Workmen's Compensation
Act May Be Passed

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. ga
workmen's compensation act probably
will be n of the important meas
ures passed by the 18th general as
sembly. -Four years ago the legisla-
ture provided for an investigation of
Workmen's compensation, and a
voluminous report was presented. In
the last session was introduced a
comprehensive bill providing for a
state compensation commission to ad-
just damages and awards and requir-
ing employers to furnish protection
for their employees through a state in
surance fund. Like a majority of the
other labor bills introduced in the
last session, this measure fell by the
wayside.

Some months ago the attorney general
anded down an opinion, holding
that the soldier ballots should be

overlooked, and the evident intent Of
the legislators carried out.

Higher Butter Prices
Forecast In Bulletin

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 26.-Much
higher butter prices for North Dakota
are forecast in the department of
agriculture's butter bulletins of the
last week, which show butter whole
sailing in New York at sc cents and in
philadelphia at &C 1-2, reports j.. j.
Osterhaus, state dairy commissioner.
Butter is still retailing in Bismarck
around 60 cents. The record prices
which have been attained in the east
are due to the fact that there is no
reserve supply in storage, all of this
butter having been taken over by the
government, states Mr.. Osterhaus.
