HE Workmen’s Compensation bill, which has pessed both houses T of the State Legislature and is to be signed by Gov. Glynn to-day, provides that employees in forty-one hazardous callings in this State will recetve so high as 669-8 per cent, of their everage weekly wages in case injury received in the course of their permanently disables them. same percentage of wages will be payable in the case of total disablement, but with spe vfied limits as 3 death, the widow or dependent husband gets 80 of the deceased and each surviving child under ten per cent. approval for the measure came from the National Civic which concluded its session in this city ld#t week after @ansidesing the question of workmen’s compensation as other States have treated it. The provisions of New York’s act are regarded as well considered eed adequate in directions where there has been « tendency to provide Gaadew without oubstance. Clark B. Firestone, President of the Firestone Bank of Lisbon, Ohio, told the Civie Federation that the Ohio law, for example, “En- abies the widow of the industria! victim to provide twice as good a for her husband as any other State, but Ohio provides for the lees generously than most other States.” Ne doubt New York will later find flaws in its act and learn to them. But, es a beginning, the measure {is carefully thought thoroughly to be commended. Moreover, such a law should have the same healthy effect upon Sectory owners in this State that it is having in Ohio, where, Mr. Firestone notes: “The new law 1s going to do something better than @empensate injury. In good part it is going to prevent it. Its enostment is vitalizing the neglected provisions of the State Factory eet, and causing mil] owners to install safety devices, to cage their gage and chield all points of danger.” Liability ts clear. Compensation is just. But Prevention is best of all. iY il Fat turkeys ot 98 cents 2 pound wholesale are coming Into the Gly to fast that the middleman bas hardly time to figure the costliest ay te get them to the consumer. ate eee eeE PUBLIC PESTS—NO. 5.
