Compensation
Insurance Companies Appeal to the
Courts to permit Them to Continue
in This Business in Ohio.

The right of the Liability Insurance
Companies to continue in the Work.
mems Compensation field in Ohio has
again been submitted to the courts
by the application of these companies
to Judge Givver, of the Franklin
County Common Pleas Court, for an
injunction against the Industrial
Commission of Ohio. A temporary
restraining order was issued by the
Court Friday, Dec. IA.
On Dec. l, the Industrial Commits
sion acting on an opinion given by
Attorney General McGhee, Nov. 10,
adopted a resolution, which would be-
come effective Jan. 1, 1918, by which
employers making application for
the privilege of paying compensation
direct would be refused this privilege
if they took out insurance policies
indemnifying them for losses sustain
ed by accidents and deaths to en-
ployees.
The insurance companies protested
against this action, and applied for
a rehearing, which was had on Dec.
13. The Companies were represented
by Judson Harmon and A. l. Vorys,
the Attorney Generals office by Mr..
Ford, and the State Federation by
Judge George B. Okey and Ex-At-
torney General Timothy S. Hogan.
The Commission refused to reconsider
or change it's action. This refusal
resulted in court action.
The case will be tried on the right
of the companies to continue this
business on the plea of old contracts.
The Ohio State Federation of Labor
will be represented by Messrs. Okey
and Hogan.
1t is expected that long and bitter
contest through the courts will ensue
In the meantime the insurance COM
panies will gain their point, which is
delay in applying the laws passed by
the last General Assembly.

ANNUAL BALL GRAND SUCCESS

The second annual ball Of Licking
Lodge No. 80, International Associa-
tion of Machinists, held at the X. of
P. hall on Tuesday evening, was both
from a social and financial view, an
unqualified success. If possible it
was more delightful, better patronized
and more thoroughly enjoyed than
was it's predecessor of last year. The
floor was in fine shape, the orchestra
unsurpassed, and the committee in
charge spared no efforts to render
the evening one of unalloyed pleasure
to their guests, and to the the fol-
lowing gentlemen composing the COM
mittee is due, in a great measure, the
Incompatible manner in which the af-
fair was conducted: Earl Swern,
Chas. Buckingham, Frank Cain, Frank
Bailey, Clyde Williams, John Bush
and Ray Wade. The only complaint
was the evenings enjoyment was too
brief and that so long a time must
elapse ere the next annual would be
held.

NEW CITY DIRECTORY

The new city directory for 1918 is
being distributed. The fact that it
was compiled and issued by R. L..
Polk & Co., of Columbus, is suf-
ficient guarantee that it is complete
and perfect in all details. The book
is prefaced by an introduction con-
tanning a complimentary comment
upon the patriotic spirit displayed
by our citizens and the general pro-
gressiveness of the city. 1t also
states the fact that 14,6O5 names ap-
pear, exclusive of corporations, wives
and children under seventeen years
of age, and that by using the multiple
of 2A to allow for the names not
included in the enumeration, the pre-
sent population of Newark is esti-
mated at 32,861, an increase over the
estimated population of 1915 of 1851.
Much valuable general information,
including a list of all persons in
Licking county whose names appear
upon the personal tax duplicate, is
also included in this valuable volume
which is we'll worth the price asked
for it.

Inspector Heck goes into the mat
ter of the legal publication of or
dinances in newspapers. The auditor,
he says, should be careful in paying
for such publication.
He says, that of the bonds given by
city, bonded employees none bore the
approval of the city solicitor. No
bond should be accepted by the
mayor till it is approved by the solic
itOr. That irregularity, he says,
should at once be remedied.
He says, he is fully convinced that
Mr.. Dodd has measured up to the re-
quirements and has proven himself
equal to the responsibilities of his
office. He has been ably assisted, he
says, by Mr.. Young, the deputy
auditor. Both merit the fullest com
mendation.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Governor James M. Cox has enlisted
his support in the Ohio campaign for
the sale of War Savings Stamps.
In statement issued a short time
ago, he urged all Ohio people to meet
their governments request to buy
either Thrift Stamps or War Savings
Stamps, or both. His statement
follows:
"The very smallness of the cost of
the War Savings Stamps must bring
everyone to the realization that no
sacrifice is too minute to help win
the war. Denial of some small luxury
and the purchase of a stamp makes
it possible for all of us to aid the
cause to which this country is pledged.
Citizens of Ohio subscribed gen.
erously to Liberty Bonds. Those
people who bought bonds are expected
to buy War Savings Stamps. Those
who did not buy bonds, because of
financial inability, surely will be able
to aid their government by pur-
chasing War Savings Stamps, when
an amount so small as 25 cents will
be accepted.
"This is a period of self-sacrifice
for every man, woman and child in
the United States. For our country
successfully to prosecute the great
war, it is necessary that it's citizens
render unqualified support-both
moral and financial. War Savings

Out of Town Trade
How to Correct 1t

Despite the great volume Of cur
rency in circulation the local retail
trade is feeling the drag back of
trading in Columbus.
The situation IS one which may
we'll appeal to the patriotic citizen.
1t may with equal force appeal to
the chamber of commerce and it may
we'll claim some thought from our
representatives in the lower an,
upper houses of Ohio's legislative
body. 1t can safely be viewed Sc
riously by the political party ma
chinery locally. With all Of then d
remedy is possible.
There is a growing class which Will
alw ays trade in Columbus, with it
aliuring and sometimes misleading
advertisements in the Columbus
papers, which, with no bette, tele-
graph service, are keen competitors
Of the local daily papers. that class
Will never grow less and NeWa k will
always be complacently contemplated
by Columbus as her industrial suburb
and feeder to Columbus trade. Nor
is the capital city trading interests
alone in pursuit of the above policy.
Tie Ohio Electric Road is, p.l5slVcIy,
at least a party 70 it.
There is but one way to recover
from the malign effects of Columbus.
Devise some way to draw people in,
rather than out, and our we'll known
railway facilities become an asset, not
liability. The road hauls people
and now is hauling passengers in as
cheaply as it does out.
During all the history of Ohio,
Newark has been denied the location
of any of the state governmental
functions. Athens, Gallipolis, Lam
caster, Dayton, Delaware, Toledo,
Ottawa, Lima, Mt. Vernon and Lon
don have something of the kind. We
once had the state encampment but
the Columbus board of trade stamped
it out, revived it, and sent it to Otta-
wa. At the same time there are about
score of departments of state which
cannot possibly be sheltered under. the
state-owned buildings in Columbus.
Each succeeding General Assembly is
assailed by the Columbus board of
trade to provide funds to purchase
and build there permanent homes for
the increasing state functions.
These unroused functions are as a
rule Independent of the great func-
tions, so that it would be no hardship
TO have them in a nearby town. For
instance, the Stae Bureau of Uni
form Accounting and the Fish and
Game Commission are not housed in
state property and are not vitality
connected with the great offices or
state records.
Why not bring these, and others to
Newark? Why not make it an issue
in our local elections and not for
get it?
Why not seek the aid of Senator
J. H. Miller or Hon. J. ]. Hill, and
their assigns? That Licking county,
one of the large financial con-
tributors to state expenses, may have
some returns for her thousands, aye
millions poured into the Golfers of
the state.

Newark Trades s
Labor Assembly

A special meeIlng OF the Assembly
was called to order last Sunday at
9:30 a. m. by Pres. w. M. Morgan,
who stated that the meeting was
called for the purpose of discussing
the present coal situation, and that
the shortage of coal was real men
ace to the health and comfort of the
city.
After a thorough discussion of
existing conditions it was decided,
by motion, to instruct the Legislative
Committee to visit Columbus, meet
with the Governor and other officials,
and if possible, devise some means
by which the inconvenience and suf-
fering caused by coal shortage might
be alleviated.
On last Tuesday, in accordance
with instructions, Messrs. Frank
Bailey, Joe Dolan, Ed Streit and W.
M. Morgan, of the Legislative Com
mittee, accompanied by Messrs. Leon
ard Drumm and F. H. Burnfeld, dele
gates of the Assembly, visited the
capital city, where they met with
members of the Fuel Administration
Board. The situation was thoroughly
discussed, with satisfactory results,
as will be shown by the committees
statement which is as follows:
"The legislative committee of the
Newark Trades & Labor Assembly
were at Columbus Tuesday in the in
terest of securing an order from the
state fuel administration department
for the release of a sufficient number
of cars of coal, that are in the local
railroad yards, to relieve the coal
situation in Newark, and ascertain
whether our local needs would be met
during the remainder of the winter
season.
''The state department assured the
committee that they would not only
order released a sufficient number of
cars to supply the domestic needs at
this time, but would see to it that the
domestic needs were cared for during
the season.
"The committee were greatly graft
fed not only for receiving the pro-
mise that the local coal situation
would be taken care of, but for the
consideration given them and the
courtesy extended, which was really
beyond their expectations.
"The matter was not taken up with
the state department by the COM
mittee because of any dissatisfaction
or objections to the manner in which
Mr.. Herzog, the local coal admins
traitor, was conducting his depart
ment, but did desire to ascertain from
the state authorities as to whether
there was any assurance that the
local domestic needs of coal would
be supplied or the local situation in
general be taken care Of; if so, in
what manner. They realized that
the authority for the release of cars
in particular could not be given ex-
cept through that department, and the
committee met with success in this.
"The action of Superintendent
Stevens of the B. & o. R. R. company
in releasing five cars of coal Tuesday
greatly assisted in relieving the pre-
sent serious conditions and was very
much appreciated by the committee.
They consider it fortunate for New
ark and the public in general that the
railroad company has local super
intendent who is not only considerate
in the city's progress, but has deep
sympathy for the public and is public
spirited"

SUCCESS
nnendation
By John Bush.

1t is customary at the close Of the
year to review the accomplishment
of that year. This has been an ex-
ceedingly successful year for the
American Federation of Labor, which
occupies a most important position,
not only in the labor world, but in the
affairs of our nation.
It has exerted wonderful, help
full influence on many vital problems
with which the country has been con-
fronted.
The accomplishments of the past
year have never been surpassed in
the history of the labor movement
of this or any other country. So many
events of first magnitude have oc-
Cured during the year that it would
be impossible to give them all con-
sideration in a single publication of
our journal.
This statement is in no sense an
exaggeration, because we have not
only grown in numbers, but have
achieved many things that have been
the dream of the workers for years.
In addition to renewing agreements
and receiving liberal increases in
wages, we have reached under
standings with a number of employers
which heretofore refused to meet re-
presentatives of any craft or branch
of the A. F. of L. This is, perhaps,
the greatest single achievement.
The chart and formation of the A.
F. of L. shown in their weekly news
letter, Dec. 1, is most interesting, as
it shows a grand membership gain in
all branches. The figures are as fol-
lows: Local unions, 26,761; local de-
partment councils, AL; city central
bodies, 1853; state federations, As;
national and international unions,
III; departments, 5; local and federal
labor unions, 845; total membership
A. F. of L. 2,371, ,434. These figures,
with increases of over forty per cent
in many localities, and improvements
in working conditions, show that our
efforts have not been in vain.
Pres. Samuel Gompers, assisted by
officers and business agents, has con-
Quoted our business in such way as
to inspire the confidence of the Gov
ernment to the extent that the move
ment has not only been dignifed in
/ these critical times but the interests
of the workers have been carefully
looked after in more carefully man.
ner.
Notwithstanding the seriousness of
the times, as an organization we have
every reason to rejoice over our sue
cess of 1917. The war afforded an
opportunity to prove our loyalty to
the government. Not only are we
lending our active cooperation, but
we did our bit in the recent Liberty
Loan drive by purchasing thousands
of dollars worth of Liberty Bonds.
We have the confidence of the Ad-
mlnlstratlon, from President Wilson
down.
The A. S. Department of Labor, in
which we are particularly interested,
has received our full cooperation and
assistance on numerous occasions, and
in turn it has rendered us valuable
assistance, and as consequence our
=
financial condition is better than ever
before.
While we have reason to be proud
of the achievements of the A. F. of L.
there yet remains plenty of work to
be done-so remember-agitate, edu-
cate, organize.
To win the war this nation must
reinforce its economic structure with
chains of steel and we can, must and
will cooperate and assist.
