Stocks Recovering.

New York. Dec. l7.-The urgent
liquidation In the stock market which
was uneomplcted last week broke
prices badly on Monday and part Of
Tuesday, but support checked the de-
cline and an irregular and partial re-
covcry succeeded. The after effect OF
the eommotion In the market was
most notable In a subsistence OF ac-
tivlty and smaller total aales than for
three months past. The spectacular
method OF attack upon the market and
the success which seemed 20 attend Il

ance. The continued good news OF the

gives him and alternative method Of proceed
ing He may attempt secure compensation in any
one of the three methods but not by more than one
of them. If action is to be taken under the Work
mems Compensation Act however the employer must
be notified within short time of the accident and at
some time previous to the workman leaving his
ploy, and proceedings must be begun within six
months The matter may be settled between the en-
ployer and the workman by agreement but upon
failure to reach satisfactory settlement provision
is made for arbitration which removes the matter
from the law courts and makes the proceedings
expeditions and more economical than they other
wise would be. 1t would be wiser, however, If a
permanent board arbitration had been provided for
the control OF all cases and if the practice of engag
ing lawyers to try the had been discouraged
from the first The employer is liable-even where
the workman has been hired by a sub-contractor
under him-the injured workman thus being sure of
being paid although provision is also made IN the
law by which the employer may himself recover from
the sub-contTactor. This prevents q woFkingma

plOyer.
The rate of remuneration for persons who are
killed depends upon whether not they have other
persons dependent upon them If the workman leaves

of his employment, if he has been employed less

the he would have received if he had left persons
entirely dependent upon hims If he leaves no de-
pendents at all, he receives the reasonable expenses
of his medical attendance and burial not exceeding
$50. Where the workman is totally partially in
eapaeitated, he is to receive weekly payment after
the second week exceed so per cent his aver
age weekly earnings and not to exceed s. per week

duct any sums mot wages which he may have sd-

more than half of the eases there was no direct
responsibility or careiesness on the paTt of either
the employer or the employee. The German law how
ever, took the stand that just the soldier should
receive a pension for death manning due TO the
nature of his work. SO the injured workman the
heirs OF killed workman should receive pension
or remuneration for injuries which just in

The English law followed this precedent and
adopted this philosophy. According to the most
learned British jufists the workmens Compensation
Act of 1897 introduces for the first time in the his
tory of English Jurisprudence liability upon an in
dviduaI TO pay compensation for personal injuries

The bill provides certain definite compensation for

T used to be the case in England as it is in most
American states today, that an injared work
man had for the most part remedy at law or
in equity against his employer for accident No mat
ter how faithfully may have disch arged his duty
no matter how free from contributpry negligence.
the employee killed or manned in the performance of
his work could obtain no redress and secure no
remedy. As in America today. the withdrawal from
the worIdngman f the protection of the law led to
the greatest hards71ips and men we're thrown upon
the streets manned for life and women and children
were left Denniess and destitute the result of in
juries which if they had happened to any one but
workingmen would have been Immediately and
amply compensated for.
This state of affairs which unfortunately still
exists to the present day in most of the American
states arose from the action of the courts It had
always been assumed by the English law that an
employer was responsible for the acts of his en-
pIoye in the ordinary performance of his duties and
this doctrine had been proved necessary to protect
workingmen and third persons from the careessness
of an employer and his agents. In the case of the
workingman himself, however, this protection was
entirely removed In the year 1897 in the famous
case of PriestleyFOwEeT it stated by the court
that an employee could not recover where the injury
had been inflicted by the eaTelessness of a fellow
employe The workman supposed TO assume the
known risk OF his employment, and he also sup
posed to assume the liability of accident resulting
from the carelessness of any one of the men who
were working with him. As consequence the work
ingman ceased have any protection whatsoever If
there were a wreck a train the result of the
carelessness of a switchman or gatekeepeT and the
conductor engineer brakeman and all the passengers
were killed. the result would be, according TO law
that all the passengers whether rich poor might
recover while the engineeT conductor and brakeman
could not recover because they were supposed TO as
