HAS TROiJBLE

I GETTING SETTLEMENT Industrial Board Tells of Hardships Placed Upon . Working Men. TIMES BUREAU AT STATE C AFITAL1 INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. June 21 The state industrial board has been experiencing difficulty in getting prompt and ' satisfactory settlement of compensation drains from several insurance companies Mho are writing compensation insurance in Indiana. Occurrences are becoming too frequent where the secretary of the board has to explain to Injured workmen wno come to the state office to pet a 'settlement with, trie insurance company" that this company or that company does not maintain a claim department jn thia state, and consequently the handling of claims ly these companies takes a little longer time. There " is no excuse why compensation claims ennnot be raid within the prescribed time. The law provides that the board be notified of an accident within seven days, and that on the fourteenth day '. after the accident compensation payments shall commence. Generally the insurance companies receive notice from their asiureda within "a very few days after the accident has happened. In the majority of case's, the company has a week or ten days to make all necessary investigations before the " day on which the payment is due. By delaying compensation, the hardsips attending an injury are greatly increased. Long delays, sometimes running into months, has caused the board to warn - several companies that it will exercise its power to revoke its approval of policy terms if the companies do not ray their claims more promptly. The Zurich Insurance Company, Chicago ffice; Southern Surety Co., Des Moines, la.; American Mutual Liability Insurance Co.. Chicago office; Integrity Mu- " tual Liabiltty Insurance Co., Chicago of"fice; and 'Western Indemnity Co., Dennitton. Tex , were among some of the companies that the board called to task for failure to make rrorr.pt settlements. The chief difficulty in getting the Insurance companies to take better care of their claims, is the fact that some of them do not have a claim office in Indienn, Investigations by mall are alow ar.d unsatisfactory both to the insurance - carrier and to the injured party, but as some companies do not have a claim effice nearer than Chicago, they attempt to handle claims by correspondence, resulting in unnecessary delay and poor service. Personal investigations from the offices of the insurance companies who maintain claim departments here, result In prompt payments to the injured person, in every case where liability is not denied, and materially lessens the number of cases which would go before the board In those instances ivh'i-e the accident is given a desultory investigation by mail. The companies have been urged by th board to establish claim offices in Indiana, in order to expedite the handling of claim matters and getting quicker relief to the injured workman. The following letter was sent to a Chicago office by one of these companies, ! ar.d a few days afterward the company established a local claim office: j "We wish to advise that the industrial board is contemplating exercising the authority conferred upon it by the amendment of Section 73 of the compensation act in the revocation of its approval of your policy form. The board contemplates this action fer the reason that your service in this state does not meet with Its approval. The method of long waiting payment of compensation in this state does not and has not given the injured employe covered by your policies, the benefit of the Indiana workmen's compensation law. Tour procrastination is absolutely unpardonable. If you wish o avoid this action on the part of the board, it will be necessary for you, without delay, to take steps to install within the state a capable claim department which will redeem your company from its present record." Similar letters to other companies will be sent out if the proper attention to claims is not manifest within a very thort time. THE TIMES FINANCIAL COLUMN -Aj&x Rubber .

The radical element of the American Federation of Labor was again overwhelmingly defeated when the convention, after bitter debate, voted against a resolution asking for the general release of approximately 2.000 persons convicted under the espionage act during the war. The federation went on record as disapproving the repeal of the e.pionags act until after the peace treaty uas signed, despite bitter and Inflammatory speeches by the radicals. It was recommended that In some cases reduction of sentences be granted, but It was emphaticaly not the sense of the convention that there should be a general delivery. Wm.

They were all hustled into the patrol wagon and taken to the police station. One of the young ladles tried to got Judge Cohen on the phone so he could go their bond. He couldn't be found so they got Judg RMland. and later Mr. J. r. Lees of the Inland Steel Works was called out. Ater going through the usual form of making and signinsr bends, and after they were scared to death, they were informed that it was all a Joke and that it was their initiation into the Kapa-Kapa-Kapa Society. THOUSANDS HEED GOODRICH CALL The response to the Goodrich "more mileage" message has been unusual and far-reaching according to W. O. Rutherford, second vice-president of the B. F. Goodrich. Rubber company, in charge of sales. Commenting on reasons why the adjustment on Safety Treads was plated at .noo and Silvertowna at S.OOO. Mr. Rutherford stated: "Goodrich is mak!-.g the burliest, sturdiest, most lasting t-rs the rubber Industry has ever seen and Goodrich knows it. "In every test of road roughing to which tires can be put. Goodrich Tires have unfolded an endurance and ability to take punishment which is run into phenomenal mileage. "Confident in this knowledge and belief Goodrich desires that aU tire users share in the confidence of Goodrich, and the big mileage Goodrich tires assure. "Therefore. Goodrich announced to dealers and users beoa-ise of the future owners of its Pneumatic Tires an adjustment basis of 6.000 miles on Safety Treads. 8.000 miles on Silvertown Cords, instead of 3,500 ar.d 5.000 respectively, heretofore in force. "In every case the Goodrich adjustment is a fair one and Goodrich knows the mileage is in its tires and more, and to make you realize you lose money in being without Goodrich Tires, the new Goodrich announcement Is proclaimed far and wide through newspapers. "In all the history of the Goodrich Company and all the history of our newspaper advertising we have never had such a spontaneous response showing the confidence that both Goodrich dealers and car owners have In the B. F. Goodrich Ruber company and the way in which our company has always locked after their interests, first, last and all the time. "The newspapers are the "Foch" method of advertising and in this case they have proven a mighty effective instrdument of advancement of Goodrich interests among dealers and car owners."

m0 SPECIAL

SESSION OF ASSEMBLY Goodrich Will Not Call Legislature to Consider Suffrage. BY RAY O. WIKER (STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N . SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. June 21. Despite reports and stories to the effect that Governor James P. Goodrich will call a special session of the Indiana State legislature to ratify the Susan B. Anthony, federal suffrage amendment, it Is practically certain that the chief executive will not take this action. Although the governor has wired governors of other states, asking their attitude en special sessions of legislatures to ratify the suffrage amendment, bo that the women may vote at th next presidential flection, it does not signify that he will call the assembly into extraordinary session for this purpose. Governor Goodrich has not announced the text of replies to his message, but Governor Burnquist. of Minnesota, who sent out similar raesages. has been assured by governors of twenty-one states that they are in fa. vor of such action. The main reasons for Indiana not taking such action is that two elections will be necessary before a special session of the legislature can be held. These elections were made necessary by the appointment of two members of the Mate legislature to state positions. An election would have to be held In Alien and PeKalb counfies to r.ame a successor to State Senator Glenn Van Auken, who is now a member of the Indiana Public Service Commission. Van Auken was first appointed a member of the industrial board, but later was switched over to the service commission. Another election would have to b held in Kosciusko county to fill the place made vacant by the appointment of Jesse Eschbach, speaker of the house of reprsesentatives, ach chief examiner of the state board of accounts. These two elections would have to be held before the state legislature could be called into special session, and it Is t very doubtful if these elections could be held; successors to the state legislators elected, and the legislature called into session in time to grant women the vote in 1920. if the ratification of the amendment by Indiana is needed to grant the women the vote. NOTICE! Special meeting of Garfield lodgls will be held Monday evening at 7:80 o'clock. The entered apprentice degee will be conferred. ERNEST S. TILLMAN. W. M.

Particular note has beeo made of the brilliant work of the catcher, who by the way met with a very embarrassing incident during the game, there seems to be considerable doubt as to the direct cause of the incident but V'e final analysis was that someone flew to one of the department stores and made a purchase at the notion counter, resulting in the said player having to be convoyed to his home by auto. The Strawberry Picker was playing also, but w&en the ball was batted out in his direction he assumed the role of looking among the vines instead of observing; the elcy Lines. The Operating Department played a good game, being more or less seasoned players, winning by the score of 15 to 5. the only objection registered was to the effect of the unbiased decisions
