COMPENSATION
Commissioner Meredith
Presents His Draft Bill.
Follows Lines of His In-
terim Report.
Toronto, Ont., ::%Ittreh 17.- Sir Wm.
Meredith, at the session of the commis -
b1011. of workmen's compensation held
to -day at the Parliament Buildings, plac-
ed before the different representatives a
draft bill of a wido and comprehensive
nature. The ecales of eompeneatioh were
left out of the bill, to be filled in, as
well ag Oe waiting period, but the- leg-
islation is the logical continuttnee. of
hie interim report. The evidence has all
pointed in toe careetion of a scheme
whe•reby the Government was to ap-
point a -Board of Commissioners for ad-
ministration of the legislation. That au
accident fund would be provided by an
assessment upon the yearly wage roll
of the employer, and compensation
would be paid automatically to the loeur-
ed. and to the dependants by the Board,
was the main feature. The question of
fault upon the part of the workman
would be entirely, or almost, and all ac-
cident would be, compensated for in the
draft bill, whieli Of eour-se is a tenative
one. The scheme is outlined clearly, and
the nature of it ean be easily seen by
quoting the main elause..As pointed out,
i i
it is a compreheneive me re which was
read before the represe ives.
"Where in any employment personal
injury by accident arising out of the
course of employment is caused to a
stesekinan, his employer ehall be liable to
p•rovide or to pay eompeneation in the
Ina -liner, and to the extent hereinafter
mentioned, except the injury does not
dieable the workman for a period of at
least (number of days to• be filled in
later) from earning full wages at the
work at whit+ he was employed, and
where the remittent is attribistable sole-
-ly to the serious and wilful mieconduct
of the Workman,. mikes the injury re -
suite in death or serious disablement.'
'Where compensation for disability is
payable, it &tall be computed and. be
payable from the date of the disabil-
ity."
"Where the place or elder plaec of an
employer is situated in Ontario and an
accident happens while the Workman is
employed elsewhere than in Ontario,
will el t AvOlild entitle hint Or llis depelld-
aniS to compensation under •thie Act if
it had happeeed-in Ontario, the work-
man and ltis dependants shall be enti-
tled to compensation under this Aet, ;1
the ueual place of employment of the
werkman is in Ontario and. his employ.
mita out of Ontario has lasted lesa then
eix months."
"There are hereby eommisiouere for
the administration of this Aet, to be
called. the Worknien'e Cempensation
Board, which shall consiet of three mem.
bers to•be apointed by the Lieut. -Gover-
nor -in -Council, and shalt be a. body time
porate."
THE COMMISSTONER'S WORDS.
"With regard to the general principles
of this bill; said Sir William Meredith.
"every workman should be entitled to
compeueation for injuries arising out of
his employment either by (ligeag0 or ac-
cident. I propoeed to divide the enee
ployers into two elaeses, one of whieh
will be scheduled, and these classes will
be .erouped and classified along the lines
whielt hes been followed."
Sir William pointed out that he in-
cluded some industrial diseases, and lu
commenting on the matter, steted: "It
seems to be a monstrone• proposition,
that, for instance. if a man eontraeta
anthrax in a tannery. he should.not bd
compensated the same as a man who
met with an accident
"1 have in the main adopted the Euse
list' net, with certain ehangel to fit the
present seheme."

Thomas Seullen, president of the

dress Wag delivered, presided at the

by Dr. Rosneau, of Washaigton, eetting
forth the discovery that infection with

fact that infection is caused by the fly,

The importance of this discovery by
Dr. Flexner, as related to the possible
reduction from infantile paralysis, lies in
the probability that, now that the
virus has been identified and with the
other. knowle-dge acquired through hie
experiments, the treatment of the dis-
ease may proceed along more definite
lines, and the discovery of a serum
for the yore of it may be looked upon

FOR BETTER BODIES
Physical Education Con-
gress Meets in Paris.
Paris, March 17. -The International
Congress of Physical Education, op-
ened to -day by Presh7.:ut Poincare in
the Amphitheatre of the Sorbonne,
brought together delegates from most
of elle' European countries.
In the course of the sessions ath-
letes from Sweden, Italy, Germany,
Denmark and Belgium are to give de-
monstrations on the platform of the
theories and methods of. various pro-
fessors of physical training.
The congress has been divided into
.sections which will study the physio-
logical effects of natural and arti-
ficial movements, training for witr„
boxing, athletic sports, games, amuse-
ments and the influence of sports on
women, particularly mothers, and
therefore on the human race.
Mme. Girard Mangin, who is taking
a very active part in the women's
section, declares that girls are not
given a fair chance to develop them-
selves in stre-agth, health and grace.

POLITICAL SCHEME
Is Plan to Cut Blenheim
Park Into Farms.
f.:aren Duke or
Marlborough's announced intention of
placing 1,000 acres or meadow land,
forming part of his estate at Blen-
heim, under the plow, has attracted
great attention here. The Duke, who
owns 19,685 acres, has chosen this
m.ethod or waging a campaign against
what he believes to be the present
Liberal Government's intention 'of in-
troducing legislation in the direction
of the nationalization or the land in
the British Isles.
The Duke of Marlborough argues
that a private landlord can admin-
ister his land more cheaply and ef-
ficiently than the state could do, and
he will endeavor to demonstrate his
theories. He declares' that he could
employ a greater number of laborere,
pay theem better wages and produce
a. greater amount toward supplying
food to" the nation by intensive cut
tur6 than would be possible under
state administration.
