PASSED BY HOUSE.
Employers Liability Fill Goes Through
With One Vote Against It.

Washington. April with only
one vote recorded against it, that OF
Mr.. Iittlefield (Me), the house of
representatives Monday, under suspen-
sion of the rules, passed the Sterling
employers liability bill, after forty
minutes debate.
In brief, the bill establishes the
doctrine that the railroad companies
engaged in interstate commerce are
liable for personal injuries received
by employees in the service Of such
carriers. IL abolishes the strict COM
mon law rule of liability which bars a
recovery for the personal injury or
death of an employee occasioned by
the negligence Of fellow servant. 1t
also relaxes the common law rule
which makes cOntributory negligence
a defense to claims for such injuries.
A provision, however. diminishes the
amount of the recovery in the same
degree that the negligence of the in
jured one contributed TO the injury.
The bill further makes each party re-
sponsible for his own negligence and
requires each to bear the burden
thereof
