LabOr's Gains In Our
Compensation Laws
For the Last Decade

New York, Sept. 5.-With work
mems compensation laws enacted to
date in 43 states and in Alaska,
Porto Rico and Hawaii, in addition
to the model measure adopted by
the federal government for its half
million civilian employees, rapid pro
gress is being made toward proVld-
ing industrial accident insurance at
cost through state funds, according
to a statement issued to-day by the
American Association for Labor Leg
is!ation.
''Now that Georgia has at last en-
acted a worlmen's compensation law"
the statement says, "there remain
o1lv five states, and these non-in
dustrial states in the South, without
social insurance protection against
industrial accidents. This means
that more than fiv-siXths of the map
of the United States Las been COW
cred by compensation laws within
ten years. There has been marked
tendancy in nearly all states to
strengthen the laws in the direction
of more liberal benefits, shorter
waiting periods before payments be-
gins and wider scope.
sixteen states and Porto Rico
have established state funds for in
suring at cost the liability Of en-
ployees and in seven Of these states
the funds are exclusive, eliminating
expensive comercial insurance COM
petition. Recent official investiga-
lions in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New
York disclosed that, compared with
the stock casualty companies, the
State funds result in savings of mil
lions Of dollars every year to IN
dustry while at the same time per-
mitting more certain and liberal bene-
fits to injured workmen and their
families. 1t is significant that Ohio's
exclusive State fund, which has the
united support of employers and en-
ployees, is shown to give the best
results to both labor and industry"
To meet the emergency resulting
recently from a second five-to-four
decision of the United States Su-
preme Court, depriving longshoremen
of the protection of State compensa-
tion laws, the Association states that
bill is being prepared, in coopera-
tion with all interests affected, which
Congress will be called upon to pass,
restoring the benefits of workmen's
compensation to these and other
maritime workers within the lines
now laid down by the court.
"Recent reports from all parts of
the country" the statement contin-
ues, "indicate that along with the
| development of social insurance
against accidents there is a wide
spread movement for the extension
of social insurance laws to protect
workers also against the hazard of
sickness and the menace of unemploy-
ment."

CONNECTICUT
CLINCHES IT!

Hartford, Conn, Sept. IA
The Connecticut house Of repre-
sentatives ratified the federal
suffrage amendment this after
noon.
Within less than half an hour
after the house had adopted
the resolution, the senate took
similar action.
Irrespective of the final re-
suit of the tangle resulting from
ratification by Tennessee, which
was the thirty-siXth and neces-
sary state to pass the amend
ment, equal suffrage is now
part Of the constitution.
The vote in the House was
2t6 to II and in the Senate
33 to Q.

BurlesOn's Record
100 Per Cent Bad

Washington, Sept. 11.-Postmaster
General Burleson has maintained his
100 per cent opposition to an inde-
pendent worker by his discharge of
II officers of the Chicago Postal
Clerks union.
In their publicity campaign the
clerks used statements that were
made at hearings before Congress
and II officials are dismissed on the
ground of violation of law that de-
bars employees from soliciting gifts.
The union published a program of an
entertainment in which advertise
ments were printed.
The average length Of service Of
the victimized employees is Is years,
with one man nearly 25 years. These
men are only qualified for the postal
service, from which they are now
debarred. They also lose their in
terest in the civil service pension.
The latest move by the postal au-
tocrat is in accord with a policy that
he has rigidly maintained During the
war when postal employees asked
higher wages to meet advancing liv-
ing costs, the Postmaster General
declared that they were now getting
three times the amount paid a sol
der. He made no mention of his
wage, however, which is over 80
times more than a soldier received.
He has opposed organization Of
employees that cannot be controlled,
he has opposed wage increases, he
has recommended that the law pro-
viding that eight hours work shall
be done in a period of 10 be amended
to eight in y, and he has opposed
time and one-half for overtime, de-
spite the presidents declaration for
an eight-hour day.
Practically all Of the officers of
postal employees national unions are
men who have been dismissed by the
postmaster general because of THEN
protests against servitude and then
demands that postal employees be
treated as Americans.

Trusts Spokesman
Told to Face Facts

New York, Sept. lin an open
letter to the Iron Age, semi-official
organ of the steel trust and defender
of Garyism, officers Of the Inter
church World Movement suggest that
this publication ''face the facts The
editor is asked:
care cold facts on an actually
cXiStant autocracy to be met for
ever by trite fears Of another, non
cXistant autocracy, or by talk OF
wonderful progress when the hours
in the industry are longer now than
10 years ago? Are blancklists and
spy systems the industry's pride?"
The church men say that among
independent steel mill owners there
are men who profess repugnance to
the present system Of refusing to
confer with workers and the means
used TO maintain Garyism, but for
reasons concerning the steel trust
they claim they are unable to speak
out.
The church men have also appealed
to the public to take whatever steps
are possible, through organization or
otherwise, to avert another steel
strike and consequent nationwide
trouble This letter asks:
THE 12-hour day, involving hun
dreds of thousands; the seyen-day
week; wages that make for unhealthy
communities and an underfed race;
arbitrary management which pen
alizes the American spirit and cor
rupts it's institutions-is the reform
Of all this to be left simply to the
hazard Of a strike?
Cannot democracy govern it
self? Must the public, forewarned,
rest inert while basic industry pre-
parc5 troubles for all? Just because
the strike is some way off, or be-
cause the national campaign to allo-
.cate our political governance is on,
is the great democracy to let eco
nome governance go by sheer de-
fault?"

Urge Automatic Devices

Washington, Sept 11.-Automatic
train control devices are recommend
ed by w. p Borland of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in a report
on New York railroad wreck, last
June, that resulted in the death of 10
persons and the injury of AZ others.
"In view of the accident record of
the last several years, which includes
many accidents of the character Of
this one on roads where the best
trained and most competent men are
employed" says the report, sit is be-
lieved that failures of the human ele-
ment in connection with train opera
ton such as led to this accident can
not be fully checked or provided
against except by use of an auto
matte train control system to supple
ment existing block signals for the
purpose of compelling obedience to
signal indications"

BREAD LINES
FOR WORKERS
Pennsylvania Officials Feeding
This Dope to the
Public

Taxes of the American people are
being used by the Pennsylvania Rail.
road to coerce public opinion in sup
port of a policy of intimidation it has
adopted against its employees. 1t is
sending broadcast, to its workers and
thousands of others, pamphlet
which interprets the meaning of the
recent suspension of 10000 workers
and gives color to a charge by Gov
ernor Cox that large corporations
are reducing operating forces for po-
litical as well as moral effect.
This pamphlet directs attention to
the increase of unemployment and
conveys warning to the workers that
soon they will be in position where
they will be compelled to bow to the
dictation of employers.
Cure for Economic Ills
If the movement becomes general,
the statement says, it will cure our
economic ills. "The worlds woes
will take wing" if and when enough
workers are crowded into the bread
lines.
Employment is already less plen-
tiful," the Pennsylvania tells its
workers, "and as jobs become fewer
and the number of idle men larger,
no amount of braggadocio or threat
ening by misguided labor leaders will
or can stay the natural and inevitable
course of events. Employers every
where have meekly submitted to all
sorts of inefficiency and even impu-
dence from employees during the last
two or three years simply because
they We're glad to obtain workers of
any kind, no matter how unsatisfac-
tory"
But the situation has changed for
the better, the Pennsylvania officials
declare. "The adoption Of three-day
or four-day weeks in woolen mills
have been followed by similar cur
tailment of activities by knitting
mills, by shoe factories, by silk mills
and by many concerns handling lux
uries. Men are now seeking jobs in
stead of jobs seeking men,"
Workers, the statement continues,
have been hurt by too much pros
perity. "Silk shirts, $50 shoes, $75
suits or $1.25 an hour have been
more than lots of workers could
stand" Now they are to get back
TO nara pan. Inc SWanklnS ana
the staggering will shortly be on the
wane," the Pennsylvania hopes.
I"Workers will pay more attention to
the jobs and less attention to agita-
tors who fill no pay envelopes, but
fill their followers only with wind
Yes, we are moving to saner con-
ditions. Workmen here and there
are already seriously trying to earn
their pay"
Can't Fool the Public
The people are paying for the dis
tribution in large numbers of this in
flamamtory document. During the
first four months of private opera
tion the Pennsylvania Railroad re-
corded deficit in operation of $2l,
457, ,S07, compared with a net profit
made in the corresponding months
under Federal control of 81 ,491 ,093
In addition to the $21, 1,457 ,307 paiC

poration against its workers, the

MENDACIOUS NUT

Somebody has issued an eight
page folder, overflowing with false
hood, attacking the Nonpartisan
League Of North Dakota, entitled.
The Truth About North Dakota"
"A message to the men and women
Of Washington" In this tissue Of
falsehoods is one thing which might
lead thinking person to believe it.
That thing is clause in the North
Dakota anti-injunction law which
reads as follows:
mo restraining order or miunc-
tion shall prohibit any person or
persons whether singly or in concert
from terminating any relation of en-
ployment or from ceaSing to perform
amy work or labor or from recon-
mending advising or persuading 9th
ers so to do; or from attending at
amy place where any persons or per-
sons may lawfully be, for the purpose
Of obtaining or communicating in
formation, or from persuading any
such person to work or to abstain
from working; or from Ceasing to pa
tronize any party to such dispute ;
or from recommending, advising or
bti SAdNiltN blAiCLS 50 10 90. OF from
paying or giving to, or Withholding
from any person engaged in such dis
pute, any strike benefits or other
moneys or things of value; or from
assembling in a lawful manner and
for lawful purposes; or from doing
any act or thing which might law
fully be done in the absence of such
dispute by single person; nor shall
any of the acts specified in this sec
ton be considered or held to be il
legal or unlawful in any court of
this state"
We will say to the miscreant who
wrote the falsehoods referred to and
left nothing from which to trace
his identity, that if the above quoted
clause is in the laws Of North
Dakota it atones for all the alleged
evil the Nonpartisan League of that
state may have done.

More i'm Sorrow
Than in Anger

When Bill Hart or Tom Mix or
Harry Carey have romped through
four and half reels, rustling cattle,
holding up trains and robbing stage
coaches YOU may see the redeemed
bad man ride into the sunset across
the Mexican border while kind
hearted sheriff waves a friendly
farewell from the distance. They get
away with it in the films. BUT
In the days when a cowpuncher
earned $50 a month instead of being
paid 81 900 a week and when he man
cured his nails by scraping the sand
out of the bake oven, it was differ
ent. If careless stranger slaugh-
tered somebody else's beef, the own
er and his friends usually escorted
said stranger beneath stout cotton
wood tree and moved the ground from
under him. They took these steps
more in sorrow than in anger, for
hanging the rustler did not resurrect
the dead steer.
Neither rustlers nor human nature
has changed much since those days.
Now the rustlers run off with YOUR
dollars instead of your cows. They
work with oil stock prospectuses,
promises of fifty per cent dividends
and assurances of enormous price adj
vances instead of by blotting brands
and stampedes. Sooner or later
most of them run foul of the law
and are captured or chased across
the border. But if they have taken
your money, putting them in the big
stone house at Atlanta or Leaven-
worth won't bring your dollars back.
If you let your dollars run loose,
the rustlers are mighty likely to get
at least some of them. The one safe
plan is to put them where the rust
lers cannot take them from you
So long as you keep your dollars cor
raled in Liberty Bonds and Govern
ment Savings Securities they are
safe. Charles Ponzi is in Jail but
the investors to whom he promised
80 per cent profit in three months
have received neither money nor prof
it. Putting Ponzi in Jail did not get
their money back but putting THEN
money into Liberty Bonds would have
kent them from losing it.-BUY W
