By Private Finn
, Members of the state industrial
accident commission admitted
yesterday that a number of Ore
gon employers had obtained pro
tection in Lloyd's of London, in
stead of contributing to the! state
uhd the workmen's compensa
tion '-law. . (
Albert Hunter, chairman of the
commission, said - moat of these
employers were logging operators
included in what is known as the
heavy penalty class. Employers in
this class of risks are compelled
to pay penalties ranging as high
as 30 per cent above the base rate.
Hunter said. ? , - .
Hunter declared that while he
could give no definite reason for
these operators - rejecting the
workman's compensation act, he
presumed it was because of the
penalty and that some of them
expeced to be- reinstated at the
base rate. :

1C0" new developments In the
market situation were reported!
yesterday. Both growers and buy
ers have settled down to -watch;
the growth of the new crop. Dur
Ing- the last week improvement;
In vine growth has been noted in
most of the yards. Some hop mert
feel that with the new growtbf
there will be a fair crop, while
others declare that the blooms are
not setting on the vines with the"
result that few hops will be
picked. ' I
