trade risk for industrial accidents tex
Guiding, of course, accidents due to
willful misconduct by the employe) on
the industry as represented by the en-
ployer, which in this case is the gov
ernment. In all these countries the
principle applies to the government
just as much as to the private en-
ployer.
Should Not be Forced to Sue.
Under no circumstances should the
injured employe or his surviving de-
pendents be required to bring suit
against the government, nor should
there be the requirement that in order
to insure recovery negligence in some
form on the part of the government
should be shown. Our proposition is
not to confer right of action upon
the government employe, but to secure
him sui able provision against injuries
received in the course of, his employ
ment. The burden OF the trade risk
should be placed upon the government.
Exactly as the woFkingman is entitled
to his wages, so he should be entitled
to indemnity for the injuries sustain
ed in the natural course of his labor.
THE rates of compensation and the
regulations for its payment should be
specified in the law, and the machin-
cry for determining the amount to be
paid should in each case be provided
in such manner that the employe is
properly represented without expense
to him. In other words, the compen-
sation should be paid automatically,
while the application of the law in the
first instance should be vested in the
department of commerce and labor
The law should apply TO all laborers,
mechanics, and other civilian en-
ployes of the government of the Unit
cd States, including those in the serv-
ice of the Panama canal commission
and of the insular governments.
Limit Abuse of Injunction.
Il again call your attention TO the
need of some action in connection
with the abuse of injunctions in labor
| cases AS regards the rights and
wrongs of labor, from blacklisting to
5oycOtting, the whole subject is COW
cred in admirable fashion by the re-
port of the anthracite coal strike COM
mission, which report should serve as
chart for the guidance of both legis-
lative and executive officers. AS re-
CARDS injun ctions, l can do little but
repeat what l have said in my last
message TO the congress.
