OHIO COMPENSATION LAW

The insurance interests of the
United States are again busy in Ohio
for the purpose of misrepresenting
the Ohio Workmen's Compensation
Law and endeavoring to permit the
Liability Companies to write work
mems compensation. This, notwith-
standing that the state of Ohio and
the Ohio State Federation of Labor
won a decision in the supreme court
of the United States on this question;
namely the Thornton injunction suit.
Mr.. o. K. Shimansky, the editor of
the Ohio Journal of Commerce is
again active in endeavoring to dis
credit the Ohio law. Some time since
Mr.. Shimansky sent out letters to
certain employers in Ohio, the ans
wers to which We're used in an effort
to discredit the Ohio law during COM
pensation hearings before the Mime
sofa legislature. His present efforts
along this line in the interest of the
insurance companies now takes the
form of the following petition which
is being sent out broadcast among the
employers of the state to be signed
and presented to the general assem-
bly,:
"To the Governor and the General
Assembly of the State of Ohio:
"The undersigned employers of
Ohio ask that the Workmen's Com
pensation Law be changed so that the
State Fund may be placed upon a
sound basis, and that the Ohio En-
ployers be given the right and priv
ilege to meet their obligations under
the Workmen's Compensation Law,
either by carrying their own risks,
or insuring them with reputable COM
panies under proper regulation and
control, or continue with the State
Fund"
This new attack upon the Ohio
Workmen's Compensation Law is 3e-
ing watched by the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor and those behind
the movement to break down the
Ohio Workmen's Compensation Law
and permit the Insurance Companies
to make a profit out of Industrial in
juries and deaths will find they have
Started something"

A DANGEROUS STANDING ARMY

The most dangerous standing
army" is not the kind the Kaiser
drilled, trained and taught to stand
straight. That sort of army taking
a million men away from production
is bad CROUCH.
But worse is the army OF unem-
ployed, the men that stand around
and grow bitter.
We have in the United standing
army of four millions and more now.
1t should not grow bigger.
We should consider ourselves on the
road to disaster, if we actually had an
army of four million men producing
nothing.
They at least would be trained,
drileld and BUSY. The idle standing
army is menace.

LINCOLN WOULD BE OUT OF
PLACE TODAY


Abe Lincoln was a good old soul,
and was popular in his day, but his
sayings are taking on more and more
of a bolshevistic tone. For instance,
take this sentiment, expressed at a
meeting in Cincinnati on September
II, 1859:
"The people of these United States
are masters of both congresses and
courts, not to overthrow the constitu-
tion, but to overthrow the men who
pervert the constitution"
If Lincoln were to come back and
repeat the above statement some in
junction judge would try to have him
run in for seditious utterances.

DIRECT ACTION FAVORED BY
BIG BUSINESS

Up to a few weeks ago big business
insisted that the labor provisions OF
the Cummins- Esch law was the last
word in craftsmanship. Justice to
the railroad employees was the glad
refrain, and the public joined in shouts
of JOY, for "our leading citizens
spoke.
Now big business has been blocked
in an attempt to smash these labor
provisions, which have been in opera
tion less than a year.
When big business found the law
interfered with arbitrary wage re-
ductions railroad managers were
ordered to scrap it by rushing the
railway labor board off it's feet.
eve are on the verge of bankrupt
cyw they shrieked.
But the favorite device-scaring
the people-has failed.
The proposal is so crude, SO lacking
in the methods of an artistic Captain
Kidd, that no one, outside of office
boys for big business, has been found
who is courageous enough to defend
it.
The law provides regular and order
ly methods to change wages or work
ing conditions, but big business favor
ed direct action-they demanded that
the law be set aside and they be given
a free hand.
And these direct actionists are re-
sponsible for the law that they would
now ignore because it does not suit
their purpose.
No propaganda ever equalled that
conducted by the railroads and allied
interests for the Cummins-Esch law,
for "can't-strike" laws and for higher
freight and passenger rates.
They succeeded in two instances,
but labor defeated their plan to make
strikes criminal. The present rail-
way labor board-two representatives
of employees, railroads and the public
was agreed to.
The sincerity of the railroads is
now shown in their attempt to defeat
the purpose and the spirit of the law.
No group of employers ever made
shch sudden about face, or so quick
ly ignored public opinion they Gre
ated Neither did the defenders of
such group so quickly muffe brass
throated notes that were pitched in
defense of "can't-strike" legislation
and higher rates.
If it were necessary to prove the
need for solidarity among railroad
employees, reaction presents the evil
dence.

new SPRING MILLINERY
Fabric Foundation Is Feature of
SeasOnable Readgear.
Etamine, Loose Mesh Cotton Material
Resembling Batavia Cloth, Is One
of the Latest.

The new millinery which has already
made it's appearance this spring has
usually some sort of a fabric founda-
ton such as satin, taffeta, faille cr
crepe de chine, this latter material be
ing in the lead. Another fabric which
is new to the season is a loose mesh
cotton called etamine, somewhat re-
sembling batavia cloth.
The mesh is so open that ribbons are
often run through it, giving the effect
of embroidery. Colored fabrics from
Japan are also used. In fact, there is
quite a vogue for things oriental, and
japanese embroideries are seen on
many a smart shape Sport hats which
are trimmed in this manner are gen.
orally accompanied by a scarf and
handbag to match.
Small shapes are the general favor
ties, with a strong tendency toward
the Moroccan turban effect. This is q
draped affair with a trimming which
droopS at the side. This dropping eff
feet is to be an important one this sea-
son. Sometimes it is obtained by
means of a ribbon bow with long ends
which hang from the side, extending to
or below the shoulder. Then again
flowers or feathers, often placed be-
meath the brim, carry out this idea.

Gown About. Three Yards, When
Bought Ready Made.

Enter the sash! 1t has made its
bow, and from the immense applause
at its entrance, it promises to be on
the boards for some time. By this is
meant, not the sash which is of self
material and finishes off a great many
of those new low-bloused frocks, but
its more brilliant cousin, the separate
sash, that is bought or made separate
ly, to be treated as pet accessory for
wearing with several costumes, or as
several sashes for one costume.
1t is long, about three yards, wien
bought ready made, and goes about
the waist only once, tying to one side
and dropping to the edge of the skirt,
If not below it. Deep-knotted fringe
weights it and compOses at least
twelve inches of it's length at each
end.
And what makes the new sashes?
All those lovely new ribbons you have
been eying from a distance and wish
ing you could invent an excuse for
wearing. There are beautiful Roman
striped ones, the fringe on the ends re-
peating the colors of the stripes or ac-
centuating one color. These are to be
worn with navy tricotine and serge
frocks, under the very short jackets
that are coming into vogue for top
ping eff the chemiSe dress, and with
separate skirts that are not too gay
in themselves. Wonderful new apri-
cot, jade and bronze satin ribbons are
weighted with matching fringe for use
