EMPLOYER'S LIABILITY FOR INJURIES. For more than a generation the question of holding the em- ployer liable for serious injuries to his workman has been a burning one in most civilized countries. The British parlia- ment many years ago enacted a law that secured compensation to an injured workman if his injury was not due to his own negligence or the negligence of a fellow workman. This law was, at the instance of the late Honorable Christopher Fraser, adopted in Ontario with modifications to suit the industrial conditions. For the time at which it was enacted this law was a great advance on the old common law relating to this whole question, but, further changes had to be made to prop up the new enact- ment where it obviously needed support. There is at present before the American Congress a measure which is intended to supersede altogether the common law in its application to such cases. It provides that every common carrier engaged in inter- state and foreign commerce by railway shall pay compensation to any of its employees who, while employed in its service, sus- tains personal injury by accident arising out of and in the course of his employment and resulting in his disability; in the event of his death the compensation is to go to those dependent upon him. If this measure is enacted by Congress it will, so far as the jurisdiction of that legislature extends, do away with all the vexations and costly delays for-which such cases have become proverbial. No matter what the cause of the injury inflicted on the employee may be he will bécome at once and unquestionably entitled to compensation for the injury, and his family will be- come entitled in the event of his death to what would have been due to himself if he had continued to live. The only exceptions are those cases in which the person who caused the injury is intoxicated while on duty, or acts with the deliberate intent to cause his own or a fellow workman's injury or death. There does not seem to be any great amount of opposition to this proposed legislation from the railWay corporations. They are in a position to estimate the extent of their liability on the average and to make adequate provision to meet it. The work- men, on the other hand, are quite unable to protect themselves. In order, at present, to secure ,compensation for injuries they must resort to litigation, the birden of proof of injury and of the absence of negligence resting on the plaintiff. It is easy for a greai corporation to defeat a poor man by carrying the defense from court to court on appeal, and there is reason to believe this has been somewhat systematically done in order to deter injured workmen generally from trying to collect compensation. If this proposed law is enacted by the American Congress it will give an immense impulse to similar legislation in other civilized countries. eee ES Property Holders 1 want house and lot, Seetion 4 2 lots on 5th or 6th Ave., near Hospital | j lot near skating rink } 2 lots Summit Avenue Section 8 141th on easy lots in Avenue, Few on terms Send your lowest terms and prices | 4 | | Daily News 606 3rd Ave. Phone 379 TRY US FOR Graniteware, Tinware, Crockery, Glass- ware, Chinaware Headquarters for Camping and Batching Outfits SATURDAY SPECIAL Full Dinner Sets $10 Up CARRIGAN & MILLER Prices Always Right We Deliver And Get All the News the seaport’s future in view. The ocasion was the launching from H. Johnson's yard of Captain 4H. Babington’s new power boat) “Sangra,” an extremely strong and substantially built tug-boat which has the distinction of be- ing the largest craft yet launch-} ed off a Prince Rupert slip. H. Johnson has launched many ot- her power-boats, but the Sangra is amore ambitious venture than he has ever before given to the water.

CITIES TO OWN COAL STORES British Coal Strike Has Impressed Municipaliteis with the Need for Owning Reserve Stocks of Coal. One result of the British coal! miners’ strike will be a further] extension of the area of munici-| pal trading. Not only did the} companies that had accumulated} reserve stocks of coal profit) greatly by the rapid increase in prices, but some of the largest} railroad companies — restricted| their passenger and freight serv- ices and stagted to sell out their| coal reserves at a profit of about $5 a ton. The municipality of Middlesborough secured a large} quantity of coal and proceeded to! sell it at about half the prices) charged by retailers and in a few hours 300 tons were disposed of in 5 ewt, uarcels at from 38 cents} to 42 cents a hundredweight. Bradford and many other city corporations are seriously con- sidering the advisability of es- tablishing municipal coal sup- plies, both for publie purposes | and in order to meet the action} of the coal companies and mer- ¢hants in taking advantage of) future strikes to corner the} stocks and make thousands of pounds out of the consumers. The proposal is not likely to pass out of sight now that it has been mooted and the situation that developed during the trouble will greatly strengthen the demand for nationalization of the rail- roads and the establishment of government owned and operated mines.
