Move To Clean Out
Rucketeers In Ohio
Unscrupulous Lawyers Be-
fore industrial Commission
Face Disburment

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-A half
dozen Columbus lawyers practcing
before the State Industrial Commission
face disbarment proceedings before
the Franklin County Common Pleas
Court as a result of an investigation
and recommendation made by a Com
mittee of the Columbus Bar AsSocia-
ton.
The action results from an investi-
cation begun last June and carried on
by the Bar Committee in cooperation
with the State Industrial Commission,
members of which are anxious to clean
up the illegal practices.
Certain attorneys, and others who
are not attorneys, practicing before
this Commission are preying upon
claimants and collecting contingent
fees as high as so per cent of the
claims allowed, investigation has re-
vealed. This is in violation of the
State Supreme Court rulings and fees
permitted to be charged by the Com
missions ruling.
The Commission has set schedule
Of fees and claimants before that
board should beware of attorneys or
their runners" seeking to sign them
on a contingent fee basis.
The Bar Association of Franklin
County deserves commentator for
acting against the unscrupulous mem
bers of it's profession. The State In
dustrial Commission has a sacred
duty of protecting the beneficiaries of
this fund from racketeers of all
kinds. They are the guardians of that
fund as well as administrators. 1t is
a job that requires eternal vigilance
and not one for spasmodic investiga-
tions by outside shoppers.
Unfortunately the Commission has
been hampered by lack of funds in
the past and has not been able to
check up on violations of the law
Within the past few weeks a check
up made in Franklin County disclosed
300 employers amenable to the law
were not contributing to the fund. If
the same percentage of slackers were
made to comply in other counties of
the state, the premiums would be in
creased 100000 according to an esti-
mate of Evan l. Evans, actuary fol
the Commission.
A great many of the violations ir
Columbus were found among restaur.
ant operators, automobile dealers, anC
establishments employing clerical help
Evasions of the law were found tc
exist among concerns operating as
partnerships. The investigation is tt
be extended into Hamilton, Cuyahog;
and Lucas counties.

Sheridan Blasts
Sociul Security
merchants Not Benefited"
Says Hardware Groups
Spokesman

Columbus, Ohio. (OLNS).-With a
state and national campaign coming
on and another Legislature in the
making, the representatives of busi-
ness and special interest groups are
beginning to sound off on their opin-
ions or the opinions of the groups they
represent at mid-winter conventions.
Two such groups met in Columbus
last week, The Ohio Hardware AS
sociation, an affiliate of the Ohio
Council of Retail Merchants, headed
by George V. Sheridan, and the Ohio
Commercial Secretaries, which in
cludes secretaries of local Chambers
Of Commerce.
Mr. Sheridan, addressing the hard
ware men, complained bitterly: "that
Social Security legislation is causing
US to pay out from three to five per
cent Of our payrolls without apparent
return"
Mr.. Sheridan and committee claim
ing to represent the retail merchants
Of the state, vigorously opposed the
enactment by the Legislature of the
present "pool fund" type of law in ex-
istence in Ohio, and advocated the
passage of bill known as the din
dividual account" plan, whereby en-
ployers would not be required to pay
unemployment compensation premiums
after they had established an indi-
vidual account equaling 71a per cent
Of their payrolls. Labor defeated this
proposal.
Mr.. Sheridan, it will be recalled, is
the man who devised and "sold" to
Ohio State officials the three per cent
retail sales tax plan whereby the con-
sumer pays all the tax and the re-
taller collects discount for handling
the same; likewise he and other special
interest representatives fostered the
other nuisance taxes imposed upon
the average citizen in order to spare
their constituents from an income tax
The Ohio commercial secretaries
were of one mind that Ohio, by all
means, should retain in her Unemploy-
ment Compensation law the notorious
merit rating system which is to be-
come effective in 1912.
Mr.. Delmar G. Starkey, secretary
of the Columbus Chamber Of Com
merce, discussing employment prob
lens, took occasion to pay a compli-
ment to the Ohio Free Employment
Service, operated under the direction
of H. G. Atkinson, Bureau of Unem-
ployment Compensation. H said more
and more Columbus employers were
taking advantage of this service with
very satisfactory results.

Boyd Enters Race
For County Judge

Charles Boyd, local attorney, has
announced he will contest for Judge
of the Common Pleas Court. His state
ment follows:
"The Statutes of Ohio, provide that
candidate for an Elective Judicial
office, may be placed on the ballot,
either through nomination by poll
tical party, or through the filing of
a non-partisan petition duly signed
by qualified electors.
81 firmly believe the Judge of the
Common Pleas Court in this County
should be non-partisan office-poli-
tics should play no part in the Sc
lection Of a Judge.
"The legislature of Ohio, after a
thorough study of the matter, in ar
honest effort to remove politics from
the selection of Judges, enacted in eff
feet, providing Legislation, THAT the
name of no candidate for Judicial Of.
flee at the Fall election will appear
on a party ballot, but all the names
of candidates, no matter how proposed
or nominated, will appear on the non
partisan Judicial Ticket, and will not
appear on party ticket
"For these reasons, my name as 8
candidate for Judge will appear or
the non-partisan judicial Ticket at thu
election on Tuesday, November 5
1910.

law in all tho CourtS of Ohio in thu

of Appeals of the United States, ant

ed will endeavor to serve all the peo
pie impartially, to the best of m!
ability"

Our shop committee has been very
busy lately with problems that have
been up on the different plants. The
main issue is the case of delinquents.
The Vernon shop committee is happy
to report they now have everybody

ing served at the close Of the evening.
Brother Frank Hull is in the north

Ohio Supreme
Court Studies
Bridge Issues
Ruling Affects Validity Of
institutional Building
Authority Act

Columbus, O.-The Ohio Supreme
Court heard arguments last week and
took under advisement the test case
brought by the Ohio Bridge Commits
sion against Secretary of State Earl
Griffith, involving the constitutionality
of the bridge commission law and the
validity Of proposed bond issue to
refnance the purchase of the Sandusky
Bay bridge.
Important constitutional questions
are raised in this case, which may also
affect the validity of the State We'll
fare Departments ten million dollar
institutional building program con-
templated under the State Institutional
Building Authority act.
In the case of the bridge commits
sion, as we'll as in the case of the In
stitutional Building Authority, there
is a delegation of power by the State
to Commission or Authority to issue
bonds in excess of the limit placed up
on the State and to appropriate funds,
it is contended.
The purchase and financing of the
bridge is made possible from toll
charges, proceeds of which are to be
used to retire the bonds. In the case
of the Institutional Building Au-
thority bond issues are to be retired
from fees received for care of patients.
BY refnancing the bridge pur-
chase the State Bridge Commission
hopes to be able to save a consider
able sum Of money in interest on
bonds. The Institutional Building Au-
thority will probably await the decis-
ion of the court in the bridge case be-
fore proceeding with it's bond issue
program.
The Building Authority has already
authorized a $4,25O,O0O issue of rev.
enue bonds for the purpose of con-
constructing a 3,000-bed hospital for
feeble-minded at Apple Creek, Wayne
County. This project will be held up
pending ironing out Of legal questions.

Workers Protected
By Insurance Fund
Not q Dollur Of Worknen's s
Compensation Payments
Has Been Lost

Not a dollar in workmen's compen-
sation payments has been lost to a
worker protected under any of the Is
State funds, the Division of Labor

partment of Labor reports in a new

private carriers, particularly stock
casualty companies, have frequently
failed, with heavy losses both to in
sured employers and to injured work
ers, their widows and dependents" the
report says. "The loss of compensa-
tion benefits often means privation for
an injured worker, or for the widow
and children Of worker who has been
killed. The failure of an insurance
company, in most States, throws the
burden of payment on the employer
and, in cases of serious injuries, may
force him out of business. The COM
plete security offered by State funds
is seen as one of their chief advan-
tages to workers, to employers and to
the community"
A Estate fund" is an agency created
and operated by the State, on non
profit basis, to insure the payment of
benefits under it's workmen's compen-
sation law. Of the lS State funds now
functioning in this country, seven are
Exclusive funds" while eleven have
to compete with private insurance
carriers. All the Canadian Provinces
have exclusive State funds.
Organized labor, as we'll as success
sive National Conferences on Labor
Legislation, have repeatedly gone on
record i'm favor of insurance through
exclusive State funds.
Latest estimates show that, in 1898
1876, 900 workers in American indus
try were disabled by accident or sick
ness arising out of their work. Of
these, 16,400 cases resulted in death.
Almost 100000 men and women work
ers found themselves with permanent
disabilities. Over a million and a
quarter suffered temporary disabilities.
Public policy has long recognized, in
theory at least, that it is not only
more decent, but cheaper, to provide
for the victims of the industrial pro-
cess through compensation insurance
than through relief or charity-and
that it is even more economical to
prevent many of the years 1,375,000
injuries by doing a thorough job of
industrial safety and industrial hy-
giene.

Woll Urging More
Funds For Finlund
American Workers Asked to
Aid Finnish Workers In
Stopping Bolshevisrn

New York, N. Y.-Matthew Woll,
third vice president of the American
| Federation of Labor and chairman of
the National Labor Committee Of the
Finnish Relief Fund, issued the fol-
lowing statement urging immediate
and larger contributions to aid the
workers in Finland to successfully re-
sist the war waged against Finland by
Soviet Russia:
"A last minute cabe appeal from
organized labor in Finland says: Help
US. We prefer to die on our feet
rather than live on our knees
"At the same time an emergency
conference in Stockholm of represent
atives of the trade unions, labor par
ties and cooperative organizations of
Sweden, Norway and Denmark, urg-
ing the continued help of American
labor for Finland, stated:
"'We perceive in the attack of boil
shevism upon the peaceful and brave
little people of Finland a threat also
against the continued growth Of de-
mocracy. We are prepared to make
whatever sacrifices may be necessary.
The workers Of the United States
whose privilege it is to order their
lives within a free and democratic
country, have always repudiated boil
shevism. We are convinced that they
will realize the Importance of demon
strating practically their kinship with
the fighting workers of Finland in
their struggle for freedom and justice.
We are also convinced that the will to
help of American labor is as great
and remarkable as it it's strength"
"The plight Of the Finnish people
has gripped the heart of America. The
humanitarian desire of Americans to
help the people of Finland has been
amply proven by their response to the
appeals of the Finnish Relief Fund.
Organized labor participates in that
undertaking and is contributing gen.
erously.
"Various additional campaigns are
now under way to raise funds for a
variety Of purposes in Finland. Com
ing as they do in the midst of the
HdCIOIl-WluC oAlNC VI VIC i AsO-
lief Fund, they have, to a certain ex-
tent, confused the public mind.
"We heartily approve of all efforts
to help the Finnish people and furnish
them with the necessary means to
ward off aggression and preserve their
independence. These efforts are praise
worthy and deserve full support. How
ever, in the interests of greater eff
cheney and fullest possible use Of all
moneys contributed to the cause of
Finland it seems desirable, nay imper-
ative, that all funds be directed into
one central agency. Any other course
will create confusion, delay and un-
necessary costs.
"The Finnish Relief Fund is the
agency best equipped for these pur.
poses.
"Organized labor is eager to pro.
vide full measure of support to the
heroic Firms. 1t has already done anc
will continue to do so.
"We call upon all Americans tt
contribute to the Finnish Relief Fune
and to cooperate to the full extent OF
their abilities with our drive. In this
way Finland's defenders of democracy
will receive the full benefit of al
American gifts"

Sandy offered MacTavish, with

you have drappie yourself?"

France Rejects Soviet Protest Of French Raid on Russian
 Commercial House In Paris

UNDATED, Feb. 8 (4o) - Rus sia's role in Europe was high lighted by the Red army's inva- sion of Finland which occupied the attention of numerous capi- als on the continent.
 Sending off waves of Soviet at tackers on the Karelia7 Isthmus the Films reported Russian fore es on the Arctic and Salla front were retreating from Markajarvi toward Salla close to the front fer.
 The French government is re- liable reported to have rejected a Soviet protest against the police raid Monday of a Russian com mercial house in Paris contend ing that diplomatic immunity was no, involved. A Russian com munique said a hundred French plain clolhesmen and police took part in a raid extended to tae homes of the Russian staff. Docu ments were seized and Soviet cit izens were searched.
 French accounts said that three Russian agents were detained temporarily but were later freed.

Europe there are significant act ivities.
 Usually uninformative Lenin- grad headquarters in commun- ique claimed that Red army fore es captured 13 steel and concrete artillery forts" of the Manner helm Line and on the Karelian Isthmus and north of Lake Lad oga inflicted great losses to the Films. The Films who told of a steady heavy pounding on their lines for more than a week by Russian tanks, artillery and air bombs, even as the Russians made their announcements, mini mixed the fighting and insisted that the Mannerheim Line was still intact.
The Nome nugget., 1940-02-09

Russian ambassador Surits de- manded the return of the seized documents. The raids further em oittered the Russian and French relations which were already strained by the Daladier's gov- erments suppression of the French Communist party, and French support of Finland and Switzerland when they expelled Russia from the League of Ma lions.
 London reports said the first contingent of British volunteers might leave for Finland next week with the apparent blessing of the British government which said yesterday that substantial material aid was on the way to Finland.
 The Finnish legation arranged 9or the enlistment of hundreds" of volunteers from England.
 On the Western front both France and Gtrmany both report ad intensified pa.rol activity but gava no indication of any more important military developments
