Maurcr Gives views
James II. Maurer. of Reading,
president of the State Federation
of Labor voiced disappointment at
the opposition developed to the ad-
ministration bill. saying that while
it did not give what labor had asked
in it's original drafts of amendments
to be made, he thought it best. I'VE
don't intend to have the act as it
stands mutilated. If this is not ac-
cepted, let the law stand as it is
said he. Mr.. Maurer contended that
under the Reed amendments men
pClNcGii Flf anu F-V t NCtr
would not share and men getting
over $50 would reap the benefit. Mr.
Maurer charged that employers
made men lay off two weeks to
avoid infection from injuries and
suggested 81 days instead of 40 as
the disability period wherein COM
pensation should begin with the ac
cident. THE Governors propo
sition is fair and we accept it. II
the act is to be weakened we ask
no change" said he.
Senator Charles Donahue, of Loci
Haven. asked Mr.. Maurer whether
he and his friends would not b'

pensation next session if they got ar
increase this year and two year:
later for So and two years after tina
for 100 per cent.

Mr.. Maurer.
well, if you get 100 per cent.
men can lay off and get their wages,
remarked the Senator.
Reflection OH Board
Mr.. Maurer reported that IL an,
man laid off most employers woulC

men were receiving what they wer,
not entitled to, was a reflection OF

Mine Assessments
Unfair to Owners,
Operators Charge

Pottsville, Pa, May 21.-The ap-
parent understanding between county
commissioners and coal companies in
the assessment of Schuylkill county coal
lands was disrupted when counsel for
the commissioners and operators clashed
in court Monday.
While the Tax Revision League
charged that the commissioners have as
sessed coal lands hundreds of millions
of dollars below market value, w. X.
Woodbury., counsel for the Sheafer and
Gilbert coal land owners, declared to
court that lands of his clients at Shen-
andoah had been raised 125 per cent.
in taxation, according to the new as
sessment. He said general real estate
in Shenandoah, which includes miner
homesteads and business places, is as
sessed only at 10 per cent value, ac-
cording to recent sales. These assess
ments were not raised by the commits
sioners, he added.
A. L. Shay, representing the COM
missioners, withdrew from his agree
ment to hold the hearing for these
cases in October. as 1t is necessary to
float a bond issue to meet Shenandoah's
needs. The question, he said must be
settled at once.
Engineers. employed by the coal
land owners. are now attempting to
determine the tonnage already mined
at Shenandoah and the amount remain
ing. One of the Philadelphia lawyers
employed in the cases is in London
and cannot be here until fall.
Court decided to hear the Shenan-
doah cases in September. but will hear
the other experts in June.

to be tinkered with" said he. He
declared advances in compensation
might destroy incentive to work, en-
courage maligning and bring about
some fake ''disa bility." He said the
minimum of Sc was too low and
should be 81 and that there should
be increases in the rates for deaths
and total disability. He gave this
as the combined judgment of men in
the Pennsylvania ManufIcturers'
Association and various employers,
suggesting changes in the waiting
period and that If disability lasted
seven weeks compensation should
begin with the accident, medical and
hospital charges to be separate with
SO as the figure for each. In COM
menting upon the plans for these
limits he said that new provisions
would prevent any ambulance
chasing by doctors.
Henry w. Moore, of Philadelphia,
speaking for the Manufacturers As
sociation, discussed the medical
charges and the waiting period;
Henry |. Wilson, of Jefferson coun-
ty, speaking for the Central Penn
sylvania Coal Operators Associa-
ton. objected to the payment to
widows after remarriage as "estab-
fishing a peculiar precedent" and the
provision for supervision of pay
ments to dependents by the State
Board. He suggested that guardi-
ans should be named. f. c. Jones,
Wilkes Barre. made objections to
the plan for determination of wages
on basis of gross earnings without
deducting supplies and labor in an
thracite mining as IAN untrue" ba-
sis, and to the method of determine
ton of days as involving too much
search.
Changes in Procedure
F. NJ. Painter. speaking for the
Pittsburgh Coal Operators Asso-
citation. suggested changes in pro-
cedure, one being that agreements
be altered as of the time when stat
us changed: no awards be made on
incompetent testimony; notice of ap-
peals to court be given by appellant
and that courts be empowered to
dispose of Gases instead of return
inE them to the State Board for re-
view.
DIR. A. S. Van Sycle, representing
the State Medical Society, declared
doctors should have definite allow
ances as hospitals owing to re-
quirements sometime get most of
the money for the treatment, sug-
gesting that the New York State
method be applied. Sherman Con-

was very close and neither side
would be injured by accepting 1t.
Mr.. Palmer remarked that people
were being satisfied as to dollars and
cents, but not as to methods.
The Attorney General replied that
he had endeavored to appreciate
both sides opinions and stood by his
bill, which he asked to have report
ed. Mr.. Grundy then entered into
the discussion and differed with the
Attorney General as to how much
he and his friends had been con-
suited about compensation changes
