COMPENSATION LAWS
HELD CONSTITUTIONAL
Enactments of Three States Affecting
Workingmen Upheld by U. S.
Supreme Court.

New York's compulsory workmen'
compensation law was sustained as
generally constitutional by the Su-
preme Court of the United States today.
In giving the courts opinion first as
to railroad employees. Justice Pitney
lid the common law rules are not be-
yond alteration by the states. 1t was
held that employees have no unalterabl
night to common law defenses in per-
soNal injury damage suit.
The New York law cannot be said
to be arbitrary and unreasonable from
the standpoint of natural justice" said
Justice Pitney. "On the grounds of
natural justice it is not unrea sonabl
to require the employer to contribute
a reasonable compensation for loss of
earning power.
Neither is it arbitrary or unrea sona-
BILE from the employees standpoint"
The court also held that the New
York law applies to railroad employees
injured in interstate commerce in the
state.
The Iowa workmen's compensation
law. voluntary upon employers, also
was upheld as constitutional. The COM
pulsory workmen's compensation or
industrial insurance law of Washing
ton also was upheld as constitutional.

Midvale Steel Company.

During the earlier days of the war. or
rather Of the second year of the war. Mid
vale Steel attracted much attention. and
was largely purchased as an investment
and on speculation by Washington in
vestors and spectators. many of whom
sustained severe losses by overstay ing
their market.
The first annual report of the corpora
tion covering fifteen months of existence
ending December 81. 1916. shows that
the company has a working capital of
$50. .655, 13+ or nearly $40. so a share on its
entire outstanding stock. Its cash hold
inEs were close to sl2. 600. 0o0 rather re-
markable for a corporate so Young in
months. Il is estimated that the earn
ings for the fifteen months were at the
rate of $3.50 share annually and that
by the close Of the present month it is
expected that another $1,000. 900 will be
added to its surplus through the three
months operations of 1917.
