DIRECTORATES
There is no man in business who
does not feel the evils--or benefits
if he is favored— of the control of a
large variety of interests by local
capitalists.
This may have its
headquarters in a local bank and
reach around the affairs of a small
community; or in a larger sense it
may envelope the banking and com
mercial interests of cities Inter
locking directors, which have been
vigorously criticised in the past
year or two, as the result of the
Pujo Congressional investigation of
the money trust extend iheir influ
ence over national affairs through
the manipulation of the finances of
great banks, trust companies, and
insurance companies. Likewise the
great corporations, including the
railroads, steamship companies,
telegraph and telephone lines, and
other industries are within their
power. Therefore it was of impor
tance to the country when the part
ners of the banking firm or J. P.
Morgan and company announced
its members had retired from the
directorships of some score of cor
porations. The announcement says
that the retirements are due to pub
lic sentiment. That public senti
ment never was better expressed
than iu words attributed to Presi
dent Wilson, who said: “ The great
business transaction of the country
are privately controlled by gentle
men whom I can name and whom
I will name if it is desired; men of
great dignity ol character; men, as
I believe, of great purity of purpose
but men who have concentrated in
their bands transactions which they
are not willing to have the rest of
the country interefere with.
New England has been hard hit by
financial troubles of the Boston and
Maine and New Haven railroads.
“There has been something of a
monetary debauch up there,” he
explains,“ and this is the ‘cold gray
dawn of the morning after.’ Few
known, however, that the problem
is being treated in the strong
thorough way its complexity de
mands, that in the passing ol lime
a normal result for all interested
shall emerge.” The Secretary after
reviewing the results of the inves
tigations of his great branch of the
government, declares that unex

the country, and bints that the

Herald printing will please
The Herald has received from
Carl D. Babcock, a member of the
State Industrial Accident Commis
sion, a copy of the Workmen’s
Compensation Act. which was
passed almost unanimously by the
last Legislature, held up by the
referendum and approved by the
people on November 4th by a vote
of more than two to one. Included
with the law is the report of the
commission appointed by governor
West to frame the bill.
The law
became effective immediately after
election in so far as the organization
of the commission was concerned.
The insurance features of the Act,
however, do not become operative
until July 1, 1914.
The law provides for the creation
of the Industrial Accident Fund,
to be made up by contributions
from employers, workmen and the
State.
Two classes of occupations are
defined iu the Act and are désignât
eJ as classes A. and B
In Class
A, the rate of payment by the etn
ployer is 3 per cent and by the em
ployee one half-of 1 per cent.
In
Class B, the employer pays 1
per
cent aud the employee one-fourth of
1 per cent. In Class A. both the
employer and workmen are entitled
to exemption when the individual
employer has to his|credit 3 per cent
of his annual pay roll and no acci
dents have occurred in his plant;
while under Class B, the amount
requirrd to be maintained by the
employer in the accident fund is
i'/i per cent of the pay roll.
The law is elective, both in its
application to the employer and em
ployee, either of whom may elect to
come in or stay out, but employers
in any of the hazardous occupations,
who elect not to take advantage ot
the Act, are deprived of the common
law defenses of contributory negli
gence, fellow servant liability and
assumption of risk in action for
damages by their employees. Work
men who reject the Act lose the
benefits provided.
The Oregon law provides a liber
al schedule of compensation for
injured workmen and for the bene
ficiaries of workmen who lose their
lives in industrial accidents.
The
Act also provides foi first aid to in
jured workmen in an amount not to
exceed $250 in any one case.
Any one interested in the sub
ject cau obtaiu a copy ol the law by
writing the commission at Salem.
