The Compensation Act and
What 1t Is Worth to
the Laborer.
(Bv II. b. Karr)

NV attention has been called to an
editorial in the Morning journal OF
October Gath, in which it is contend
ed that the Compensation Act Is
more or less satisfactory to the labor
ing people and indicating that the Act
was passively endorsed by the state
Federation which met here Few
days ago.
/ think can speak from first-hand
upon this matter as | was chairman
of the legislative committee of the
Federation at the time this law was
passed and was at Santa Fe during
the entire session of the 1917 legis-
lature The Compensation Act as 1t
finally became a law, no more rep
resented House Bill No. 1913, which is
the bill favored by labor and which
4 had endorsed, than Ii Hun is like
Hollander.
House Bill No. 16S was introduced
by member of the legislature and
referred to the committee The COM
mittee reported a substitute for SAID
bill, which. had it passed, would have
been a good law, but it never passed.
1t died on the calendar.
House Bill No. 293 was worked
over considerably before 1T was in
troduced. This act was not bad
bill as it stood but was rewritten
and amended before it finally passed.
until it could scarcely be recognized
as the same law.
on March 1st, the bill was amend
ed in several sections, On March 5th
it was again amended and passed the
House that day by a vote of % for
and IS against 1t went to the SEN
ate the same day. On March Sth it
passed the Senate, receiving a vote
Of IS for and 9 against.
Since this time, in comparing this
law, similar laws from other states,
we find that we have not at all the
law that labor demanded and was
entitled to receive The first chance
we had to test this law was over a
personal injury in Albuquerque, and
the injured employe, though he lost
two of his fingers anG. all the flesh
out of the palm of his hand, his fam
lily received not a cent of the compen-
sation until Mr. Mcneil the injured
man, was able to return to work, and
then he received for all his injury and
loss of time, $4,000! Which, of
course did not in any way pay for
the loss of time He was also in
formed if he did not like the settle
ment he could bring suit. The in
jured man consulted able attorneys
and was informed that his remedy
was gone and that under the law,
500 was the measure of his demand.
All attorneys with whom ] have dis
cussed this law and who are not par
tial toward the corporate interest the
law seems to favor are of the opin-
ion that from the working mans
| standpoint, the law is worse than no
| law at all.
The State Federation of Labor did
not endorse this bill but it did point
out amendments that should be re-
CURED to make it effective. We have
only to thank the Republican legisla-
ture for this joke they have handed
us. We asked for a fair deal and
proposed the bill which would give it
to u.s. we got lemon and every
working man in the state ought to
| be advised that he may know where
| to place the blame.

ing any form of vaccine treatment.
THE health service urges the publlc
to remember that there is no specific
cure for influenza and that many OF
the alleged cures and remedies beng
recommended by neighbors, nostrum
vendors and others do more harm than
good. The chief reliance must be on
medical attention, good nursing, fresh
air, nutritious food, plenty of water
and cheerful surroundings.
