MANY MINERS ARE
 GETTING BENEFITS
Over Ten Million Paid Out in
 Compensation Claims

Pittsburgh, Feb. 1.-Nearly 5oo, thracite region of Pennsylvania in the last five years, according to liar ry A. Mackey, chairman of the state workmen's compensation board.

 These mortalities represent fully 30 per cent of all the deaths caused by industrial accidents in the entire state, MT. Mackey declared. Luzerne county, with 69 mines, led with 1,404 deaths, while Lackawanna, with 49 was second with S15 deaths, and Schuylkill, with 37 mines, close third with sol deaths.
 As a result of these deaths, com pensation totaling $10,661,04S was awarded to the dependent widows and children of the miners killed in the course of their employment. In ad. dition to these death awards, large sums were awarded in compensatiin for the loss of eyes, arms, hands, legs and feet.
 Three hundred thousand men of these ten counties have been returned to their work with promptness after injury, due to the efficient medical care that has been furnished them un- der the provisions of the law, at the hands of the employer. according to Mir. Mackey, who added that the an- thracite coal regions of Pennsylvania and the attitude of all parties con- cerned toward the compensation law demonstrates the fact that mans serv- ice is the most important work of life.'

ASK RECEIVERSHIP
 IN LOCOMOBILE co.
Bridgeport Automobile Company is in Financial Difficulties Duo
 to Obligations.

Hartford. Feb. IA receivership for the Locomobile Co. of Bridgeport was applied for in papers filed with Judge Edwin $. Thomas of the U. s district court at his office here today. This action was taken, it was stated as step towards reorganization of the company. The company and the various creditor interests were repre- scented by attorneys of New Yory city and Bridgeport, and the proceedings were by agreement.
 It is reported in the application that the interests of banks and mer- chandise creditors as we'll as stock holders can be best served through a reorganization through receiver ship"
 It is further claimed in the applica- ton that the company is doing a con- siderable volume of business and has about half million dollars in cash on deposit.
 Elmer H. Havens president of the Locomobile Co. in a statement is- sued at Bridgeport with an announce ment of the application said in part:
 'The banking and merchandise in terests and the present officials of the Locomobie Go. are in agreement that a receivership is the best solution to the problems of the company. It is natural step toward proper re- organization.
 Last fall when the Locomobile Co. terminated contract with the Hare's Motors Inc. under which the latter had operated the Locomobile Companys business, the plan was heavily obli- gated in bank loans and merchandise bills. While plans were then under way for q reccivership, it was hoped that this step might be averted and ! reorganization effected"

Greenwood is doing something that
Union might follow with good results.
The city Of Greenwood is planting
shrubs, ornamental flowers and, in
general, carrying out plan to beau
tify the city. Laurens has already
rut across sucn campaign, and those
who had occasion to pass through Lau-
lrns last summer could not help not
ing the results-fowers and shrubs
everywhere. There are many Union
reople who have heretofore planted
towers in their yards. But there are
many uncultivated vacant spots with
in the city limits that might be used
TO increase the attractiveness of the
community. The civic league aided
by the city authorities and by public
spirited citizens, could work wonders
ia one season, if the matter should
be pressed.

Japan Third in
Merchant Shipping

Toxic, Nov. 3.-Discussihg the fig
ures of Lloyd's Shipping Register
showing that in the amount of mer-
cantile marine tonnage Japan is third
among the nations, being surpassed
only by the United Kingdom and the
United States, the Oriental Econo-
mist, a Japanese commercial month
ly, says the chief cause of the en-
pire's development in this line has
been the protection and assistance af-
forded by the government and the
three wars in which Japan has been
engaged in the last 25 years.
1.-The protection of the government
to the shipping trade of the country
dates as far back as 1872" says the
paper. in 1875 the original COM
pany was dissolved and new one
established. The Kyodo Unyu Kaisba
was established in 1885, and in the
same year the two companies were
amalgamated and the present Nippon
The government guaranteed the new
company payment of 8 percend divi-
dend. This arrangement was later
changed into the grant of a fixed
amount Of annual subsidy.
"The termination of the Russ-Jap-
anese war saw further development
of Japan's shipping trade and vari-
Gus new lines were opened to many
ports in China, Korea and in Eastern
Russia. In 1909, the Osaka Shosen
Kasha opened new line to Tacoma
and in January 1910, the Togo Kisen
Kaisha reopened its line to South
America, suspended since 1908 under
an annual subsidy Of 100000 yen.
In 1912 the nanyo KiKsen Kaisha
opened new line to Sourabay under
an annual subsidy of 100000 yen.
"That the European war gave a
great impetus to Japan's shipping
trade will be still in the memory of
all. Another important factor has
oeen the plentiful supply of cheap la
Dor in the shape of seamen and Of
fuel. The course of events in recent
years, however, has shown that these
factors in favor of Japan have been
disappearing and Japan's shipping
trade in common with many other
industries is confronted with seri-
Gus crisis.
Considering that Japanese ships
'equire larger number of men in
the handling the comparative lowness
of the efficiency of the Japanese sea-
wages are comparatively high"

Every human phase runs to ex-
