ADOPT COMPENSATION LAW
Two More Railroads in the State viii
Operate Under Provisions of
Workincmen's Act.

Madison - The industrial com
mission has announced that the
Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
way company and the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad COM
pany had filed elections to operate un-
der the provisions of the Wisconsin
WORK mems compensation law. These
elections apply to shopmen, section
hands. snd all other employees of these
railroad companies, except those en-
gagged in interstate commerce such as
trainmen. Employees engaged in inter
state commerce are subject to federal
law and their rights to recovery when
injured are governed by the federal
employers liability law.
Heretofore only two of the railroad
companies operating in Wisconsin
have been subject to the workmen's
compensation law: The 500 and the
Great Northern companies. All other
railroad companies in the state filed
elections not to come under the work
mems compensation law prior to Sept
1, 1918, when the Wisconsin law was
made applicable to all employers of
four or more employees who did not
file specific non-elections.
With the Northwestern and the Bur-
Iington companies now coming under
compensation, more than half of all
the railroad shopmen in the state are
protected by the compensation law.

Madison Gov. Phillip may not call
the special session of the legislature
until January. He said that he is un-
decided as TO the time and that a num-
Ser of members have asked him to de-
Ter the assemblage until after the
Christmas holiday
If Tie session is called for Decem-
Der an adjournment of two weeks for
the Christmas holidays is necessary
and for that reason am urged to de-
fer the call until after New Year, when
the session can be continuous" said
the governor.
He gave no definite indication as to
what will be included in the call. 1t is
known, however, that these five spe-
cihc statements viii be made to the
legislature for enactment into law:
Sunday closing of saloons: amending
the fish and game laws; amending the
drainage law; emergency war meas
ures and the vacancy in United States
senatorship.
Democrats who have given the sena-
torial situation a thorough study be-
lieye the governor can be compelled
to call special election, If the ap-
pointive power is withheld b. the leg
islature.
Joseph Martin of Green Bay. the
Democratic national committeeman,
said if the governor refuses to issue
the call that the secretary of state
could be mandamused sad that this
action would bring the senatorial sit
uation directly into the courts. Other
lawyers take the same view of the
situation.

points, Milwaukee, Madison, Fond du
Lac, Portage and Eau Claire The total
cost of their construction is to be S40,-
100000 of which the United States
pays a third, the state third and the

of the cost in the distribution of auto

The total cost of maintenance is esti-
mated at nearly 100000 a year. One
of the most important changes in

HARD LESSON

OMITTED Press STAR Correspondent.)
NEW YORK. May S.-Gov. Whitman
of New York didn't succeed in his de-
termination to kill of boxing in the
state of New York. but in his smashes
at the game he did one good turn for
sports in the United States when he re-
fused to allow Les Darcy to hight
And. in the same breath. 1t should be
remarked that IL Darcy had been prop
erly handled he undoubtedly would have
been allowed to go through with his
lighting and would have been happy now
in the possession of several thousand
American dollars
When the Australian scrapper came
to the United States he expressed him
self at once as being unanimously in
favor of gathering in a lot OF easy
American dollars and then going back
to fight for Great Britain He told news
papermen and others that Tim O'Sulli-
van was his manager and that no one
else would be allowed to direct his af
fairs. He wanted to fight and fight
quick. He set his eyes and heart on i'm
mediate combats with Mike Gibbons
Jack Dillon. or some equally famous
boxers. provided George Carpenter
couldn De brought TO the United states
Then Darcy sat down to wait and
fret. He waited and waited and wait
ed. When it was found that Carpenter
couldn't be exported to the United
States from France Darcy began to
pine for fights and Mike Gibbons began
to cheer up with the prospect of
ENHANCEMENT with the Australian But
it was not Gibbons who heard the call;
il was AL Mccoy. the halfsized champ
ion. Sentiment was too strong against
such a mill and Jack Dillon was elect
ed. Then Darcy. to keep up interest,
repudiated Tim O'Sullivan and started
out to handle his own affairs.
Then the governor got into the scrap
and landed a clean knockout.
The action of Gov. Whitman blazed
the trail for others. No state could
reasonably be expected to allow the
visiting bpxer to appear in a ring bout
in these war times. since he ran away
from Australia at time when he was
liable to service. The example would
be bad now. Darcy had better begin
a wait until after the war for boxing
activities.
