Reduced Rates for Workmen's Com
pensation.
bennington Banner.)

Insurers under the workmen 5 com
pensation act have, in some lines, been
notified Of decrease in rates for the
coming year. n many cases the cost
Of workmen S compensation insurance
was already less than the old cost of
liability insurance which employers
had to carry in self defense but which
gave employees nothing except d law
suit and this new reduction voluntarily
made by the companies renders the
eost still more reasonable. The rate OF
compensation insurance under the Yer
mont law is less than most of the
other states while the benefit to the
injured workman here is prompt and
so much more generous than the old
system as to be reasonably satisfac-
tory. The Vermont law needs some
few amendments but for Il first draft
it seems to be working out better
than most radically new laws. As the
original promoter of q workmen com
peasation act in Vermont The Banner
is naturally deeply gratifed that it i
no worse.

GREEK REVOLT
 IS IMMINENT
yENlzS,os GAINS IN STRENGTH
Civilians and Military Alike are Growing Discontented and an tp- rising Is Likely Unless Greece En- ters the War.

ATHENS, May 16.-An impartial observer, who has just returned from a tour of the mainland Of Greece, re- ports an amazing spread of sentiment in favor of VeniZelos, the former premier. The recent effort of the government to suppress the meeting of the Venizelos adherents has awak- ened deep resentment among the peo- pie and there is growing determlna- tion to oust the present government even if it be necessary to resort 70 force of arms.
 It is said that several leaders of the revolt of 1909 are actively engag- ed in planning similar attempt, al- though Venizelos deprecates a move of this kind.
 King Constantine appears convinc- ed that a majority of the Greek peo- pie approve of the policy of inaction, and that the growing popularity of Venizelos is merely a political man. euver.
 The Greek soldiers, however, open 1y express their discontent with con- ditions and openly attend the Venize- los demonstrations. Even the officers of the army, except those in highest command, are reported to be discon- tented, notwithstanding that an in crease of pay has been granted them.
 Neutral observers state that pres ent conditions cannot last sixty days longer and will undoubtedly end in a war on the side of the allies.

Continuation of Execution Of Irish
 
 Reyolutionists Likely to Lead to the Disloyalty of Nationalist> and Another Revolt.

DUBLIN, May 16.--It is freely pre- 'dicted here that if the execution of the men implicated ill the recent Irish revolution is continued it will induce disloyalty among the hitherto loyal Nationalists, and that another upris- ing will occur in the near future, of a magnitude that will include practi- cally every resident of the country.
 This danger will be impressed upon Premier Asquith, and it is believed that through him the executions will cease. It is said that the executions have found little favor with the pre- mier at any time. but because of ex- isting conditions he has not interfer- ed in the findings and sentences of the court martial.
