|SOFFRAGISTS PLAN
new DEMONSTRATION
Day to Burn Until Senate
Shall Act.

Washington. Dec. 29.-SufYragists
are planning new spectacular DEM
onstration before the White. House to
draw attention to the failure OF the
senate as yet to pass the suffrage
amendment
The national womans party will
move the big stone urn in which 1t
burned the presidents. speeches on
freedom and democracy on December
Is to Lafayette park under the statue
Of Lafayette and facing the White
House. and in this its leaders plan to
light a fire at o'clock New Years
afternoon
1t is the plan to keep this fire burn
ing unintcrruptedly until the senate
shall pass the amendment.
'Tf its two years. we'll keep this
watch fire of freedom burning" said
Miss Alice Paul, party chairman.
On the other side of the flame will
stand a suffragette with purple ban
ner. The two guards will be relieved
every two hours and the guard will be
continuous throughout wind and rain
and snow until the senate acts. AS the
guard is changed every two hours a
big bell, installed on the balcony of
the National Woman's party headquar-
ters across the park will be tolled, and
the relief guards escorted to their po-
sition by the fire Of freedom.
1t Is the plan now to start the fire
with copies Of the presidents toast to
the king at Buckingham palace, his
speech to American soldiers on Christ
mas day and his address to the British
wounded.
From time to time as the president
speaks abroad on themes touching
freedom and democracy, copies OF his
words will be burned in the urn with
ceremonies, the flames being fed I'M
til they illuminate the yards and build
ings OF the White House grounds On
special days the watch fire will be
guarded by delegations representing
various states and organizations.

OPERATE TELEGRAPH
AS UNIFIED SYSTEM

Washington. Dec. 2a.-postmaster-
General Burleson not only has merged
the Postal and Western Union Tele-
graph companies. but Is going to
continue to operate them as a uni
fed system
This is the gist of a long statement
issued today by Mr.. Burleson in re-
ply to a statement by Edward Rey-
noids, general manager of the Postal
company in which the latter ex-
presses fear that the postmaster gen
erai will merge the lines.
Mr. Burleson also quotes a former
statement made to him by Mr. Rey-
nolds expressing himself In favor of
fyary or re. cts~res~ IL ~ra~n tsea
which MT Btrleson has already put
into effect.
The principal newspapers have
been given preferential service by the
wire companies. Mr.. Reynolds Ia
said TO have told Mt. Burleson in ad-
yocating q change in this practice.
This is one OF the recommended
tons made by the general manager OF
the Postal Telegraph Cable company
which the postmaster general has not
adopted," said Mr.. Burleson.
The postmaster general makes II
clear that he Is going ahead with his
plans for a unified wire system
whether the Postal company officials
are concerned about it or not.

CONSUMER PAYS WHEN !.
A WORKER IS INJURED

Provisions of the Virginia Work.
mems Compensation Asst, effective
January /, 1919. are defined in bull
letin just issued by the Industrial
Commission Of Virginia. The act is
far-reaching In its effects.
| In their foreword, the commission
| ers, who are r. II. Tucker. C. A. Nc
Hugh, and c. G. Kizcr, with the first
named as chairman. say mo new law
can be put into operation without
causing trouble to someone. The vir-
ginia Workmen's Compensation law
will prove no exception to this rule
The commission intends. Of course to
administer the law with firm, i'm
partial hand. but ii hopes to accom-
plish this without material disturb
/ ance to industry and with as little in
convenience as possible to all con-
cerned"
| The act includes automatically
within its operation all individuals.
firms or corporations having regu-
larry in their employ eleven or more
persons in the same business, except
| ing farm 1aborers and domestic serv-
ants
The state, the municipalities and all
the political sub divisions of the
! state are included within the opera
ton of the act, irrespective of the
number OF persons employed
Some of the benefits of compensa-
ton arc set forth as follows:
The employee obtains certain and
speedy relief
The employer knows exactly what
he has 10 pay.
! Employer and employee are
brought into closer and more harmon
ious relations. The bulletin says:
The fundamental principle of
workmen's compensation is that the
burden of accidents should be borne
/ by industry ard that the cost should
| be added to the selling price OF the
product and distributed among the
! consumers"
! The burden OF the compensation
cost is not placed upon the employer.
Compensation Is made to Sail upon
the employer in order that it may
ultimately reach the consumer.
The act provides that every en-
ployer shall keep a record of all ac-
cidents producing disability OF more
than one day and report these acci-
dents periodically to the com mission.
The act does not relieve the en-
nloyee of either moral or financial
responsibility. Under it's provisions.
the injured employee loses his wages
/ for the first fourteen days of dis
ability and for the period of disability
extending beyond the fourteenth day
he is entitled to one-half his former
wages. In no case to exceed $40 q
week or a maximum of $4,000 The
employee cannot collect II his injury
was due to intoxication or wilfui mis-
conduct or wilful failure or refusa
to use n safety appliance or perform
a, duty required by statue.
