Nicolal-Neppach Co., Northwest Door Co., Parelius Mrs. Co., Enterprise Planing Mill Co.. test Side Planing Mill. Inc. (Per W. J. Pritchard. Mgr.). Williams Ave. Planing Mill. Albert Berger. PORTLAND. Or, May 16. (To the Kdltor.) Tbe laws of Oregon for the adjustment of losses Incident to oc cupational casualties are far from pro gressive. The "Workmen's Compensa tion Act" standing alone, should be regarded as a step in the right direc tion, but coupled as It Is with the "Employer's Liability Law" and the other laws- upon the subject it is the last step in retrogressive legislation. The only redeeming feature which these laws present is the possible friendly alliance between employer and employe which they may engender. In order to survive In this city and state certain of the industrial corporations must refuse the benefits of the com pensation law. forego liability insur ance and secure the -co-operation and aid of their employes by agreeing to succor them and pay them wages in all cases of enforced Idleness from occu pational accidents. Then, if in any case, the employe Ignores the agree ment the employer must submit, for it will then be a case of "hands up." "Industrial corporations are the sources of labor's remuneration. They are limited to and must survive upon such profits as competition will allow. Overburdened as they are at the pres ent time, they cannot afford to pay li ability insurance premiums and injury rutnpetisatlon rates and it would be foolish to undertake to pay them when such payments will not secure immun ity from adverse Judgments under nalixing statutes. Crota-ctlon" Is Denied. The probable working of the "Com pensation Act" can now be forecasted with reasonable accuracy. The several opinions of Mr. Fenton, Mr. Fulton and Mr. Bristol are accurate and exhaus tive. Although the maximum contri bution may not be more than 3 per cent per annum of the payroll of men who have accepted the benefits of the art it is quite unlikely that it will ever be any less. But the heart-breaking thing about It is that the act af fords no protection.- Cnder a false and l:ypocrltical assumption that the pro moters of Industrial enterprises are morally liable for all Injuries arising out of and in the course of employment where no blame can be fixed and with a mawklhh anxiety to protect the la borer, laws have been passed In disre gard of property rights, which In ac tual operation, will inflict greater In Jury upon the laboring masses than upon any other class of society. Mr. Bristol well says of our compensation act: "If the act is to be regarded as conserving to employers any degree of .protection the degree of protection so otiserved is more or less remote." An owner who refuses the benefits of the net In case of accident may be sued under the liability law and In such an action the function of the court should be to ascertain the extent of the injury and to transmute it into - a judgment of damages against tbe defendant. Such a proceeding may be accurately denominated the stand-and-liver action. If the owner take the benefit of the art the employer may refuse it and then. In case of accident, institute a "stand-and-diliver action." notwith standing the fact that the owner is paying compensation assessments to secure Immunity from such losses and the further fact that immunity fromH such losses Is essential to Justify and insure investment In the enterprise as a safe business venture. If the owner pay the compensation assessment and also provide such safety devices as the "Factory Act" requires, then in case of an accident, if the employe fail to utilize the device the employer must respond in damages and may be fined and is disqualified to Interpose a defense. Siasresie Court RuIIdjc ( It. I make this declaration in the light of the decision of our Supreme Court in the case of Kovarhoft vs. St. Johns Lumber Company, where the failure of an employe to utilize the device is in law regarded as a failure of the owner to provide such device. Attorney-General Crawford says that "the only way an employer can evade actions of this character by the employes is to Install the safety devices and appliances re quired." This opinion is inaccurate in the assumption that a provision of the Devices will render the owner immune. The employe may fail to utilize the de vice and the negligence' of a fellow servant is not an available defense. The promoters of industrial corporations are not morally liable for an unavoid able accident and should not be made legally liable under any pretense. The state has not yet applied the "rule of right." which should govern in suck cases. The operators of planing mills and sash and door factories In this city re gard the future with gloomy forebod ings. There is considerable building done here the year round, but the Job bing houses with foreign-made glass and doors and finishing material supply at least 50 per cent of the building ma terial. We sell very little abroad, but are seriously crippled by the competi tion of less-burdened Industries In other st.ite. Some of the accidents which may swell the expense of insurance taxation may occur in the Incorporation and as sembling of the foreign-made material of our competitors. Iuring the present year one of the largest tlrms In the business, the Oregon Planing Mill, re tired, due to failure to make collections. The Johanneson Company and the Pitch less Lumber Company have tem porarily suspended, and the Portland loor Mill Company and the American Woodworking Company have recently arplied in bankruptcy. Lien Law Flgnt Recalled. During the last session of the Legis lature we were obliged to go to Salem Xn defeat the proposed nullification of the lien law. and will likely nave to fight for lien protection In the next state election. In this process of elim ination the laborer la the ohief sufferer. as the Industrial corporation Is for hlro "the hen that lays tho golden egg." The fact that we have a written con stitution seems to confuse many law yers and Judges. The unwritten consti tution which England has is necessarily the constitution of every nation. The definition of Chancellor Blackstone that "a law against nature Is unconstitu tional" is universally true. Man de rives the right, to govern from God v- u I-..- 3 ,.,...., b ml In f n I inmUH ana, Jena . a.aa.u.a;, - . - exercise of that right man cannot law fully contravene its meuia. .-acn..;. man nor the state has a right to- do hA 4tinA rr a luw should always be the test of its validity.

"the community or the state, should finally bear the burden of indus trial accident; but as our laws on the subject are now written we are tiring at that target through the bodies of in dividual industries. Talr riay Is Asked. and should be practical and law-abiding. In legislating we may yield some thing to expediency and policy; tout we ,hAni hM imhuari with sense of fait play and always act in good faith.

A compensation law should have for its ooject an ii of every class those engaged in -agri culture and horticulture and those working for municipal corporations, as well as in the Industries which our law designates as hazardous.

EGG PRESERVATIVE FOUND California Ed-ucator TMscovers Sub stitute for Cold Storage. T'N-TV-ERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. Berkeley. CaU. May IT. (Special.) Professor Jaffa, or tne agricultural ue nartment of the University of Cali fornia, believes Uiat no naa iuuhu successful method of defeating the cold storage egg and the price asked for It. It Is somewhat similar to mo old-fashioned method , of salting eggs. The discoverer of the new fluid pre servative announced to the fraterni ties last year that he had found a new and successful method of preserving eca-s which left no taste and showed the chemical composition of the egg to undergo absolutely no change. Under varying conditions, some IS dozen were "canned" in December, be ing placed In the-new solution and left to stand in the cellars. The first week in May they were raked out and found to be fresh and having no taste what soever, other than of eggs. The van ous boarding clubs are going in for the discovery on a large scale.

WEAKER ON SELLING ORDER Canadian Pacific Is Again indcr Pressure Predictions of Sub- . stantial Gain in Banks Cash Are Borne Out. NEW YORK, ilav 17. The effect of today's trading on quoted values of stocks was slight. Speculative interest was gone from the market and the volume of business was barely suffi cient to preserve the semblance of life in the dealings. The narrow move ments of the leading stocks were ir regular, with a lower tendency. After opening at small decline, prices moved above vesterday's close, but later eased off again on the appearance of some selling orders. A few stocks broke away from the list and moved widely. Canadian Pa cific was again under pressure and broke nearly three points, inere was further pronounced weakness among the Rock Island and the --.ouis oc San Francisco securities. The latter s common and second' preferred, Denver & Rio Grande preferred. Baltimore & Ohio prefersed and Seaboard preferred made new low records for the year. Predictions of a substantial gain in cash by the banks as a result of the week's operations were fully borne out by the bank statement. Tne aoiuai cash gain amounted to approximately $16,400,000. Changes In loans and de posits were small, and $5,776,000 was added to the surplus reserve. The general bond market neia wen in tare, of the weakness of some specu lative issues, Tthal sales, par value. $780,000.

Next Tuesday's Chinese loan Is thus being prepared tor, wltn tne Frencn government requirements and the war cos In the Balkans, as well as a flood or other borrowings. In the background. News of the slackening in the Iron ana steel trade confirmed the conviction already reflected In the stock market. Other trade advices were corroborative.

All existing Pacific Coast open market prices for beef were broken when five loads of corn-fed steers went to the killers at $9. A few cows brought $7.65, but offerings were scarce.

The -beef shortage is acute," and fails to fill the constant demand from anxious buyers; $8.75 for steers, $7.75 for cows, $9 for calves and $6.50 for bulls are conservative tops in the cat tle market, which is firm. "Swine prices suffered one of the severest slumps of the year on Mon day and Wednesday. Total loss was 45 cents. Tops were Just steady Thurs day at $8.40. A week ago. hogs were selling around $9. Receipts were enor mous and market was glutted. . "Sheep house had a broad business and a lower price level. A firm mutton demand absorbed the sheep and lambs offered, but the trade was uneven. Prime ewes at $5.25, wethers $6.25 to $6.50 and lambs $7 to $7.25 are best grade sheared prices. Wool and Spring stuff $1 higher." The following sales are representa tive of the week's trade: Weight.
