Tn an apparent effort to complete

yesterday afternoon. AS the TWO

sensational statements followed IN
rapid succession with monotonous

Direct statements were made that

lsational of the hearing. He was fol-
lowed by Ralph r. Lippincott stu
dent at the school and subsequently
an inspector at the plant. Their OBJ
servations thrilled the crowded coun-
Gil chamber and cleared up many
vague points formed as the result of
evasive testimony produced earlier in
the hearing.
| Day of Surprises
The day was one of surprises.
When the senatorial committee ad-
journed last Friday until yesterday
the general assumption was that the
Gillespie company would present an
array of witnesses in an effort to re-
fute some of the allegations of negli-
gence made earlier in the hearing.
The committee and Council of De-
fense, at the time. had practically ex-
amined all their witnesses.
But someone dug up" the two
surprise" witnesses some time be-
tween last Friday and yesterday and,
as q result, day for the company
was converted into a sensational ar
ray of charges of further negligence.
| When the session was opened at 10
O'Clock in the morning by Senator
Myers the council chamber was
crowded to capacity. mostly with en-
ployes of the company called to testi-

OUR OPPONENTS MAKE
A HELPFUL ADMISSION

Proponents of workmen's health
insurance are finding aid and COM
fort in the most recent broadside
by opponents of this legislation.
Two years ago the opposition in
New York objected to health in
surance law because, they argued,
there is no need"
This year the mo need" objection
is abandoned and alarm is expressed
merely at the "cost."
And to make an impressive show
ing of cost a set of figures are
brought forward, which set forth
an overwhelming need of sickness
protection for wage earners and their
families!
"The number of persons in New
York disabled each year by sickness
and accidents not covered by work
mems compensation is placed at
2,945,000," according to a memoir
andum submitted at a recent leg
islative hearing by General Secre-
tary Mark A. DAILY of the Associated
Manufacturers and Merchants of
New York State, in opposing the
Nicoll health insurance bill. "The
number requiring nursing is 1885,
900; number requiring hospital care,
491 ,000;; number requiring opera
tons, 245,000; number of visits from
physicians, figuring an average dis
ability of 81 days, 44,100,000; loss
of time by wage earners, figuring
nine days each, 4O,50O,0OO days. 1t
would also require 10000 more train
ed nurses, 5000 more dentists, and
hundred million dollars more in
hospitals to equip the state of New
York for this service"
Every total shown, the commit
tee was assured, will prove "under
present conditions" to be "less than
reasonable"
Even if inadvertent or over-zealous
this unreserved admission of the
existence of conditions that call for
the prompt provision for medical,
nursing and maternity care, not
within the reach of workers at pres
ent, has been accepted with thanks"
by health insurance advocates as
disposing finally of any doubt as
to the urgent need for health in
surance legislation.

COMPENSATION

NEW YORK, April 22.-"The pas

law in Virginia marks another war
time advance in protective laws for
labor" says statement issued to-
day by the American Association for
Labor Legislation.
"This new legislation brings the
total of workmen's compensation
states up to 3S, covering four-fifths
of the map of the United States.
Porto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii have
also adopted such laws and the Fed
eral government protects its more
than 100000 civilian employees with
a model compensation law. Last
year alone five additional states
were added to the list.
Missouri, in shameful backward
ness, stands alone among the great
industrial states without compen-
sation law to protect her injured
workers and their families" the
statement continues. Several state
commissions in Missouri have rec
commended this legislation, yet the
united efforts of employers and en-
ployees are still thwarted after SIX

The Business Agent-pity him;
You ought to if you won't.
He's damned by some because he

He works all day and half the night,

Desire to go to church,
When he's not Johnny on the-spot,
For him they start a search.
Inside a month he listens to
A thousand tales of woe,
And some believe there's not a

But what he ought to know.
He's a target for the "moocher,"
And he can't keep out of range
