Importance to Virginia and West

prayed for and that their mines are

since the delivery OF the opinion of the
court in the case referred to when
there has not been a sentiment, I
should say we'll nigh universally in the

construed by the court in conformity
with the opinion Of the court as will
give a remedy to employees for inju-
ries taking care, SO far as congress
OF the house may be able to do so that
the act to be enacted Is So framed
that it will be sustained by the courts.
l cannot tell just when, because with
respect to the fifteen thousand bills
that have already been introduced and
referred to the appropriate committee
ia the orderly transaction Of business
the house, as any other deliberate
