Pres Paul d. Moody of Middlebury Col
lege Repeats Assertions.

1 Middlebury, March 1.-THE discus
sion of the adjusted compensation
bill at the meeting Of the Wetherell
Debating club Thursday afternoon at
tracted large audience from the
faculty and student body President
Paul ID. Moody, speaking as one who
had seen two years service with the A.
X. +. in France, led the discussion
by aaking the position that no man
can possibly be paid for doing his
highest duty and that is sacred
privilege; that a fair adjustment could
never be made because of varying, in
dividual conditions of length and
danger Of service, and that it was
economically impossible to finance suth
q compensation scheme without severe
economic disarrangement and con
scquent increase in unemployment with
consequent hardship.
Egbert Gallagher '23 and Murray %,
ex-service men and members of the
American Legion, is giving their
views of the question empha-
sized the saving made by the naval
holiday which would liberate vast sums
for compensation purposes and defined
the plan as an attempt 70 restore the
service men to an economic par with
the government employees in civil
service. ship-yards and similar war
time occupations.

4s-HoUR BILL NEXT WEEK.
Interest in Matter Developing in
Rhode Island.

Providence, r. l.. March ll.--An-
nouncement that the Rhode Island
legislature would vote next Wednesday
on the 4S-hour week issue for workers
was the chief development early to-
day bearing on the textile strike sitns-
tion in this state. A bill introduced,
yesterday calling for a minimum Of
4S hours week and nine hour day
for women and children under 10, was
placed directly on the calendar with
out reference TO a committee.
Richard B. Comstock, a Providence
attorney associated with the manu-
featuring interests, asserted to-day
that to adopt a 4S-hour for Rhode Is
land alone, ''at time when 43 states
of the union have laws providing a
maximum working hour week of more
than As hours for women and children
in industry, would be suicidal"
Massachusetts, Mr.. Comstoek said,
was the only state where the cotton
industry predominates that operates
under a 4S.hour law.
