Six Ramsey county young men who

awaiting themselves Of Y.M.C.A. OPP
portunities thru funds provided from
accrued wal time expenses by the well
fare organization, according to Coun-
ty Secretary Conrad. The names were
not, however, made public.
AS a partial adjustment Of overseas
freight charges in connection with the
army anteen service, the U. S. gov
eminent recently paid the treasurer
Of the national wal work council OF
the Y. M. c.. A., the sum Of 100000.
1t will be recalled that the Y. NJ. C. A.
handled the army canteen in France
at the direction of General Pershing
and the war department., and sold can
teen supplies according to army regul-
ations. The war department promised
free transportation for all canteen
supplies, but the rush of troops and
munitions prevented this provision
being carried out on government ships.
Consequently, the Y. NJ. C. A., had to
pay the enormous freight charges Of
that period. This reimbursement
from the government covers only part
of the transportation expense, which,
with other canteen operating charges,
was in many cases paid out of asso-
citation funds, in addition tc the ex-
penses of the regular work of the
Y. M. c. A., as a welfare ~organiza-
ton.
The treasures of the Y.M.C.A. wal
work council has turned this amount
over to the national treasurer of the
American Legion. A still larger sum,
which was refunded by the govern
ment in connection with the war work
affairs in France, was turned over to
the American Legion by the Y. M. C.

BUREAU WILL
HAVE MILLION
Compensation Law Pill.
ing Up An Enormous
Sum

Bismarck, N. D.-The funds of the
North Dakota Workmen's Compensa-
ton bureau, which are now attacked
as being beyond the bureaus needs
and a penalty upon industry, may in
crease until the funds amount to mil
lions of dollars, under the plan of
procedure explained by S. S. McDon-
aid, commissioner.
The amount Of money derived in
one year from the insurance must be
sufficient to car for the payments
allowed to disabled workmen in that
year until the payments are finished.
Mr.. Mcdonald said. 1t is the plan to
allow the interest derived to pay the
operating expenses of the bureau.
The bureau received $526,651.94
during the fiscal year of the opera
ton of the law, and expended SOB ,055
leaving approximately $427,O00 on
hand.
In several cases claims for perman-
ent injuries were allowed, under which
rulings persons will draw payments
from the bureau for the rest of their
life. The case Of Guy Blake injured
in a dynamite explosion in Burleigh
county, was cited as an instance of
the manner which the system operates,
Blake is blind, his hands were blown
off and he is allowed two-thirds of his
average weekly salary for the re-
manner of his life, or SIS a week. Fig
uring that he will live 80 years, un-
der the American mortality table, he
will receive during his lifetime $780,
5O4 from the workmen's compensation
bureau.
