BOTH PARTIES AGREE TO
PASSAGE OK FEDERAL
EMPLOYES' COMPENSATION
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WASHINGTON. August 2. — Pas
sage of a Workmen’s compensation
act for government employes, on lines
suggested by the American Kedera
tion of Labor, today was agreed on by
Democratic anil Republican leaders.
For six years it has gone through,
all the stages of congressional action
except final passage. Something al-1
ways stopped it there. This yeac a,ei
federation demanded of both conven
tions the passage of the bill before
congress adjourned to take up the
Fall campaign, on pain of tin* federa
tions doing a little campaigning it
self.
The bill provides, in case of:
Death—thirty-five per cent of
wages to widow or widower, until
their death or remarriage, with 10 per
cent additional for each dependent
child.
Total disability—Two thirds of
wages, in no case to be less than
$.*vUU> monthly.
Partial Disability—Two thirds or
the difference between wages earned
before and after injury. Refusal of
a partially disabled man to do what
work he can do makes him ineligible
to any payment.
Medical care for a reasonable time
after an injury is suffered in govern
ment service is provided; and in case
of death. $100 for funeral expense is
allowed.
Intoxication or wilful carelessness
on duty makes a federal employe in
eligible to benefits under the act.
BODY OF MAN IS
FOUND IN WOODS
JUNEAU.—The body of a man
thought to be E. Schwaab. an old (
man, who disappeared from Juneau j
several months ago, was found in the
woods near Lemon creek this morning
In H. P. Crowther and Victor Man
ville, who were running a survey line. |
The body was brought to town this
afternoon by Charles Hensel, of the
C. W. Young Undertaking Parlors
and Deputy Marshal James Manning.
When found the body was in the
woods 200 yards from the road and a
half mile beyond the Davis cabin.
The hod\ was lying face up with one
leg doubled under and with an empty
bottle which smelled of whiskey lying
near. There was no evidence of foul
play and it looked to be a clear case
of suicide.—Empire.

V/TADE of indestructible Asbestos (Rock) Fibre

proofer, J-M Asbestos Ready Rooting is literally a 1
pliable stone. Fire, acids, gases, chemical fumes, g
heat or cold have no effect upon it. It is therefore |
practically indestructible. g
And because of its^stone nature, J-M Asbestos I
Rooting never needs painting or graveling. Its first I
cost is its only.cost. Asbestos being a non-conductor
of heat and cold, this rooting keeps a building warm
in winter and cool in summer.
Think what a protection J-M Asbestos Roofing wou 1 d
be to your building and what is would save you in paint
