law is not wide enough In it's appli-
cation has been demonstrated time
and again, and never more forcibly
than by the two fatal accidents sus-
tanned by Electrical Workers of Lin
coin this week. The law as it stands
at present applies only to railroad
men engaged in the actual running of
trains. Narrow as this law is, it was
accepted by workingmen as perhaps
the best that could be secured at that
time. The editor of The Wageworker
and others identified more or less with
the organized labor movement, APP
peared before the house committee
having the bill in charge and endeav-
ored to have the bill amended so as
to include other hazardous occupa-
tions, but the effort was unsuccess-
full.
There are several occupations that
are as hazardous as railroading.
Among Cnem may De enumerated the
Electrical Workers, the Structural Iron
and Steel Workers and Cassion men.
Doubtless statistics will show that in
proportion to numbers the Electrical
Workers lose more men by accident
than any other tradesmen. Why, then,
should the employers liability law be
limited to the one class?
If the legislature of 1909 wants to
score a hit with the workingmen of
the state it will amend. the employ
er's liability SO as to " N its scope
and include more workerB in its bene-
fits.
