ice house at Hampden. There is jam
about 100 yards wide across the river
there and then water again up to the
wharves of the Eastern Mfg. Co, at
South Brewer. From that point to the
last of the ice field below the dam the
ice is cut by many channels and is
black and rctter. From the Eastern
Mfg. Co to High Head the field of ice
is fairly strong in appearance but the

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY BILL
To Be Re- drafted According to Amend.
mcnts BY Senate Committee.

Washington, April 1.-The House ju-
dietary committee today cleared the
way for a speedy report of the en-
ployers' liability bill discussion, of
which has engaged much of it's atten-
ton for weeks past. Final amendments
were agreed to, and sterling of Ills,
the author Of the measure, was given
authority to re-draft the bill accord
ingly. In it's new form the bill will be
reported to the House next Friday
with the recommendation that it pass.
The present plan is to put the bill
through the House next Monday under
suspension Of the rules.
The committee today struck out the
paragraph originally desired by the
President, extending the liability Of
railroad companies to employees on
mail cars without regard to whether
these cars are engaged in interstate
transportation Of the mails, the Presi-
dents theory being that the federal
authority over post roads is inclusive
of the carrying of all mails, whether
interstate or introstate and that hence
the specific authority given under the
ir terState commerce act need not be
invoked.
Another paragraph striker out was
that giving to the trial court the pow
er to assess against defendant rs
per cent. of the verdict of the damages
as attorneys fees for the plaintiff.
The bill as amended and as it will be
reported to the House supersedes the
ellow-servant doctrine and makes
railroad companies liable to employees
| enga ged in interstate commerce for the
negligence of employees working for
such companies. 1t abolishes the doc
trine that slight contributory negli-
| gence OH the part Of the injured par
| ty is a bar to a recovery of damages,
and provides that in such cases it shall
be, for the pury to weigh the evidence
as to negligence, contributory negli-
gence and determine it's verdict upon
the basis of deduct;ng from the total
amount of damages sustained a per-
centage equal to the percentage of neg
ligence contributed by the employee.
