Would Hold Employers and
Agents Responsible
for Loss.

Agitation for new and rigorous
employment Office law has been
started in this city, and an effort
will be made to bring the matter
before the coming legislature, ac-
cording to Ed Miller of the Peer
less and J. A. Bowler of the Wash
ington employment agencies.
This plan is to make the agent
criminally responsible IL he can
not show a written order from an
employer for all the men he sends
out to work, and to make the en-
ployer likewise responsible if he
fails to provide the work after Or
dering the men sent to him.
The plan is designed to cover
cases where an employer sends to
an agent for a certain number of
men and picks up crew on his
own account before the men sent
by the employment Office arrive.
AS stated by Miller, it is not
uncommon for a man outside of
town to order men sent to him and
when they arrive send them back
because he has meanwhile hired
all the help he needs. In that case
the men come back to the agent
and demand their railroad fare in
addition to the fee paid the agent
for the job. The agent has to pay
the fee, but balks on the fare.
The proposed law would, In
cases where orders were given and
not lived up to by the employer,
throw responsibility for the mems
expense on the employer If the
agent could not show an order he
would be the one to suffer.
1t is intended that when an
agent has a sign out for men, an
officer can enter his Office and de

fore the duel began.
The shooting was caused by DO

was editor. He named the elder

FATHER AND SON HELD
FOR KILLING CARMACK

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. TO-
A special session of the grand jury
has been called for tomorrow to
consider the case of Duncan b.
Cooper and his son, Robin, who
shot down and killed former
United States Senator Edward W..
Carmack on the street late yester-
day.
1t is expected that sensational
testimony will be given. 1t is un-
derstood that Cooper's son will
have a preliminary examination
this afternoon and that the case
will go directly to the jury.
Though Colonel Cooper did not
fire the shot, but stood by, revolver
in hand, while his son Robin killed
Carmack. both will be connected
jointly. 1t is understood that the
trouble caused by Carmack in
printing the stories about Cooper
in his paper, the Tennesseean, is
the result Of the primary fight.
Governor Patterson, a friend of
Cooper, issued statement today
tending to defend Cooper.
The governor says he was in con-
versation with. Colonel Cooper
shortly before the shooting. and
that Cooper gave no intimation
that he expected trouble. Cooper
did everything in his power to
avert trouble, he said, and wit
nesses will be produced to show
that the killing was not premedi-
tated.
1t is reported that one witness
will testify that Cooper's daughter
telephoned him yesterday. saying
her father had gone out to kill Car
mack, and asking that he be found
and disarmed.
The whole state is wrought up
over the affair, as the fight for the
nomination for governor. in which
Patterson defeated Carmack, was
extremely bitter The main issue
was the liquor question, statewide
prohibition being favored by Car
mack.
The shooting occurred a moment
after Carmack had saluted Mrs
Charles Eastman on the street. and
she was close spectator OF the
tragedy. Young Cooper is said to
have accused Carmack of hiding
behind y woman while lighting

MOTHERS POSSESSION.

The effort of Clinton D. Morgan
in his divorce suit against Myrtle
Morgan to recover possession of a

that Morgan is not the father of

claim on it.
Mrs. Morgan states that the
child was born two months after
their marriage and that Morgan
was aware of the facts at the time
and made no claims contrary to
the Present contentious of Mrs.

Morgan has provided for the

mand to see the order. If the lat
ter is not in evidence, calling for
the exact number of men adver-
tised for, the officer should be en-
powered to call in the sign and
discipline the agent.
Under the present system, with
no bond required and the license
law invalidated by asuperior court
decision, the police have no means
of regulating the business, and the
men who want to do an employ
ment business on the square are
classed along with those who do
not. There are many of the latter
and complaints are constant
A number of local agents are
said to be in favor of a law as
outlined and ready to work for its
passage this winter. They say they
are perfectly willing to incur the
risk of criminal responsibility for
all men sent from their Offices
without written orders, and on the
other hand want the employer re-
sponsible in the same measure for
all orders on which he fails to
keep his agreement.
An instance is cited by Miller to-
day in the case of two carpenters
whom he sent to Milwaukee rail
road work in Idaho. They found
that their jobs had been filed and
after disappointing experience in
trying to get work at other camps
came back to Spokane. Miller re-
turned the Office fees, but the car
penters demanded their expenses
and finally secured them from the
Milwaukee company by employing
a lawyer and cornering the rail
road representative after consid-
cradle trouble and worry.
Where these two men recovered
their actual expenses hundreds of
others unable to employ an attor,
ney get nothing. The new EN-
ployment law is intended to cover
all such cases.
