. Ryan,
general counsel for the Ohio NIanufac-
turers Association, appearing before the
court as "a friend of the court" called
attention to what is commonly known
as the general welfare" amendment to
the State constitution, which was adopt
ed at the same time the people voted in
favor OF the workmens compensation
amendment
The general welfare" amendment
empowers the legislature to provide
for. the comfort, health, safety and gen.
eral welfare of all employees" and con-
tinues this amendment mo other pro-
vision OF the constitution shall impair
or limit this power"
Attorney Ryan told the court that in
dependent of the amendment to the con-
stitution which specifically authorized
compensation, the workmen's compensa-
ton law, as passed by the legislature
is still valid under the general welfare"
constitutional amendment. While ndi-
eating his disapproval of the latter
amendment because of its sweeping ma
ture, he said:
This section is extremely radical and
far-reaching, but it is in the constitution
and can not be ignored. Its purpose is
to give the legislature power to pass hui
name laws in conformity with modern
industrial development, and under it any
law having for its object the general
welfare of all employees is valid, provid-
ing it is not against the federal consti-
tuition"
In answer to the claim that section
% is not uniform in its operation, the
attorney said
1.-TWO men have committed bailable
offense; one is able to give bond, the
other is not one goes free until his
trial, the other is committed to Jail. This
is not a discrimination, and yet it re-
quires financial ability to give bond tc
secure liberty. Two men are elected tc
office; one can give the bond, the othel
can not the one who gives the bond il
inducted into office, the other, who car
not, forfeits his right thereto"

Model In Tone
People See Own Thoughts In Presidents Words Says
New York Tin,es.-Just and Perfect Reply.
No Praise Could Surpass Merit of Answer to Berlin
Metropolitan Daily Declares.

President Wilson has the support of
the united American people in the matter
of his reply to the latest German note
on submarine warfare, says the New
York Times, strong Republican paper,
of May 9, in a ringing editorial, entitled
There Spoke America" 1t is tire
mendously imperative note" says The
Times, "but not extensively so to any
clear conscience" The editorial, which
is one of the most vigorous utterances
in support of the Presidents foreign
policy which has yet appeared, is as
follows:
"The people of the United States
hear their own voice and read their own
thought in the note that went from
Washington to Berlin yesterday 1t
commands admiration as the Just and
perfect answer to Germany's word that
came to us in such questionable shape
1t is model in form, in tone, in brevity
No commentator of it would be mis-
applied, nor could any praise Slrpass its
merit.
Accept No Conditions.
"We accept no conditions. Limiting
mental reservations, if there were any,
we cast out. We are the dupe of no
ambiguity or adroitness of phrasing.
Germany puts forward the general
principles of visit and search and the
destruction of merchant vessels recog-
nized by international law For that
we substitute the recognized rules of
international law upon which the Gov
ernment of the United States has in
sisted,' thus shutting out the plea that
merchant ships armed for defense are
vessels of war; point as to which we
have already taken Our position. The
German intimaton that submarines may
resume their wicked work if we do not
attempt, or if we fail in the attempt,
to persuade England to modify her
blockade we sweep aside by most per-
emptory challenge and rejection. TO
avoid any possible misunderstanding
the Government Of the United States
notifies the Imperial Government that it
can not for a moment entertain, much
less discuss, suggestion that respect
by German authorities for the rights OF
citizens of the United States upon the
high seas should in any way or in the
slightest degree be made contingent upon
the conduct of any other Government
affecting the rights of neutrals and non
combatants' That is impregnably sound,
sustained by custom and prescription,
incontestable in law and morals.
Imperative But Not Offensive.
at is tremendously imperative note,

COURT RULE EXTENDS HOURS

Madison, Wis.-ln the opinion Of Paul
Watrous, secretary OF the State indus
trial commission, the recent decision Of
the State supreme court on the women's
1O-hour law will legalize 10 hours work
for women when portion OF the work
is performed after s p. m. The law
provides that day work shall be 10 hours
and night hours. The legislature failed
to provide for where a part OF the work
is done at night and a part during the
day. The industrial commission has
ruled that eight hours shall apply in this
case. The decision was appealed to the
State supreme court, which reversed this
ruling and incidentally held that the
commission has no power to function
legislatively.
Secretary Watrous makes this COM
ment on the courts decision:
"The opinion of the court undoubted-
ly upholds the 1O-hour principle for day
work, with maximum OF 80 hours a
week, and the S-hour principle for night
work, with a maximum OF IS hours. But
the court holds that if portion OF the
work is done in the daytime and part at
night, the employer may work his help
10 hours. The commission has always
ruled that if any part OF the work was
done at night the S-hour rule was ap-
plicable.
THE effect is to give restaurant keep
ers the right to work their help 10 hours
even though the period of labor ex-
tends into the night Stated simply, the
new rule is. take it. that from now
on employers may work women 10 hours
a day and 50 hours week unless all the
work is performed between s p. m. and
6 a. m.
"The question of course knocks out our
legislative powers absolutely. Our gen.
eral supervisory powers over the en-
forcement of the law is not, we think,
affected"

SHINGLE WEAVERS ADVANCE.

Seattle, Wash-Officers of the Inter
national Shingle Weavers' Union report
steady gains in their effort to enforce a
wage scale adopted at their last con-
vention. Compared with the past few
years, shingle mills throughout the
northwest are prosperous, but despite
this fact the shingle weavers have been
forced to call numerous strikes to re-
mind mill owners of their last years
promise to pay the 1907 rates. The mill
owners have been pleading that the high
price of logs makes this impossible. The
workers reply that flour and meat are
also included in the high price list and
that wages must be increased. AS the
Sfingle weavers have reorganized their
union and are thoroughly united the en-
ployers are paying the new rates, rather
than see their mills idle.

TEANISTER DEFENDS GIRLS.

San Francisco.-Big Michael Casey,
vice-president of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, paid his
compliments to people who overlook
low wages while talking on protecting
the morals of girls.
At meeting of the California Club
one woman inquired if jtney buses did
not have bad effect on the moral side
of females. The question was discussed
with much solemnity and thought until
Casey asked to be heard for the pur-
pose of presenting "some facts which
may prove helpful to those who are in
terested in safeguarding the morals of
young working girls"
When Casey sat down his auditors
gave thought to the problem of how a
Girl can live on $3.50 week.

BROOM MAKERS STRIKE.

the places of other girls, who struck
a year ago. 1t is stated that wages paid
by this concern are so per cent less than
the union rates and that it is the only
broom factory in the country that en-
ploys females. While the previous strike
was in progress the foreman was
brought into the morals court on COM
plant of girls and fined.

STRIKE GUARDS ARRESTED.

T;ffin, Ohio.-Four strike guards en-
ployed by the Webster Manufacturing
company have been arrested in connec-
ton with the killing of Albert Latona,
a striker, and the wounding of two
other persons. AS result of the as
sault by these thugs 700 employees, who
have heretofore refused to strike, have
joined the union iron molders, who are
attempting to enforce q shorter work
day demand. The company declined to
confer with its iron molders and i'm
ported strkebreakers and guards. The
city is in ferment as result.

but not extensively SO to any clear con-
science. We have but taken Germany
at her word. She told us of her pur-
pose henceforth to coniine the opera
tions of war to the fighting forces of
the belligercnts.' She told us of the
new orders to her naval commanders.
We accept her declaration that the old,
lawless practices have been abandoned,
and we say to her that we shall rely
upon scrupulous execution henceforth
of the now altered policy of the Imperial
Government, such as will remove the
principal danger of an interruption of
the good relations existing between the
United States and Germany No men
ton is made of the pledge given last
September, but the words "a scrupulous
execution henceforth' bring it wildly to
mind. There is no room for mistakes.

Germany Knows Penalty.

"To have foreshadowed Our course of
action should German submarines now
dsobey their orders and give us fresh
provocation, would have been superlu-
Gus. Germany and all the world know
what will happen. The policy which
has so seriously menaced the good rela-
tions between the two countries has
been abandoned. We hope there will
be no return to it, for nothing but mo-
tives of friendship, as the note says,
has guided us and restrained us in our
patient efforts to avoid break. We
hope in all sincerity that no new act of
lawlessness will come to force us to a
decision we have SO long put off.
