owners to afford protection.
Wheeler said the bill was inaus.
uuAte. No ten men could properly
insnont all the mines 10 the STATE.
Existing laws afforded all practicable
protection.
O'Brlen though the State ought to
protect miners, ana spoke % the dan
gers to which they were exposed. He
favored the bill. A. L. S0reusen op-
posed thu bill. Only one miuing us
trlut had asked for 1t. Mrs. La Barthe
smoke in favor oi this bill. Accidents
should be prevented In advance, rather
than depend upon damages being re-
covered In court.
Calls showed that the certificate Of
GOOD condition 10 ued by the in
spector would prevent recovery
OF damages by an vi ured miner,
strong argument against the
| bill. The mines covered by the
bill did not need legal inspection, Tor
! their ow nets, to prevent damage cults.
| Kept them In good cOnditiou. pno
bill would result in litigation that
would throw out Of employment huu-
dfeds OF miners.
Hopkins thought the bill would
benefit no one but the Inspector. The
| fir-t duty OF miners Is TO make the
mine lin when they work, safe. A
| mine that could get along with hU
annual inspection could get along all
tho time Without Oeing inspected.
Dresser maize an argument va de-
| fense Of the bill, attempting to meet
! the several points MAZE against II.
| Ho cited a number OF cases IN WHICH
fatal accidents mad occurred tnat
might have been prevented by inspeo-
! tiCn.
The motion 10 strike out the enacting
clause carried, anu the bill was re-
jected.
Kenner introduced memorial to

lions.
