must GIVE IN FLU CASES
Order Is Issued BY the Mime
sofa State Board of
Health
UNITED Press Dispatch.l

ST. Paul, January 23.-The state
board of health this afternoon issued
an order that all county and city
health officers make daily report of
influenza cases in their territory. This
action was taken following a report
of $50 new cases in Albert Lea to-
day and an appeal sent out from
there for nurses from the twin cities.
At special meeting last evening of
the Albert Lea city council an order
was passed forbidding all public
gatherings and closing all public
amusement places. 1t is probable
that the Albert Lea winter carnival,
set for next week will be called off.
1t is estimated that there are 500
cases of "fiu" in Mankato, but most
of them are of mild type.

ArgumentsFor and Against
Will Be Heard Soon
SESSION IN THE CAPITOL
Those interested Are Urged to
Be In Attendance At This
Meeting

The workmen's compensation COM
mission of the house of representa-
tives OF the Minnesota legislature will
hold a meeting the first week in Feb
gether at that time, for the considera-
ton of arguments for and against the
establishment of a state Insurance
fund. The meeting will be held in the
rooms of the speaker of the house at
the state capitol in st. Paul, and the
hearings will be public. Continuous
sessions will be held until the COM
mission has obtained all the informa-
ton at hand, after which an investi-
cation will be made of the operation
of the state fund in Ohio. Present
plans, according to John l. Levin,
secretary of the commission, are to
call the meeting for February g..
Shortly after it's appointment the
house commission called upon those
interested in the matter to file their
arguments in the form of briefs, and
this has been done, that of the Mime
sofa Employers association, the last
to file, having been submitted few
days ago. The Insurance Federation
of Minnesota filed its brief first, early
in December, the Minnesota State
Federation of Labor and mutual in
surance companies filing at later
date.
Only Formal Arguments Presented.
These will be the only formal ar
guments to be presented. 1t is ex-
pected each of the foregoing organiza-
tions will be represented at the hear
ings by counsel or some member de-
signated for that purpose.
OF the four briefs filed that of the
Federation of Labor is the only one
to recommend the adoption by Min
nesota of the state fund plan.
The Minnesota Employers associa-
ton, the members of which, of course,
foot the bills in the matter of the
costs for compensation insurance OF
their employees, presents very strong
argument in favor of the present law,
which provides workmen's compensa-
ton insurance, to be placed through
the recognized insurance agency
channels, or to DO furnished by the
employer himself. The Insurance
Federatfon's brief points out the eco
Monies of the present law and SUBJ
mits good argument for it because
of the protective, accident preventive
features embodied under the present
form of protection through the var
ious insurance companies.
Costs Of Compensation.
The Minnesota Federation Of Labor
lays considerable stress, in its brief
upon the costs Of compensation in
surance under the present law, but
