The Commissioner who investigated the subject of Workmen's Compensation and whose recommendations have been accepted with only alight modification as the basis of the Government bill. After three years' study and investiga- tion by Sir William Meredith, the \Vork- tnen's Compensation Act was introduced into the Legislature by Hon. 1 B. Lucas on Tuesdey last, All the best in the United States and European legislation, all that has been tried and tested by years of experience, has been combined in its provisions which make its several sections fit into the needs of the Province. The establishment of a State System of insur- ance to be administered by a Commission appointed by the Government, and whose expenses are to be paid out of the Pro- vincial Treasury, with Collective cont•i- / iZ, IB:bpP-A:-sv- Provincial Treasurer for Ontario, whet has charge of the Workmen's Com- pensation Bill during its passage through the House. have attained the age of 21 years. Pro- vision is also made in some cases to com- mute the annual payments into a "lump sum" to be paid in cash. A contractor who sub -contracts is liable for accidents to workmen employed by the sub -contrac- tor. Industrial diseases are also provided for. . This is where in some employments such as in tanneries, lead and chloride factories workmen are liable to contract diseases such as anthrax lead -poisoning, etc. The question of Workmen's Compen- sation has been taken up by the Whitney Government in a genuine desire of remedying long-standing grievances of that great class of wage•earners. The Government could not be stampeded into putting into a force a crude scheme, and they arc to be commended for the pains taken to have this problem rightly solved. The line between what we are in the habit of speaking of as justice and generosity is not a hard and fast one, and as selfish- ness gives warto enlightened self-interest and that in turn to something nobler, ustico will more nearly approach to benevolence. The c •mmunities that most sullen by employers to meet the whole earnestly try to give the wage-earnors a cost of compensation are the two leading fair deal will be the happiest. features of the Act. This State Board will consist of three members who are empowered to employ actuaries, inspectors, clerks, and physi- cians to assist them in carrying out the terms of the Act. The Provincial contri- bution will pay all these .officials, so that every dollar contributed by the employers will reach the workmen undiminished. All manufacturing establishments Will be divided into groups and each establish- ment will contribute annually a -percen- tage of its pay -roll to be placed in a joint fund. The more hazardous the nature of the trade or manufacture the higher -this percentage will be. The Common Law defences, in force at present are all swept away under the new Act. Heretofore an employer could plead in an action for damages three defences --common em- ployment, assumption of risk and contrib- utary negligence. Under the new Act nothing shall bar the employee from re- covering compensation but "serious and wilful misconduct." harmers, retailers and domestic servants are, for the present excluded from the operation of the Act. scaleof tom nsati n suggested -6 'Tie e o ) P ,? Sir William remains unchanged. Where there are no dependants, in case of death, the necessary medical and funeral expen- ses, not exceeding $75.00 will be paid. In case of total disability by accident the injured will receive for the remainder of his natural life a sum equal to 55°%, of his earnings during the previous year. The maximum earnings being $2000 per annum. Those earning over $2000 do not come under the Act. As an illustra- tion a parson earning $12 per week being permanently disabled would during the rent of his life receive $0.00 per week, In case of partial disability a proportion- ate part of this will be paid. In case of death by accident the widow, or the widow and children up to the number of four children shall receive 55 per cent. of the earnings of deceased. The children's share to terminate at the age of 10 yrs Should the widow re -marry then she is to receive a lump sum' of 2 years pay. If for example she were in receipt of $20 a month then her marriage portion would be $480 iu cash, and she -would cerise front further payments front the fund. No compensation is to be paid unless accident causes a disability of seven days. Manufacturers in many cases are giving strong opposition to this measure, as they fear it will mean increased payments, but under the present system of Liability In- surance only about $25 out of every $100 paid by the employer, hosts its way into tate !pockets of the employee. The bal. anei is swallowed up in agents' fees, law- tosts and officers' expenses Under the new Act every dollar paid by the ens. ptoyer will be paid to ilia employee, a* all expenses are to be paid by the Gov. ernraent, The government is going to vote $100,000 annually for all expenses connected with the fund. Ail agreements Made betw.,en employer and employee, as to compensation aro null and void.

"Beaters Down. • Is it to be understood that Sir William Mackenzie ' and Sir Donald Mann originally demanded $25,000,000 and that this nation's guardians finally beat them down to $40,- 000,000 or $50,000,000 ? Canada is protected at Ot- tawa by a Covernment and Opposition that serve as a powerful lot of "beaters down," The Borden Government is in danger of beating down its own following from this pro- vince more ably than it is l the R. dem down e C.

Toronto Telegram (Conservative) Wingham Factories Progress. The past year or more has been a very quiet time in various lines of manufaeturing,I and particularly eo the past six months, yet notwith- standing this, the two faetories in town, owned and operated by the Canada Furniture Manufacturers, Limited, have run steadily with the exception of ttvo weeks during the Christmas holidays, when general re- pairs were made. What appears to be an excellent thing for this com- pany, and also n. great boon for Wingham, occurred at the share- bolders meeting at the head office of the company in Toronto on the 0-h Inst., when that meeting ratified and appraveai of a plan, for the reorgani- sation of the company's finances, e b which had been prepared y a epeeist committee of the shareholders, where- by the preferred shares of the com- pany are to be upon a dividend paying basis and the proceeds of one million dollars of securities turned into the treasury of the company. This will Makes the Canada Furniture Mann• facturers, Limited, one of the titrong- -est financial industrial institutions in the land, This no doubt means that the two factories in Wingham will not only continue to give steady ens• ployment to so many teen in our town lent they will no doubt Boon enter upon rt period of development herr. Wingharn has been proud of them faetories under the able management of Mr, P Johnston and will welcotne thio news, which epells progrertt for Utitr to ern. Great $800 Prize Voting Contest Will Positively Close Tuesday, larch 31 No extension, no postponement, no delay, no deferred opportunity, no second chance. Now or nev- er the slogan of those who want to share in The Advance's Big Prize Distribution. Five days more and the Advance's Great $800 Prize Voting Contest will be a matter of history. The greatest prize distribution event that the people of Wingham and district have ever seen will be a thing of the past. The next five days wilt ustdoubtedly surpass In interest and activity on the part of the contestants and their friends, all the previous portion of the contest and the last day of the contest --next Tuesday—promises to witness a veritable whirlwind of ex- citement. Who will be the winners? That ie a question that no one can answer•with any degree of certainty. Mies Margaret Pocock, who jumped to the front_a week ago is still at the head of the list, and is going strong. Miss Pocock is fortunate in having several friends who are working enthusiastically to make her the winner of the capital prize. She is the winner of the 810 cash prize this week, and if the good work in her behalf continues until the end of the contest she is sure to make things interesting for every other contender. No more earnest worker has taken part in the contest than Miss Maude Fleuty, who by persistent effort has kept piling up votes and is now in second place with total of 2.40,000 votes and only 0,800 behind the leader. Miss Fleuty will be a strong finisher. She has carefully mapped out her campaign and there are many subscrip- tions which she will be sure to get by next Tuesday night. Arany of her friends are taking a keen interest in her candidacy, too, and with tite support she ie assured of, anything may be expected from her. Miss Frances Davis, who was in first position the latter part of last week nod early this week, dropped to third place on Tuesday's voting. It is known, however, that Miss Davis has been working hard right along, and for that reason the other contestants are suspicious that she "has something tip her sleeve." Whether. she has or not remains to be seen, but in any event it would appear that Misi Davis has too many friends and is herself too hard a worker to be satisfied with third place in the race, and it is hardly likely that she will remain there if it is within her power to finish higher up. These three candidates are pretty web grouped, and when it is considered what one or two "combination" subscriptions will do in the way of increasing votes, it can be seen that the difference between any two of these three contestants is very little indeed. Mr. G. C. Walker, Mise Alice Gillespie and Miss Pearl Todd occupy, fourth, fifth and sixth positions respectively. These three contestants are also closely grouped. While they are some 100,000 behind the first group every one of them is a most earnest worker and their friends say they will at least pull up a great deal closer to the leading trio even if one of them does not come out on top. And it is certainly not too much to expect one of them to do that very trick, as combination subscriptions have enormdus voting power and five such subscriptions for three years would put any one of the second group in the lead. It is a fact which every oontestant and his or her friends should recognize, that no contestant now has enough votes to assure his or her position at the end of the contest. There are still five working days left of the contest and within that brief time even, any contestant can poll a tremendous vote. No contestant. who wants to win should take anything for granted, either that he or she can wilt or can not win. The voting power of combination subscriptions is so great that any contestant who now concentrates his or her attention on this class of business may completely upset the calculations of the wise ones who are now picking the winners At this stage of the race no one can predict with any degree of certainty who the winners will be.

NOMINATIONS CLOSE THURSDAY In order to protect those who are now actively engaged in the contest, and to prevent any dark horse from taking any unfair advantage of those who have already done so much• faithful work, the contest nominations will be closed to day, (Thursday)and no one will be able to enter the contest after to -day. There is however en excellent opportunity for any new contestant to start to -day and win a prize. Some of the candidates bave done little indeed and if they do not improve their position very materially within the remaining five days of the contest it will be4he easiest thing in the world for any live wire to beat them out.

Very successful and interesting missionary rerviees were held in the Methodist Church last Sunday morn- ing and eveuing. Large congrega- tions gathered at both services, when the Rev, Dr. Endicott, General Foreign Missionary Secretary, of the Methodist Church gave two very in. teresting and unique addressee. The morning subject was "The establish- ment of the Christian Church in Foreign Lands." The evening subject was "The challenge of the Orient to the Christian Ceiturch."

It cause as a great shock to St. Paul's congregation on Sunday last, when the Rev. Edgar H.
