Many LAWS MADE
AFFECTING LABOR

Uncle Sam has made a survey of the
legislation of interest to labor enacted
during the last year, and finds that
action of this character was taken in
forty states. in which either regular
or extra sessions of the legislatures
we're held. A summary of labor legis-
| lation issued by the bureau of labor
statistics of the United States depart
ment of labor says:
aside from the enactment of work
mems compensation laws, perhaps the
most significant feature Of the legia-
lation of the year is t~he>growth of the
industrial commission plan. uniting in
one authority the administration OF
workmen's compensation. factory in
spection and other labor laws. This
plan was adopted in 1915 inc Colorado
Indiana. Montana, Nevada and New
York.
Unemployment Gets Attention.
Especially notable in the legisla-
ton of the year was the attention CIV
eff to the subject of unemployment and
public employment Offices. In Hi
pois a commission of unemployment
consisting of three representatives OF
labor. three of employers, and three
of the public, was established to re-
sort ct the next legislative session. In
connection with the state employment
! offices. a general advisory board was
established to investigate and deal
with unemployment. California and
| Nevada passed resolutions calling for
i investigation of unemployment. ID
Idaho emergency employment is to pc
provided by county boards of commits
! sioners for unemployed citizens OF the
| United States who have been for SIX
months residents of the state. Ell
provision was made for the extension
rates to be fixed by the county boards

kind to be furnished any person WITH

is to be borne by the state. and refusal

BRITISH DRIVE ON TO

Forces Marching to Relief Of
Kut-EI-Amara Outnumbered,
But Push Forward.

LONDON. Jan. 11.--British forces
marching to the relief OF Kut-El-
Amara. are within seventeen miles of
the beleaguered garrison, according
to best information available here
today.
They must fight their way eastward
through a Turkish army believed to
outnumber them two to one. No news
OF the fate OF the kut- -El-Amara gar
rison has reached London since the
arrival of official dispatches covering
Saturday nights fighting and 1t is
believed possible the decisive battle
already has been fought.
Like Ladysmith Horror.
Not since the Beers surrounded q
British force at Ladysmith has Brit
ish army faced a similar peril. For
that reason news Of the progress OF
the relief expedition Is being awaited
with the greatest anxiety, il not
alarm.
The latest dispatches indicated that
the relief forces under General AyI-
mer and General Campbell were at
grips with the Turks in the bend of
the Tigris. east of kut-El-Amara.
were impeding the British advance.
Though details are almost completely
lacking, II II believed here that the
Turks encircled the British right at
kut-El-Amara, throwing q strong force
between tho garrison and the river
Tigris. Constantinople reported such an
enveloping movement in progress a
week ago. II this fs true. the relief ex-
pedition must fight its way eastward
through this force to save the Garrison
from capture.

situation hopefully. t-El-Amara. un-
doubtedly, is provisioDed sufficiently 10

who intended that Kut-El- -Amara's for
tifications should check the Br.eish ad-
vance into Mesopotamia. Che British
improved these works when they took
