In whose home II was sweet to
dwell;
Who believed in raising children,
And not In raising hell.

statutes, committee this morning and
advocated passage OF Representative

trial accident board named under the
original bill, but would extend the
liability OF an employer for medical and
surgical attention TO an injured en-
ploye from two weeks to one year. The
amendment provides that the Governor
name another board Of three members,
one OF which shall be a physician.
The limit under the present bill OF Sl5

out. was often exhausted In two weeks
with the result that the physicians get
little If anything for their services.

Accident Industrial board, stated that
as per cent. OF the compensation cases
lasted not more than two weeks, John

employees and any others interested be-
fore anything Is done He termed the
doctors the best "closed shop" in the
world and urged that nothing be done
that would throw a money wrench into
the compensation machinery OF the
State.
Drs. Mayerberg and Marshall agreed
that the amendment would result In an
increase in compensation insurance
rates. The former said the members OF
the State Medical Society had signed
an agreement not 10 treat any compen-
sation cases unless satisfactory changes
are made.

pressions between the physicians and
Mr.. Saylor and Fred p. Stierle. The
