Ohio Commission Appoints
Ddwson Administrative
Adviser
(By Ohio Labor News Service)


Columbus, O.-Appointment of Mar
shall Dawson of the U. S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics as administrative ad-
wiser to the Ohio Industrial Commits
sion was announced last week by
Chairman John w. Beall.
Familiar with the many intricate
problems confronting workmen's COM
pensation administration in the United
States through his work with the Fed
eral agency, Dawson's appointment
was made with a view to stream
lining the Ohio workmen's compensa-
ton system.
Dawson's services were secured
through negotiations conducted with
the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
through which the government agreed
to grant a years leave Of absence.
"Ohio will be Immediately bene-
fited," Chairman Beall said, "by
launching program of intervisita-
tion, which will give the Commission
and it's staff the stimulus Of the
knowledge and viewpoints of the out
standing specialists Of the federal and
state governments"
A request has been lodged with the
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to
send it's senior statistician, Max D..
Kossoris to Ohio to aid the state in
its many statistical problems.
''The Industrial Commission hopes"
Chairman Beall said, chat under the
arrangement it has made, some prog
ress may be made toward simplifying
it's procedure, so that the functions of
all departments having to do with the
investigation and payment of claims
may be speeded up.
"From his examinations Of all COM
pensation administrations, Mr.. Daw-
son is convinced that in some areas,
if desirable changes in law and admin
istration could be made, employees
could be paid higher benefits without
increasing the insurance cost to the
employers.
"The Ohio Industrial Commission"
the Chairman concluded, would like,
if possible, to pay benefits to work
ers equal to those paid in any other
state, without increasing the present
cost of insurance to employers, or haz-
arding the security Of the reserve for
paying pensions.
"If this effort is successful, it will
accrue to the best interests of the in
jured workers and to the widows and
orphans of men killed in industry"

Immediufe Action
on Relief Problem
Demundedo of Sfufe
Metropolitan Bodies Become
lnsistent As Financial
Crises Grows
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(by ONO Labor News Service)
Columbus, O.-Although Governor
Bricker continued to insist last week
that he did not think a special session
of the General Assembly necessary
"at this time" to relieve the crisis
facing metropolitan areas in the care
of INDECENT and unemployables, the
pressure for a recall of the Legisla-
ture continued to grow.
In Cleveland to fill speaking en-
gagement and receive first-hand in
formation on the crisis in that city
and Cuyahoga county, Governor
Bricker admitted that it was impos-
Sble to forecast how conditions
would change before the first Of the
year.
Capitol observers believe that the
Legislature will be recalled at least
shortly after the first of the year, at
which time the condition Of state
finances will be definitely known and
an additional relief program mapped
out to coincide with the Governors
repeated pledge of "no new taxes"
Cleveland City Council has urged
the Governor to call special session
to provide relief funds there is a
crisis which has resulted in $500
needy being dropped from relief
rolls and the possible necessity of al
locating 100000 remaining for the
balance Of the year to disaster"
fund to be spent only in cases of ex-
treme emergency.
Two hundred civic, labor, business
and political leaders later drafted
resolution calling on the Governor to
call special session of the Legisla-
ture at once to provide additional
funds for the balance of 1889, describ-
ing that action as imperative to pre-
vent unnecessary sufferings and hard
ship among relief clients of metro
politan Cleveland"
The City of Toledo has been with
out relief funds since September,
while Columbus faces a relief fund
deficit of approximately $27O,00O in
1910.
Prior to the November election, the
relief situation was confined almost
solely to larger cities of the state, but
state aid is now reported necessary
in a number of less populated cities
and countries.
The Columbus Federation of Labor
last week unanimously adopted a mo-
ton requesting the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor to resume its efforts
to have Governor Bricker recall the
General Assembly to appropriate ad-
ditional money for relief.
Latest developments in the relief
situation included meeting in Gov
ernor Bricker's office Monday, Novem-
Der 20 of a delegation Of Cleveland
officials and legislative leaders.
Attending the conference were Will
liam McCulloch, Piqua, Speaker of the
House of Representatives.; j. Harry
Coshocton, House majority
floor leader; Senator Frank E. White
more, Akron, majority floor leader in
the Senate; Lieutenant Governor Paul
M. Herbert, Columbus; Representa-
tive r. X. Shaw, Madison county,
chairman of the House Finance Com
mittee, and Senator Lawrence Kane,
chairman of the Senate
Relief Committee.
Governor Bricker also announced
that he expected Attorney General
Thomas J. Herbert to rule that Cleve-

"Whate Read 1t to me"
 His voice rose and fell. When he had finished the article, they discussed it, laughing and wonder ing. More silence. Marian must have dozed of because the next thing she knew a game of cribbage was in progress across the hall. Almost every evening Dan and Dolly played three games out of five for a dime. They fought every inch of the way, gaily quarreling, making much of each small vic- tory.
 You fell into my trap" Dan would say. T thought you would, See--that gives me six points,"
 "You,re a robber and @ beast" " Dolly would return with pretended rage. How did l know you had another jackp" Often they were still playing when Marian went to bed. It was nice for both of them. They had both loved Dams brother, they often talked about him, remembering small things, missing him together.
 
 Marian went to bed. Her nerves were ragged. Restlessly, she tossed and turned. She wished that Dan would finish his game and come home. It was comforting to have him near. In the darkened room, all the doubts and fears of the day magnified themselves, stood out like italicized blurhs against the back drop of tomorrow and all the tomor- rows. Ever since going into the bus mess world she had seen the tragedy of the older girls, those past 30, as they were replaced by youth. Somehow she had never taken the lesson to herself. She was the ex- ception that proved the rule. G. F. was her friend as well as em- ployer, she was safe.
 Thirty had seemed so far away, 10 years, four, one Her 30th birthday, that line over which the business girl stepped from the glamorous age to the veteran class, had passed uneventfully. And now she was 32-

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
FronkIin Hos His Own Famous American Series

WHEN someone-not a philate-
 W list - nominated Benjamin Franklin for the U. S. Famous Americans" series to be issued next year, Postmaster General James A. Farley retaliated with a few facts concerning the tribute stamps have paid to the father of the American postal system. '.
 With the possible exception of Washington, Franklin has ap- peared on more special postage stamps than any other individual In the nations history. When the first U. S. adhesive postage stamps were issued in 1847, Franklin ap- peared on the 5-cent value, Wash- ington on the i0-cent. Since that time, Franklin has been honored by 8 additional stamps, has been continuously on current postage series up 10 and including the M- cent value of the 1888 presidential series.
 Franklin appeared three times in the series of 1861; was on each of nine departmental stamps in 1873; appeared five times in series of 1912; four In 1914 and twice in 1918. Single Franklin stamps were issued in i847, 1851, 1869, 1870, 1890, 1894, 1902. 1908, 1919, 1922, 1898.
 First-day sales of the Franklin ls.cent of the presidential series exceeded similar sales of any other stamp of the series, the postmaster general declared.
 Franklin is shown above on the U. s. 1-cent green, postage series of i902.03. ~

CHAPTER VII

Marian changed her office garb to e house coat and prepared dinner. It wasn't so bad, this getting dinner after a hard day, since Dolly could be counted on to wash the dishes. Dolly cared for the apartment as If it were her own, doing many things to make it comfortable, polishing silver, putting fresh linen on the bed, washing the curtains frequent ly.
 Dan and Marian dined In silence, not & companionable silence, but one in which their two minds wan dered down more or less pleasant paths of their own, the paths sel- dom touching. After dinner, Dan rinsed and stacked the dishes while Marian prepared for her regular evening tasks. The touch of white pique at her throat must be washed and ironed, stockings and gloves must be laundered. Marian never left one detail of her wardrobe to chance. The garments to be worn the following day were gone over each ngiht brushed, mended, made ready.
 AS she worked, Dan roamed about the living room. He glanced at the paper, throwing 1t down to stare from the window. It crossed Marian,s mind that she and Dan never went out together. And no one came to see them. With the exception of a few business &C., quaintances, they had no friends. Why? She frowned squeezing her hose in a foamy suds.
 Years ago their home had been the meeting place for the crowd. She herself had discouraged 1t finally. Too tired, too intent on the slippery ladder to success, After that she and Dan had gone to the movies occasionally. She couldn't remember when the last time had been.
 Dan had never complained when she objected to going out. He never left her alone. Marian had a moment of self-reproach. Dan was so socially inclined, he loved to dance, he loved people.
 Odd, the way she and Dan had dYifted apart. There had been such wealth of love at first, such ioy in their close companionship. Marian gave herself jerk, both literally and figureatively. Why should she indulge in sentimental twaddle? Long since, she had acc cepted things as they were. Was 1t because Of the two fears, Sally Blake and the other ever-present dreadp Were they unconsciously driving her to Dan for shelter2
 She twisted her soft lips. Dan was no haven, she had learned not to depend upon him years ago, She wished he wouldn't pace around the living room. Why didn't he settle down with e book?
 Finishing the washing, she sat down with a needle and thread. Two tiny snaps on her office dress needed tightening. Dan dropped to e chair by the table and shuffled e pack of cards. He laid out his favorite game. Marian wondered how many games of solitaire Dan had played In the past 10 years.
 Her needle was too large for the holes in the snaps, she pricked her finger, the slap-slap Of Dams cards beat on her nerves.
 For goodness sake, Dan," she

ELKS NOTES
By the Publicity Chairman

Last night at the regular Elks
card party there were only six tables
of cards in play-five of whist and
one of pinochle. Mrs. Frank Barnes
and M. o. Johnson won prizes for
high whist scores; consolation prizes
went to Mrs. Ole Gunderson and
Dave Wing, who won from Chas.
Benjamin the cut for tied scores.
(Somebody is going to get himself
a reputation as a very poor card
player-if he doesn't improved He
has received the consolation prize
for the last three Elks card parties!
Because of the small attendance,
the lunch which consisted of a
shrimp salad, crackers, and coffee,
followed by mints, was served by the
hostesses, Mrs. H. B. Thornquist and
Miss Sue Smith, at one long row OF
card tables, thus making for more
fun and sociability. After lunch
everyone joined in Penny Bingo

Value Alas. Products Not Gold, Silver
Dropped Nearly 7 Million During 1898

The declared value of products OF
Alaska shipped in 1898, not count.
ing gold and silver shipments. drop
ped a little more than six and three
quarter million dollars from the
preceding year. according to figures
released this week by James !
Connors, collector of customs for Al
aska.
Total value of inbound shipments
from the United States and foreign
countries aggregated s42.851, 466. as
compared with S43,O83.998 during
1897. These figures do not include a
substantial amount Of merchandise
shipped by parcel-post to Alaska. to
cover which, no statistics are avail
able.
The balance of trade in favor OF
Alaska amounted to S35. 409,346, as
compared with s37883,185 for 1897
Shipments Of gold from Alaska to
the United States during the cal
endar year 1898 we're the largest
reported since calculations were COM
menced by this office in 1904. Gold
shipments, including gold shipped
by mail, aggregated SCI. 321,442. as
compared with s17776, 401 in 1897.
or an increase of $3,545.O41
Huge Platinum Shipments
Reports covering platinum ship
ments, including shipments by mail,
were also the largest in the history
of Alaska, and totaled 48,012 ounces
valued by the shippers at $1,764,554
It should be stated, however. that
part of the platinum above shown
was mined during the latter part Of
1897, but statistics covering such
shipments did not reach the collector
until this year.
Copper ore shipments from Alaska
during 1898 were valued at $3,792,-
367, as compared with $685. 38
during the preceding year. 1t is ex-
pected that copper ore shipments in
future years, unless new deposits
are developed. will be of minor i'm
pOrtance. The last remaining pro-
Queer of the famed Kennecott group
of copper properties in Alaska has
ceased production, according to pub
lished reports.
Total declared value of all fish
and fish products shipped from Al
aska during 1888 was $44,932. $50
as compared with 49,543,808 for
1897, or a decrease in value of $4,-
610,828. While the quantity of can
ned salmon shipped in 1898 showed
an increase of 22,95O,434 pounds,
yet the declared value thereof
showed a decrease of S3,392,4O
A satisfactory increase in passen-
ger travel from the continental IN
tied States and Canada to Alaska, is
noted in the figures for 1898. Dur
ing the year a total of $685. per-
sons arrived at ports in Alaska as
compared with 36,O43 for the pre-
ceding year.
Statistics regarding airplane traY-

AIRPLANEs AND DoGsLEDs

IN the school News" reports this
month from rural schools, states the
Alaska School Bulletin, are several
interesting items pertaining to air
service in remote sections of Alaska.
The teacher at Ruby reports the fol-
lowing:
The first mail planes to land
on the Yukon River this year are
here. We had five planes on the ice
today, November %.
The older boys earn money
helping the pilots. They take sup
plies of gas out by dogsled and help
the pilots to fix their planes for the
night, blocking up the skis, etc.
They also transport mail and pass
engers by dogsled back across the
river to town, a distance of one
mile.
The boys staked out the P A. A.
landing field over on the other side
of the river where the ice is thick
er by chopping through the ice at
. SO foot intervals on either side OF
the runway and sticking spruce trees
In the holes. When a small plane
landed on this side where the ice is
only six inches thick, we placed a
big NO made by spruce boughs in
the snow by the plane SO that P. A.
A. ships would use the runway pre-
pared for them on the other side.
Their ships are heavier and require
at least eight inches of ice for safe
landing"
Bethel reports.
Seven planes, two of which were
the large Pilgrims, were lined up
Friday evening, December 9, in front
of the town on the ice of the Kus-
kokwim River Bethel is proud of the
fact that it is such an important
center of Alaska aviation. During
the summer, the wheel planes use

the hydroplanes use the wide Kusk-
