THURSDAY EVENING, ACTIVITIES (OVERS OPPOSES COMPENSATION PLAN Would Like a Larger Share of Allowance Given to the Injured Employe in State Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has .given notice he will light the work men's compensation bill unless it pro vides compensation for Injuries at the rate of at least 65 per cent, of tho wages, lie will come to Harrisburg to appear against the legislation. Gompers has sent word that or ganized labor would not be satisfied with a bill which compensated tho workmen by giving them 50 per cent, of his wages. He said if the adminis tration measure fixed this limit or dropped below 65 per cent, he wanted to be advised and he would appear before the Legislature in opposition to the legislation. It Is not possible to say whether Gompers will have to tight. The per centage of compensation the bill pro poses to pay lias not been made pub lic and will not be until next week. Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown said larger payments were al lowed in some cases than in others and that he was not prepared to say at this time what the percentage would be. There is a belief in some quarters that the administration bill is follow ing the Industrial Accidents' Commis sion measure of two years ago in so far as compensation is concerned. That bill proposed to pay 50 per cent, of the employes in case of injury for a specified number of weeks. The administration is endeavoring to harmonize all interests concerned in a compensation bill. This is of course a difficult thing to do, and it may be that the percentage demanded by Gompers cannot be allowed. There is | report that bituminous coal operators will not be satisfied with the proposed law and may offer a bill embodying what they believe to be a better scheme for compensating the injured. Whether the operators will go the ex tent of again trying to defeat all i compensation legislation, unless the | measure is exactly to their liking has I not developed.

But jist the same, it alnt very nlcfe to have the pluinnier dig up a ; gruesomo spectackle right under you, \ whether you knowed. about it or not, i and it's enough to givo anyone the ! shivers to think about. Harrlsburglers is all bet up about skeletons .list now. and most every old woman in town is wonderin whether she has one sleeping the iong sleep right under her washtubs. and liable to grunt and groan some dark nite when the men folks has gone to lodge.

Woodward, of the House ap-i propriations committee, he will intro duce the general appropriation bill In to the House on the night of March 1 when the State lawmakers reconvene after the recess begun yesterday. Mr. Woodward has been outlining the bill and as soon as possible after presen tation it will be recommitted to tho committee for completion. "I hope that the bill will go into the House in more than skeleton form," said lie. "It depends upon the esti mates from the department of the State government. 1 have asked them for their figures and a number have [responded. Others have given me as surance of what they desire. A great deal of help can be given by prompt response to these requests as we must take care of the governmental depart ments and find out what is actually needed and then take up the other bills." "It is estimated that over 300 ap propriation bills have reached the House appropriations committee, call ing for more than $25,000,000. The Legislative Reference Bureau is draw ing up many others which will be pre sented in March. This week the committeemen from the House are visiting: the smaller in stitutions and a number of inspections will be made next week, the large State institutions and those in the two big cities being left to the last.

Honey chairman of the Ho .so ways and means committee, yeeierday discussed a proposition to place coal companies under control of the Public Service Commission on the ground that they are purveyors of a utility. Just what will be done about it is not known, but it is thought that a bill will be drafted and shown to the Governor Amendment of the act imposing a tax of two and one-half cents on anthracite at the mines is likely to be made by the present Legislature, thus restoring the measure to the form in which it was drawn by Attorney Gen eral Francis Shunk Brown, who was counsel for the Commission to Con sider and Roport Upon a Revision of the Corporation and Revenue Laws of the Commonwealth as authorized by the Legislature of 1911. Friends of Attorney General Brown contend that the bill he drew waa amended on its passage through the last Legislature resulting in the prin cipal protests to its provisions. Gov ernor Brumbaugh said last week in an interview that he was opposed to the repeal of the law. and as a conse quence an effort will be made to amend the measure so that at least some of the objections will be removed. No amendment has as yet been suggested which will relieve the consumer of coal from the tax burden. That the Corporation and Revenue Commission, in framing the bill, real ized that the burden of taxation would fi*ll ultimately on the consumer Is re vealed by this clause in its report "We (Pennsylvania) have a monopoly on anthracite coal, and it must ho taken from us by those who consume it. Bituminous coal is produced in many other States, and a tax upon it would not be passed on to the con sumer. The price would be regulated still by competition with other States where no such tax is laid, and would j be in effect, merely an increase of the tax on land." In its original form the commission's bill provided that one-half of the tax collected should be returned to the county from where it was collected for the use. of that county. The amended act distributed the money returned by the State to the cities, boroughs and townships according to population. , Here Are a Few Things They Do With Electricity Hot Springs, Ark., will have a new White Way. Electric bulletin boards are now used by churches. Seven hundred houses were wired in Topeka, Kas„ last year. A large Chicago retail store em ploys 200 electric trucks for delivery service. Submarines ■utilize storage batteries and electricity for power when sub merged. There are more than 3,000 electric light companies serving the public in this country. A now starting device has been per fected for Ford cars by the General Electric Company. There are 14,102 telegraph stations in England and 87,000,000 messages were sent last year. The days of making brick by hand are no more. Electricity is now ex tensively usod in briekmaklng plants. Owing to the commandeering of nearly all gasoline trucks hi Europe for the various armies electric trucks are finding a ready market. Electric delivery wagons which are used by restaurants and caterers are equipped with electric heating de vices to keep food hot enroute. f -v I Twilight Sleep Treatment Still 111 Its Infancy Germany, Home of the Remedy, Is Naturally Far Ahead of the United States; Physicians Well Versed in Actions of the Powerful Narcotic Are Only Ones Capable of Producing | Successful Results; Specially Equipped Rooms and Abso lute Quiet Are Requisites H : 9 By Anna 11. Wood Dr. J. Whitredge Williams, Obste trician-in-chief of tlie Johns Hopk is Hospital in Baltimore has personally visited the Freiburg Frauenkllnik anil studied there the methods employed in the Twilight Sleep eases, lie was not favorably impressed. Knowing that it Is not customary for the Germans to use chloroform or ether in obstetrical cases, as is usually done in America, he considers the great interest shown in the morphine-scopolamin method is chiefly a desire on the part of the pa tients to escape pain at any cost. He also thinks that there seems to be a strong element of mental suggestion associated with it which accounts in part for its success aside from the direct influence from the drugs em ployed. Yet he confesses that the science of bringing new lives into the world has advanced very little within the past one hundred years and the average practitioner is not over capa- j ble in handling the subject. Despite his first prejudice, he is anxious to sec the system worked out successfully lin his hospital if possible. In this feel ing he is joined by medical men throughout the country. As Dr. C. C. Stouffer, of Harrisburg, said when ap proached on the subject, "I cannot say I approve of it, but — well, I am ready to be convinced." In almost every case the doctors agree that the Twilight Sleep method should not be tried outside of a hos pital because of the exceptional care needed. Many Cases Unsuccessful Out of 153 cases treated in the Long Island Hospital, Brooklyn, only two were not successful. During last sum mer the Jewish Maternity Hospitals of New York city treated about 100 j cases apiece. In Boston the Homeo-1 pathic Hospital has had almost 100 cases. In San Francisco a small pri vate hospital is doing considerable work along this line. The same is true of hospitals in Cleveland, St. Paul. Washington, Johnstown and other cities. Yet over against this the County Mpdical Society in Milwaukee passed a resolution against its use. However, every new idea must break and fight its way into public fa vor and prove its worth before it can HIGHWAY NEWS FDR INHOLE STATE What the Department Is Doing Is Set Forth in the Latest Departmental Issue The third issue of Pennsylvania Highway News, the official bulletin of the State Highway Department, is an attractive twenty-page paper dealing entertainingly with the workings of the various divisions of the department.

I Should the Twilight Sleep become ! popular in any country there is one great good which It will do, namely, the better training of the average practitioner—the middle priced man [ who is the family doctor for the mid dle priced public. To understand the Freiburg system requires from two to three years of special study and ob stetrics would then become one of the principal items in a medical course. I>r. Williams is quoted as authority for the statement that many medical schools are Inadequately equipped for their work and are each year turning loose on the community hundreds of young men whom they have failed to prepare properly for the practice of obstetrics and whose lack of training is responsible for unnecessary deaths of mothers and Infants, not to speak of a much larger number left invalided by poor treatment. This condition of affairs he blames largely upon the "ignorance of a long suffering public." Those who believe in the wonder and tho mercy of the Twilight Sleep hope that the day may come when it will be brought, down in price to with in the reach of the poorest patient in the charity ward. "But why?" asked a prominent lo cal physician when this was mention ed. "It is the cultured women who need it. They are highly organized, nervous, tempermental. The lower classes arc phlegmatic. These drugs would not act in the same way upon them." Perhaps not from a scientific point of view but a woman's, a woman for 'a that.! It remains to be seen if Mrs. C. T.

An attractive feature of the issue is the double-page road map of Penn sylvania showing the improvements that have been made on State high way routes. This map also gives the conditions of the State highway routes, showing whether they are good, fair or poor.

Five Freshets Noted on the Susquehanna A bulletin issued by the State Water Supply Commission to-day calls atten tion to the fact that there have been five notable freshets In the Susque hanna river watershed in the last six weeks, an unusual occurrence and duo to the heavy snows which have fallen during the winter. The streams in this watershed have approached a higher stage than has been the rule in re cent years. Advantage has been taken of these periods of high water to extend the State gauging system and a number of new stations are now in operation not only in the central but in«the eastern section of the State. They have been established at points along the Schuyl kill, Lehigh and Delaware rivers. prnr.ic SCHOOL, ENTERTAIN* MENT Duncannon, Pa., Feb. 18.—The mu sical department of the Duncannon public schools, under the direction of Miss Priscilla Duncan, will give a Washington's Birthday entertainment at the Photoplay Theater, here, on Monday, February 22.
