Legal Attacks on
Claims Board To
Be Heard June n

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-The Frank
lin County Court of Appeals has set
June 27 as the date for hearing two
suits attacking the Regional Claims
Boards of the Industrial Commission,
which were created by the 92nd Cen
eral Assembly by an amendment to the
workmen's compensation law advo-
Gated by the Ohio State Federation of
Labor.
The two suits are a mandamus
action to force the Industrial Com
mission instead Of the Canton Region
al Board to hear a claim filed for re-
hearing, and a writ of prohibition
which seeks to prevent the Industrial
Commission from assigning claims to
the four Regional Boards for hearing.
The suits were filed by r. r. Eur
mehly and w. S. "Red" Marshall, Co.
lumbus attorneys who have a large
practice before the Industrial Com
mission, and who seek to prevent the
hearing of claims for industrial COM
pensation in other cities by the
Regional Boards.
The Ohio State Federation of La
Dor has retained the services of At
torney Horace S. Keifer, Springfield,
to aid the attorney generals assist
ants assigned to defend the law and
the Industrial Commission.
In all probability the decision of the
Court of Appeals in the two suits will
be appealed to the Ohio Supreme
Court, which is in recess until Sep
tember.

Legislators Confer
On Relief Problem

Columbus, GA conference COM
mittee composed of members of the
Senate and House of Representatives
was appointed last week to study and
attempt to iron out differences in re-
lief programs for the balance of 1893,
which had been approved by the two
branches of the General Assembly.
Both House and Senate members
voiced their approval of mortgage
the-future" means of raising the
funds necessary for the balance of the
year,, but were at odds over the ex-
tent of the mortgaging process.
The House extended the utility ex-
else, beer, malt, wort and admission
taxes through 1914, while the Senate
would extend them only through 1910.
Other relief bills differ in many es-
sentials, necessitating a conference
committee to arbitrate the dispute. &

FARM TENANT

Can Now, Under Act of Con-
gress, Get Loans to
Purchase Land
$1,000 ALLOTTED KENT

AS one approach to the solution
of the farm tenant problem in the
United States, Congress has pass
ed the Bankhead-Jones Farm Ten
ant Act which provides loans to
assist a limited number of COM
petent tenants, share-croppers and
farm laborers to purchase their
own land. For this purpose Con-
gress appropriated $1O,OOO,OOO for
the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1887, and the Farm Security Ad-
ministration has been designated
to direct this program Funds
have been allotted to each state on
the basis Of its farm population
and the prevalence of tenancy, and
Of this amount S11, 900 has been al
located to Kent county, which is
the only county in Delaware that
will receive any Of this first allot-
ment. In the future, however, as
more federal funds become avail
able this project will include the
other two counties in the state
This program in Kent county will
be conducted under the supervision
of the Rural Rehabilitation Divi-
sion of the Farm Security Admin
istration, Of which B. c. Deputy is
state director, in cooperation with
a local committee including John
G. Tarburton, John NJ. Roe and
Harmon E. Coverdale, whose ap-
pointments have been officially ap-
proved by the Secretary Of Agri-
culture. County Agent Russell E.
Wilson has been appointed advis-
ory member of this committee by
authority Of the federal govern
ment. Citizens of the United
States who are farm tenants,
share-croppers, or farm laborers,
and others who obtain or recently
have obtained most of their income
from farming are eligible to apply
for these loans, but only a limited
number of applicants will be able
to secure loans this year. Pre-
ference will be given to married
persons and those having depend
ent families, to applicants who are
able to make down payment,
also to those who own livestock
and equipment necessary to carry

Although Sunday was officially

trappers took up their traps when
they made their rounds on Satur-

ending of the season on the inland

trappers who work several hun

marsh trappers believe that the
muskrats were simply not on the
inland marshes this year, having
migrated elsewhere before the
summer ended. It is known that
they do migrate from place to
