alleged forged notes against Mrs Porter,

Hills deposition next Wednesday, The

Commons to-day Herbert Asquith, home
secretary, moved the third reading Of the
employers liability bill.

mischievous one for what it did and for
what it left undone The principle existing
in the act was pressure that ought not to be
put upon employers, excepting in matters
they could control The bill penalized
them in respect Of cases where they had
no discretion With regard to contract
ing out of the act, 1t was undeniable
that the men believed that the existing
Insurance schemes would give something
better than the bill. They only asked TO
be left alone.
