ASSOCIATION WILL CHECK SIGNATURES REFERENDUM PETITIONS BEING CIRCULATED. Solicitors Who Submit Fraudulent Names To Be Prosecuted. The petitions now being "irciilated throughout the state t" refer the Workmen's Compensation Law passed by the last General Assembly will be carefully scrutinized by representatives of the Associated Industries of Missouri when they ale filed with Sec-retar of State Ilecker. F.vry signature, the validity of which is doubt- '"' areruliy cxanuiieii ami int question of whether It Is genuine will be investigated, according to I'.luicr T'oimell, imuiiiging director of the Associated Industries. This organization Is combining with the .Missouri Federation of Labor and the state organization of the "Itig Four" railroad brotherhoods, in asking the people of Missouri to refuse to sign petitions which would submit tin Comiicnsation Act to the voters at the election ill November, 11121!. Compensation laws have twice lieen referred in Missouri. In each ease, supiMirters of the lueusure have claimed that many names were fraudulently signed to the petitions. It Is alleged that tax lists, poll tax Isioks, and even telephone directories were drawn upou for names. Entire sheets of signatures, all In the same handwriting, it Is claimed. Included many errors in Initials or the spelling of names. No effort has been made in the past to prosecute the circulators of the petitions bearing fraudulent signatures. If such lists are submitted to the secretary of state this time, those responsible will be made to suffer. Under the Missouri law. It Is a felony for a person to sign any name other than bis own to a petition, or to know-lngly sign bis name more than once for the same measure at the same election, or to sign when he or she la not a legal voter. The punishment for violation of this statute may be either by fine, not to exceed five hundred dollars, or by imprisonment in the lenltentlary for not to exceed two years, or by both fine and imprisonment.Petitions are being circulated, In many Instances, by persons who do not understand the purpose for which they are securing names, who are working wholly for the few cents per name which they are paid. The referendum Is being promoted by a group of attorneys specializing In damage suit legislation, who will be deprived of much of this portttable business when the compensation law becomes effective. Under the present "damage-suit" system only one out of every four persons Injured receives comoensation under a workmen's comiensatlon law every Injured per son la compensated. It seems the "ambulance chasers", wlfo have In the past made big money xn damage suits, are working directly against the interests of the employees by circulat ing referendum petitions for the pur pose of killing the law.
