W0RKMEN'S COMPEN-
 SATlON ACT REVIEWED
 BY VALDEZ LAWYER

tBy E. E. Ritchie in Cordora Times) The workmen's compensation law of Alaska has been declared consti- tu.ional by the courts. This was ex pected because courts are reluctant to lay themselves open to the charge of usurping legislative powers In this case the courts have said that if the law is defective 1t Is up to the legis. lature to amend it.
 That the law ought to be amended in order to make 1t a real compensa' tion law is easily demonstrated. Sev- eral amendments passed the senate in the legislature of 1917 but were killed in the house. The vital objec. tions to the law as passed in 1915 are such that a mere statement of them seems to state a sufficient demand for their correction. The following amendments have been suggested:
 l. 4 provision for compulsory ar. bitration, such as several states now  have.
 ,. Amendment of the method of giving notice of intention to reject the law. or Of change of attitude regard ing i:.
 3. Amendment of some provisions of the schedule of compensation. par. ticularly for partial disability.
 i.-The law. which nov applies only to mining, should include all other hazardous employments as compensa- lion laws do in the States.
 Compulsory Arbitration
 First Compulsory arbitration is a feature of the compensation laws of several states. The arbitration provi. sion of the Illinois law was ineorpor.

ated almost verbatim, one section b. ing taken from Nevada. in an amend ment which passed the Alaska sen. ate of 1917 but was defeated in the house. An arbitration plan which works satisfactorily in great state like Illinois and in a sparcely settled mining state like Nevada ought to dc 'airly we'll for Alaska. but corporate lobbying defeated 1t.
 The arbitration plan offered pro. vides that in case of injury to an em. ployee if he can not agree with the employer on the measure of compen. sation under the law either party may serve notice on the other of a demand for arbitration and In such case each party must name an arbitrator, the two arbitrators to name third. If they cannot agree the judge of the district court ia to name the third ar. bitratcr The arbitrators meet with fn few days, take evidence and make and award. Either party is allowed an appeal from the award to the dis. trict court within twenty days. It is hardly necessary to suggest that there would be few appeals from awards made in this way.
 The existing law simply gives the injured workman the right to sue in the district court. How that works Is shown by the history of a recent Val dez case. A man was injured in a mine in January 1916; his case was tried at vladez in January 1917; the judgment was affirmed by the circuit court of appeals in January 1913. and the plaintiff will probably get his money in March 191S
 Notice of Rejection
 Second. The law of 1915 provides that an employer or employe who doea not wish to be bound by the law must file notice in the recorders oaice ol the precinct in form prescribed. but manifestly unfair advantage is given

 From this 1t is plain that the em. ployer in every case Is given actual notice. The employe can get actual notice of the employers position only by consulting the record. For cram. pie. a miner working at Latouche is obliged to consult the record at Val dez. ninety miles away. When the re- corder's ofice of Chitna precinct was at Chitna a miner at the Kennecott had to examine the record at Chitua, seventy miles away, to learn the com pany's position regarding the law. Not only that but 1t is the privilege of tho employer. as 1t Is of the employe, to reverse his previous position on the law by filing notices but with this diff ference. The employe again has to give personal notice to tho employer, who merely has to iile his notice, ct a recorders ofRce, many miles away in most cases.
 That this inequality in swing notice was intentional seems evident from circumstantial evidence. Many of the provisions of the Alaska act are taken verbatim from the Kansas law, but the Kansas law requires ample notice to be given by the employer without any expense or trouble to the employ. er's election or refusal to accept the provisions of the compensation law. Here Is the Kansas provision:
 Notice of such election or with. drawal shall be forthwith posted by such employer in conspicuous places in and about his place of business"
 Equality Not Wanted
 Nothing could be easier or fairer than this. But the corporate lobby. ists who jammed the Alaska ''compen. ation law" through the legislature of 1915 omitted this provision while they were lifting half of the Kansas law bodily into the Alaska act. It Is hard. ly necessary to argue that they were not working for 'pitiless publicity" in the matter of notice to employees.
 Third. While the allowance in case of death is liberal in view of the fact that it includes all cases regardless of negligence, the allowance for crip- bling and other partial disabilities are small.
 Fourth. The act applies only to mines. In every one of the thirty-five states which have real compensation laws all hazardous employments are included. Why should such a law in. clude oaly mining in Alaska, and ex- clude sawmills, railroads. canneries?
 The answer is easy. The Alaska law was enacted by and for the two big Juneau mining companies. They foresaw that within a short time an honest compensation law would be eu. acted in Alaska The demand was growing. So they took time by the forelock and secured the enactment of an emasculated law that contained everything usually found in such laws to the advantage of the employer and left out as much as they could of us- ual provisions useful to employees.
 Amendment of tn ecompensation law ought to be an issue in the cam. paign of 1918 and candidates for the legislature forced to declare their po- sition..
