upon House unr investigating com
mittees as a whole. Charles q. Dawes,
former head Of army supply procure
n1ent service In France, told one of
them today that the value OF their
work had been rendered useless through
injection of partisan politics.
Il bitterly resent this effort TO reflect
upon the entire army because some poor
devil blundered I'm Switzerland, he
shouted You cannot put blotch on
the army. What the hell did we go In
for? To steal money? II was not n Fe-
publican or a Democratic wnr. IL wac

these committees try to bring In par
tisan politics.
You could use your time in investi-
eating TO n better advantage right here
trying to save disaraceful government
waste. You could save more money FOR
the people But as TO France, you
haven't got evidence to make case
II one existed. and / don't believe II

Of deceased employees. The change
from the former system of recovery of
damages based upon the principle of
contributory negligence was affected
without friction or protest and prac-
tically no Persons at all have elected
not to operate under the provisions of
the compensation act. There has been
fine spirit of cooperation on the part
of employers and employees. and in the
great ma jority of contested cases there
has been "a fair difference of opinion as
90 the facts involved or the proper CON
struction OF the law.
The Delaware Compensation act
took effect January /. 1918. During the
year 1918 the number Of accidents re-
ported to the board was 6.f07: 4,S53 in
1919: 6.240 in 1920. making a to.al OF
1920 accidents reported in the three
years. OF this number. 2.460 were com
pensable, accidents resulting in injur-
