SUBJECT OF HEARING BEFORE
ASSEMBLY JUDICIARY.
H. F. COCHEMS APPEARS
Makes Argument for Passage of the
Act to Give Injured Laborer Better
Chance in Damage Suits-MiIwau-
kee Aldermen Want Guarantee Re-
serve for Asphalt Work.
Madison, Feb. q.


Arguments on the co-employe bill
occupied the attention of the assembly
committee on judiciary almost all of
yesterday afternoon. Henry F. Coca
ems and William Tniele of Milwaukee
appeared for the bill, and Capt. L. N.
Bean, Charles Quarles, John II. Moss
and Edward M. Hyzer, all of Milwau-
kee, appeared against the measure.
W. r. Bagley of Madison also argued
against the bill. The bill seeks to do
away with the contributory negligence
defense in damage suits for personal
injuries.
Mr.. Cochems Logan by defining the
present laws and the bill under con-
sideraIlon. Under the present law it
was impossible for the employe of
railroad or other large corporation to
recover for damages for an injury re-
ceived while in the employ Of the COM
pany, if the injury could be shown to
the result of any negligence upon the
part of any employee. Inc presentlaw,
he. said would simply make it possible
to recover damages when the injury
was the result of the negligence of a
fellow employee and the injured per-
sen had in no way contributed to the
accident that had caused the injury.
Germany he said, had passed in 1888
just the law that was proposed by the
coemploye bill. No countries on the
globe held to- the principle that the
employee assumed the liability for the
negligence of his fellow employee, eX-
cept Russia and the United States.
The proposed law would not work any
hardship upon the capital of the state
or upon large manufacturing estab
lishments, as money that had to be
paid out as damages to injured per
! sons would naturally be figured into
! the budget of expenses and eventually
| paid by the consumer. Consequently
| the talk about such law driving cap
ital out of the state was all nonsense
and, shold not receive serious cOnsid-
Grafton at the hands Of the committee.
The claim that it was only a faction
which was tlam.Iing for this bill, he
Offset by the statement that if it be-
came a law it would effect $4,000 en-
ployes, on whom 100000 people were
dependent or nearly one-half of the
population of the state of Wisconsin.
Under the present law, he said, only
21h per cent. of the total number Of
laborers of the state were protected.
Less than 20 per cent. of the employees
of the railroad employees were now pro-
tected.
William Thiele also spoke for the bill,
representing the state federation Of
labor.
Capt Bean insisted that under the
new order Of industrialism the great
ship of state could not sail on without
some protection to the manufacturing
interests. Charles Quarles did not
want to see present conditions disturb
ed. John H. Moss thought that things
could not be materially changed with
tout endangering the prosperity of the

commonwealth and forcing capital OUT
of the state. w. r. Bagley insisted
that the expense that manufacturers
would be put to in keeping up their
employees liability insurance would be
so great as to utterly eat up the prof
it's of a great many concerns and pre-
vent them from competing with con-
Germs in other states. E. M. Hyzer
spoke along the same line as the other
opponents of the bill.
Aldermen Talk of Asphalt.
The committee on cities listened to
the aldermanic delegation from Mil
waukee on the asphalt bill allowing
cities to hold back 10 per cent. for ten
years of the contract price on all
asphalt having contracts in order to
guarantee good work and proper re-
pairs Aldermen Henry Smith and
Frank Stiglbauer both spoke for the
bill urging it's passage and cOntending
that Milwaukee had lost in the past
many thousands of dollars because Of
the lack of such power as this bill
would give to the city. Aid. Smith
cited the case of the repairs made to
the Third street asphalt pavement
just before the expiration of the five
year limit as an instance Of what the
bill would save to the city.
Frank Stighbauer made practically
the same argument, saying that the
city had in years past been imposed
upon in it's. asphalt contracts and
had been robbed of much money in
this Way

zen, and without authority, no less
than 100000 worth Of intangible
property never before known to exist
and last year, as supervisor of assess
ments, he increased the assessment CT
intangible property for Grant county
$2,800,O0 He says that he did that
by merely enforcing the law and "had
tax dodgers chasing him for an op-
portunity to get on the tax ron"
The city of Milwaukee, he said,
had upon it's tax roll last year S.
100000 worth of this kind of proper
ty, but that it ought to have $50,000,-
900, second that he would like ID
have the contract to put it on there.
Grant county, he said, has over
$280,OOO more of. sO-calied intangible
property on it's tax roll than Dane
county, and Dane county is the
second largest county in the state.
These statements of Mr.. Cleary VIII
undoubtedly cause a sensation in the
state.

like to call Mr.. Kearney's attention to
last democratic state convention was
drawn. | do not think that he or any
one else will claim that the method Of
making that platform was any i'm
provement upon the method proposed
in the bill which passed the assembly
That platform was drawn by one man,
it was made for one man and the en-
tire campaign which was made was
for one man, it is not pretended that
the platform represented the honest
sentiment of the party and the result
is that there are many democrats in
this legislature, like Senator Merton,
who make their campaigns in oppos1-
ton to the decree of the platform and
who are here representing the honest
sentiment of their districts.
''The responsibility for the enact
ment of a primary election law rests
upon the republican party. If a ma
jority Of the republican members Of
the legislature believe in any of
the bills proposed let them get to-
gether and agree upon bill, but let
them remember that the bill should
conform in every way to the platform
pledges of the party. The people de-
mand this and will not be satisfied
with less. If the people are capable
of determining by their votes who
they want elected to Office, they are
capable of determining by their votes
who should be their candidates for Of

+ favorable Recon-
nnendatiOns
Action is Taken Az
ter a Spirited
Hearing

The last Merton primary election
bill, amended so as to agree in essen
tialparticularsw with the Frear bill which
was passed by the assembly, will be
favorably reported this morning by
the senate. committee on privileges
and elections. It will go to the cal
ender of Wednesday morning and at
that time there is expected to be a
lining up of the factions on the ques-
ton of fixing the time for the consid-
Grafton of the bill.
The committee by a vote of three to
two decided to recommend the last
Merton bill for passage and. it was
agreed among the members that it
should go on the calender for next
Wednesday morning. At that time
Senator Whitehead will make an eff
fort to have consideration Of the bill
postponed until March 25, the date on
which the resolutions asking for the
election of United States senator by
popular vote are to be considered.
The recommendation of the COM
mittee will be presented to the senate
at this mornings session. There will
not be any contest at that time, now
ever. and the two forces in the sen
ate will be lined up from now until
Wednesday with no man certain as to
the result Senator Whitehead said
Yesterday that he and his friends
were strong enough to force post
pOnement, but this is disputed by Sen
atOr Miller and others.
The bill which is recommended. for
passage is known as No. 25lS, and is
almost an exact copy of the bill
which passed the assembly, except
that it provides for a party cOnVen-
ton for the adoption Of the state plat
form. The committee amended the
bill in two minor particulars. 1t
changed the part requiring five per
cent. of the voters Of a district less
than a congressional division on pc
titiOn to get a name on primary
ticket to three per cent, and instead
of residing in One-third Of the pre-
cincts in the district the amendment
provides they shall only reside in one
sixth of the precincts.
The part requiring publication is
changed to read that the county clerk
shall in his discretion publish the
notice for the primary in two papers,
each of which shall represent the pO-
JitfcaI faith of the parties receiving
the highest number of votes in the
last election and in not more than
four papers in any one county. 1t pro
vides for the nomination Of United
States SENATOR all state officers, con-
gressmen. members of the legislature,
county and municipal officers by di-
rect vote. It complies in every way
with the demands of the republican
state platform.
Senators Miller, Martin and Mum
son of the committee voted for the
report, Senator Whitehead and Chair
man Morse dissented from the report.
Neither Senator Whitehead nor
Senator Morse made any suggestions
Of amendments to the bill. They dld
not discuss it's provisions nor enter
into any talk as to it's merits. Sena-
tor Whitehead did the talking for the
minority. He wanted delay He SAID
that he would not be ready to act on
