SyIvest Will Ask
For New Bank Law

Franklinton, La, Feb. 25.-Guar-
anty of bank deposits, which has been
before every session Of the Legisla-
ture since 1912, will again be an is
sue at the May term of the lawmak-
ing body, but in new form. An
optional form of guaranteeing depos-
itors will be proposed by NJ. J. Syl-
vest, member of the House of Repre-
sentatives from Washington parish.
Mr.. Sylvest introduced a bill to
make the guaranty of bank deposits
compulsory at the recent special ses-
sion of the Legislature, but it failed
on account of opposition of banking
interests. Several members of the
House gave Mr.. Sylvest to under
stand that they would support bill
that would make it optional with the
banks as to whether they would enter
a guaranty system. Taking these
members at their word, Mr.. Sylvest
is preparing such a bill and will in
troduce it early in the session. At
the same time he is investigating the
operation of bank guaranty plans in
other states in order to fortify him
self with arguments in support Of his
bill.
81 believe" Mr.. Sylvest said, ''the
passage of a bill making it optional
with the banks as to whether it shall
come under its provisions will accom-
plish the same purpose as a cOmpul-
sorry guaranty measure. It would
mean the establishment of the bank
guaranty system in the state for the
very simple reason that few if any
banks could afford to stay out of it.
If one bank in a city or town should
enter the system, all of the others
would follow. Competition would
force them to do this.
al. E. Thomas, state bank commits
sioner, expressed himself in favor Of
an optional guaranty system at the
last session Of the Legislature. Mr..
Thomas had bill drawn along that
line, but concluded to let it go over
until May"

court RULES ON
ACCIDENT LAW
Applies Where Five or More
Work Under Direction
of Employer
IT'S INTENT BROAD,
JUDGES INTERPRET

An important decision interpret
ing a coverage section of the Della
ware workmen's compensation law
was handed down recently by the
Superior Court Of Sussex County in
the case OF Hampton w. King VS..
I George Shockley
King lost hand while employed
In a saw-mill operated by Shockley,
at Rehoboth, where six persons were
working under the direction and
control of shockley. but It was
claimed that only three Of them
(and one was King) were employed
by shocfley.
The compensation law provides
that every person who has in his
! service any one under contract of
hire shall be subject to the provi-
sions of the law except such persons
as are exempted and one of the
classes exempted is employers or
employees in any employment In
which less than Ave persons are en-
ployed."
The question that was raised was
whether the words persons en-
ployed' mean only persons who are
under contract of hire. or whether
they may be construed to embrace
persons who are not under contract
or hire. but who, in conjunction with
an employer or employed, are oc-
cupied or engaged In the regular
business OF the employer with his
approval and under his direction and
control"
In deciding that "only a workman
under contract OF hire can be en-
titled to compensation. but II there
are five persons employed at the
time of an employees injury, some of
whom are not under contract of
hire, but all OF whom are working
under the direction and control of
the employer. the act applies" the
court said;
That the Workmen's Compensa-
tion Law of this State was intended
to be very general and comprehen-
sive iH its scope and effect is appar-
ent, not only from the purpose Il
was designed to accomplish. and the
persons II was intended TO protect.
but also from its exemptions.
The law would have embraced all
professions. trades. businesses and
occupations IL none were exempted,
and II does. therefore. embrace all
that are not exempted. Such being
the case. the court feels It their duty
to give the provisions in question
such reasonable and liberal con-
struction as will carry out the real
purpose OF the Legislature. II not
so constructed. not only would its
intent be defeated. but an employer
could easily evade It's application"
