To Study Coal Shortage.

During the recent interstate commits
sion investigation, held here Sept. 2 it
was shown by the examination of a
large number of witnesses that the
Union Pacific Coal company acquired
immense tracts of coal land through the
aid of its employees, who filed upon the
land as agricultural land. When the
legal formalities of the acquisition were
completed and a clear title had been
obtained, the property was turned over
to the coal company.

The law permits corporation to hold
but $50 acres of coal land, but by the
method explained coal companies were
enabled to gather big areas of coal land
at a comparatively small figure. This
circumvention of the law was but one
of many brought to light by the com
mission, which met under direction of
Commissioner Charles A. Prouty.

how we longed for the sight of an ALI

the law that the employee having
knowledge of the dangerous condition

being INJURED and therefore was not
entitled to a recovery. Under the law
which | refer to it is provided that
knowledge upon the part of an injured
empoyee of dangerous condition of
machinery owing to failure to comply
with state laws shall not be deemed
an assumption of the risk. In other
words the employer will be liable for
damages accruing through negligence
in this regard, Notwithstanding the
injured employee was aware of the con-

greatest value to every man in our
state who works in the factory, shop,

ges that will be awarded to him for
accident, but because the employer
knowing of that liability by reason of
this law will comply with the state
laws, will properly protect and guard
his machinery and thus greatly lessen
the number of accidnets occurring to
his employees -
