A NEXT STEP IN WORKMEN’S
COMPENSATION
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 8.—
“Surely the next advancement in
compensation legislation must deal
with the vague, marginal jurisdic
tional field between federal and
state jurisdiction over railroad
workers,” writes President Samuel
Gompers in the American Federa
tionist. “The present condition
leaves many without adequate pro
tection for injuries incurred in the
necessary and dangerous work of
transportation.”
Commenting with approval upon
the bill prepared by the American
Association for Labor Legislation
RIGHT OF ALLIED
CAUSE DECLARED
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—At a re
caption here Judge Elbert H. Gary
stated that the United will measure
up to all obligations in this inter
national crisis. “She is mobilizing
all resources of the country for war
purposes,” he added, “and she can,
within three cr four years, furnish
15,000,000 men, well trained and
fully equipped for battle. More
over she can within the samo time
provide $100,000,000,000 without
crippling her financial strength or
interrupting her industrial progress
If necesasry, she will do both.
(Editor Note.—Gary is president
I
of the Steel Trust, a concern that
has multiplied itself wealth by
three smeo the war started.
Do you note how glibly he pro
mises 15 million men and a hund
red billion dollars. In reality he
is promising the hundred billion
dollars to himself and his partners,
since most of it is being spent with
them, and it is only incidental to
'.ho business operation of the steel
that a few million man will die,
tinco the steel magnates and their
sons will not do the dying. It is
amazing that more people don't get
next.)
