CONTRACT IS A NOVELTY.
The One Presented to Employes By
 Novelty Mtg Go.

Novelty Mtg Go.
 The contract which the Novelty
 Manufacturing Go have proposed to | their employees to sign, absolylug tfem from all responsibility i'll case Of acci- Ident while at work IS exciting ccn'-
 ment in legal clrc;cs. A Democrat reporter showed tue form of cont-acI to several lll, yers yesterday to get l their opinion OF it. 2nd all but olla U. about halt ;l dozen said it was nos worth ;;e paper it was printe oil.
 Those who held it was not legal con- tract based their opinion on the
 grounds of public policy. They held | that on such grounds alone the con- tract would not be sustained i'll any court. But there were other grounds l on which it would not stand. either. One was that it was an illegal con tract because it's provisions were main Itained in implied threat; that 1t was forced upon the employees. The fact that half dCzen men have been dis
 charged from the comrany's employ
 because they refused to sign the con tract would convey the impression that | It was siened by the otl ars merely to save il cir employment; consequently, they were forced to sign the paper by ] the threat of discharge from their jobs. The third ground on which these lawyers held the contract would not be upheld by court was that it's provisions were manifestly aimed to relieve the company of the charge of negligence in case of accident. In that case the company could be as ne gligent as it is possible to be, and yet l if an accident resulted from this negli-
 gence the company should not be held irresponsible. In other words, the em- Iployes were bound to care for machin- cry they do not understand and for which at present men are employed to take care of, while the company, un-
 der the contract. could let the machines rot for want of proper care and yet be exempt from responsibility in case of accident. The lawyers who took this ipoint of view said that no person can 1 be relieved of the consequences of his negligence contract or no contract, and that the men who were discharged for refusing to. sign the contract in question ought to have signed it for it would not save the company from lia-
 bility in case of accident to an em- lploye Public policy was against
 
 thing against public policy is not sus- itained by the courts.
 i The one lawyer who took the differ ling view is one of the most prominent 1 in the city, and while he did not say that such a contract as that in ques- 1 ton here was legal, he saw no reason why any contract between employer i and employe should not be legal. It made no difference i'll this case wheth-
 CT or not men were discharged by the
 company for not signing it, or that it
 was signed by others under the implied I threat that they would be discharged l if they did not sign it, he saw no req
 son why it was not legal. But he
 added that it, was evidently. an unfair, unjust and cruel contract, and that no
 matter what the consequences would l be to him, were he an employe of the
 company named herein, he would nev-
 CT sign it.
