18 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. "WEDNESDAY. JUNE 30, 1915. HEW GQKIPEUSATIOri RATE IS DUE SOON Schedule Under Workmen's Act Is to Be Changed, Be ginning Tomorrow. MANY EMPLOYERS ACCEPT Only Few Who Carried Insurance Under Old Form Withdraw Clas sification Based on Risks Pre vailing at Places of Work. Beginning- tomorrow the new sched ule of rates for the workmen'! com pensation law will go into ellect. ah omninvoT-n who are. operating under the law in its present form and who have not notinea me tuuiui. withdraw will be required to pay assessments under the new law unless they notuy me tom mission before tomorrow night. Those employers who have not oper ated under the old law and who have not notified the commission of their intention to operate under the new law will not receive benefits under the act and will not be assessed accordingly. It is understood, however, that only a few of those who have carried com pensation insurance under the old law have withdrawn, and that, on the other hand, a large number of employers not now under the law have applied for ad mission under the new form. IUiM Based on Risks. The principal change In the new law over the old one is the reclassifica tion of rates so that the assessments against the employers are based solely, so far as possible, on the risk involved. Under the old law only two classifi cations were provided and this, it is pointed out, caused some employers to pay more than the law of averages re quires, and others to pay less. The criminal provision which gives state authorities power of starting criminal proveedings against employers failing to install devices necessary for the protection of the lives and health of their employers is retained. Under the new law employes con tribute a flat rate of 1 cent a day into the industrial accident fund, but many employers who assess their employes for hospital dues have arranged to pay the employes' assessments from these funds. Old Lin Amended. Employes accepting compensation in surance under the new law will not have power to bring civil suit again3t their employers as was permitted under the old law. The new law takes Its form from the amendments to the old law passed at the recent session of the Legislature. The bill carrying these amendments was introduced in the House of Representa tives by Christ Scheubel, of Oregon City, and was passed by almost unani mous vote. It was delayed In the Sen ate, however, and was the subject of considerable controversy before It finally was passed in almost precisely the same form as introduced. MOTHERS IN PEACE MOVE BUSS DE GRAFT URGES INSTITUTE TO HELP PREVENT WAR. Cease Bearing Children If They Are to Be Sacrificed Is Plea Indorsed at Meeting- "Women should refuse to go down to the gates of death for motherhood if their children are to be sacrificed on the altar of war," declared Miss Grace DeGraff yesterday in her address before the Mothers' Institute, In the Lents Evangelical Church. Miss De Graff, who was delegate from Oregon to The Hague Peace Conference of Women, outlined what was accom plished for world-wide peace. She said that the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union had done much in Oregon in assisting in bringing about prohibi tion of the liquor traffic, and that now "it should enroll itself in this mighty peace movement that is sweeping over the country." "The women can do much for the world-wide peace movement," said Mis DeGraff, "and we want to enroll 1.000, 000 members in the movement. Wom en who Joined in the peace conference from nations at war recognized that something must be done." Miss XeGraff closed with an appeal for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union to join its strength with this great peace movement. Rev. Luther R. Dyott, of the First Congregational Church, In an address indorsed the peace movement and the work of the Women's Christian Tem perance Union. The other speakers were: Rev. T. R.

Trouble is on in Philadelphia among the members of the official family who are to make the Western trip with the Liberty Bell, according to information which has been received from the Pennsylvania metropolis. It Is said five of the 2 named to accompany the bell have withdrawn from the trip and others have threatened to follow the same course. It is reported that the committee "is in danger of disruption." It is reported that President Harry C. Ransley. of Select Council; Presi dent George McCurdy, of CVnmon Council; Chairman P. J. Connelly, of Council's finance committee; Select Councilman James E. Lennon and Se lect Councilman Dr. William S. Bacon have backed out of the trip. It is understood that at least four more members have withdrawn their names, but no information hM been given officially and frenzied shifts in the personnel are being made to com plete the ranks of the Junketers be fore July 5. Reasons for the remarkable rejec tions of places so eagerly sought a few weeks ago are causing considerable speculation. Apprehension that some thing might happen to the bell on the trip or that the stigma of the Junket mav oe injected into the political cam paign this Fall is declared to be re sponsible for the withdrawal of all members who may regard themselves as candidates for office in the coming elections. President McCurdy's withdrawal was exnected. He has consistently been op Dosed to removing the bell from Phila delphia, and made public announce ment to that effect in Common Council when the Junket was first proposed. President Ransley, of Select Council, and Chairman Connelly are understood to be entirely "too busy" to make the trio at this time. Connelly is an aspirant for the City Solicltorship. Ransley is expected to appear on the ticket as a Sheriff possibility. The recent Jarring note that the J150 personal assessment on committeemen Injected Into the excursion is said to have hurt the sensibilities of some of the Councilmen even more than the prospect of the bell falling to pieces on the trip. As Presidents Ransley and McCurdy were ex-offlcio members of the com mittee and increased the number to 26, there are now two extra places in ad dition to other vacancies in the committee.

CONVENTION IS SOUGHT Chamber Wants Anti-Saloon Ses sions for Portland in 19 16. The 1916 convention of the Anti-Saloon League and the World's Anti- Alcohol congress will be held In Port land If the Chamber of Commerce and the City Commissioners have their way. Formal invitations have been sent by Mayor Albee and the Commissioners and by the Chamber of Commerce, bol stered up with floods of literature set ting forth the advantages of Portland as a convention city. The convention is held this year in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and at the convention delegations from many cities of the United States are urging their claims for the 1916 meeting. Wash ington, D. C and Denver. Colo., are both working for it. but probably will defer their claims until 1917 if properly handled. R. P. Hutton.
