physician. The bill further provides
that claimant shall have the right
to elect whether or not he wants to
take compensation on permanent
disability basis after the Industrial
Commission has made determination
of the amount Of compensation he is
entitled to receive.
For many years Ohio's Workman's
Compensation Law had been used as a
model for other states, but recently
many of our sister states had been
able to make great strides in this
field. A number of states had sur
passed Ohio, but the enactment of
S. B. 211 again places the Ohio law
among the very best in the nation.
This measure is a real credit to the
committee selected by the Ohio State
Federation of Labor to negotiate the
provisions of this act. Furthermore,
the results this year speak well of this
method of securing better Labor legis-
lation.

Workman's Compensation

passed the "agreed. bill" on Work
mans Compensation IS. B. 211) by a
vote of 121 to /. This measure, as pre-
viously explained, provides for an in
crease in the maximum weekly pay
ment of compensation from $21 to
$24.50; an increase in the minimum
rate from So to $40, and raises the
maximum death benefit from $1,000 to
$500. Also the statute of limitation
clause relative to filing claims for
silicosis and other occupational diseas-
es has been greatly liberalized-giv-
ing every unfortunate worker ample
time to file his claim. In the past,
many workers have been denied the
right to file a claim due to the fact
that too much time had elapsed be-
fore his case had been diagnosed by

SAY "WE"!
by Ruth Taylor

Unity-unity-unity. United Ma
tions. United States. United people.
The world is like drum beat through
our minds wherever we turn. But
how can we achieve this much to be
desired end-this cohesiveness, this
unity?
Kipling once pointed out simple,
yet truly practical way. 1t was in his
verse story of the Norman Baron ad-
vising his son: "Say we, us, and
ours when you're talking, instead of
you fellows and f."
Nothing but good, sound, practical
common sense when you stop to think
it over. If we who pride ourselves on
being Americans, would think in terms
of "we", Gus" and tours" instead of
"you fellows" and "I', if we would
temper our personal ambitions in the
pool of our common interests, we
could by our combined abilities solve
our mutual problems.

Because we have learned by that hard
way of war, the lesson that no man
liveth unto himself, alone, that there
is nothing, even in our every day lives
in which we are not dependent upor
others and where they do not depend
on US.
! We cannot achieve prosperity, We
cannot reach the pinnacles of any sue.
cess, we cannot even have peace, BY
ourselves. What concerns one, concerns
; all.
There is no phase of life to which

Bicycle transportation

Hollands transportation facilities
have been so depleted through delib-
crate Nazi destruction and Allied
bombing, bicycles have assumed a
leading role in helping Hollanders get
about, and even tideless bicycles have
been pressed into service, says a re-
port to Mr.. ]. J. Higgins, member of
the Executive Committee of the Ham

tically the only means of transporta-

where relief is needed, said the report
Lack of transportation facilities is so
acute that even the sister of the Dutch
Ambassador to Great Britain finds it
necessary to ride a tire-less bicycle,
according to the report, which added
that supply of bicycle tires is great
ly needed in Holland to replace those
confiscated by the Nazis to relieve a
critical rubber shortage.
The work of American Relief for
Holland is supported in part by con-
tributions to the Hamilton and But

Labor Resentment Reported
Caused By Lack of Meat

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).--Lac
of meat for workers is building up a
wave of resentment that may affect
labor relations, says Chester Wright's
Labor Letter. 1t adds:
"There is definite weakening of
the patriotic sentiment that workers
should eat less meat in order that men
in uniform might have more. Chief
causes of discomfort are stories that
meat is plentiful in Canada and stories
that large stocks of food have dete-
riorated because of bad management
by War Foods Administration.
"Union publications are beginning
to reflect critical talk long current
among rank and file workers."

vansittart Condemns
|heufraIs Who Admit
Nazi War Criminals
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. lord Vansit-
tart told the House of Lords today
that he personally knew of certain
very sinister Germans" who have
been escaping from the Reich lately
on false passports.
| Lord Vansittart, privy councillor
and former undersecretary of for
eign affairs, made the statement In
calling on the government to an
nounce that the rights of neutrality
did not extend to granting asylum to
war criminals.
IF We admit the rights of neu-
trails in this sphere" he said, these
men will use neutral countries as a
cover to organize sabotage and po-
litical assassination In Germany
and elsewhere, and they will use
those countries as a base for or
ganization Of new German war po-
tential."
Meanwhile, in Moscow, an editor
ial in the Russian naval newspaper
Red Fleet charged Argentina was
"swarming with Hitler agents." and
asserted that "every day from
Stuttgart there arrive in Barcelona
planes with Hitlerites who then pro-
ceed to Argentina"
Lord Vansittart specifically crit
icized Fires refusal to give assur-
ances that war criminals would not
be allowed to hide there, and MAIN
tanned that "it must be for the bel
ligerents and not for the neutrals
to decide who is for asylum and who
for retribution."
Fire has challenged the Allied
right under international law to
say whom she would admit, but an
nounced that no one would be al
lowed to enter who would jeopardize
the country's neutrality.
Sir John Simon, lord chancellor,
said he did not think Lord Vansit-
tart's motion was well timed" and
declared II cannot imagine a worse
way of persuading the Irishmen that
they should not admit crime stained
fugitives than by shouting at them
that the British House OF Parlia-
ment or one Of them has resolved
that they have no right"
