EMPLOYERS LIABILITY BILL


WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.--Senator Knox
of Pennsylvania, who has taken much In
terest in the litigation growing out OF the
Employers liability act, which was de-
elared unconstitutional yesterday, today

remedy the defects in the present bill
The bill is so drawn as to make 1t appli-
cable only to corporations engaged in
such commerce as congress has the I'M
doubted right to control, and to employees
of such corporations engaged exclusively
in interstate commerce.
The existing law is so broad as to cover
all transportation between states, but
Knox's bill is so modified as to limit its
operations to common carriers which are
operated by steam or similar motive
power.
