NO HANDICAP UNDER
COMPENSATION LAW
Harry A. Mackey, Board
Member, Says Experi
ence in Other States Re
futes Statement of Con
tractors' Attorney.
Harry A. Mackey, a member of tho
Workmen's Compensation Board, uttered
today an emphatic denial of tho state
ment made recently by Horace, M, Schell,
an attorney, that under tho new work
men's compensation act It would bo to
tho advantage of all companies to cm
ploy only single men.
Schell made tho startling statement be
fore a, meeting of the Contractors Asso
ciation of Philadelphia. He based his
assumption on the fact that the law pro
vides that a compensation of 25 per cent,
of tho salary of a man killed while at
work bo paid to his widow by his em
ployer and an additional 10 per cent bo
paid her for oach child In excess of two
until CO per cent is reached.
"Thero is no question," said Mr.
Mackey, "that the law provides for a
irrenfpr romnpnantlon In tho caso whero
tho man who was killed was married and
had-children. That la the essence of the
law. Tho State must look after tho in
terests ot women and children and thero
1b no logical reason why an employer
should not havo to pay moro when they
have been (deprived of their means of
livelihood by an accident for which tho
employer is responsible.
"In theory it is all right to assump that
since tho employer Is liable to a greater
oxtent or, If ho Insures his liability, tho
insurance company Is liable to a greater
extent In the case of the death of n mar
ried employe that it will be cheaper for(
him to employ only single men and that
ho will therefore do so.
"But that does not necessarily mean
that he will differentiate In that way.
Poople. must bear in mind that the fact
that wo havo such a law on the statute
books is Indicative of progress in the gen
eral attitude In such matters.
"Consideration and responsibility for
human life Is growing all the time, and
ho must. Indeed, be a small-minded and
petty employer who would not bo ready
and anxious to Indemnify dependents and
who would willingly for the sake of a
few dollars' make a discrimination which
would provo in the long run socially vi
cious and disastrous.
"Tho tendency will rather bo, when
the law becomes effective, toward greater
enre in the prevention of accidents in
stead of an endeavor to mane ino com
of accidents cheaper. And that Is ex
actly why the law was passed.
"However, to 16ok nt it from a purely
commercial standpoint, tho experience
has been in other States where compensa
tion laws are now in force and there are
some SO of them-that no discrimination
In favor of single men has ever been
mode. Statistics show that in the States
where such laws are effective and with.
In many cases, the compensation rate
higher, the railroads, to take the best
example, have on the average been forced
to pay out in compensation but an In
crease of 1 per cent, of their entire pay
roll over what they had had to pay be
fore tho laws were enacted,"
Mr, Mackey, when asked what he had
to say about another statement of Schell
to the effect that the State rates of in
anrnnna would be higher than those
charged by Independent companies, said
that the rates for rennsyivamu. iwu ui
been fixed, but that in other States they
were as a rule lower.

BENZOL PRODUCTS CO.
TO PRODUCE DYES ON
LARGE SCALE HERE
Marcus Hook Plant Will
Undertake Greatest Ef
fort Yet Made in America
to Supply Textile Indus
try of United States.
One of tho most ambitious attempts
by American manufacturers to meet the
shortage in aniline and its by-products,
caused by the European war. Is being
made by tho Benzol Products Company,
near Marcus Hook. Tho company has
virtually completed a new plant of six
buildings, which will give employment to
several hundred workmen and supply the
textile Industry with large quantities of
the highly desirable dyestuff,
The concern, which is slightly more
than four years old, began operations In a
smnll shop In Frankford. With tho In
creased demand for aniline, a tract ot
45 acres near Marcus Hook was pur
chased. At the outbreak of tho war and
shortly thereafter the demand for aniline
beenme so great that It was decided to
Increase the slzo of the plant, and the
plans wero changed to double the capa
city. Later, as the need for the elusive
dyestuff became most pressing to the tex
tile Industry In this country, the plans
were again changed, so that quadruple
the size of the proposed original plant Is
now In the course ot completion.
Part of the plant has begun operation
and It is "expected that, the entire organi
zation will be available in two weeks. Tho
principal products produced will be aniline
oils and aniline salts. Benzol, the princi
pal by-product, will be available also. The
concern announces that It already has
contracts for moro than four years which
will require the operation of the full
capacity of the plant. From the demoral
ized state of the American dye Industry
it Is predicted that still more contracts
will flood tha concern as soon as opera
tion actually begins,
200 LIVES IN DANGER
AS CHIMNEYS GO OVER
Wind Blows Down Two Iron
Smokestacks on Illingworth
Steel Company Building.
Two huge Iron chimneys on the build
ing occupied by the John Illlngworth Steel
Company, Frankford avenue and Lewis
street, were blown over by the wind
early today nnd. crashed down upon the
roof, endangering the lives of 200 men
working In the building at the time.
The damage is estimated at $S00.
The smokestacks were 60 and 70 feet
high. The smaller ono collapsed flrstt
as the wind blew against it, and, falling
against the other, brought it down with n
terrlflo crash. Workmen in the building
dropped their tools and rushed to the
htreet. No one was Injured.
A portion of the plant was put out of
commission by the accident, but it was
possible to. resume work later. The
stacks caused great Injury to machinery
In the building.

Mounts to $7,000,000.
ERIE, Pa., Aug. 6. Tho machinery of
tho State turned today to tho relief and
protection of the victims of tho muddy
broom, which swept a path through the
heart of Erio Tuesday night. Health
Board officials from Harrlsburg arrived
last night, and at onco planned measures
to prevent water pollution and tho pos
sibility of disease. Early today a squad
of State police from Butler arrived, to
stand guard over tho devastated section
and to protect all homes and workers In
the district from molestation.
Thirty-three persons missing woro to
day given up as dead by the authorities.
These, with tho 21 bodies in tho morgue,
and three or four located but not yet ex
tricated from tho wreckage that still
blocks tho streets, will run the death toll
to between 55 and 60.
The life-saving crew early today picked
up the body of on unidentified man in
tho channel. Till a Is the third of tho
flood victims that has floated Into tho
bay, and .It Is now believed that many
more bodies will be found there. The
liny now Is tho centra ot the efforts of
those who aro searching for more bodies
in the water. '
The more calm tho survey of the dis
aster the greater tho total of property
damage grows. The actual monetary loss
Will reach at least $7,000,000.

Another costly flood along the Bchuyl

by the rain.
The river 'road again is under water
