ANN SHERIDAN HEADS CAST IN ONE OF DOUBLE FEATURES FRIDAY, SATURDAY, GRAND A double feature program is booked for the Grand Theatre on Friday and Saturday of this week, in which Geo. O’Brien stars in a sparkling werstern drama full of thrills, entitled, “Racket- eers of the range,” and the other at- traction is something worth while. It stars Ann Sheridan and Pat O’Brien in “Indianapolis Speedway, and is hailed as one of the most exciting and romantic films ever brought to’ the screen. It forcefully depicts all the lure of the great American sport of auto racing on world famed tracks. The story concerns the efforts of Pat O’Brien champion race driver to make John Payne his younger brother, continue with college, and not follow in his own footsteps. But John is bit- ten by the racing bug and his added romantic interest in Ann Sheridan, whom Pat dislikes, causes the brothers to feud, climaxing in a race in which Pat’s best frend, Frank McHugh, is killed in a spectacular crash. The acci- dent breaks Pat. He gives up racing and vanishes. The tale and story will hold your interest. See the double fe- ature at the Grand on Friday and Sat- urday nights. ALL ABOARD. All roads lead to San Francisco next week for the second. annual national convention of the Congress of Indus- trial Organizations which will open at that city on October 10th. EXPECT NEW OCCUPA. TIONAL DISEASE LAW’S ACCEPTANCE IN PENNA. Harrisburg.—The department of la- bor and industry is geared to handle “general acceptance” of the 1939 leg- islature’s new occupational disease compensation law which became eff- ective on Sunday. Lewis G. Hines, labor and industry secretary, said he had directed the Workmen's Compensation Bureau to administrate the occupational disease law in conjunction with the Work- men’s Compensation Act. The two types of Workmen's benefits were lumped in a single statute by the 1937 legislature and separated this year. Hines disclosed the department had received some rejections of the new occupational disease law and that he expected more. “I anticipate general acceptance of both the Compensation Act and the occupational disease law by Pennsylva- nia industry eventually,” the labor and industry secreatry added. He pointed out that a large portion of rejectors of the 1937 Compgnsation Act already have returned to the program under the 1939 legislature’s modification of the benefit scale. Industry contended that the “liber- alized” 1937 scale increased its com- pensation costs far in excess of 100 per cent and rejected it on a whole- sale basis. The new compensation scale reduced benefits to about 25 per cent above the pre-1937 level, Wilson estimated. The occupational disease law sets up a $100,000 fund from which the state will pay half the cost of com- pensation for two years. The em- ployer’s share will be increased by 10 | per cent stages until he bears the en- | tire cost after October 1, 1949. | Occupational diseases are defined to include miners’ asthma, silicosis, asbes. tosis, “bends,” from work under com- pressed air, ailments attributable to contact with radio active substances, apithelionatous cancer or ulceration from tar and similar substances, an- thrax, skin inflammation from oils and dusts and phosphorous burning. Maximum compensation for silicos- is, miners’ asthma and asbestosis death or total disability is fixe dat $3,600. The disability must occur within a year after the last day of employment on a job where exposure to these dis- eases exists. The applicant for death or total disability payments must prove the victim was employed in in- dustries where exposure existed for four or eight years preceding. Employers who have rejected the act to date have posted notice of their action in their plants. All others are liable for compensation benefits. Benefits for ailments other than those in the respiratory group, are limited to $7,500. Maximum disability payments are $18; minimum payments $9, as in the injury compensation act. An absolute “bottom’ 'of $5 a week is fixed for employees earning less than $9. The employer is obligated for $150 in medical benefits during the first 60 days after disability and he must pay hospital costs. The act sets up a schedule of ben- efits for loss of fingers, arms, legs, hands and parts of eact® attributable to poisons and other occupational ha- zards. Card of Thanks, We wish, in this manner, to express our heartfelt appreciation to all who ‘assisted us in our recent bereavement, the illness an ddeath of our son, Jo- seph, for the floral offerings, etc., and use of cars at the funeral—Joseph Sunseri and Family. | Mew, TYPEWRITERS rn Hicial Remington-Rand Portable Agency Account Books, Ledger sheets, All-Facts Busi. sess Record Bks, Loose-Leaf Outfits, Duplin cator Needs, Calendars, Advertisin Neveltios Seavling Mashuas & Staples for All machines ypewriter Ribbons 50¢ Salesbooks & Typewriter & Adding Rain: SE es EAGLE PRINTING CO.
