M. MESSENGER FUNERAL.

Mr.. M. Mesinger died on Friday
evening at about $3.50 at his resi-
dence 81 Charities st., and was bur-
led in Adath Yeshurun Cemetery on
Sunday morning. He was the War
den of the Adath Yeshurun synago-
que, Vice resident of the Bickkur
Cholim society, District deputy of
the Order Birth Abraham, member
of the Sons of Hermann, and
Knights of Honor The funeral was
Largely attended; Rabbi Wilmer pro-
nounced the eulogy. He said in
part:
In him Cong. Adath Yeshurun
loses a man whom we will find it
difficult to replace. As paid officer
of the congregation he labored not
for the emoluments but for the love
of the synagogue with which he was
connected from the day that the two
small Minyanim united. Even in
his last long sickness, he had the
welfare of the congregation at heart.
He was kind-hearted, ever ready to
do a man a favor or run to procure
him employment. He loved truth,
and often expressed himself in Wig
orous terms, but in his heart dwelled
truth. Of jovial disposition, he was
good company The many months
of suffering should tend to cause us
to consider in his case death as a
relief and source of peace. 1t was
the careful and self-sacrifcing
nursing of his wife and children that
prolonged his days, and in the knowl-
edge Of having done SO well by him,
the family must find consolation.
May his soul rest in peace.

The bill creating a commission to
investigate the problem of an employ
ers' liability on account of accidents
to employees is matter of state wide
interest to labor and capital. The
bill was foreshadowed in suggestion
contained in the message to the 1egis-
lature from Governor Johnson early
in the session. It is designed to OBJ
tain such data both at home and
abroad as will enable the commission
to draft bill covering the whole SUBJ
ject which will be satisfactory both to
the employers and the employees. The
commission is to report to the next
legislature.
It is alleged that under the present
laws the bulk of the damages on ac-
count of accidents obtained in the
courts goes to the legal profession.
The commission will consist of three
men appointed by the governor. One
of whom will be w. E. McEwen, state
labor commissioner. The bill intro
