MEMBER OMYANHOE
HOMESTEAD IS CALLED
Halem, Jan.' 10.- No evidence was
- found to Btibrtantiate the charg of
tnlrnnanagernent j-lh the administra
tion of the workmen's compensation
fund' made against the state Indus
trial accident commission by Le Roy
E. Keeley, Portland attorney, ac
cording; to the committee of nine,
which concluded its investigations
of the affairs of the cbmrnMon this
'morning:, and filed lis report with
, Governor Olcott, who instituted ; the
ttiveatlgatlon last July at the request
Of William A. Marshall, chairman of
the commission.-
No reference Is mart In the eom
, mlttee'e report fo Keeley, except indi
rectly In touching on criticism or the
commission and Its actions, "coming
from an attorney or attorneys connect
ed wIWi what Is known as the Dlbbern
case.- 'It wa this Dlbbern case and
Keeley's attempt to collect attorney tees
for his aliened part In the collection of
compensation for the accidental death
of Dlbbern, an employe of the Grant
Smith-Porter shipyard In Portland,
which led up to the investigation of the
'commission.
After the comniWslon limored Keeley
Jp Its settlement with Mrs. Dlbbern,
Keeley then brought attachment
oeedtngs in an attempt to compel Mrs.
Dlbbern to pay him attorney fees out
of the compensation award. Later he
brought action against the commission,
declaring that i acted outside of! Its
authority rn awarding compensation for
the death of Dlbbern, who was killed
while employed on a navigable stream
and without the Jurisdiction of the state
commission.
I5TEJTT HELD PROPER
Touching on thin phase Of th criti
cism, the report of the Investigating" com
mittee declares that ni it Is apparent
that the commission had "reason to be
llave that it was acting within Its rights
In making the settlement with Mrs. Dlb
bern when and aa did. It Is ouf lm
presston that the commission ud its
best Judgment at the time and acted with
proper Intent, and that no snrlous criti
cism IS Justified."
Further reference In the report to what
Is evidently Keeley's criticism of the
cohnmleHlon la contained In a statement
wntcn declares that "a brief containtns
some specific and a good many general
(targes against the commission and its
administration of the law was presented
to the committee by an attorney. Upon
detailed Investigation so many of these
charges and complaints were found with
out substantial foundation that the com
mittee was inclined to attach little im
portance ' to either the complaints or
suggestions.
rEW COMPLAINTS STAPH
'The committee Is impressed with the
fact that, notwithstanding the publicity
given to Its appointment and Us meet
ing, leBS than a doten request all. told
have been made by those who wanted to
appear before It with either complaints
or suggestions.
v"We find that the number of em
ployes and the average salary paid the
employes of the commission are no ex
cessive and that the surgeons' fee sched
ule adopted by the commissions so far
as we can Judge, Is on a reanonable
basis."
The financial report, compiled by J.
W. Ferguson of the commission, is de
clared to be correct and to show "the
funds to be in a healthy condition, with
' a reasonable surplus or margin."

Because the Palem city charter re
quires that nominations of candidates
for city offices be etrlctly non-paftisan-the
nomination of candidates here can
not be conducted with the state prim

special session of the Mate legislature
will be" asked to correct the sltualon.

louses in collections shall be reduced to a
minimum. It is further recommended
"that nothing be left undone to extend
the workings of- the law to all employ
ers, so that in case of Injury all work
men will be protected."
The present commission Is commended
for, the great Improvement made in
handling claims, which has greatly ex
pedited the payment of compensation

committee of three members, represent
ing the public the employers and the
employes, to meet semi-annually In Jan
uary and July, for the purpose of going
over the administration of the law by
the commission and to hear and investi
gate complaints, to make such recom
mendations as may be deumed advisable
and to report to him.
That there be instituted and Installed
Rome form of educational service so that
the workman or employer may under
stand how to use the law, and what his
lights and responsibilities are under the
law. .
That When final settlement notice Is
sent to claimants there Khali be set out
plainly a statement of the claimant's
rights under the law, including hia right
to appeal from the ilecif-ion of the com
mission and the time In which such ap
peal most be taken. ;
That in the event the Commission re
jects any claim it should send such re
jection by registered mail, with a demand
for a return receipt and such rejection
notice shall contain a statement, plainly
printed, notifying the claimant as to the
time limit In which an appeal from the
action of the commission must be taken.
The committee of three recommended
by the committee would serve, accord
