Are Drafted.

The New Jersey State Chamber Of
Commerce is sponsoring important
amendments to the worl1men's compen-
sstion act. -Four bills carrying these
amendments have been introduced by
Assemblyman Hershfield of Passaic
county this week.
The requirement Of medical services

these bills beyond the present limits OF
$50 and twenty-eight days TO whatever
amount and period may be necessary to
cure and restore the injured to useful
ness.
The maximum amount OF the weekly
compensation Is raised from S12 to S18
and the minimum from Sc to SS a week.
Compensation for total and permanent
disability is made payable during such
disability instead OF as at present for
400 weeks. provision being made, how
ever, that In cases where the totally and
permanently disabled man has been re-
habilltated his compensation should he
scaled down.
Second injuries resulting in total and
permanent disability are to be compen-
sated as total and permanent disability
instead OF, as at present. as partial dis
ability, the difference to be paid from a
special fund to be created by a payment
Of 800 by employers in whose employ
ment fatal accidents occur in which no
dependents are left.
Nine occupational diseases are made
compensable under another bill, whereas
at present no occupational diseases are
recognized. The penalties for failure to
insure are made more severe by the third
bill. the fine being fixed as one of not less
t!ian $500 and not more than $1,000. and
a provision for imprisonment up to thirty
days In the discretion of the court being
added. The time within which accidents

COTTON RISES ON

Lack of Selling Pressure Also
Aids Markets Net Gain of
Is to % Points. :

Cotton futures advanced moderately
in yesterdays active short session. MAX
ing net gain of about Is to 25 points
under heavy pre-holiday short covering
and lack OF selling pressure. Most busl-
ness was local and outside evening up. as
many traders were unwilling to carry
commitments over the extended holiday,
which will keep the Exchange closed
until Tuesday morning. The final market
was steady. 8 to IS points higher than il
was on Friday.
The general situation embodied little
that was new. Week end statistics were
ignored. and but scant attention was
paid to developments in the South or in
dry goods markets. AS far as could be
learned spot conditions were unchanged.
Revised estimates from Fall River
placed total sales of print cloths at 120.-
600 pieces. Marshall Fields regular
weekly review of wholesale dry goods
conditions was less optimistic.
Bears mentioned the reported spread
OF strikes in New England textile mills.
but found they could do little with the
timent In other words, feeling was less
bearish and operators were beginning to
wake UP to the fact that the market, In
stead of being congested with long hold
ings. was really short.
The latter statement was borne out by
the fact that a prominent trader covered
about 10000 bales of cotton in the sec
ond hour of the session, which sent
March up TO 1876 and May to 17.06
cents a pound Selling. which came
largely from profit taking longs. New

sorbed. The market was never in any
danger Of slipping under Fridays close.

the list had opened to IL points better
The local market for spot cotton was
20 points net higher at 1890 cents a
pound for middling. No sales were re-
corded.

principal offerings. Bidding started In
brisk and remained on a keen COM

WHEAT AT HIGHEST
OF PRESENT MOVE
Prices Sag as Market Closes
With Considerable Holi-
day Evening Up.

CHICAGO. Feb. 11.-Highest prices on
the present upturn in the wheat market
were realized to-day. but a sag was
noted Just at the close. The resting
spots were CSC. to 1asc. higher. with
May at $1.s3 to $1.3S1s and July at
S1.17% TO $1.1S. Corn closed Ac. lower
to 14c. higher and oats finished un-
changed to &c. higher.
With double holiday ahead, there
was considerable evening up in the
wheat market. May sold at new high
on the present upturn and the average
for the day was higher. Reports of the
continued drought in the Southwest and
the fact that the forecast suggested no
moisture in Kansas. over night were
effective influences.
Corn and oats held in narrow limits,
with a general disposition to even up for
the holidays on the part OF the local ele-
ment. Buenos Aires corn closed 2@3c.
higher. but this had little effect here.
Oats were dull. with commission houses
fair sellers.
The provision market was dull, with
prices little changed.

The level of freight transportation
cost has been lowered per cent from
the high point reached during the war,
according to Director Parmlee of the
Bureau of Railway Economics.
Freight rates now are 20 per cent
above the prewar level. The computa-
tions show and further reductions dur
ing 1922 are predicted.
High freight rates are believed largely
responsible for continued high prices of
necessities and the slowness of business
to experience the long awaited postwar
revival.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
blames freight rates for the agricultural
depression which is affecting business
conditions in nearly every section.
Farmers complain that after paying
freight on cattle shipped to slaughter
houses they have margin Insufficient to
cover cost of fattening. In the wheat
belt there-is complaint that rates make
the crop Improbable. Petitions for rate
adjustments are pouring into the offices
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
from shippers in Western agricultural
States.
The commission for months has been
bringing pressure to bear on railroad
managers to reduce rates. A horizon
tai reduction is not asked. This could
be initiated by the Interstate Commerce
Commission These officials, however,
believe 1t better for railroad managers
to begin reductions. Under the law a
change upward or downward may be
posted by railroad on its own initia-
tive. The new rate then becomes ef-
fective within thirty days unless pro-
test Is made to the commission. In case
of protest the new rate Is held up pend
ing Investigation by the commission.
Thousands of changes in rates have
been made by the roads. One estimate
puts the total at nearly $1,000. The
changes, mostly downward, have to do
with the transportation of certain COM
nodities only between certain localities.
The reductions were intended as a level
Ing up of rates or readjustment to
bring them into proper proportion to
each other Where rate between cer-
tain points was considered so high that
it discouraged shipments it was reduced.
But no change was made in rates or
localities where shipments were being
made in reasonable volume.
The reductions thus far put into effect
are virtually railroad bargain counter
| offers. They are intended to tempt
shipments and to bring in busines to
| the roads where business is slack.
Rates on the necessities like vugeta-
bles and all kinds of food and clothing
have been reduced but little under this
bargain policy. Such shipments must
be made at any price.
