In the compartment were found

The attempt to clean out the
public artesian well on the corner
of Marian avenue and Cross
street has proved a failure and the
well has been put out of commits
sion. 1t is now suggested that
the water from another fine well
be piped down Marian avenue to
the two chief street intersections,
thus saving the expense OF sink
ing new well, yet giving the
avenue practically two wells OF
fine drinking water. The sugges-
ton seems to be a good one.

COMPENSATION LAW |
GAINING STEADILY
Only Ten States Now That Do Not
Recognize Some Form

Washington, Feb. 25.-Steady prog
! ress of the movement to compensate
| for industrial accidents without suits
to prove the negligence Of the employ
err is noted in a bulletin issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics showing
that six new states adopted compen-
sation legislation in 1917 and 1918 and
that only 10 states of the union have
not accepted the principle.
The day seems not far distant
when the obsolete system of damage
suits and charges and counter
charges of negligence and contribu-
tory negligence will no longer be
used in the disposition of industrial
injury claims" the bulletin SAYS.
Fear that such legislation would
entail undue burdens on industry was
said largely to have been eliminated
as a result of satisfactory experience
under compensation laws and because
1t is becoming better understood that
the laws do not cause injury losses
but only distribute the burden Of them
on the industry as a whole, instead Of
on the weakest element Of the sys-
tem--the injured worker. This real
iZatiOn. has opened the way for
amendments liheralizine the awards
allowed.
Advances noted in the bulletin are
Nhc shortening, OF the waiting time.
for which, as a rule, no oMpCnsatiOn
is allowed, and the increase of the al
loWance of medical and surgical aid
A notable departure in this connec-
ton is the provision of the Washing
ton statute for local funds supported
and administered by employers and
employees jointly, for the more effec-
tive and equitable administration of
medical benefits.
Among importanc court decisions
on the laws was cited the supreme
court ruling which denied the appli-
cation of state compensa ton laws to
employees Of interstate carriers.
The states which have not adopted
the principle Of industrial compensa-
ton are North Dakota, Missouri Ar
Kansas Tennessee, North Carolina,
South Carolina, mississippi. Alabama,
Florida and Georgia.
