STATE COMPENSATION FUNDS
SHOW SAVING OF MILLIONS
Labor Federations Exclusion Of Private Companies
From Compensation Insurance.

Under the Ohio plan of exclusive
state fund insurance for workmen' S
compensation, insured workers and
their widows and children received
last wear S8,O00,000 in compensation
benefits, at an administrative cost
to the state of only $3l2,279, where
as if carried by private insurance
companies $5,333,000 would have
been the mere administrative cost
of conveying the same $8,0OC,OO0 to
the insured workmen and their de-
pendents.
This saving Of overhead expense
by the Ohio plan--more than $1,000
600 in one state in single year
is reported by the Ohio Industrial
Commission in it's bulletin, just is
sued, entitled, "A Survey of the
Worl<men's Compensation Insurance
Field in the United States"

been in operation in all states, &C

Conditions Are All Favorable
CLARENCE F. LEA.

Everything is favorable for the
establishment of an eight-hour day
in the lumber industry except the
mill owners. 1t is an absolute ne
cessity in order to induce the men
who are needed in this industry to
stay in it but this does not mean
that the mill owners will recognize
this necessity. In every other in
dustry Of any Importance the eight
hour day prevails and it is the most
natural thing in the world that men
will flock to other industries in just
as large numbers as it becomes pos
sible for men to obtain employment
en- eight-hour day jobs.

THEY OUGHT NOT
TO CIT s HOURS

The Labor News Of Eureha, Cali
fornia, all too gently chides the
slackers among the underwriters Of
Humboldt county for not joining the
union and aiding in securing the
aight-hour day and good working
conditions. These fellows have got
ten the idea in their nuts" that the
government is about to force eight
hours upon the mills and camps and
consequently there is no use in or
ganizing and paying dues. There is
too much of this "let- George-do-it"
feeling among the men, and while
they are not numerous enough to
prevent the requirement of the eight
hour day, they are an annoyance to
the real men in the fight for fair
hours, conditions and wages.
These slackers ought not to ever
enjoy short work day.
The following from The Labor
News needs no calculations:
A grave error is being committed
by number of our local timber
workers who are DESTROYS of obtain
ing an eight-hour day. In some
way or another these men and wo-
men have been misled into actually
believing that the eight-hour day
will be established in Humboldt by
President Wilson in the near future.
Having been duped into this far
fetched belief they naturally reason
that since they are to get the eight
hour day by Presidential decree
there is no necessity for them to
join the underwriters union which
has been organized in Humboldt with
the eight-hour day as its chief goal
for the present.
The efforts that have been made
by the government mediation board
to adjust differences between the
lumber manufacturers of the north
west and their organized employees
may be largely responsible for this
prevailing notion that the eight-hour
day is about to be laid in the lap of
thousands of unorganized timber
workers in Humboldt without any
effort whatever on their own part
to get it. Then, too, this impression
may also have been spread by the
tools of the lumber companies in or
der to induce men to refrain from
ioing the underwriters union,
thus making it that much easier for
the mill owners to make stand
against the eight-hour day when it
comes to the time it will be demand
ed. But no matter how the impress
sion originated and no matter why
this impression has been nursed and
spread the fact remains that there is
absolutely no foundation for this
grotesque belief. This is made pain
fully clear by the following letter
from Congressman Clarence f. Lea
in reply to the telegram of protest
sent by the Underwriters Union
after the Humboldt Chamber of
Commerce with Mayor Cousins at its
head had wired strenuous opposition
to the eight-hour day:

HIRAM JOHNSON
WOULD RETAIN
THE RAILWAYS

Senator Hiram Johnson, of Cali
fornia, made public ownership
speech in the U. S. Senate last
Tuesday in which he strongly ia
vored the retention of the railroads
by the government.
Senator johnson said "the nation
is marching straight to the goal
of public ownership-the people at
last will come into their own"
He assaied the compensation pro-
vided for railroads in the control
bill, stating that because of the
crisis, it is indefensible."
To the plea that politics would
play an important and injurious part
in the management of the roads, y
johnson replied:
He'd Risk 1t
"I'll risk any kind of politics I'M
der government ownership rather
than the politics | have seen under
private ownership.
81 would now take the inevitable
next step to government control OF
our railroads, and do whatever might
be essential to make that govern
ment ownership, or, at least, leave
the way open so that Immediately
upon the termination of the war we
might follow to it's logical conclu-
sion what already we have partly
DONE" he said.
"After some months of useless and
impotent endeavor, the railroad men,
as well as others, realized that
under the system existing in our
country neither service nor effici-
ency could be accorded in this crisis.
"Now the lesson is what? The
great trunk lines of the country
must be nationalized, and there must
be one central directing head.
Ownership to Come
at is plain that this nationaliza-
ton cannot be accomplished by COM
petitive roads. There must be an
absolute unity of purpose and with
private ownership such coordination
is utterly impossible. The conclu-
sion, therefore, is irresistible that
we must ultimately do in time of
peace what we have been driven
to do by stress in time of war, and
the logical outcome is, of course,
government ownership"
While the government conscripts
young men and sends them to make
supreme sacrifices" paying them $50
month, and demands that citizens
invest their money in Liberty Bonds,
at A per cent, it prepares to give
the railroads a return based on the
sums earned in 1915, 1916 and 1917,
Johnson pointed out.
upon what theory is the maxi
mum of sacrifice demanded of all
the rest of the nation he asked,
land the maximum of compensation
accorded our railroads ?"
Senator Johnson stated that he is
in full accord with Senator Cum
Minis, who, in recent speech, said
that the proposed compensation to
! be given the railroads is unfair and
unjust He argued that the maxi
mum compensation should not be
paid the roads at time when al
the rest of the nation is being
asked to make the greatest sacrifice
"What this proposed rate means,
added Senator Johnson, sis that in.
terest on the outstanding bonds Of
the railroads will be paid in accord
ance with the interest rates now
fixed; it means, in addition, thai
upon the stock of the railroads Of
the country will be paid by the gov,
eminent of the United States some
thing in excess of 8 per cent pei
annum; it means that this percent
age in excess of s per cent per an
mum is paid upon all the stock o.

Loan Remains
 Important
 Says Wilson
Peace Or Any Other Recent Events Has Not Dimin-
 ished Its Importance.

Washington, Oct H.-~President Wilson today issued this statement on the Fourth Liberty loan:
 ''The reply of the German govern ment to my note of inquiry dated Oct. Sth gives occasion for me to say to my fellow countrymen that neith- CT that reply nor any other recent event has in any way diminished the vital importance of the Liberty Loan.
 Relaxation, now, hesitation now, would mean defeat kvhen Nictors seems to be in sight: would mean years of war instead of peace upon our own terms.
 T earnestly request every patrio- tic American to leave to the gov crnments of the United States and of the lilies the momentous discussions initiated by Germany and remember that for each man his duty is to strengthen the hands of these gov erEments and to do it the most inn portant way now immediately pre- sented-by subscribing to the ut- most of his ability for bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan.
 That loan must be successful.
 ~ am sure that the American peo- ,ple will not fail to see their duty and make it successful"
