SPECIAL FUND
FOR CR|PPLES
New York and Ohio Have Met
Situation By Sensible Pro-
tectiVe Legislation.

To facilitate the return of crippled
workers and manned soldiers and sail
ores to Industrial employment, the
committee urges the adoption in
Massachusetts Of the New York law
which provides that whenever an en-
ploye dies. without dependents, the
company insuring his employer is to
contribute 500 to a special state fund.
If workman who had lost an arm
ten years ago loses his other arm, his
employer is required to compensate
him merely as if he would lose one
arm. The special fund takes care Of
the difference, and compensates the
now totally disabled worker for the
rest of his life.
Such changes in workmen's COM
pensation laws to insure full benefits
for crippled workers, while relieving
employers from excessive liability that
may arise out Of second injury of
partially disabled workers, were urged
at the annual meeting Of the associa-
ton for labor legislation by federal
and state officials.
Ohio has already met the problem
through her well-administered state
insurance fund for workmen's COM
pensation, according 20 R.. M. little,
director of the American Safety in
stitute, and former chairman of the
United States Employees Compensa-
ton commission. The Ohio expert
ence," he said. challenges the atten-
ton of every state in the union. 1t
is not socialistic scheme, but a COM
mon sense business arrangement to
deal justly with an intricate problem
The employers and employees alike
are satisfied and every state ought to
make a careful study of the Ohio
experience"

amount of their original demand. It
was finally resolved at the conference
to refer the whole matter of wages
to representatives of all the mills
throughout the country and the men
at International Falls will be given
the wage scale then agreed upon.

FIND MANS SKELETON
Lumbermen Solve Mystery OF Aged
Persons Disappearance.

The mysterious disappearance of
Smith Flohr, an eighty-year-old noun
taineer Of Mountaindale, Pennsylvania,
missing since August 20, and for whom
a search covering the Blue Ridge
mountains for miles around has been
going on since, was solved when two
lumbermen, John Brown and Solo
mon Nom, while passing through q
densely wooded section of the noun
tains near Old Forge, stumbled across
the skeleton of man. Near by
hat and coat enabled the discov-
erers Of the body to identify it as that
Of Flohr.
On the day Of the old mountaineer's
disappearance he had been visiting a
son, Irwin S. Flohr, at Mountaindale,
and decided toward evening to make
his way across to Blue Ridge Summit,
where another son, D. S. Flohr, lived,
intending to spend the night there.
Despite efforts to dissuade him, F,lohr
started out across the mountains.
From that moment until his skeleton
was discovered about a mile from the
main mountain road his whereabouts
puzzled the countryside. It is now as
sumed that he became confused, wan
dered into the thicket and after becom.
ing exhausted, collapsed, and later died
Of starvation.
