RUNS THREE-DAY
HURRICANE ON
THE HIGH SEAS
Galesburg Docks With Twen
ty-one Casuals of Twenty-
Ninth Division
Philadelphia, April 1.- —After en
countering a hurricane that lasted
three days, the steamer Galesburg,
an army cargo carrier, bringing
21 casuals of the 42d sanitary
squad, 29d division in charge of Ma
jor Ralph E. Balchm, Kalamazoo.
Mich., of the medical corps, docked
here yesterday.
The vessel bore evidence of a se
vere struggle with heavy seas. One
lifeboat was washed overboard, a
masthead light was gone and the
decks were covered with water the
greater part of the time. During the
height of the storm, the soldiers,
under orders of Captain Herman
Doyle, commander of the vessel,
donned life jackets and wore them
continuously.
The squad was made up of units
from National Guard companies
mobilized at Camp McClellan in the
early part of the war. They arrived
in France, July 15, 1918, and were
sent to the front lines three days
later in time to take part in the
Chateau Thierry drive. The unit also
saw service in the Alsace and Ar
gonne sectors.
The ship left Bordeaux March 12.
Two Bills to Blot Out
German in the Schools
The Senate committee on educa
tion. this morning reported out two
bills concerning the teaching of
German in the public and normal
schools of the State.
Both the measures would elim
inate the German langauge as a fea
ture of the school curriculum. One
of the measures sponsored by Rep
resentative Mallory, Venango, would
compel all schools to give instruc
tion in the English language. The
other, fathered by Representative
Davis, Indiana, would prohibit the
teaching of German.
The committee upon education
had scheduled a hearing on the
measures for this morning, upon
the request of Senator Sliantz, Le-'
high, but no person appeared to
oppose the measures. Senator
Shantz let it be understood that he
would have something to say on the
floor of the Senate in regard to the
bills.

TUESDA'Y EVENING,
DEBS THREATENS
TO CALL STRIKE
OF HIS PARTY
Says Action Will Be Taken to
Enforce Demands For
Rehearing
Akron. Ohio, April I.—Eugene V.
Debs, Socialist leader, threatens to
call a general strike of his party
throughout the country unless he is
granted a rehearing in the courts on
charges upon which he was convict
ed under the espionage act.
When shown the report of the de
cision of the Supreme Court Debs
said:
"That means that by Mav 1, the
day on which I begin my sentence, a
general strike will have culminated.
It must not be forgotten that that
day is the Labor Day of the world.
On that day I had been assured that
if the Supreme Court had not ruled
by that time more than 5,000 labor
meetings would have been held ask
ing for my release.
"The miners of my own State, In
diana, will start the strike. These
men came to nie at my home in
Terra Haute before 1 started on my
last speaking tour and told me that
from the day 1 to the peniten
tiary there would be no more coal
mined in Indiana until the day I
was released.
"The movement will undoubtedly
begin at once."
Debs was confined to bed with a
bad attack of lumbago at the home
of Mrs. Margaret Prevey, here, when
notified the United States Supreme
Court had refused him a rehearing.
Illinois is third with 21,727,000
acres, or about three-sevenths of her
land area.
lowa in fourth place is very close
to Illinois with 21,613,000 acres,
which is about three-sevenths of her
land area.
The aggregate crop acreage in
clude those of corn, wheat, barley,
oats, rye, buckwheat, potatoes, sweet
potatoes, tobacco flax rice, hay, cot
ton, peanuts kafirs beans, broom

MACKEY EXPLAINS
COMPENSATION LAW
CHANGES PROPOSED
Explaining to the legislative com
mittee having in charge proposed
amendments to the workmon's com
pensation law, Harry A. Mackey,
chairman of the bureau, went at
length into the changes contem
plated, saying that while the amend
ments submitted hnd been carefully
considered, they were not to be
considered the ideas of the admin
istration. He said the Governor de
sired the fullest discussion of the
amendments and suggested that the
hearing be confined to the acquiring
of information and that debate be
delayed until a later date.
It is the desire of the bureau to
be made a department of the State
government, free from regulation
by the State Department of Labor
and Industry, of which it is now a
part.
He said that while farm and do
mestic labor have been excepted in
the amendments proposed, they may
be included by special agreement.
Benefits have been advanced under
the new act to about sixty per cent,
and insurance rates thirty per cent.,
which amounts to an advance of
about one cent for each ten dollars
produce.
Minimum weekly benefits are in
creased from $5 to $6.50, and max
imum from $lO to $13.50, while
widows are to have benefits for
100 instead of 300 weeks and upon
remarriage are to be given in a
lump sum an amount not exceeding
one-third of the benefits duo her
had she remained unmarried.
Grandparents and grandchildren are
to be included in the act. Totally
disabled workmen who live beyond
the 500-week period are to be con
tinued as beneficiaries for the re
mainder of their lives at twenty-five
per cent, the amount due them un
der the act up to the 500-week
limit.
Overtime is to be reckoned in
the fixing of the weekly wage and
other changes of a more or less im-'
portant character are also included.
"It is prefectly apparent that the
workmen of Pennsylvania are to
day urging three definite changes
in the act of 1915," said Mr.
Mackey.
"Hirst. An increase in the rate of
compensation.
"Second. A longer period of med
ical service, and
"Third. A shorter waiting period,
this being the time after an acci
dent during which medical service
is alone supplied and no compensa
tion paid.
"Obeying the instructions of the
Governor, the attorney and the
chairman of the board have pre
pared a tentative draft along these
lines and summoned to our assist
ance actuarial experts in order to
place before you, all the informa
tion at our command. I want it
distinctly understood that we have
adopted certain proposed rates and
the purpose of presenting the prob
lem and in order to furnish the
RARRISBCnRO
necessary data in support of the
same that the subject may be in
telligently presented and widely dis
cussed.
"We desire further to make it
perfectly clean that this proposed
bill, as far as schedules are con
cerned, while it may represent the
individual thought of the drafters as
to an adequate and just bill, based
upon a study of Pennsylvania's con
ditions and the precedents establish
ed in neighboring states, neverthe
less they are not our official acts not
must they be considered as sugges
tions of the administration. From
the moment that this conference is
open, the board will not participate
in its deliberation, as an advocate
of any schedule, but will stand
ready to furnish any further infor
mation which we may have.
Procedure Act
"As to Article 4—we have drawn
what we consider an admirable pro
cedure act, based upon our experi
ence in the administration of the
act of 1915 and in accordance with
the suggestions contained in many
opinions of the courts of Pennsylva
nia. Our effort has been to produce
an elastic, nontechnical and under
standable method of administering
a compensation law. We feel that
there is little room for argument
over the wisdom of the various pro
visions of this article and as to the
same, the board will assume the re
sponsibility of being their sponsor.
We suggest that copies of this act
be distributed to all the interests
present and that a further explana
tion of each section be made now
and that opportunity be afforded to
ask any questions as to the purpose
and effect of any provision in the
bill, and when this information has
been acquired, that this meeting be
adjourned for one week so that
representatives of the employers
may have an opportunity to confer
and to become advised as to how far
►they can go to meet the demands
of the representatives of the em
ployes."
"Society's neglect of the industrial
cripple is in no degree compatible with
the pretentions of our civilization,"
said Mr. MRckey. "Notwithstanding
that the wheels of industry have for
years been turning out their annual
quota of "human cripples it required
the patriotic impulses incident to a
great war to focus public attention
upon the subject of rehabilitation and
to visualize the possibilities of the res
toration of functional ability. The
Board for some time had been in a
small way endeavoring to teach the
lesson that victory over handicap is
man's greatest conquest. The time has
arrived, however, when it is impera
tively necessary that the State should
render assistance to those who in their
intensive occupations have suffered such
injury that they are no longer able to
prosecute their old occupations. This
liability should not fall upon the em
ployer but is a State-wide obligation.
An efficient workman is an asset to his
state but when misfortunte has taken
from him efficiency he is changed into
a liability. Massachusetts has pased
a Rehabilitation Act, while a bill re
cently unanimously passed the Senate
of Now Jersey which in our*.judgment
is a model for Pennsylvania to follow.
Therefore, the Workmen's Compensa
tion Board is somewhat ambitious to
have our State really blazon the way
so that when misfortune overtakes the
workman and when the first realisation
of his plight has been brought io his
mind, that through his state's effective
instrumentalities there will be ,ield out
hope and cheer. The clouds of despond
ency will be dispelled and during the
period of convalescence that this man
will be given the opportunity of re
accommodating himself in his crippled
condition to new avenues of industry.
"We then are proposing that our
Board shall have full control and jur
isdiction over the injured workman,
with his consent of course, from the
time that the report of his accident
reaches us until his compensation has
been secured by agreement or award
and we finally return him to his home
rehabilitated to industrial proficiency.
We have drafted a departmental bill,
another one conferring upon the De
partment of Workmen's Compensation
the power to direct the rehabilitation
of physically handicapped persons, and
also propose by legislation to make this
Department self sustaining, and to re
turn a surplus each year to the State
Treasury."
