Compensation Act in New York.

The state courts OF New York, and
some of smaller commonwealths, have
held that under the workmen's COM
pensation act one-eyed man who
loses his remaining eye. or a one-1eg-
ged man who loses his only leg. In
an Industrial accident must be com
pensated under the total disability"
clause. and this. the association fears.
will initiate strongly against the en-
ployment of partly disabled men.
This ruling. as you can readily see,
makes it practically impossible for a
partly disabled workman to secure en-
ployment in any of the hazardous in
dustries." wrote one large firm. I'm
our opinion and in that of most manu-
facturers with whom we have talked
regarding this matter the law ought to
be amended so that partly disabled
man after he has recovered from the
accident which disabled him should
then have the same status, as far as
other accidents are concerned, as
though he had never been disabled.
We believe that something of this kind
will have to be done if crippled soldiers
are to be employed in factories in
those states that have compulsory COM
penSation."

FINDING WORK FOR
CRIPPLED SOLDIERS
Employers Everywhere Willing
to Do Their Share in Help
ing the Disabled.
TWO OBSTACLES in WAY

Employers in every section Of the
United States, representing every large
industry, are willing to do their full
share in giving employment to men
partly disabled in the war. and only
two things can stand in the way of
finding a place for every ex-soldier
who is willing and able to do some-
thing useful-limited occupation suit
able for cripples and the present inter-
pretation of workmen's compensation
laws by the courts.
These are the salient points brought
out by a recent QUESTIONABLE conducted
by the National Association of Man
ufacturers, which received letters from
thousand manufacturers relative to
the employment of crippled soldiers.
Many industries. notably the steel. lum-
Der and mining vocations. generally
demand men of the best physique, but
the managers of many of these say
they are willing to show preference
for sabled soldiers by employing them
as elevator men. timekeepers or in
other places requiring minimum
amount of activity.

Jobs for Crippled Men.

Many of the replies. however, were
very encouraging. For example "a
Maryland chemical firm said it could
use from Is to 20 men to watch its
process machines. A Bridgeport chain
company said 1t could use 200 or 800
men with good eyesight and one good
arm. A clay products company in Ohio
wrote it could employ partly disabled
men as crane operators. tool room op-
orators and rivet heaters.

WHY TWO PRIcEs2

Just why should the Goa! produc-
ers charge the government one price
for coal, and the everyday consumer
a higher one?
Just why should the steel makers
give the government one price for
steel, and charge other consumers
double the price?
It Is fair to suppose that the coal
men and the steel makers are making
fair profit out of the price they
charge the government. If that is the
case, they are shaking down the con-
sumers for hundreds of millions of
additional profits.
If the coal men are selling to the
government at a loss. then they are
making up that loss out of the con-
sumner. II is a tax extorted by a pri-
vate corporation and turned over to
the government. Taxes should be
levied by the government, and if
there is then any credit to be passed
around, II will go to the consumers
where it belongs.
The government should demand
that the same price be charged the
general public that is charged the
government. If the price is fixed at
the mouth of the mine. there will be
no difference in what the coal costs
the producer. The different handling
charges can be adjusted later.
But above all the government
should see that the lower price is
passed along to the consumer, and
not next year, but now.

Notes From Vigilantes

The Vigilantes have set off a mine
under George Sylvester Viereck,
The Vigilantes quoted quantity of
seditious matter from Eiereck's So
called American Weekly" but there
is one choice bit they missed.
1t is this:
They (the German Americans)
are willing to give all for America
They are unwilling to give a farthing
for England"
Against that piece of cheap anglo
phobia we should like to set this
paragraph from Colonel Roosevelt's
Fourth of July speech:
ANY man who now announces that
although he fayors the United States
against Germany, yet he favors Ger
many against England, is a traitor
to America. There can be no half
and-half attitude in this war, and no
honorable man can afford to takd
such an attitude. We are now bound
by every consideration of loyalty and
good faith to our allies, and any OPP
position to them or any aid given to
their and our enemy is basely dis
honorable as regards our. allies and
reasonable as regards our own coun-
try"
We doubt very much whether any
German Americans who are unwill-
ing to give q farthing for one of our
allies can be trusted to give 'all for
America"

NEED SUBSTITUTE AT ONCE.

The necessity of finding some
agency to take the place of the grain
exchanges. and finding it at once, is
painfully apparent.
In the days when the exchanges
were active, and handling the export
trade. a farmer could find buyer for
his wheat at any time. Whether he
had 1000 bushels or 10000 the farm
er knew that he would find a purchas
er at the going price, without Difficult
ty. That was one of the good features
Of the exchanges. 1t isn't necessary
to dwell here on their evil features.
But it is becoming more and more
apparent that there will not be ready
purchasers for grain this coming fall,
unless some very prompt action is
taken. In some parts of the country,
elevators already are refusing to buy
grain, and 1t is taken merely for
storage. The farmer, meanwhile, has
to pay storage and interest charges
on his loans.
Unless some permanent and sub
stantial market is provided, and pro-
vided promptly, there will be a slump
in grain prices, which may force
many farmers to sell their crops at a
figure that will be below cost of pro-
duction. The bulk OF the crop will
fall into the hands of spectators with
big capital behind them. 1t will not
be because there will not be demand
for every bushel Of wheat in the coup-
keting it, is in a hopeless tumble, and
the farmer will be forced to sell for
what he can get.
Mr.. Hoover's plan is to form a
great wheat corporation somewhat on
the plan of the shipping board, and
buy the wheat from the farmers, lat
er Sapportioning it among the allies
and the domestic consumers. He
would have government buyers on
hand at terminals, and doubtless the
machinery OF the exchanges could be
made use Of.
Unless some such action is taken
at once, both the farmer and the
consumer will suffer for the benefit of
the middleman. Middlemen have a
service to render which must be paid
for. Neither the farmer nor the con-
sumner expects the middleman to be
on hand at the elevator to buy the
grain. store it, ship it, and market 1t,
for nothing, but it is intolerable that
the middleman should be both a dicta-
tor Of prices and a gambler in the
material he handles. He should be
an agent working for his fair share Of
the price paid for the wheat and
nothing more, or else he should be a
state or government employe working
in self-supporting department.
But meanwhile the government has
taken away the old middleman and is
unable to provide a substitute until
the senate wearies Of mulling over
the administration bills.

CIRCUS DAY.

OF course there is only one way
TO see a circus.
You must be 10 to Is years of age
preferably a boy.
If that requirement is fulfilled. you
should have worked and saved your
pennies for several weeks or months,
according to the ease with which
they came.
You should live in small town,
about the size Of Fargo, or even
smaller. You should arise about 4
q. m. and whistle up Spike" and
RED" from over in the next block.
Then the three of you, supplied with
sandwiches made the night before.
should steal down to the track where
the train will unload. BY the time
YOU have your sandwiches consumed
the first train should arrive.
For three or four glorious hours you
watch the unloading process, and
then head for the circus grounds, fol-
lowing the camel.
By this time the tented city is be-
ginning to arise. If you can get
some odd jobs to perform around the
lot, your savings are clear velvet"
and can be used for sideshows, pop
corn, peanuts and hot dogs. That
is, of course, a contamination de-
youtly to be wished. In that event
YOU can devote the afternoon to the
sideshows. saving the big show for
the last.
If you have time for hurried din
ner at noon you take it, and get
back 10 the grounds in time for il
long, wonderful afternoon at the
sideshows.
After supper you are back at the
grounds shortly after six o'clock, to
spend two hours in the menagerie
and speculate on what the different
animals would do If they 81 out.
Then provided with enough forage
for the evening performance you get
seats right next the reserved sec
ton, by the simple process of
"scrooging in"
So comes the end of a perfect day
and let the morrow take care of
itself.
Unfortunately, when you are 20 or
80, or so or 10. your keen enjoy
ment of the day is dulled, but there
are few humans. who once a year at
least, do not respond to the gilt and
glitter and life of the big show.
I'VE are anarchists now and we
shall be anarchists when we come
out" shouted Emma Goldman, as she
and her friend Alexander Berkman
were being driven off to federal pris-
on to remain two years.
That should simplify matters.
Neither is an American citizen. and
II one ship is left by the submarines,
Uncle Sam can permanently solve
the problem.

An Editorial That May or May Not

Opinions.

The Kansas City Star: With be-
coming diffidence may it be sug-
gested from the safe distance of Kan
sas City that it is hardly becoming
in war time for the government to
permit it's clerks to work only seven
hours a day with 30-day vacation?
This mild protest is put forth with
diffidence because The Star recalls
the tremendous wrath which Repre-
sentative Borland called down on hia
head last year when he proposed in
congress that the clerks might work
eight hours a day. To an outsider it
proposal, and not one to get excited
about. But Washington could not
have been more stirred If the cruel
Mr.. Borland had proposed to de-
prive it of life, liberty and the pur.
suit of happiness.
His mail was flooded with indig-
nant letters. The local newspapers
denounced him. Ministers preached
sermons against him and his mon
strous proposals. At receptions
Washington women would reproach
him for trying to ruin the city.

have changed to the eight hour day
with some grumbling. but still with
out violence. The real trouble arose
from the real estate men, merchants
and bankers. For it is self evident
that the shorter time the clerks
work, the more clerks there must be
to do the work, and the more clerks,
the more families to house, the more
grocery bills to be paid, and the bet
ter business for banks.
Washington business men did not
propose to permit the nation to save
money through efficiency, when they
had a financial interest in waste.
They were able to control congress
and Mr.. Borland's hated scheme for
economy was at once sat on.
II is with due respect for the power
of the Washington merchants over
this government that The Star mod
estly ventures to ask whether they
won't release their strange hold on
Uncle Sam in war time and permit.
the nation to work its employees in
Washington as many hours as they
work in Kansas City.
