LIABILITY ACT is UPHELD |
JUDGE EMORY sPEER sUsTAINs
THE EMPLOYERS LAW.
Declares Congress Has Right to Pro-
tect Men Engaged in Handling
Any Commerce.

Macon, Ga, March 27-United
States Judge Emory Speer Monday in
decision in the case of Lucy Snead,
administrative, against the Central of
Georgia Railway company, upheld the
constitutionality of the employers
liability act, passed by the last con-
gress.
This decision is opposed to those OF
United States Judge Evans at Louis
vile, and Judge Mccall at Memphis,
who declared the act repugnant to
the constitution of the United States.
Judge Speer declared that to COM
mand, to prohibit and to protect men
engaged in the handling of commerce,
whether interstate or foreign, is with
in the domain of national legislative
regulation. Congress having the right
to control commerce ON the high seas,
as established by the courts repeated
ly, it follows that it has the right to
control the transportation by land of
the same commerce.
The creation of the interstate COM
merce commission, the enactments
against arbitrary and discriminating
rates, the adoption of the antitrust
law, forbidding combinations in re-
straint of trade, held directly ap
plicable to railroads, even though
chartered by states, the law denounc-
ing rebates and forbidding passes in
interstate traffic, are quoted as illus
trations of the power of congress to
control such matters. Judge Speer
shows that many states and foreign
nations have adopted the law which
congress has enacted, although many
states, forbidding an employee to re-
cover for injuries sustained by the
negligence of co-employe, have
maintained and enforced the law. Con-
gress, determining that there should
be uniformity for the protection of
the million or more employees of rail
roads in the United States, enacted
the law of which the constitutionality
is called in question.

country towns to grow. We wish the
city merchants to build up, but we
also desire the country merchants to
prosper. I do not believe in the mail

enough for man to live in and to
make his money in, it's good enough
for him to spend his money in.

From this viewpoint Mr.. Bryan's
