OSBORNE BILL TO
FAVOR WORkMEN
WHO ARE INJURED
Essex Senator Has Measure
Broader Than that Gov
error Recommends.
NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS TO
BE PASSED ON BY JURY
Bases His Law on Federal Rule
of l90S-Thinks Employee
Is Being Disregarded.

All the administration measures to
be introduced in the Legislature this
year will not come from the Republican
side. The minority has a few bills to
bring out which nearly coincide with
some of those outlined by Governor
Fort in his message yesterday. Among
them is an employers liability bill
which Senator Harry v. Osborne, of
Essex, has in mind, and which he will
introduce as soon as the Senate gets
down to business.
THE provisions of the bill as l expect
to present it are almost identical with
those suggested by Governor Fort, ex-
cept that mine are a little broader"
said Mr.. Osborne today. For instance,
you will notice that the Governor says:
THE rule as to contributory negli-
gence of the workman himself which
results in his injury l would not relax
Will Relax Rightly.
My bill win relax it in part. 1t will
provide that the bearing of such negli-
gence Oh the accident shall be decided
by the jury and shall be k into 0
sideration in awarding damages.
II used the Federal measure intro-
duced in 1908 as a model, and followed
il as closely as possible. This makes
every employer liable to any employee
or his representative for all damages
for injuries which may result from the
negligence of the employers agents or
by reason of any defect or insufficiency
of any tool, appliance, machinery, ETC.,
furnished. by the employer. In all
actions for damages brought by an en-
ployee the fact hat he may have been
guilty Of contributory negligence shall
not bar him from recovery. That is
where the discretion of the jury comes
in.
Less Risk for Employees.
"Othcr clauses provide that no en-
lployee shall be held to assume the risks
Incident to his employment unless there
Is c~ontributory negligence. Neither shall
an employee be held to have assume
risks where the statute has been
violated by the employer. Any contract
(which the employer may have made
with the object of exempting himself
from liability for damages is void,
although any sun he may have con-
tributed for indemnity for employees
may be set aside from the damages.
"What | want to do is to get a law
that will give some protection to the
man employed. AT present he is the
only person held responsible for mis- in
juries. l am not directing this against
the employers, exactly. The idea is
that the cost of damages for injuries
should be taken into the cost of pro-
duction. When a w~orkingman is in
jured his support eventually falls upon
the people at large, anyway, and he is

4 Minneapolis, July 13.-With> light
receipts and higher cables it was
Expected that bull market would de-
syelop but the opening found plenty
of wheat for sale and a quick de-
Cline of 7sc resulted. On the break
however, Duluth was large buyer
of September and export talk was in
the air that eventually frightened
the shorts to cover and the loss was
more than regained and September
closed at $1.141s the high point of
the session. Threshing returns
from the southwest run from six
teen to- twenty-five bushels to the
acre which would mean a fair yield
Ebut they are handicapped by the
fact of delays in getting wheat to
market and no heavy run is ex-
Epected for a week or two. In the
meantime the bulls in July are hav-
ling everything their own way and
lin the local market the close was
|1hc higher than the previous one.
