bill is an important modification OF
some of the old common law rules
which have relieved employers from
liability of damages where one en-
ploye. causes the death or injury of
another. Under this common law rul-
ing employers have been relieved
from liability where there is proved
any degree of negligence on the part
of an injured employee, no matter how
great the negligence of the employe
concerned. The old statute was de-
clared unconstitutional by the su-
preme court of the United States Jan.
+, 1908, on the general ground that
the act, being addressed 10 all COM
mon carriers, engaged in interstate
commerce, and imposing liability
upon them in favor of any of their
employees, without qualification or re-
striction as to the business in which
carriers or their employees may have
been engaged at the time of injury,
| o. necessity included subjects wholly
outside the power of congress to reg
ulate commerce. The Sterling meas
! sure avoids that criticism. The bill
aDolishes the common law doctrine of
fellow servants, which deprives an in.
jured employe Of the right to recover
for negligence of another servant
working for the same master and in
the same line of employment. The
measure also changes the law of con
| tributory negligence. The bill rem
ders void any contract of employ
Iment wherein the common carrier
seeks to exempt itself from liability
for personal injury. Many railroad!
in the country require as condition
Iof employment that the emplCye sigr
an agreement waving his right to sue
for personal injury. In reporting tht
bill the judiciary committee changed
the measure as originally introduced
Iby limiting it entirely to railroad car
riers. This relieves the coastwist
steamship companies, river steamship
companies, and companies engaging il
commerce on the lakes from the op
erauions of the law, it being consid
tered that provisions of the admiralt,
law in regard to liabilities are sufi
Gent to protect the employees of thes,
concerns.

claims Tor such injuries and permits
the employee to recover for injury
caused by the negligence of 4 CO
employee. The bin does not bar re-
coyery even though the injured one
contributed by his own negligence To
the injury. The amount of recovery
Is diminished in the same degree
that the negligence of the injured
one contributed to the injury. Two
employees of a railroad might by their
negligence wreck a train and kill
loo people, said Senator Elkins, and
yet the proposed law would pay for
the injuries received by those ON
ployes. He did not believe that was
a just provision. Senator Hepburn
wanted to have it known that ske
pending bill was not an unnixed
| blessing, as it would substitute this
federal legislation for legislation by
the states in the matters covered by
the bill. 1t would make necessary

Washington, D. c., April. IA warn
ing against increasing expenditures
for the military establishment of the
United States was sounded in the sen.
ate yesterday by Senator Hale, chair
man of the naval affairs committee
His alarm was taken up and repeated
by other senators.
The discussion was based on a
signed article printed in the Wash
ington Post today saying in effect
that Secretary Taft favored a reor
ganization and an enlargement of the
army that would bring it up 125,00(
men. The immediate occasion fol
Senator Hales speech was the pas
sage of the army appropriation bill
carrying nearly $100,000,000.
What is going on" said Mr.. Hale
without senate or the country be
ing aware of it, are the enormous in
creases of the military establishment
to the prejudice of all other appro
priations and claims. We canno
get consideration of other bills be
cause, as everybody knows, the reve
nues are waning and in not many
months ahead we shall be found
spending more money than come!
into the treasury.

A court decision at Denver, If fol-

withhold from hundreds Of foreigners
their final citizenship papers, and the
cause thereof seems well based.
Judge Lewis of Denver said as his
reason for throwing out half dozen
naturalization cases, in which he held
that a foreign born person must speak
the English language before he can
hold clear title to homestead:
& !" cannot allow any final papers
to be given said the court, where
the party seeking the same is unable
to speak the English language. He
cannot understand the laws of the
country, its constitution or any of the
acts that go to prove his citizenship.
