LIABILITY OF THE EMPLOYER
viii Probably he the Subject of q Warm

VIII Probably BE the Subject of q Warm
Fight-"FellOw Servant Law"
Springfield. Ills, Feb. "a big fight
over the fellow servant law is brew
ing-a law defining when an employer
shall be liable in pocuniary damages to
an employee injured through the care
lessnessof fellow employe, and great
ly extending the injured employees op-
portunity for recovering damages
when he is injured through no fault
of his own. Illinois now has no statute
on this subject Personal injury dam
age suits in this state are decided ac-
cording to the common law, which,
broadly stated, holds. that when the
employees injury is due to the fault
of co-employe or fellow servant"
the employer is not liable.
Representative Drew, of Joliet, has
introduced Il bill-house bill No. 30
which provides that every railroad or
other corporation, except municipal,
operating in this state, shall be liable
for personal damages suffered by any
employee, when the employee so injured
has exercised due care and diligence,
in the following cases:
1. When such injury is suffered by
reason of any defect in any track,
bridge. culvert, signal, etc.
2. Where such injury results from
the negligence of any person in the
service of such corporation to whose
order or direction the injured emplOye
ordinarily conformed.
3. Where such injury results from
the act of any person. except the per-
son injured, done or made in obedience
to any recognized usage. custom, prac-
tice. rule, regulation, bylaw, bulletin
or order OF such corporation or any per-
son in its service.
;. Where such injury is caused by
the negligence of any person in the
service of such corporation who has
charge of or is operating any signal,
telegraph instrument. etc.
The act is made applicable to all &C
cidents happening to any employe,
whether going to or returning from
work. or in the course of his employ
ment.
Amendments of the bill may be call
ed for on the ground that application
of it TO corporations only. makes it
class legislation and therefore uncon-
stitutionaI. Many states have such
laws applicable to corporations only,
which have been upheld by their SUI

the senate VIII take up for 'considera-
ton two bills which will affect the
Cook county election laws. One of
them provides that special primaries
may be held for the nomination of
candidates for judges to be elected at
the June election. The other one is
framed for the purpose of permitting
the name of a candidate for judge to
appear on mere than one ticket on the
ballot. Both are emergency bills, and
1t is understood that they will be re-
ported out without delay.
Several of the newly appointed chair

manned in Springfield over Sunday to

ferred to them. They will be ready
to transact business when the assem-

ings will be announced tomorrow.

two days of this week on which the

The state board of arbitration will

Legislature Is Now in Work
ing Order.

Springfield, Ills, Feb. 9.-Now that
the house committees have been an
nounced the routine work of the legis-
lature will be entered upon, and the
members of the general assembly will
find plenty Of work before them when
they return to work this afternoon
Many people who have propositions to
present to the legislature have been
waiting for the announcement of the
committee assignment before offering
their bills and the week will witness
an incoming of those who are interest
ed in prospective legislation.
Committee Work VIII he Lively.
New members are always very
jealous in committee work early
in the session, and as the new mem
bers have been uncommonly well cared
for this session, and constitute
Ia heavy proportion of the
membership of the most important
committees, in both the house and SEN
ate, there will be much activity out
| side the sessions of the main bodies.
Indeed, pretty much all the work to be
done during the week will be in com
mittee, for there is no legislation OH
the calendars as yet, and it is not ex-
pected that anything of Importance
will be presented in the form of reso-
| lutions.
Ssate Boards Are Interested.
Governor Yates has appointed num-
Der of conferences for the week. and
members of several state boards will
he here to confer with him. AS all of
| these boards are Interested in legisla-
tive matters their presence in Spring
field will be significant, and will have
its influence on what is done latter in
the session. 1t is the purpose of the
governor to talk about legislative mat
tiers with the men who have been
called here, and they will, of course,
discuss with the legislators matters in
which they are interested. The first
conference will be held today, the
state board of charities being here to-
day. On this occasion it is expected
that the question of establishing n
state board of control for the state
charitable institutions will be dis
cussed The matter of state supervision
of county almshOuses and jails will
also be taken up at this time.

To the same end of increasing the

dispose of the increasing business it
was decided to hold semi-munthIy
meetings as in the past. Hereafter
the body will meet the second and
fourth Sundays of each month.
\ letter was received from Senator
W. f. Mason replying to a communi-
cation from the congress in regard
to his attitude on the eight-hour bill
now before congress. Senator Mason
stated that he was in sympathy with
the movement and would support the
bill. Another letter in answer to a
similar inquiry was received from
Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom. The lat
ter, as he has done on former occa-
sions when addressed by the con
gress, evaded the question and mere
ly state, that the bill would come up
in the senate. The secretary was in
structed to again write and ask the
senator point blank if he intended
supporting the measure.
