500 MEETINGS OF
FARMERS ARRANGED
Paul V. Maris Reports Com
pletion of Organization in
28 Farming Counties.
CENSUS TO BE COMPLETED
Aid of Girls' National Honor Guard
Solicited In Compiling Rewards
on Agricultural Mobilization.
Survey Blanks Taken Up.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
CorvalUs, May .10. (Special.) " Not
fewer than 600 farmers' meetings on
Oregon Agricultural Defense day, Sat
urday, May 12. have been arranged,"
aid Paul V. Marls, state leader of the
county and district agricultural agents
that have completed their work of or
ganizing the work in the "28 principal
agricultural counties.
These meetings provide for taking
a complete census of the agricultural
resources and mobilizing farm labor,
seed supply for late planting, necessary
capital and machinery.
"Due to the readiness with which
the farmers of the state are respond
ing to this call, Oregon will be among
the first of the states completing the
agricultural mobilization," said Mr.
Marls. "Indeed, so far as can be
learned, no other state has attempted
the gigantic task of taking Its. agri
cultural census in a day."
Immediately following the census
taking, large clerical forces will be
organized by the county and district
agents In each county to classify audi
summarize the survey blanks. To In
sure rapid, and accurate work by these
forces. Director R. D. Hetzel, In per
sonal charge of the campaign during
President Kerr's absence, has called
upon the local chapters of the Girls'
Honor Guard. As rapidly as this work
is completed the totals will be for
warded to the office of Mr. Maris at
the college, and it Is hoped that the
statistics will be available within a
short time.
Compilation of a complete list of all
available corn, bean and potato seed in
the state will be given right-of-way in
the summarizing o fthe survey blanks
so that a statement of all sources of
supply may be filed with G. R. Hyslop,
head of the farm crops department of
the Agricultural College, and in the of
fices of the county and district agents.
It Is expected that the entire ques
tion of the present needs of farm la
bor and the actual needs of harvest
time will be made matters of record
within a very short time, as will also
the reports of Oregon's crop and live
stock condition.
taking up the strike matter with the
logging camps at Powers and Sumner.
Mr. Mereen was quoted today as say
ing the minimum on the Columbia
River had been $2.50 per day. but there
was an Increase of 25 cents made to
day. Picketing was established around the
mill grounds this morning and the
strikers asserted only 13 men entered
the premises. There has been no vio
lence and the strikers have issued
strict orders not to molest anybody.
They are meeting daily at their head
quarters In the Socialist Hall.
Today was payday at the Smith mills
and the strikers went in a body to
receive their checks. They were paid
for labor done to the first of the cur
rent month, as usual.
The company spokesmen maintain
the attitude that vorkmes may yet
return at the wages offered, that is,
a raise of 25 cents to all men.
There Is some likelihood of a general
loss of the crew if the strike continues
more than this week, for contractors
on county road work are offering $3
per day for eight, hours and need 60
men at once, and more soon. Some
men, after obtaining their pay, stated
their intention of seeking employment
within a few days if the demands are
not met. Five hundred men are Idle.

Industrial Accident Commission
Declares Oregon Measure Saves
Employers Much Annoyance
and Is Liberal In Relief.
SALEM, Or., May 10. (Special.)
Asserting that misrepresentations are
being made by some insurance agents-
as to amendments In the workmen s
compensation act and also offering a
comparison as to the act and the com
pensation insurance offered by insur
ance companies, the State Industrial
Accident Commission has Issued the
following statement:
Efforts have been made each year by cer
tain insurance agents to 'induce employers
to withdraw from the protection of the
workmen's compensation law. Employer.
are offered what are termed combination
policies, which purport to furnish compen
sation to injured workmen upon the same
basis as provided by the state law.
In some Instances rates are quoted which
appear to be slightly less than thoae charged
under the state law. For the purpose of
comparison, however, employers should con
aider the fact that the state law affords
opportunity to aecur. a reduction of '20 per
cent in rates for good accident experience,
while the flat rates quoted by Insurance
companies apply continuously.
Annoyance Declared Avoided.'
It is Important for employers to not also
that while the state law affords complete
nrotectlon. it does not Involve the annoy
ance, expense and frequent disorganization
of working force where employes are called
to testify in court in litigation resulting
from the refusal of Injured workmen to ac
cept the compensation offered by the Insur
ance companies under the policies herein
referred to.
Employers also are Interested In seeing
that their injured workmen are properly
compensated, and we are, therefore, compar
ing In the following table a number of bene
fits provided under these policies and the
benefits paid under the state law:
Insurance companies
Maximum compensation per week, $10;
minimum compensation per week, f.l; max
imum compensation in one case, foOoo; com
pensation not to be paid workman account
first seven days; compensation to widows
In fatal cases for, eight yeara; lump sum
payment to widow upon remarriage, none;
compensation to partial dependents In fatal
cases for, eight years; burial expenses where
there are dependnts, none; workmen to
tally and permanently Incapacitated receive
compensation for ten years.
State fund
Maximum compensation per week. J1T.30;
minimum compensation per week.
maximum compensation in one case, no
limit; compensation not to be paid work
man account first seven flays: compensa
tion to widows In fatal cases for, life; lump
sum payment to widow upon remarriage.
$300; compensation to partial dependents in
fatal cases, during dependency; Dunai ex
penses where there are dependents. 100;
workmen totally and permanently Inca
pacitated receive compensation for life.
State Blora Liberal.
The definition of permanent total disability
in the state compensation law is also more
liberal, since. In addition to ine io oi
both arms, both legs. etc.. it regards a con
dition which permanently Incapacitates a
workman from performing any work at
any gainful occupation as also constituting
permanent total disability.
We also aesire o reiu. - -

innti. to tli. effect that the
amended compensation law requires the em
ployer to charge woramen su cama uuu....
The present contribution by workmen ot
1 cent for each day or part ot day em
ployed was not changed at the recent ses
sion of the Legislature.
