COMPENSATION
LAW CHANGES
Commissioners of Labor Issues
Pamphlet Containing Re-
Vised Features
BE- special Correapondent.

bK Special correspondent.
TRENTON, July 16-Of particular
interest to the general public will be
the pamphlet which Commissioner of
Labor Bryant has been sending out
ove the state during the past few
days. This pamphlet is a revised edi-
ton of the Workmen's Compensation
Law, presenting it as it will apply to
every accident occurring on or after
July A.. The Workmen's Compensa-
ton Bureau of the Department of La
Dor, has mailed to every manufactur-
ing plant in the state a copy of the
statute, together with a summary
briefly stating its principal features,
There has also been included a brief
letter, calling attention to the most
important changes enacted during the
recent session of the Legislature. The
summaries are required by law to be
posted in every plant where goods are
manufactured for sale, and workmen
are entitled under the act to have this
summary posted within reach so that
they may be advised rs to the general
benefits to which they may be entitled.
Laborers are at liberty to notify the
Commissioner of Labor if the require
ment above mentioned is not fulfilled.
Among the numerous changes made
in this law are to be noted in partlc-
ular the following. The maximum
compensation a been raised from
ten dollars to twelve dollars, n the
minimum from five dollars to six dol
lars. The compensation rate has also
been raised from fifty per cent of
weekly wages to sixty-six and two
thirds per cent, subject of course to
the twelve dollar maximum. Another
important advance is the extending of
the period during which h employer
or insurance carrier must furnish
medical aid to the injured. from two
weeks to four weeks. 1t is also inter-
esting to know that the waiting Pc
riod, e., the period following an &C.
cident during which the employe is
not entitled to compensation has been
reduced from two weeks to ten days:
Saturdays and Sundays count in this
waiting period if the injured is physi-
callY Unfit for work on those days.

NEW POST OFFICE
SITE CAUSE OF
WIRE PULLING

One of the merriest political wire
pulling affairs Ell Centre has enjoyed
in some time is in progress at present
over the proposed site for the post
office. Realizing that the location of
the postoffice in any one particular
section will mean a distinct benefit to
that section, efforts are being made
to locate the postoffice in many sec
tions
The fact that if the site is within
1920 feet of the depot it will save
the government $500 year haulage
from the railroad, lends a particular
interest to proposed sites within this
limit.
For instance, there is the vacant
site between the Union stage depot
and the Delta Implement Company's
building on Main street. This has
been mentioned. Then again, it is
said the vacant lot south Of Philley 4
Gill's, on Fifth street, and owned by
A. w. Swanson. is being considered.
1t is even said there is a movement
on foot to erect a baasding there.
Further north, the vacant room in
tie Oregon Hotel block has been men-
toned. John ,Brunner, proprietor.
merely says he would be glad to have
the postoffice there and would be will
ing to make the government an at
tractive rental rate.
The fact that the 1920 feet takes
in 100 feet on the west side Of Fifth
street on Main add color to the state
ment that the government would like
the postoffice in the Min business
block.
Then there's the corner of Broad
way and Sixth. 1t is even said
fund of $4,000 has been raised there
to equip an office, if that site should
be chosen. ~
Going further west, the Barbara
Worth hotel has been mentioned.
Prospective bidders have until No
vember IA to send in their bids.

FR|SK YOURSELF
Of SOME COIN FOR
7. R. MEMORIAL:

Chairman Phil. D. Swing, of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association COM
mittee for Imperial county, last even
ing uttered a ringing appeal for vol
untary giving to the fund. Any Ell
Centro bank or the Imperial Valley
Press will be glad to receive your
gifts.
"This campaign will be a failure
declared Judge Swing, "unless we can
impress on the public the necessity Of
taking its gifts to the banks now.
We know that the feeling of the I'm
perial valley towards Colonel Roose-
welt is cordial in the extreme, but I'M
perial valley people are so busy that
unless they make special effort to
attend to it at once, the good inten-
tions are not fulfilled.
"Do not delay making your contri-
button. This is voluntary cam
Paign; no one will solicit YOU. al
though there will be tag day Sat
urday. Unless you bring your gift to
the proper places. it is not likely that
1t will be received. Obey that i'm

Tie campaign will close Monday
evening. Monday is the anniversary
of the birthday of the late president,
and the committee is expecting
large number of gifts on that day.
