juries arising from occupational dis
eases is justified under the law and
intent of Congress"
Controller McCarl. on the contrary,
had held in his decision that the term
personal injury" as included in the
act of Congress could only be inter
preted as an injury which could be
traced to some definite injury, deter
minable by place and hour. Under
this strict Interpretation of the law
the compensation commission pro-
tested that the federal compensation
act for government employees was
thus rendered far less effective and
helpful than the act of several states.
The compensation commission. not
satisfied with the controllers deci-
sion, took two different tracks to rem
edy the situation. They went to Con-
gress, where they conferred with
members Of the judiciary committees
of the House and Senate to see if
amendatory legislation could be
passed On the other hand, the chair
man of the commission went to Pres
ident Harding personally with plea
in behalf of the government employe.
The decision from the Department of
Justice today was said by the COM
mission to have obviated the neces-
slty for remedial legislation.

today In a statement by Daniel Will

sented at hearings before the COM

Mr.. Willard took exception. how
ever, to some features of the tenta-
tive consolidation plans, suggesting
among other things that the New.
York. New Haven and Hartford
should not be included with the B.
& o. The New Haven, he said. and
all Of the other roads In New Eng

A somewhat similar regional con-
solidation should be made TO include
all the railroads in the Michigan penin-

solidated corporations should be given
Independent right to interchange with
the east and vest trunk lines on their

Mr.. Willard likewise suggested that
the coal railroads I'm the Chesapeake
region. including the Chesapeake and
Ohio. Norfolk and Western and Vir-
ginian. should be left in independent
groups and not attached to any of the
great trunk line systems
lf these propositions in relation to
the New England region and the coal

Willard said. and "a proper and econ

investment could be mutually agreed
upon between ownerships." the Balti-

The appeal Is the result of the

of speculation. said the deputy COM
missioner.
The manipulation of fictitious

so much attention has been given

an impression that the balance Of
the territory is favorable. It is
therefore opportune to point out
that the government condition of

poor outlook. Therefore, any set

hours trading on the stock ex-
change today.
After an outburst of strength in
railroad shares, accompanied by ad.
vances in other directions, drive
was made against the oil group,
forcing various stocks to new low
prices on this movement. Selling
was influenced by rumors of further
Impending price cuts and by state
ments that the oil industry is suf-
fering from production. How
ever, the ability of the general list
to hold firm in face of this un-
settling factor suggested the de-
termination of large interests to
bring the market into higher terri.

resulting in a 2-point loss in both

Steel stocks, especially those OF
the independent companies, made a
good showing, led by Crucible and

this group was stimulated by the
optimistic statement issued by

on the present business situation
Mr.. Schwab said that his plants
and all other steel mills are work

are entering into a period of bust
