people would possibly be doing
worse. Still, we are willing TO

Our difference is not with one but
with all who think unlike our

differ and claim the same right.
Ifa considerable majority are OPP

Sunday trains pay, the Railroad

not be profitable in The face Of

SUNDAY TRAIN DISCUSSION

As THE TRANSCRIPT feared, the

too many questions that are bet

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY
The law recently enacted by
Congress, and signed BY the
President, corrects, in 50 far as
it applies to employees OF railroads
engaged in interstate commerce,
an abuse which had grown intol.
erable. Starting from t! g old
common law theory, based on
practice when man had compara-
lively few servants, that where
an accident occurs to an em
ployee by carelessnes OF Q Eel
low servant engaged with him IN
the performance Of q piece OF
work, the master was notliable,
as proper care and waLcnfulness
on the part of the injured one
could or should have avoided the
accident, modern conditions had
broadened it until it was well es-
tablished law, that engineer, con-
ductor and brakeman we're fellow
servants although they might be
in some of the lengthy freight
trains half a mile apart, and the
negligence of one became the re-
sponsihility of all. In somecases,
it had been held to apply to
switchmen, and other employees
of the company, SO that an engi-
neer for instance, could not re-
cover damages resulting from an
accident caused by an open or
misplaced switch.
Nest of the injustice wrought
by this law will be corrected BY
the recent statute. While in
words it. applies to interstate
traffic, in effect, it is quite gen
eral. There are very few trains,
even though their terminals are
both within single state, that
are not engaged in interstate
commerce. Some arHsles of
freight or some passenger is des-
tined ont of the state or has been
received from another state.
When it is remembered that |,
more than $500 railroad EN-
ployes were killed and more than !
81, 900 injured in accidents on the |
rail in 1904, the last year for
which full reports are available,
it can be seen how important this
statute becomes. In the past,
this vast army of killed and in
iured has been compelled to ac
cept as damages such sum as the
corporation may grant. Usually |
this has been the payment of sick
or funeral expenses, and the con-
tinuance in employment or the
granting of nominal indemnity in I
case of death. Such being the
case, the corporations have been
negligent or careless about using
safety appliances. As matter
of fact, it required an Act of Con
gress and several years time to
force the adoption of the auto
matte brake and coupler. Now,
with a full responsibility there
will be more attention paid to
and money expended on these ap-
pliances. Many improvements
can and will be made. Travel
will be made safer and more
pleasant and a share, at least of
the injuries and deaths prevent
ed. !
But the greatest result of this {
legislation will probably be from
the enactment by the several
states of similar legislation, ap-
plying not only to railroads but /
y :
to other employees.
