WORKER PLANT
 CHANGES HANDS

As result of a business deal effect . ed last evening between Geo. $. May nard. proprietor of the Nugget, and the Nome Miners Union, the owner ship of the newspaper plant and equipment of the former union jour nal the industrial Worker. became vested in Mir Maynard.
 Rumor has been busy regarding the plant for some time owing to reported efforts of certain unsavory political clique to secure the property for po- litical purposes. Altho efforts were undoubtedly made by this aggregation soem time ago. it appears that some of the bunch. evidently seeing the "Mene, Meme Tekel--" in the demo cratic sky, refused to kick in with the cash. As the Union declined to ac- cept any of the plethora of "jawbonc" possessed by the gang. the attempt to secure the plant failed. And--as we remarked before-the Juneau annoint- ed one still murmurs to the cold. un- needing air his old time plaint: "lf We only had a paper"

y STATE COMPENSATION LAW


The committee appointed by Gov,
ernor Allen to write a new compen.
sation law to be presented to the next
Kansas legislature, has set December
] as the tentative date for a meet.
Ing at Topeka for the purpose OF
hearing representatives Of the EN-.

surance companies, according to an
announcement by A. NJ. Keene of
Fort Scott, state senator from Bour-
bon county, who is chairman Of the
committee.
Creation Of an assessment fund
from which to pay compensation to
injured workmen, levied on employ
ers OF the state, and possibly en-
ployees also, probably will be among
the recommendation to the legisla-
ture, Mr.. Keene said. The proposed
state fund, however, is not to be ex-
elusive, as insurance companies pro-
badly will be allowed to issue in
surance contracts to pay losses. Al
commission would be created to
handle these matters, investigating
the claims and paying losses.
