STATE LEGIsLATlvE RECORD.
New and Cownrdly Method of De
fentinx Biil.

Denver. June l7.-An attempt has
been thru cowardly means to invaiidate
the employers liability bill passed by
the last Legislature. The roll call giving
the vote on the bile final passage in the
senate is missing from the journals in
the secretary of states office. The doc
ument evidently was stolen, and it has
been reported 10 President Garman OF
the State Federation Of Labor that Ger
tain corporate Interests put $4,000 to
have the roll call spirited away.
The effort to kill the effect of the
measure will prove fruitless. AT least
this Is the opinion of the best lawyers
who have discussed the subject.
The discovery that the roll call was
gone was made by the law firm of Pat
terson. Richardson & Hawkins 1t was
contemplating bringing some suits for
clients to test the liability of employers
under the act and desired to find out il
the bill was regularly passed. as there
had been rumors that 1t had not been.
