Bcause the town of Salem, county seat of Dent county, does not want the Missouri General Utilities Company to redut-i the electric lighting rates in the town, the Public Service Commission today suspended for 120 days a proposed decrease in rates. The town, through Mayor E. H. Slassan, protested against the decrease on the ground that it was not made in good faith and was filed because the town has a municipal light plant in operation. The town contended it has issued bonds for its municipal plant and -hat the utility company is seeking to embarrass the city through the rate reduction.

The commission will-make an investigation of the controversy pending the suspension of the new schedule.

Upon pleading guilty in Circuit Court Saturday morning they were sentenced to prison and were to be taken to the penitentiary late today.

BOARD NEARLY UP ON WORK State Labor Leader Said Rights of Workmen Precarious As Ever. A reply to recent statements by R. T. Wood, of Springfield, president of the Missouri Federation of Labor, that "the rights of injured workmen are as precarious as ever," was made today by Evert Richardson, chairman of the workmen's compensation commission. Richardson called attention to the files of the commission to refute statement smade by Wood concerning compensation awarded Floyd Cochran, who was injured October 1, 1028, while working for the Springfield Traction Company.

After several hearings, medical examination for the man, and conferences the commission awarded a lump sum of $3,580 to the workman for the loss of an eye and USD of one arm. Compensation started Immediately after lie was njured on a weekly basis, the files, and in September of this year the finnl lump sum was paid to Cochran, at his own request. Richardson said It was the policy of the commission not to approve a settlement unless it was in accordance with the law. in the Cochran case, he said, the injured workman wanted to settle with the company for less money thnn the commission awarded him. In the first part of this year, the chairman said, the commission was about six or eight months behind with their hearings due to shortage of help.

This situation has been relieved, however, but odd', tion of more examiners through an act of the. 1829 legislature.
