States, where he studied the agricul-
tural situation, reported on the Ameri-
can system of gathering Agricultural

BOSSES TOOLSPUT
UP FRAUD AS new
COMP ENSATION II
L a Dor and Scientists
Prepare to Fight
Especial to The Daily Worker.)


NEW YORK, March s1.-Heaith
Commissioner Frank ]. Monaghan of
New York City, it was announced to-
I day by the workers health bureau,
has filed with the legislature at Alba.
my protest against the employers
bill which would rob workers of COM
pensation benefits. and a brief in
favor of the four amendments to the
compensation law.
According to the workers health
bureau, the compensation law fight
centers about the attempt of the en-
ployers to put thru provisions which
are extremely dangerous to labor,
which have no precedent in other
parts of the New York law or in anyvl
other law in the country, and which
would nullify the purpose of com
pensation."
The fight began in January when
! four amendments to the occupational
disease section of the compensation
law were introduced with the backing
Of the State Federation of Labor. These
amendments provided compensation
for poisoning by benzol, gasoline
naphtha, benzine; for skin irritations,
and for silicosis.
"Labor's silicosis BILL" statement
by the workers health bureau de-
clares, drew the fire of New York
employers at once. Silicosis is dead
ly lung disease caused by breathing
silica or quartz dust. Particles of the
dust get into the. lungs and destroy
them. This often leads to tuberculosis.
Silicosis affects quarry workers, stone
cutters, stone masons, rock drillers,
miners, marble workers, tunnel work
ers, potters, sand blasters, grinders.
polishers, buffers and workers in 81
milar trades.
Disease and death from silicosis
have been so widespread that labor
organizations and physicians have
urged that silicosis be compensated as
a distinct occupational hazard. A bill
to that effect was introduced last year
in New York but failed to pass. An
other bill was introduced this year,
and was at once met with a counter
bill representing the interests Of en-
ployers."
The employers bill, known as the
Miller-Truman bill, contains the fol
lowing dangerous provisions:
z 1. 1t grants compensation for sill
COSTS only in a restricted number Of
trades listed in the bill and leaves out
all factory workers except potters,
thus discriminating against thousands
of workers entitled to compensation
for silicosis.
2. 1t provides that a worker must
be employed for five years continuous
ly in one of the Listed trades before
he can claim compensation for sill
COSTS. A worker cannot claim COM
pensation if injured before the five
years are up.
3. In order to prevent workers
from getting compensation employers
may discharge or suspend workers
whom they do not consider healthy. !,
Workers once refused employment or
discharged may never again claim
compensation for silicosis
In spite of the unanimous opposi-
ton of scientists and organized labor,
the labor and industry committee re-
commended favorable action on the
Miller-Truman bill-and killed all Ia
bors' occupational disease amend
ments.

WORSE PLACES THAN ALASKA

Alaskans are not troubled with cy- clones, lightning or tornadoes, prairie fires and other disasters. Life swings along easily and with little care or trouble. There are lots worse places in this old world than Seward, and it is worth thinking about when you feel an urge to go outside. Take Punta Arenas, South America, for instance. The residents of this town seldom see good day, and cold raw winds and torrential rains are experienced during our winter months, and bitter cold with heavy snow flurries during our fine summer months. Yet many per sons have lived the brief span of their existence here, knowing of no better place and desiring none. Contentment with ones surroundings goes far to make conditions ideal.

HEAVY TOURIST TRAVEL

The local steamship companies de- clare that this will be the banner year for tourists, as already inquiries are swamping the Seattle offices. Many of these parties will come from the Middle States, the salt water and a steamship voyage appealing to them as much as the scenery. Every tourist who goes back disappointed is knock for Alaska. Therefore it is important that we arrange their itinerary so they see as much of the country as possi- ble. Communities endeavoring to keep tourists in one section only are making a mistake. It is far better to allow and even to encourage them to see as much of the country as they can in the short time here.
 The Alaska railroad has prepared to handle all traffic eXpeditiously and Mckinley Park will be valuable as set to the Interior country as many new roads and trails have been built, and camps and hotels arranged.

WESTWARD DEVELOPING

That the district westward from Se- ward is developing slowly but steadily is shown by the numerous patents for homesteads emanating from Homer and Seldovia district, and the many new business firms entering the field at Kodiak Seldovia especially has grown into fair-sized town during the past year, several new business houses and fisheries concerns having built there. The harbor at Seldovia is we'll nigh perfect for sheltering fish ing craft, and the run of herring is as large and as certain as at any oth- CT point on the coast.
 Kodiak, owing to the reported erec- ton of the large cold storage plant there, has grown steadily, and promis- es to be one, of the larger towns of the division before the year ends. There is no doubt but that Kodiak will incorporate as village if the cold storage is erected, in fact, it has population enough to incorporate now in case it desired to do so. The town has number of fine stores, several restaurants, good hotels, a branch of the Standard Oil plant, and a deputy collector of customs office. The har- bor is one of the best on the coast, and the climate hard to beat in any part of Alaska.
 At Kanatak the citizens are marking time awaiting the arrival of the first oil we'll. In case oil is struck there Kanatak will become one of the best towns on the coast, and will witness a stampede which will make that of '98 tame i'll comparison.
 Unalaska is also progressing stead fly. and has fine harbor, many for eign ships calling there on their way to and from the Orient. Unga and Akutan are large fishing centers with a steady population. But neither have the advantages that the towns to the eastward have, that or regular week ly transportation.
 All the large district to the west ward is ideal for stock growing and for fox raising. Each year sees more new enterprises. The country is prac- ticaIly self-supporting in the meat line, and there is no reason why it should not raise all vegetables necessary. as at every point touched by the chamber of commerce delegation last summer fine gardens were raised.

RESTRAIN OF THE LAW

It used to be said that only rogues feel the restraint of the law. Of late years so many laws have been enacted that not only rogues but business men and others feel the laws more heavily than do the rogues. At the present time we have a multiplicity of laws of the various states emulating records of previous years, the coming genera tion will be so law-ridden that there must be an upheaval of public senti- ment before man becomes a slave 10 his veneration for the law, as former ly eXemplified for his protection.
 The lawmakers are turning out sev- eral dozen laws each session of the legislature. A part of them are laws taxing property and persons hitherto untouched. We have laws regulating our conduct when we are born, laws regulating Us when living and go to our grave and rot under laws designed to protect our bones. The doctor, the baker and the candlestick maker all are regulated. The citizen and his off spring are controlled by laws designed 10 compel the youngster to secure an education, and the bride and groom are married by law, live by law, and are divorced by law.
 For many years the American peo- pie lived without any laws but those made by themselves with gun or sword. Later they elected a body of men to represent them and control the territories and the states and these men added new laws to the statute books each year until they became burdensome. The result was a migra- tion to home farther west, where the law had not yet entered, and here the hardy pioneers again made their home, only to be driven out again and again by encroaching civilization Today there is no frontier left, with the pos sible exception of Alaska, and this Ter ritory is so covered by statutes as to be nearly unendurable to many
 If our forefathers raised large fam flies and developed the nation with no laws but the Golden Rule, it would appear that their progeny could do the same Not only are the laws radical, but many judges anxious for publicity give bizarre sentences not in the pe- nal code to offenders brought before them.
 Within few more years man can neither eat, breathe nor think, except by vote. A sweeping repeal of a large number of useless statutes would be beneficial, but legislators forget they are on the books and make more laws to accompany them.
