There is a movement on foot
among the local labor leaders to
have Governor Dawson insert in

coming in a few days, a bill to
make employers liable for injuries
inflicted by guards in their employ.
Such a bill was before the senate at
the regular session and was defeated
by a close vote after 1t had been IA
vorably reported by the judiciary
committee.
1t is stated that the labor leaders
all over the state have taken up the
fight to have the governor insert
such bin in his call asking the leg
Islature to pass It at the special ses-
sion which convenes January rs. A
petition signed by some seven or
