PLEA FOR ROADS
MADE BYB. 20. MAN
Hugh L. Bond, Jr., Asks for
Modification of Employ
erS' Liability Act

That the employees of railroads in
jured in the line OF duty be given the
right TO choose between suing the rail-
roads for damages and accepting the
benefits provided for them by the relief
departments OF the companies. was the
plea made today by Hugh J.. BOND. s.,
third vice president OF the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. before the House
judiciary Committee, which is now con
sidering the pending employers liability
bills.
After pointing out that, owing to the
recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court. any legislation along
this line must be narrower in scope
than was at first supposed, Mr.. Bond
said:
'I beg Of this committee that it frame
it's legislation so as TO leave 20 an en-
ploye the choice Of whether he shall
have recourse TO the courts for damages
for injuries received or accept from the
company the benefit payments access
sible 10 him from the relief department
Of the company for which he works. OF
the cases of disability relieved last year
by the relief department Of the Balti-
more and Ohio, 50 per cent were for dis
abilities lasting less than thirty days
II IS easy TO see that recourse to the
courts would have offered no timely aid
or assistance TO such cases What the
employees want Is timely relief, and they
cannot get It always from the courts
Mr. Bonds speech. which was
throughout an argument 10 moderate
the terms % the bills against the rail-
roads and was not a plea for the defeat
OF the pending legislation. may be taken
as an example OF the position Of the
railroads. which is that they realize
that Congress has made up its mind TO
enact legislation Of this sort and that
the railroads must be content 20 OBJ
tain a law that Will be as favorable TO
Them as possible.

The public likes to laugh and the provocative Is furnished in this delightful sketch. It Is based on the question of mistaken identities. and the title, "A Much Mixed Affair" /" Is certainly fitting. A bright spot In this comedy Is the sde-splitting panto- mime of the little Frank girl soubrette who reminds one forclbly of Lotta Crabtreo and Anna Pixley.
