From the moment the first witness
is sworn until adjournment of the
hearing is announced she never takes
her eyes off the particular senator
who Is examining. She does not cha.
with her neighbors, as many of the
other women do. And as soon as the
hearing ends she disappears.
Then there are half dozen other
women who make copious notes of
the testimony. although for what
purpose nobody seems to Know. There
also is what has come to be dcslgua.-
ed as the jury This is a dozen
women, who apparently SNOW each

EXPLAINS FIGHT ON BILL.
Chamber of Commerce Official Says
Home Rule Is Ignored.

Opposing the Fitzgerald bill pro-
viding for monopolistfc workmen's
compensation insur: zee for the Dis
trict Of Columbia, Elliot II. Goodwin,
resident vice president of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States,
has written letter to the House Dis
trict committee declaring the bill
completely ignores the principle of
HON rule for which the citizens OF
Washington have been fighting so
long"
He charged that none of the bust.
ness mems associations or self-insur-
ers in Washington were consulted"
These associations he names as the
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, the Board Of Trade and the
Chamber of Commerce, which, he
points out. have all gone on record
against the bill.
Reasons for the opposition of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States to the Fitzgerald bill are
given by Mr.. Goodwin, who empha-
sizes the fact that the national
chamber has "at no time opposed the
principle of workmen's compensation
and is not doing so now" The ma
tional chamber, he declares, Is not
Directing to any feature of the bill
excepting the monopolistic provisions
which would put the government in
the insurance business. to the ex-
c!usion Of all types of private in.
surance carriers as well as SELF
insurers"
After reviewing the DEVELOPMENT
of the Idea of workmen's compensa-
ton, Mr.. Goodwin says, 1.-THE realiza.
ton that most accidents are attri-
butable to the inherent hazards of
industry led to the conclusion that
their naturalization should be treat
ed as one Of the costs of doing BUSH
ness. This resulted in the enactment
of 'workmen's compensation legisla.
ton. Since the fundamental idea Is
to make the individual employer or
industry indemnify employees for in
dustrial accidents in accordance with
a definite schedule. the theory UNDER
lying 1t Is a departure from that
governing the old system of employ
er's liability Forty-two states OF
the Union have already enacted such
legislation. thirty-eight OF which
provide that insurance in some form
must be carried" ..
Mr.. Goodwin quotes experts to re-
flute statements in the hearing that

would save business men 80 per cent,
Neither are the costs quoted by pro-
ponents comparable to those Of self
insurers, or policy holders in mutual
or stock insurance companies, be-
cause the service which goes with the
insurance contract Is not the same.
according to Mr.. Goodwin.

TOURISTS LIKE THE
DELTA CAMP GROUNDS

From all points of the compass, from
every section of the United States and
also from adjoining countries, the an,
nual crowds of tourists are finding
their way to our land of sunshine
and song" where they may enjoy the
cool mountain breezes and Gods great
Out-of-dOors as they roam at will
through froest and glade.
Up to the present time, 70 cars
have been registered at the Delta
Auto park and $3222 in fees have
been collected by caretaker Jones, 75c
of which was used for local expense.
Mr.. Jones has given the buildings and
grounds painstaking care which has
been appreciated by the tourists.
The building is furnished with
electricity for lighting and ironing,
and a range and table. Hot and cold
water is piped in the building and
stationary tubs. and basin and spray
baths add greatly to the comfort of
our tourist guests. The Womans club
recently purchased an electric iron
which is at the disposal of the tour
lists
A glance through the register dis
closes the fact that the majority of
the tourists are coming from Californ-
ia and western states, many of them
being eastward bound. A few notes
of comments written on the walls OF
the building by appreciative tourists
who have enjoyed the comforts of the
camp might be of interest:
Best camp on trip of 5000 miles.
Caretaker so accommodating every
body likes him" w. H. Prior of Tam
pa, Florida, writes: The best camp
we've found in IS months on the
road, and have been in Is states. Big
ad for Delta" Another from a tourist
who made the trip from the Canadian
line to San Antonio, Texas: This
camp ground can't be beat" From a
Californian This camp greatly ap-
preciated by tourists. Everything so
convenient Caretaker so pleasant -
And still another note of appreciation
chosen from many found there. This
was pritten by another Californian,
Cal Hobbs: I'VE appreciate your
hospitality. A wonderful caretaker,
