Lata, only seven Eastwood Shoes are the choice of particular persons because of their attractive style, comfort and good wearing qualities. They are not made in grades below certain prices because we believe that the people who look to us for their shoes desire the durability, comfort and fit that can only be given in shoes costing at least a certain minimum price. We understand that those who wear Eastwood Shoes have a right to expect satisfaction through reasonable service. Eastwood Shoes for men and women are the result of our years of experience in the designing and fitting of shoes and are made especially for us from materials of the highest grade by the most skilful workmen. the commission had spent in nine Months of administration tbat first appropriation of SoOO.OfiO when that amount had been requisitioned ti cover tlie expenditures of a year.

The chairman of the Republican State Committee is said to have his offices in the same building. the states where compensation laws are in operation to ascertain the cost of such operation, and claimed that he found that the cost in Washington was 'J cents and in Ohio IS cents for every man or woman coining under the pro visions of the law, and that this cost iu New York state during the commis sion operation has beeu fjU.So. 'I would like to ask Senator Arjret- A great many of our Spring Styles have arrived and are on display at our stores. These include tongue pumps of white linen, dull calfskin and patent celtskin, and oxfords in dull kid, dull calfskin, patent coltskin and white linen for women, and black, white and tan oxfords for men. "Whether our main offices were in Albany or no we would have had to have substantially the same space iu New York, because 75 per cent, of all the cases that come before the commission originate in Xcw York.

In those rooms iu the first six months we handled 130,010 notices of injury and our physicians examined 2.000 persons. Three hundred to 500 persons a day come there for information; -00 or MOO come ti every hearing. "The furniture charge is so trivial a to be unworthy of serious consideration.

All through, the appropriation made would not have been enough to administer khe law if it had not been for overtime work." Proposed Amendments Opposed. Commissioner Mosher said that the commission was opposed to tho proposed amcndiueuts tbat would permit direct payment of awards to injured persons, because it meant that workmen would be forced to accept other thau fair settlement, through no wickedness on aDy one's part, but through natural desire.

"The peculiar thing about this am-fumeiit is that the only people who will benefit by it are the eopIe in the insurance companies," said Mr. -Mosher. "They will, as is their business, make the man accept as little as possible. The business man who has paid iu premiums will not benclit, but the insurance people will keep more of the Mosher condemned a movement which he said was on foot to remove the state fund from the control of commission aud to place it in the hands of the Insurance Department, lie said tliut suck a movement would ruin the state fund, because it would mean that insurance iu the fitnd would cost as much as iu companies. This, he said, would not menu fair competition, since the insurance companies write all kinds of insurance and the stute fund writes insurance only under the compensation law.

lie characterized the idea as an outcome of machinations of the insurance interests.

The cost of the compensation law has been aud there are working men iu this state covered by the law, which would make the jcr capita cost, on his own basis, 29 cents iustead of $1.85. "So mau in this country is au expert on the mutter of compensation le-islution as William C. Archer, who acted at one times as adviser to the commission. Mr. Archer as made this statement: 'Moreover, compared either to premium income or to awiuds made, CSeiy.

York's cost for the first year would be ii lower percentage than any oiTtr state can show for the same initial Could Not Amend Law. "We knew as' well as anyone that nftcr the law had lieen in operation fome time that its cost of operation i-ouhL be lowered by amendment. iwc were forced to administer the law; vo could not amend it. For instance, the law required that a copy of every policy issued thould be tiled with the commission, and we had about ISO.OOO tiled with us. This involved au expense-it hat could have been eliminated, and the information thus assured us could Iiave been as well obtained through another system.

Why. at one time we mere compelled to employ for this purpose sixty-live people. It -was a new law and no one was experienced in the matter. We found thai mauy forms for clerical use might be changed so as to save work ami money. "The criticism has been made that the mate fmid was being subsidized by the plate aud that we were paying premiums aim might properly have been used t) run the fund and so relieve the burden upon the state.

Those who1 make it forget, that we were compelled under the law to remit those premiums; that it was the luw that compelled the suh-niduing of the Mate fund at. a time hen it was making money. The state fund has been successful, but the law stipulated that it should not carry iiseif until January, It couldn't be changed until July, because of the old policies issued oil that basis. The commissioners believe that it can carry itself after that time; are perfectly iu accord with such a change. As to Salaries Paid.

"The charge of high salaries has beeu made, aud 1 submit that it is unreasonable. True, we paid $10,000 to Archer as legal adviser und actuary and organizer, but Archer is au international expert and lias the best collection of records on tho subject in the world. Any lawyer knows that is not exorbitant for such service. "Fault is found because we paid Iaiiicl A. Golden, chief of the claims bureau, $1,000 a year.

Insurance companies pay men for the same service unywhere from that sum to und Daniel A. Golden has done more work during his time of employment than all the insurance men in his position. I have here an alllilavit sworn to by Golden in which he says that extra work nights, Sundays and holidays has been absolutely essential; that the men in his employ, all hough knowing they would receive' no recompense, hud worked from 125 to 150 days of overtime. "The fact of the matter is that no one with heart can stop working to give, relief to those peoplo who are continually coming Injured to tho doors of the commissioner's ofllee. As I said before the conference in Albany, in accord with Mitchell and the others, Inever knew of any service rendered more faithfully, earnestly and generously than that by the lirst employees of the commission, and all afler three months' work were ousted when their positions went under civil service.

Spencer A. Italilwiii Was paid $7,500 a year, but, peoplo forget that men of the same lmsilion in insurance companies seldom receive less thau 15,000. Office in- New York.
