$4,000 GET COMPENSATION
Employers Not Liable in Most of the
Cases Before January 1, 1916.


More than eight hundred work.
ing men and women of Pennsyl
vania were killed and more than
$4,000 were injured in the course OF
their employment since the worh'
men compensation law, passed by
the last legislature, went into effect,
January l, 1916.
If these accidents had occurred be-
fore 1916, it is safe to say that in a
great majority of cases the employers
would not have been liable legally for
damages because it was necessary to
prove in court, first that the employer
was negligent; second, that the en-
ploye or any fellow-employe was not
negligent, and third, that the employe
had not assumed the risk, of accident.
Under the compensation law, these
proofs are not required. The only
cases where compensation now is no.
allowed are where the employe inten
tionally inflicts the injury upon him.
self, or the injury was causel by MS
intoXication or by an outside party fer
personal reasons. Domestic, farm la
borers and casual employees are ex
cluded from the benefits CT the act.
Compensation varies according to
the average weekly earnings Of the
employe and the number OF dependent
relatives if death ensues within 30
weeks of the date of the accident. Fci
injuries the compensation is not to ex
ceed $40 a week for a period not t.
exceed 500 weeks and for an amount
not to exceed $4,000
For death, it ranges from 800 for
funeral expenses where there are NJ
dependent relatives to more than $4,000
where there are a widow and large
number of children under sixteen
years of age.
In the case of death, compensation
must go on until the youngest child
is sixteen years of age.

NO CONDITIONS
TO U-BOAT WAR
Wilson Says Germany Cannot
Dictate to u. s.
MUST ADHERE TO POLICY

President In Note to Berlin Says
Break Can Be Averted if Subma-
rines Pursue Attacks Under Latest
Instructions.
President Wilson will not allow Ger
many to dictate to the United States
| what atand this nation will take in its
negotiations with Great Britain.
This stand was taken in note to
Germany, covering the submarine IS
sue and in reply to the note from
Berlin in which Germany agreed 10
alter her U-boat campaign. The note
tells Germany diplomatic relations Will
not be broken while the new orders
TO submarine commanders are respect
ed, but reiterates that any negotiations
between Germany and the United
States cannot be conditioned on nego'
tiations between the United States
and Great Britain.
The note despatched to Berlin was
very brief 1t told OF the acceptance
of the same, of the conditions emDodl-
ed in the new Berlin regulations for
submarine attacks, but insists that
Germany adhere to the new policy
and that only a strict adherence 10
these rules will prevent diplomatic
break.
President Wilson stands by the
United States demand that Germany
cease her attacks on vessels in VIOLA
ton of international law, regardless
of negotiations which may be carrier
on with Great Britain over the food
blockade.
A German note acknowledging
responsibility for the destruction OF
the steamship Sussex, promising repair
alton and announcing punishment Oh
the submarine commander was recelV-
ed at the state department from the
American ambassador at Berlin, James
w. Gerard.
The text of the note reveals that
Germany, while contending that the
submarine commander acted in the
bona fide belief that he was facing an
enemy warship" wien he torpedoed
the Sussex, nevertheless says he form
ed his judgment too huriedly, and did
not act in struct accordance with his
instructions, and the imperial govern
ment therefore frankly admi-s that as
surances given the United States were
not adhered to in tnis instance.
The note expresses sincere regret
regarding the deplorable incident" and
declares Germany's readiness to pay
an adequate indemnity to injured
American citizens. 1t says the Ger
man government "disapproves OF the
conduct of the commander, who has
been appropriately punished" and
voices the hope that the United
States will consider the case settled.

nation establishing. an Irish repuDhc,
were executed in Dublin, it was otflci'
ally announced.
The two leaders were convicted by
a court-martial Tuesday and sentenced
to death. The sentence in each case
was approved by General Maxwell, in
command of the government forces IN
Ireland.
General Connolly was wounded in
the fighting for the general postotiice
in Dublin and surrendered. The exc
cution of McDermott leaves only
canon Ceannt, of the seven signers OF
the republican proclamation, still
alive, the others having been shot.
Premier Asquith arrived in Dublin
to investigate for himself conditions
in Ireland following the recent revolt.
AS a result of his visit it is expected
that martial law will soon be ended
and civil administration restored.
The premier drove through several
streets lined by wrecked buildings and
also viewed the damage done to the
vice regal lodge.
Suspension of military trials has al
ready been ordered, pending confer
ences which are to take place.
The premier met General John Max
we'll and several military officers.
Later in the day he Is to confer with
civil authorities at Dublin.
1t was announced shortly after the
premier arrived that court-martial
had been ordered to try the officer held
responsible for the execution of Shee'
by Skef1ington, the Irish editor, whith
has aroused deep resentment through.
out Ireland.
Several Thousand messages protes..
ing against further executions of rebel
leaders have been received by the

ireland. The letters came from both
Ulster and National counties. Many

not to scattLr the sparks OF a new re-
volt by harsh repressive measures
arousing the sympathy OF the whole
Irish people.
The prime minister, though agreeing
with government critics that the shoot
ing OF Skeffington was apparently an
atrocious act, thoroughly approves the
execution of the fourteen Separa:is:
leaders.
Political writer's differed as to
whether Premier Asquith will attempt
to establish some sort of home rule
for Ireland on his present visit, thus
eliminating the cause for dissaffection
in the Nationalist counties. The VS.
papers all expressed the hope that the
prime minister will find way to con.
ciliate hostile sentiment in Ireland.
