Sen. Frizell Would Charge Railroads
For Delays in Transit

If 1t is fair for railroad company
to charge So day for demurrage, 1t
is also fair for the company to pay
for each day Of unreasonable delay
to furnishing cars to shippers, in the
opinion of Senator Il. E. Frizell Of
Larned. He is author Of bill which
would require the railroad to pay at
demurrage rates for every day after
forty eight hours have elapsed fol-
lowing shippers application Of a
freight car.
Senator Frizell is one Of the larg-
est wheat growers in the state. He
was recently elected president Of
the State Board of Agriculture and
is behind a number Of bills designed
to aid farmers, including measure
to eliminate board Of trade specula-
tiOn.

TOWNLEY DARE NOT DEBATE
League champion ID Afraid to Meet
Opponent

A. &C. T0wnley, heralded as a
forceful defender Of his discredited
League, is having a hard time. The
former attorney general Of North
Dakota, VIM. LANCER, is In Kansas
trying to get Townley to meet him
in debate. He has challenged him
time after time to meet him any
where, any time, but Townley has
hidden out and now his state mana
ger driven to bay has issued reply
in which he says he "will select"
some one for the debate II 1t can be
arranged. That's a fine leadership
for an organization-afraid to face
an audience with a speaker from
North Dakota familiar with the dis
graceful facts of, League manage
ment. The League must be proud
of him.

BUCKINGHAM TELLS HOW COMPENSATION
 ACT IS DEVELOPING.

"8. Find something in which the claimant is interested and talk to him about it. It may be prohibition prize fighting baseball football etc
 '9. Be sympathetic.
 "10. Have respect for the position in life of the injured. E "11. Have respect for the rights of the injured and do not force a settle ment that you know is unfair.
 "12. Make as speedy a settlement as possible.
 "13 Do not quote too much law. It does not impress the injured as much as you think for as rule he does not know what you are talking about.
 "14. In your settlement, satisfy fled claimant is a good ad for any company"
 ''The Workmen's Compensation Act of Connecticut was passed by. the Legislature, Oct. 1, 1913, and became effective Jan. l, 1914. It s received the unanimous vote of both Houses. which was a.. wonderful victory for what was then a radical act in a conservative state. The governor immediately appointed commissioners parties. The board has never been used as a political football, and after appointment no member has taken an active part in politics. The board COnSlSlS OI three ldWS CTS, i pnySlClStI1 and 1ayman.
 ''It is one of the most economically administered of the various state boards. The expenses during the last two years, including salaries, were less than $5O,OOO a year, notwith- standing the fact that approximately $4,5O0,000 has been expended under the direction of Nthe commissioners during these years. During that same period, 71,6S7 accidents were Ir~a tn6 1f3r O. ments approved; 2,173 formal hear ings held, and 1,6o5 formal awards | made.
 "The district system benefits the in- | iured workmen as quick action may be had. The decision is final unless appeal; is taken to the courts. The commissioners hold very frequent | meetings to discuss new problems. Hearings are not governed by the ordinary rules of evidence. The com | missioner makes his own rules. Cir cumStahtia1 evidence. hearsay, let | ters, reports. almost any kind of evi- dence that will assist in determining | the case is allowed. The motto of the commi missioner is Learn the truth | about the claim
 ''The minimum amount allowed for compensation is $5, and the maxi mum is SIS. In case of death the de- pendents receive compensation fol l 312 weeks, and $100 funeral expenses If dependents are nonresident aliens the compensation is reduced one-half Compensation for total and partia | disability may extend for a period not to exceed 520 weeks. In the act is a schedule providing compensation 'I for loss or loss of use of various members of the human body, varying from 1 8 weeks for the loss of one toe
 to the total of 520 for the loss of botf eyes, both arms, etc.
 Any employe who has sustained
 an injury in the course of his employ
 ment must forthwith notify his em | ployer. Failing so to do, the em I ployer must show prejudice. Int award may be reduced accordingly
 An employer shall keep a record O all accidents that incapacitate an em 'tploye one day or more, and shall re port them weekly. A claim for com pensation must be made in writin!

.Compensation Commissioner Ed ward T. Buckingham made a plea for better salaries for claim adjusters and N handed them his own fourteen points" of advice at the annual din- ner of the New York Claim associa- ton at the Yale club, New York, last night After sketching the working details of the Connecticut Compensa- ton law, MT. Buckingham said:
 "The business of the claim adjust CT is not taken seriously enough I believe it has now earned the dignity of being called a profession. More attention should be paid to the pre- liTninary instruction. There should be a school of instruction where cer- tain fundamental principles should be taught and the foundation laid before an adjuster begins his work.
 Not many years ago the impress sion was prevalent that an adjuster ton was a highway robber; that he was directed to get a, release signed in any way he. could upon the pay ment of the least possible amount of money and that insurance companies collected all the premiums they could and never paid any claims unless fore ed to do so by legal means or other wise.
 This impression has changed and ] believe that the passage of act like our compensation act has helped make the exchange. People now are beginning to believe that the insur- dHCe companies ana wish to act fairly in cases of accident and do not wish their adusters to take advantage of injured persons in set tement of claims.
 Claim adjuSters, a, rule. are not properly compensated for the work they do and the responsibilities placed upon them. They are paying and agreeing on behalf of com panies to pay hundreds of thousands of dol- lars and they are not receiving the salaries in keeping with these respon- abilities
 'Adjusters should have more au- thority in the settlement of claims and not be complied to refer to the home office in many cases for final authority. If an adjuster is not capable of using judgment and dis cretion> then he should not be ad- juster.
 'In the settlement of public liability cases if one has been settled unfairly and unjuStly, the company should willingly reopen the case and make a fair adjustment as may be done in a compensation case In fact the conn pensation act may be used a pretty fair guide in the settlement of many accident cases.
 ''I will give you just fl points to consider for what they may be worth |:
 q. Do not go at a case like a foot ball player after a fumbled ball. Take a little more time.
 2. Be diplomatic in your speech and actions. DO not lose your tem- per even if the injured does call you and the company some harsh names
 B. Let the injured person do most of the talking for as a rule he likes to do it and if. it m a-kes him feel good what's the harm? .a
 "4. Agree wiEn him as much as pos- sible Aon-exerything- says -especf- ally at the beginning of the conversa- ton.
 "5. Treat him fairly and do not let him feel that you are unfriendly to him.
 "6. Figure on using a little bit of the Golden Rule. Put yourself in his place.
 ''7. Be a student or human nature You can't talk the same to every one
