EMPLOYERS LIABILITY LAW.
Arguments Presented For and Against
Measure Before judiciary Committee

The judiciary committee held hear
ing Thursday Afternoon on the bill
providing for statutory definition of
employers liability in caseof injury
to employees. Judge Enoch Foster OF
Portland appearing in the role of the
principal opponent. During the course
Of his remarks he took occasion to
condemn the initiative and referendum
clause adopted at the last September
election for which he said he had no
use. Several other we'll known Maine
men spoke against the proposed en-
ployes' liability law and w. Il. Pat
tangall of Waterville appeared to be
It's only real friend. At least. he was
the only friend to put in an appear
ance at the hearing.
The bill in question was drawn by
Representative Pataangall and is
nearly the same he says. as the Ala
bama statute. He told the committee
that present day conditions had SO
complicated the Industrial situation
that the old common law was inada-
quate to the needs of today. 1t has be-
come necessary, so Mr.. Pattangall
said, to distinguish between employees
whom may be regarded as agents of
the employer, consequently affording
a claim against him for damages from
their neglect or culpability in acct
dents, and those who are fellow SER
cants. He thought that employers
would be sued less often if his law was
enacted but he wasn't very particular
whether the one offered by himself or
by Representative Hersey Of Houlton
was chosen. He admitted that the new
law might increase the rates on en-
ploycrs' liability insurance in the
State.
Ex-Supreme Court Justice Foster of
Portland then addressed the commit
tee in opposition to the law. He said
he was old-fasiOned enough to con-
denim a good deal of the recent legis-
lation which was being offered in
Maine and other states.
Judge Foster said that the proposed
measure would effect every person in
the State who employs labor and hun
'dreds of millions of dollars invested
in various enterprises. He thought that
the employers had some rights. The
new Jaw would upset all previous de-
cIsIons of the courts and would cause
the State to embark on a sea, the OPP
posite shore of which would never be
reached.

WAYS AND BRIDGES.
Restoration Of Portland Bridge and
Other Matters Considered.

An extended and exciting hearing
was expected Thursday afternoon be-
fore the committee on ways anu

of the feeling existing in regard to the
matter was shown the hearing was TO-
assigned to Feb. % at tn" request "t

DEXTER NORMAL SCHOOL
Arguments In Its Favor Listened to
BY Education Committee.

The members of the committee on
education listened for three hours
Thursday afternoon to arguments In
favor of the establishment of a State
Normal school at Dexter. The people
of Dexter and the surrounding sec
ton were present in force at the hear
ing and made an excellent presenta-
ton of their case which was in charge
of Representative Sawyer of Dexter
The chief arguments advanced were
that Dexter is the geographical center
of the state and that n Normal school
there would convene more pupils than
one located anywhere else in the State
and that the section comprising Pc
robscot and Piscataquis counties and
the eastern section of Somerset now
have no Normal school that is easily
accessible.
1t was pointed out that the scholars
of that section of the State are not now
attending Normal schools in any large
numbers due to the difficulty and ex-
pense Of reaching the same. Dexter
offers site for the building asked for
and also one of it's school buildings for
a training school. It's people offer to
open their houses, to pupils so that a
