PAID HIS RESPECTS
TO THE LEGAL PROFESSION
President Samuel Gompers Discusses
Subject Of Employers Liability.

New York, Nov. 22.-Samuel Com

GUESSING the need in this country of
now laws 20 cover the subject of en-
ployers' liability and to provide ade-
quate compensation to wage earners
injured, by accidents.
"The lawyers will prevent our get
ting the best and the wisest law in
this matter" he said.> Il doubt if
there be any who have greater rever-
ence for the constitution than the men
of labor, but it seems exceedingly pc
culiar that the constitution should be
usually held up as barrier to the
economic and material progress of the
workers.
"All we can. hope for is a little
progress. For the present let us be
satisfied with establishing some sem

manded by such disasters as this most
recent one at Cherry. ILL.,. the justice
that would take from the shoulders of
the worker the risk and burden of
these losses
John Mitchell, who spoke at the
afternoon session, said: THE natural
conditions of mining in this country
are more safe than in Europe, but
nearly five men out of every thousand
employed are killed annually, whereas
in Belgium, England and Germany, the
average is about one to a thousand.
The fact is that in America it is
cheaper to kill men than to protect
them. First of all, our laws should
aim to protect our wprkers more ade-
quately."
George M. Gillette of Minneapolis,
discussing the present liability laws,
said that "the modern damage suit
is the most disturbing, expensive and
vicious phase of our industrial sys-
tenn" He added: More than half of
the millions annually spent for the
relief of damaged workmen goes to
the lawyers, andsthe workmen them
selves get only 20. or 25 per cent of
