STEEL OPERATIONS
BEING SUSPENDED

Suspensions of operations in the steel
industry during this month have been
without parallel since December. 1919,
when the industry was demoralized fol-
loving the outbreak OF the war. The
exception. however, is in the hiGh rate
OF production which the steel Corpora
TONS plants are able To maintain, ac-
cording to weekly reviews of the steel
situation. A slowing down of the steel
business in December is a normal
process and except during the abnormal
war period, when the industry was
working at high pressure. it received
only passing notice.

At first wheat showed q downward
tendency, with no sign OF new export
business, besides fresh declines in cot
ton. Later. however. liberal clearances
OF wheat and -four from the seaboard
attracted notice, and together with the
numerous vessel, arrivals at Galveston
put the bears at a disadvantage. A
broader domestic milling demand for
wheat was also reported and country
offerings were small despite an advance
of 1c- for shipment to the Gulf. Talk
of expected competition from Argentina
failed to act as an offset.
Indications of a relatively light move

PROTECTION NEEDED FOR
CERTAIN UNFORTUNATES

Sheriff King Graham of Cumber-
land county, following the arraign-
ment last Monday in the municipal
court before Judge c. Z. McGlaugh-
lin, of two girls on charges concern
ing the legitimacy of children, made
the following statement relative to
the need Of a home in Maine for
sheltering and caring for such I'M
Terminates:
This case'is but sample of those
that are being brought to the atten-
ton Of our officials nearly every fort
night. There is a crying need for a
home to take care Of such cases. The
only thing that can be done for these
girls is to send them to Skowhegan
to keep them off the street. thereby
protecting themselves and the COM
munity. And Skowhegan was really
not meant for such cases. AS long
as we permit these cases to go by
without our attention, we continue
to populate the State with feeble
minded children. Both of the girls
in this case are mentally deficient.
These girls are physically capable of
performing some duties. An insti-
tuition for their benefit could be
made practically self-supporting."
1t may be said that the only course
for the judge under present circum-
stances was to sentence the young
girls to the Woman's Reformatory at
Skowhegan.
The matter was called to the at
tention of Captain James F. Bag
ley, secretary of the State Board of
Charities and Corrections. who said
Il agree with Sheriff Graham alb
solutely in the need of better pro-
visions for our hayward girls. but !
don't think we need new institutions
SO much as enlargement Of and bet
ter use of the ones we have. l can
not imagine any better place for the
hayward girl under 16 who needs in
stitution care, than the State School
for Girls. For the older girl who is
of normal mentality, the Reforma =
tory for Women, when provided with
proper capacity, has the right ideals
and is trying to do the right kind of
work. The point where we are par
ticularly falling down is in the de-
fective girl, as Sheriff Graham says
And the place for this girl is the
School for Feeble minded We dc
not need to provide a special in
stitution for the mentally defective
| hayward girl but we do need. most
urgently. to provide space at the
| school for the Feeble minded. I'm
| til we do this, we are in exactly the
! position that Sheriff Graham says
populatins our State with feeble
minded children"

Important Decision Care
Of Injured Employees

Major Arthur L. Thayer of Ban
gor, chairman of the Industrial Acct
dent Commission, has rendered a de-
cision in the case of Clifford Mcclure
of Dover against the American Wool
en- Co. and Employers Liability As
surance Co. ordering the respondents
to pay Dr. William c. Peters of Ban
gor the full amount of his bill for
services rendered the petitioner,
McClure) amounting to 1910. The
decision involves one of the most i'm
portant points that has yet arisen
under the Workmen's Compensation
law and will be noted with interest
by injured employees. employers, in
surance people, lawyers and doctors,
each being directly concerned.
Mcclure, employed by the Ameri-
can Wooden Co. at Dover. was in
jured Sept. 81, 1919, his right fore
arm sustaining a compound fracture.
Two local doctors unsuccessfully
tried to reduce the fracture and on
Oct. 2. on their suggestion, he went
to the Eastern Maine General hos
pital at Bangor, where DR.. VIM. c.
Peters gave expert treatment, A re-
covery being made. DR.. Peters bill
was 500. The insurance company
rendered him a check for $40 in full
payment, which he declined The
question was brought up under the
Workmen's Compensation law before
the commission to decide what DR.
Peters should be paid
The decision cites the law as con-
tanned in Section 10, which provides
for furnishing by the employer dur
ing the first 80 days of all reasonable
medical, surgical and hospital ser
vices. etc, to amount of 800, unless a
longer period or greater sum is al
lowed by the commission. 1t found
that in this case it was warranted
and SO ordered the payment of the
full amount of the bill. Then follows
a statement of what the law provides
for the injured employe placing the
full burden upon the employer or in
surance carrier. 1t closes with the
pointblank statement
Injured employees entitled to COM
pensation under the terms of the
Maine Workmen's Compensation Act
are IN no sense to be con-
sidered as objects of charity or
of State aid. They are entitled
by the terms of the act to
be furnished all necessary medicine.

the insurance carrier and at the ex-
pense of no other person or institu-
ton in this State. and injured en-
ployes are as much entitled to re-
ceive compensation for loss of time. -
