Columbus, Ohio-Within one week
after the last body had been recovered
from the wreckage of the Willow
Grove Mine of the Hanna Coal Com
pany, near st. Clairsville, Belmont
County, where 72 miners lost their
lives, all death claims had been passed
upon by the Ohio Industrial Commits
sion, and allowed. The aggregate
amount of these claims is more than
half million dollars.
The Willow Grove disaster ranks as
the second largest catastrophe since
the inception of the Workmen's Com
pensation Law, 26 years ago. The
largest was the Millfield Mine dis
aster at the Sunday Greek Coal Com
pany's mine in Athens County in 1880,
when 83 miners lost their lives. More
than 100000 was paid out in claims
as result of the Millfield disaster.
Third largest in the history of the
fund was the Cleveland Clinic fire in
1929, when 40 persons lost their lives
and many suffered permanent in
juries.
The Workmen's Compensation Fund
has what is known as a catastrophe
fund, out of which all claims are paid
for catastrophes such as this. This
fund, at the last statement, had a
balance of $3,3O0,OOO. The fund is
created by setting aside two per cent
of the premium paid by employers.
Whenever there are three or more
deaths from one accident and the
death claims amount to $4,000 or
more, claims are paid from the ca
tastrophe fund. Claims under SIS, 1000
are charged to the experience of the
employer.
E. I. Evans, actuary Of the fund,
who has been with the department
during the three great catastrophes
experienced by the Ohio fund, said the
records would disclose that a great
many of the men who lost their lives
at the Willow Grove disaster were
married men with families and that
the fund would be great boon to the
survivors. In the Millfeld disaster
many of the men killed were younger
men and were unmarried. In case
the victims had no dependents, the
state was only obliged to pay their
funeral expenses.
''This experience" said Mr.. Evans,
demonstrates the wisdom and far
sighted vision of the men who were
responsible for the setting up of the
Ohio Workmen's Compensation Fund.
Under the old order of things such an
explosion would have wrecked any
company. The property loss alone is
very great, and added to this the liza
bility for loss of life would have
washed up most any company finan-
cially.
"In the old days miner assumed
the risk of losing his life when he

Approving Norton Bill To
Amend Labor Act, A.F.L.
Urges Speedy Enactment
American Federation of Labor Immediately Pledges Its
Support-Four Amendments Approved by House
Labor Commttee-Protect Craft Rights.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). = A
prompt pledge of American Fedora
tion of Labor support followed intro
duction of bill to amend the National
Labor Relations Act, offered by Rep
resentative Mary T. Norton Of New
Jersey, chairman of the House Labor
Committee.
The Norton bill contains four
amendments, which were described by
President William Green of the A. F.
of l.. as "clear, straightforward and
constructive"
The four amendments were ap-
proved by the House Labor Commit
tee, which instructed Chairman Nor
ton to use all possible parliamentary
procedure to have them considered.
The committee plans to obtain direct
floor consideration of the amendments
without sending them through the
rules committee.
Prompt Passage Asked
This move is designed to circum-
vent the hostile rules committee and
head off IL drastic amendments pro-
posed by the Smith N. L. R. B. inves-
tigating committee. The m i t h
amendments are opposed by the A. F.
of L. and C. 10.
A. F. of L. approval of the Norton
bill was given in a statement by Pres
ident Green, who declared the fedora
tion will press for the bills prompt
enactment by Congress-" He went on
to outline the provisions of the
amendments in the bill and to COM
ment on them, as follows:
81. The bill would increase the
membership of the board from three
to five by the appointment of two adj
ditional members by the President.
While it would be preferable to wipe
out the existing board entirely and
have five new members, this amend

the board and inevitably result in bet
ter and fairer administration. 1t is,
therefore, acceptable to the American
Federation of Labor.
Craft Rights Protected
"2. The bill provides that in any
case where the majority of employees
of particular craft so decide, the
board shall designate such craft as a
unit appropriate for the purpose of
collective bargaining This amend
ment embodies the language of the
New York State Lbaor Relations Act
and the substance of the Federal Rail
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1940-04-12

way Labor Act. Both of these laws
have operated successfully. The
amendment will not bar industrial
unions. 1t merely gives the workers
the right to decide whether they want
craft, plant or industry-wide unit.
This is in accordance with the letter
and the spirit of the act.
''The present board has ignored the
wishes of the workers in many cases
and trampled rough-shod on their
rights. The amendment permits the
workers to choose their own collective
bargaining representative instead of
having such representatives imposed
upon them by a federal board. That
is why this amendment is vitality
necessary.
Petition Right Granted
"3. The third amendment gives
employers the right to petition the
board for an election when they are
caught in the middle of dispute be-
tween contesting unions. This is only
fair.
a. The final amendment provides
that collective bargaining contracts,
when entered into, shall remain in
force for at least a year.
"The American Federation is Labor
firmly believes these amendments in
corporated in the Norton bill will pro-
vide a cure for the maladministration
of the act from which the entire ma
tion has suffered. In no way does it
weaken or impair the fundamental
principles of the act.
eve, therefore, call upon all of our
affiliated organizations throughout the
country, to register their support of
this measure"
