pensated for on the basis of the av
erage annual earnings at the time
of the last injury; and if a perma
nent total disability results, the com
pensation therefor shall be two
thirds of that for permanent total
disability in other cases.
Burial benefits are provided in all
fatal cases, not exceeding $150; jf
total dependents survive, benefits are
payable in an amount equal to 300
times 6G 2-3 per cent of the average
weekly wages, payable in install
ments, at the rate of not less than
$6 nor more than $20 per week.
Disability payments made prior to
death are to be deducted from this
amount. Partial dependents, if no
total dependents survive, receive
benefits proportionate to the sup
port given them by the deceased
worker. Benefits to children cease
at 18 years of age and to a widow
on her death or remarriage, but if
there be other dependents the un
paid balance may be awarded them.
Insurance is required, though self
insurance is permitted. Provisions
of policies and premium rates must
be approved by the superintendent
of the insurance department. Sub
stitute schemes offering equivalent
benefits are permitted, and if em
ployees contribute they must receive
corresponding added benefits there
from.
A compnsation commission of
three members is provided for to
administer the act, but voluntary
agreements are permitted, valid only
after approval by the commission.
Provision is made for rehearings
and reviews with appeals to court
on designated grounds, “and no
other.” The expense of administra
tion is to be met by a tax on pre
miums and an equivalent levy on
substitute schemes and self-insurers.
CANADIAN INDIANS
BARRED FROM U. S.
ORDER OF BUREAU
British Columbia Indians According
to U. S. Immigration Ruling Is
Barred From Crossing U. S.
VICTORIA, B. C., June 11.—Local
transportation officials were sur
prised today by an announcement
from United States immigration of
ficials here that aboriginal inhabi
tants of Canada were to be treated
with the class of races not eligible
to American citizenship and they
are not admissible into the United
States. It was stated the intima
tion of the new order from Wash
ington had come through the com
missioner of immigration at Seattle.
The result of this ruling is that
the right exercised from immemorial
days of Indians crossing the border
has been suspended. Owing to the
close relation of the Indians of Brit
Lsh Columbia and Washington State,
the aborigines have been accustomed
to travel freely to one another’s re
serves and to migrate seasonally for
fruit picking, fishing and hop-pick
ing industries on this coast.
Indian Commissioner W. E. Ditch
burn today telegraphed to Ottawa
and pointed out how serious the
embargo would be to the Indians
of the coast reservations. He asked
to have representatives made to
Washington.

Province of British Columbia,

Section 5 Page 9, Sub-Division B.
“The fee for a salmon trap-net,
either staked or floating, shall be
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS, and
in addition, one-half cent for each
salmon, including steelhead (salmo
rivularis), taken under authority of
the said license.”
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Many people discount everything:
that is said by a preacher, and yet
even to such persons the following
article should be a challenge. Move
than two thousand persons listened
to Rev. Clinton Wunder, of Roches
ter, New York, give an address, of
which we are reprinting that part
which seems of universal applica
tion. His theme might be called The
Church honestly applying itself to
daily life and the evils which it
must solve.
Holds Church Responsible
Mr. Wunder appealed first for
peace between the citizens of this
nation and called upon the church
to take the lead in maintaining har
monious relations between the in
terests that claim allegiance to the
American flag by setting an ex
ample of peace within itself.
‘‘The church,” he said, “must aid
our government to teach that all
who live here are Americans who
have a right to the same privileges
and upon whom are imposed the
common duties and loyalties of citi
zenship. We cannot be a party 1o
any plan that thrives on intolerence,
