The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1895-05-04
MISSOURI LEGISLATURE.
Extra Session.

In the senate three bills were introduced. and
in the house eleven, making a total Of fourteen
for ii C day.
Legislation on the felloT-servant bill will
undoubtedly be q most troublesome question.
OF these bills three were introduced in tSe
house and one in the senate. AL differ in i'm.
portant particulars. Briefly, they may be
claSsed as follows:
The Steel house bill applies to railroads
alone. and makes such corporations, in the alb
sence OF contributory negligence, liable for all
damages sustained b. any agent or servant
thereof while engaged in the work OF
operating such railroad. Superintendent
and inspectors are made vice principals and
are not fellow-seFvarts. This act was passed
By the house at the regular session, and toma-
hawked In the senate. 1t is the bill recon-
mended by the railway employees. and the
friends OF the bill express the hope that it will
pass the house, minus an amendment adopted
to exclude employees from its benefits who be-
long to labor organizations that NEEDLE in the
matter of who shall or shall not be employed
to operate railroads. Many members Of the
house say If this amendment is again accepted
the measure will pass the house without DIM
Guilty.
In the senate Lieut.. Gov. OGieara made a
short speech concerning prospective legisla-
tion, which was out OF the usual order. He
said certain interested parties had misrepre-
scented his nnSifinO rAp0rdiDD an alaPff0n and

From his remarks the inference is that the
