Approved by the employers of the
state and the representatives of the

in conference on the measure, the
first aid bill drafted by Mark E. Reed
was introduced in the house as a

measure embodies ideas taken from
the various first aid bills which have
been submitted to the legislature
since the establishment of the indus
trial insurance commission and is in
effect compromise measure, which
it Is hoped by. those who have been
working on it will meet with the ap-
prevail of the Federation of Labor
and the state employers of labor.
This hope was dispelled right soon,
however, when H. l.. Hughes, legis-
lative agent of the Federation, an
nounced that 1t would not compro-
mise its own proposals In reference
to medical attendance and first aid
enactments to complete the state 'sys-
tenn Of Industrial insurance and that
the measures proposed do not meet

that they would fight them with q

The legislature is taking steps to

and loan act Of 1913, in which there
has since been discovered loophole
which several get-rich-quick concerns
in the state have taken advantage Of.
in the provision permitting MEM
bership fee Of 81 share. The prac-
tical operation of the 81 per share
membership or withdrawal fee is to
make it impossible for a depositor
having regular installment stock to
withdraw in less than three and a
half years and get even HIS principal
back. The guileless patron. unfa-
miliar with banking, perhaps may de-
post $50 and subscribe for Is shores
OF stock for which he makes monthly
payments. Should the depositor
want to withdraw after few months
he discovers that the savings and
loan concern has taken his $50 and
that he simply paid that amount for
the privilege Of opening an account.
One concern in Seattle has collected
more than $4,000 in the last year in
these membership fees while its as
sets are only $4,000. In justice to
the Olympia Building & Loan Asso-
citation. it should be added that not
