V EMPLOYERS ELECT TO TAKE ADVANTAGES OF COMPENSATION ACT Trousers Smash Train Schedule , .n . tt ' J t : n 'at - - t ; n- ' n - Drummer Spends Day in Berth pi Many Who, Had Decided; ' Otherwise Change Minds as Time Draws Near. (ftalcm Bureau of Tb Journal.) . Ralera, Or., March 6. A number of employers, who had filed with the itate Industrial accident commleslon notices of their election not to come undei the provision of the workmen's com penaatio law, are now sending in re quests to have such notices withdrawn and declaring thlr Intention to take advantage of the. benefits offered by r the Uw,, according to F. W. Hinsdale, secretary of the commission. Mr. Hinsdale aays this change in opinion. among employers is due to the educational work being done by the members of the commission and the in spectors. He said that letters from employers Withdrawing their former notices were being received In prac tically every mail. The insurance fea ' tures of the law will become effective July 1. The purpose of the new law Is to provide automatic insurance for the Injured workmen and do away with litigation, with personal Injury suits, consuming fees for court and lawyers, ' and Ionic delays before final settle ment. To come under the, law: Is op. tional with the employer and tilie em ploye, and If an employer elects not to pay Into the accident fund he re main liable under the employers' lia bility law for accidents to employes. But, it Is pointed out, the position of such an employer. In the event of an accident to an employe, is greatly weakened by the provisions of section 16 of the workmen's compensation law. Section 15 says that "in any action, brought against such an employer on account' of an Injury sustained after June 80 next following the taking ef fect of this act, it shall be no defense for such employer to show that such . Injury was canned in whole or in part - by the negligence of a fellow-servant of the injured workman, that the neg ligence of the injured workman, other than n his wilful act, committed for the purpose of sustaining the injury. contributed to the accident, or that the injured workman had knowledge of the danger or assumed the risk which re sulted In his injury." "Agents of liability tnsurc com panies have represented to many em ployers," said Secretary Hinsdale, "that they might as well continue to carry their liability insurance and elect not to come under the workmen's compen sation act and thus make no change in present conditions, but when these em ployers begin to study the benefits of the act ' and take into consideration how section 15. will weaken their de fense in case of accident after they have elected to stay out, we find, that many of them are changing their minds about the matter and wjll come under the act." Mr. Hinsdale said that the names, ' addresses, exact nature of the bust ness, the usual number of employes and the estimated average monthly payroll of over 400W firms in the state. subject to the provisions of the act, have been listed in preparation for the time the act goes into effect July 1. About 1014 license Tags. 1 Salem, Or., March 6. Secretary of State Olcott received a letter today from Grants Pass in which attention was called to a number of automobiles being used without a. 1914 license tag. The writer of the letter called, attention to the fact that the law provides for the automobile license money, after the cost of conducting the department Is deducted, to be returned to the coun ties from which it came for.use In Im proving the roads, and said he wanted to see all the owners of machines pay the required license. "It la the duty of the local officials to enforce the law,'' said Mr. Olcott. "If persons' knowing about motor ve hicles being used without a 1914 li cense would make complaint to the city marshal or sheriff or other peace of ficer results might be obtained. But this office can do nothing in that dl reotlon.".

Music Shop, 1 Basement?; Pants; Drop Into Pullman Compartment Vacated by Mar shal Montag;' Train Officials Ship Them Back, to Find Owner, Sans Apparel in Upper Berth. A train schedule was smashed, a traveling salesman embarrassed, a Pullman conductor harassed and a pair of expensive gray trousers are wan dering around somewhere in eastern Oregon, hunting an owner, as a result of United States Marshal John Mon tana trip to eastern Oregon this week. Montag left Tuesday night for La Grande to arrest a Greek charged with white slavery. In the same sleeper wre Dr. Calvin S. White and Dr. Andrew Smith of the state health board; Captain William Oadsby and son, Portland furniture dealers, on their way to Europe; Assistant United States Attorney John Beckman, en route to Baker, who tells the" story. After Montag retired to lower 14, his berth, an unknown traveling man, of large waist girth, boarded the train. presumably at Pendleton. Montag left the train at Ll uranae about 4:30 a m., Wednesday. An hour later the porter .started making up his berth and discovered in it a pair of gray trousers of expensive weave. Captain Gadsby was stirring about and told f- the Pullman conductor that the former occupant of the berth was the United States marshal. Eager to oblige the government offi cial, who it was gravely suspected. might be roaming around La Grande without trousers on, the train was de layed at Union while the station mas ter was directed to rush the garment back to La Grande. Tremendous excitement reigned a few minutes later when the occupant of the upper berth poked his head through the curtains and told the por ter he had lost the lower half of his suit. It was then realized that the pants that had been sent back had slipped from the upper berth to the lower. Obliging passengers dug Into their baggage. A pair of possibilities would be thrust through the green curtains, only to come back a moment later with the smothered remark1 rrom the m terior that they were too small. In the next two hours the train schedule was smashed to smithereens. At every sta tion the conductor or some member of the crew would rush up to a store In a desperate search for a pair 44 inches around the waist. Eastern Oregon seemed to be barren of that size. At North Powder the conductor reported that he couldn't even see a barrel. Finally at Haines, the station north of Baker, a pair of the proper dimensions was located and the conductor paid J12 for them. At Baker a few minutes later the traveler was dressed and was down on the platform to bid farewell to his friends of the adventure. He held up the trousers with one hand while he shook hands with the other. The con ductor had forgotten suspenders. Meanwhile the other trousers went back to La Grande, where they prob ably remain.
