Must Insure Employees,

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. l6. The
state supreme court has upheld q
of the Ohio workmen's compensa-
ton act, which provides that en-
ployers falling to insure their work
men are liable for damages awarded
by the state industrial commission.
Several hundred cases throughout
the state have been left undecided
until the highest court rendered
final decision on the legality of this
section, which was nullifed in the
common pleas court of this county.
This decision was reversed by the
court Is now sustained by the state
supreme court.

Only Strong Unions Enforce
Arbitration.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb, 10
Editor Cohen of the Labor World
agrees with Judge w. B. Garvin of
the chancery court that the Typo
graphical union should be compli-
mented because it has established
the principle of arbitration with
newspapers of this country.
The laoor editor, however, has
not forgotten trade union history,
for he recalls the fact that only d
few years ago the printers found It
necessary to resort to strikes all
over the United States to establish
the eight-hour day in the job
branch.
The printers can afford to sign
arbitration agreements, he says,
for the simple reason that they
are we'll organized, have a strong
treasury and can meet their en-
ployers on something near an equal
footing
It has been the experience of
all organizations that they must
pass through a fighting stage.
In other words, capital has to oe
shown before it is willing to ar
bitrate. 1t will not conceae that
there is any hing to arbitrate, as 9
general proposition, until il has
been thoroughly licked The
Typographical union seems to have
passed this stage, but in the future
as in the past, this union will fight
as stTenuously as any other for the
principles of organized labor if the
occasion arises. Comparison Of ar
bitration, as known to the printers
and as experienced by organiza
tioms struggling for existence is
useless, as the cases are by nc
means PARALLEL "

Wage Bonus System Devoid
OF Justice.

Cincinnati, Feb. 16. Workers
in the clerical departments of rail
roads do not want bonuses based
on "a recognition of the high cost
of living" They want justice,
says the Railway Clerk, official
magazine of the Brotherho d of
Railway Clerks.
Only by organizing, as the en-
gineers, the fremen, the conduc-
tors, the trainmer, the operators,
the switchmen and the shopmen
have done can the station service
men hope to secure square deal
from the officials, I" continues this
magazine.
Furthermore, the bonus guaran-
tees you nothing as tc the future
You may receive $50 on your sal
ary this year and be the victim of
a 10 per cent reduction In wages
next year. Only by banding to-
gether for the protection and ad-
vancement of mutual interests can
real justice and recognition of ser
vices rendered be obtained and only
such action as is based on the prin
ciple of collective bargaining will
bring you permanent benefits.

Little Gertrude had been very naughty

promise of another dose from father

She sat on the floor, her eyes filled

with determined look upon her little

mother.
"Out to tell the family secrets to the
