THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1909

COMPROMISE MADE BY OJEIIOERSON State Made the Offer to Former Auditor and He Accepted Promptly.

SUIT IS NOW DISMISSED TATE OF INDIANA ALLEGED THAT HENDER80N HAD WRONGFULLY RETAINED FEES WHICH HE HAD COLLECTED. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Nov. 20. J. Oscar Henderson has paid the state of Indiana $10,000 and the suit against him for the recovery of more than $20,000 In fees which the state said be wrongfully retained while he was auditor of state, has been dismissed by the state. The state offered to compromise for $10,000 and Henderaon accepted the offer. The offer to compromise made by the state was signed by the governor, auditor of state and attorney general, who compose, under the statutes, the board of arbitration in matters of llri- . Ration in which the state is involved. The suit was for $20,663.21 reciprocal fees and $977 additional fees, all a part of 25 percent of certain insurance fees collected by Henderson as auditor, the statute setting forth that reciprocal fees are fees collected for certain duties performed by the auditor of state In connection with the business of regulating foreign insurance companies operating in this tatate. History of the Case. Suit was instituted March 30, 1906, when Warren Bigler was auditor and was for $120,000, including the percent of semi-annual taxes collected for the foreign Insurance companies, paid ito the auditor when it should have 'been paid to the state treasurer. The supreme court decision in the case of Americus C. Dally, who preceded Henderson as auditor, involving the collection of ten percent of taxes was to the effect that the state was powerless to collect under the law, the application of that decision to the Henderson case cut down the claim of the state against the defendant to the amount in controversy in the suit just compromised. The question of law involved in the case arose concerning the act of the general assembly of 1879, setting forth the duties of the auditor of state. The case of both the state and the defendant hinged on the title of the act, the question being whether the title was broad enough to establish the duties of the auditor of state, so far as reciprocal fees were concerned. The state made its offer of compromise on the ground that the question of the validity of the law was somewhat uncertain, and that the better business judgment demanded that the state accept the $10,000 compromise and avoid further expensive litigation. Prices of all living Increased, the only exception Mrs. Austin's pancake flour. Same old price at all grocers. Business College Notes N. H.

FARM HANDS SCARCE Owing to the few laborers who desire to shuck corn, farmers have been somewhat handicapped this fall in harvesting the crop. The yield was very large and it looks as though all of the crop would not be harvested until the middle of next month. Farmers are offering better prices at the present time than ever before. fTUTOcN UNIONISTS. Will Seek Legislative Aid In Securing Better Conditions. At the recent session of the National Women's Trade Union league at Chicago a program for future legislative enactment was unanimously adopted. The legislative program, divided into eleven beads, is prefaced by the statement that the problem confronting the league ia large, not only because nearly 6,000,000 women are engaged in gainful occupations, but "because it is evident that tbe enduring remedy for present His is larger liberty to enter new vocations, to acquire training, to be freed from customary limitations shutting them into a small number of 111 paid employments, while the Immediate remedy appears to be a legislative control intended to prevent their exploitation in their weakness by the economically powerful employer on behalf of an intelligent and unthinking community. Until the advent of the factory system women were at home in the industrial world. They probably worked as much and as intensely as they do now. but they worked so as to adjust their Industrial activities to their maternal privileges and their social and family life. The rigidity of factory life prevents this, and the problem is really one of controlling tbe factory system so as to benefit by its economies, allow women to share in the productive activity of society as they have always done and at the same time save them and their children alive. It is another phase of the difficult task of mastering instead of being mastered by the machine." The eleven recommendations follow: The eight hour day. Elimination of night work. Protected machinery. Sanitary workshops. Separate toilet rooms. Seats (or women and permission for their use when the work allows. Prohibition of employment of pregnant women two months before and two months after childbirth. Pensions for working mothers during the lying-in period. An increased number of women factory Inspectors, based on the percentage of women workers In the state. That the state department of health be urged to appoint as health inspectors women physicians, whose duty shall be to visit all workshops where women and children are employed, to examine into the physical condition of the workers.

SWEEPING DENIAL

MADE BY MACKAY He Denies That the Postal Company Is in Western Union Deal. NOT IN PHONE BUSINESS ALTHOUGH HE ADMITS BELL STOCK IS OWNED, BUT ONLY AS AN INVESTMENT NO NEGOTIATIONS RECEIVED. New York. Nov. 20. Clarence II Mackay, president of the Mackay companies, issued the following statement to the public yesterday afternoon: "We have had nothing to do, either directly or indirectly with the combi nation of the American Telephone and Telegraph companies with the Western Union Telegraph company. We have not wished to join it, and have not been invited to join it. There have been no negotiations whatsoever with us in regard to the matter and there is every reason why we should not have had anything to do with it. "We knew nothing about it until the day when it was publicly announced. It is true that we own a larre block of stock of the American Telephone and Telegraph company but that is one of our many investments. We never have had and have not now any representation on the board of that company and our stock is not consulted or considered any more than the stock of any other stockholder as you will see from the fact that we knew nothing about this deal until it was publicly announced. An Incorrect Statement. "The statement that Mr. William H. Baker represents us is incorrect. He does not represent us in anything in the slightest degree. Neither have wo had anything to do with purchases of telephone companies in the middle west. "Our company is slow and conservative in its investments but swift and aggressive in its service. We are not disturbed in any way. We have successfully met hard competition for over 25 years and have prospered and are in first class financial condition better than ever before. We have waited until this matter had simemred down so that we could make one statement covering the whole subject. As I stated several weeks ago, competition will continue, and it will be real competition the same as here tofore." II. G. M. Pennsylvania leads the world in buckwheat flour. Walter's heads the list.
