The New Liability Law.

Congress has been commercially
prompt in complying with the presi-
dents recommendation for the enact
ment of an employers liability law to
replace the act of 1906. declared in
valid by the federal supreme court
The new measure appears to give all
the protection possible to railroad en-
by the judicial decisions
Under the new law the fellow ser
want principle has been modified so
that the negligence of another en-
ploye will no longer relieve the en-
ployer of all responsibility, nor will
the contributory negligence of an en-
ploye destroy his entire claim for
damages. He will be entitled to dam
ages to the extent that he can show
that his employer shares the respon-
sibility for his injuries. The new law
is narrower than The old law, as il
applies only to common carriers by
railroads" operating in interstate com
mon carriers. The former provision,
applicable to all common carriers
was the clause which caused the in
validating of the old law, the supreme
court holding that federal authority
extended to common carriers only
while actually engaged in interstate
| commerce
In the earlier law congress took the
broad stand that in regulating inter
state commerce it could regulate the
| conduct--of-~ PERSONS apdz-corpo
engaging in it. but The majority of the
supreme court held that the power o.
regulation extended only to actual in
terstate traffic and did not extend Il
the conduct of enterprises engaged
partly in intrastate and partly in in
| terstate transportation. This disiinc
| iion- was clearly drawn by the s,l
preme court and the new law hs
been framed to obviate the difficulty

chow foreigners always speak very
loudly when talking with other per-

II mean that foreigners travelling
2bout in this country conduct their con-

The ssame is true of them in restau-
rants, where they discuss the most
private matters openly and loudly.
They have abundant confidence that
no one else will know what they are

We passed several Italians who were
