THE LABOR ADVOCATE
R

WOHKEltS PAY ONE-HAM? OP
FUND FOR FJ11ST AID.
Seattle, Wash. Although dissatisfied
with certain features of the new first-aid
law, officers of the state federation of
labor have recommended that the "reft
crendum be not applied to this legisla
tion at this time.
The trade union movement attempted
to have costs placed on the industry, but
under the law th? costs are divided
equally between the employer and em
ploye. Industries arc divided into five
groups, according to hazard, termed A,
13, C. D, and E. The employer paj s into
the fund monthly for each day's work
performed, as follows: Class A, 1 cent;
B, Vi cents; C, 2 cents; D, 2'2 cents;
E, 3 cents. The cmplocr shall deduct
one-half of his premiums from his work
ers. All charges for maintaining the
fund shall be borne by the state indus
trial insurance commission.
To enforce the first aid law a state
medical board shall be created, consist
ing of the chief surgeon of the commis
sion, one member chosen by organized
labor, and one by organized employers.
Local boards shall consist of two mem
bers, one chosen by employer and one by
the employes. A majority of the work
men may appoint or remove. Local
boards shall care for injured workmen,
investigate all features of each case,
cause of injury, make recommendations
and audit all bills for services. An in
jured workman or employer may appeal
from the local board to the state board.
It is unlawful for employers to charge
for medical or hospital treatment other
than specified in the act.
Charges of phjsicians and surgeons
shall bc set by the state board, and
charges in excess of the established rate
shall be invalid.
If a workman refuses to submit him
self for examination or treatment his
monthly payment shall be suspended.
He shall be allowed traveling expenses
when necessary in submitting to such
examination or treatment.
FEItUYMAX KK1HJCE HOURS.
San Francisco, Cal. Deck men and
firemen employed on ferry boats were
not included in the SG-liour week ar
rangement agreed to by railroad com
panies and masters, mates, engineers and
pilots. The deck men and firemen were
working 24 hours off and 24 hours on
but were later reduced to "not more than
13 hours' work in any 24," in conform
ity with a ruling by the federal steam
boat inspection bureau. Thirteen hours
a day was unsatisfactory, however, and
these workers discussed strike in such
certain tones that the companies agreed
to make the 56-hour week universal on
their ferry boats

Against National Prohibition
The Central Labor Council at its meeting last Tuesday
night unanimously endorsed a resolution protesting against
national prohibition.
Thousands of men would be thrown out of work and the
Anti-Saloon bootleggers would be selling liquor just the same,
while Uncle Sam would lose his revenue tax, when he needs
it most.

Wilmington, Del. Differences be

404 have been adjusted and the men
have returned to work. The union had
negotiated a wage scale that raised
wages 12 per cent for piece workers
and 1G per cent for day workers, but
the company failed to reinstate a com
mitteeman. Although the boiler makers had se
cured substantial wage increases, they
suspcnded work as a protest against
this injustice.
