The adoption of a workable em ployes' compensation act Is tine of the big problems which is now confront ing the Michigan legislature and at a hearing held this week definite ac tion was deterred for two wet lea to al low the legislators more time to con- fii'.t r the question and Investigate le gal fxituriH involved. A great many bills dealing with the problem have been introduced, including one father ed by the Michigan Manufacturers nsc-ot l.ition, but it seemed to be the consensus tif opinion that the fairest nica.uiro is the one Introduced 1y Sen ators iMorlarty and James, which pro vides absolute comiK-nsatlon for all empb'yes engaged in hazardous employment. A great many legal questions are involved in the working out of any plan which socks to establish tho payment of sptiiilic amounts for death and disability. Tht question has bom raised whether the legislature could abrogate the common law right to sue on the part of the employe am! the rh;ht of defense on the part of tho employer, and It was Insisted that this should be done in tho Interests of all concerned. Tho claim was made that while the bill provides a given amount in case of death, one employe might Ibo earn ing 17 a day and another $3. This was answered by the state that under the present common law defense of eontributary negligence, assumption of rlk or fellow servant, tho employe earning the smaller amount might not get anything, yet he might have a dependent family, and the very pnrpose of an arbitrary compensation plan ols to provide a sum that will go to the. dependent families of all em ployes. Irrespective of the cause of death or disability. The subject Is one upon which the legislators need a lot of information, and the hearing was adjourned for two weeks, when the representatives of the railroads will be asked to pre sent their views.

COMING SUNDAY The Black Bordered Letter The discussion of ways and means for financing the proposed "home com ing" celebration in this city next July and the appointment of a delegate to the Upper Peninsula Development as sociation meeting- at Menominee, were tho most Important details transacted at the meeting of the Creator Hancock club at the city hall last evening. The council and the Business Men's association having failed to act on the matter of Bending someone to repre sent this city at the Menominee con vention, on Tuesday and Wednesday next, the Creator Hancock club took up the matter and decided that It would bo to the advantage of the city to have a delegate present who would be able to report fully on his return of what was done at the convention. Thomas Coughlln's name was present ed and on being notified of the action of the club he. consented to act. Most of the evening's discussion cen tered upon the methods which should be adopted to start the Hood of shekels on which to float the celebration, and the most feasible suggestion advanced was that tickets be printed, each to be good for about ten admissions to the park, and given to merchants and oth ers contributing to the fund, by them to be sold or given away and the amount represented in the tickets to bo turned over to the finance committee. The tickets would be transferable, so that after pa and ma has seen tho show the children could use the un punched portion. While this plan etruck those pres ent favorably as an ideal one for rais ing funds, it was thought that some way should be found to secure money at once for immediate needs, as money will Boon be needed for various Inci dental expenses. It was proposed that the secretary send ' out membership tickets to each of the present members of the club, to be disposodof by him for one dollar apiece, that being the annual membership fee. This would bring in four or five hundred dollars. The amusement committee stated that it would be ready to report some thing about the middle of March, it being expected that correspondence now In progress will have developed something definite by that time. It has been decided tha: there shall be no carnival company brought here, nut that all attractions will be handled by the celebration committee. . An aero plane exhibition Is practically assured, the chairman of the" amusement com mittee having bpen assured that one could be obtained for the homo com ing. It was proposed that the secretary write to some park architect to ascer tain the cost of having the driving park properly laid out, with a view to making it a permanent recreation park. The question of securing the park for the week of July 17, was left to a committee which will bring it before the council at the next regular meet ing of that body. Fred Francis, mayor pro torn of the city, expressed his opin ion that there would be no difficulty In getting the ground and Intimated that as soon as It is known what build ing would be required ,the old horse sheds could be demolished and the lumber used In the construction of other structures. The transportation committee will call on the street railway officials in a few days to endeavor to have the tracks on Ingot street extended to the park gates. It is hoped that the per mission of the state railroad commis sioners can be obtained for the tracks to cross the Mineral Range at grade for the one week of the celebration. May Get Factories. Chairman Rogers stated to the gath ering that Is an opportunity for the (ireater Hancock club to exercise Us influence for the upbuilding of Han cock in securing new Industries to lo cate here. Mr. Rogers said that he had received a number of commun ications from a Detroit concern, in forming him that they have a number c.f manufacturing plants which are looking for suitable locations, and seeking to know what sort of factorie3 Hancock desires and inducements of lered. One member present last evening suggested that tho name of the or ganization bo .changed to one more clearly Indicating Is scope a a civic organization for the advancement of the commercial Interests of Hancock. pnd also that some more clearly do fined organization to be effected, so that there would be no question In tho minds of any relative to responsibility lor contracts that might be entered Into.
