Used effort to spend less and but

the overcoat must go in hook for

Yuletide attacks upon our cash

looks tough and hard to solve.
the first day starts us wondering,
how we can keep our stern re-

The only choice we've left to

ing him the woman grabbed his hat
from his head and told him that when
he entered a home in Virginia he
should take off his hat, and that IL he
did not have politeness enough that
she would do it for him.
Then when the agents started to
search the house, IL Is alleged that the
woman and her five daughters gave
the prohibition agents fight and won
out. One of the agents. II Is said. was
chased through the cornfield by Ole
of the daughters armed with q butcher

two agents met at the Aqueduct bridge,

FEDERAL
EMPLOYEES
WAGE ACT
Suggest Limiting Awards to Dis.
abIed Workers at $50 to
500 a Month.

Congress should pass a law COM
pelling employers in the District
of Columbia to provide for conf
the performance Of their duties. ac-
cording to John ]. Keegan, chair
man. and Charles H. Verrill. COM
missioner. of the United States EN-
ployes' Compensation Commission.
Wage Compensation.
"Forty-three States, together with
Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico, now
have workmen's compensation laws,
and 1t would appear that workmen In
the District of Columbia should have
some method provided for recoN ering
compensation when injured in their
employment" they say.
1T Is true that Washington Is not
largely an Industrial community, but
compensation Ior Industrial injuries Is
an individual matter, and the indi-
yidual's need when injured Is quite rs
great whether he is injured in a haz-
ardous or in a comparatively non
hazardous employment. Whether
workmen's compensation act for the
District of Columbia should be admin
fstered by this commission or by some
suitable new agency to be created for
to decide. 1t may be pointed out, how
ever, that the questions with which
the compensation commission must
deal are Of a technical nature, such DIS
can be handled only by those familiar
with compensation experience ana
presidents. A workmen's compensa-
ton law for the District should, 1t is
believed. be a law providing for COM
pulsory insurance in a fund established
by the law.
500 Proposed rs Limit.
They will also recommend to Con-
gress that the present Federal COM
pensation act be amended 30 that the
monthly compensation of disabled en-
ployes shall be not more than 500 Eor
less than $50, unless the employees
shall be the fun amount of his pay.
This change Is suggested because
of the high cost Of living, they say.
The present maximum compensation
is $66.67 q month and the minimum
is $3.50. This Is not considered suf-
ficient to take care of an employe when
he Is disabled. In fact they point out,
when an employee is disabled he needs
more money than he would in perfect
health, because there are many ex.
penses that he would not have had
he been in good health.
A recommendation also will be made
for the employment of safety engi-
neer for the commission to cooperate
with safety engineers Of navy yards
and Government arsenals. Under
the present system various Govern
ment departments and independent
establishments, especially those en-
gagged In manufacturing operations,
are, and must continue to be, more
or less actively engaged In studying
the causes Of injury and attempting
to adopt safety measures to prevent
their recurrence.
This work is carried on independent
ly, and the results of one survey are
entirely lost to other departments. II
q safety engineer were employed, he
could work with every department
and independent establishment the
chairman and commissioner believe
and coordinate the work thereby saw
ing the Government much money.
