TRENTON, March 22.-There was {
sharp skirmisn in the House last night
when Mr.. Walsh introduced a resolution
To relieve the committee on municipal
corporations of his employers liability
bill, the first motion of the kind intro
duced this session. The resolution wa!
tabled after a speech by Majority
Le-der Edge.
"The Republican party will deal with
this as with all big questions" said Col
onel Edge. I'VE will treat it in a broad
big way with the best interests of tile
working men in mind and in a manner
that will result in the continuance OF
this party in the trust which has been
imposed upon it,
1t was explained afterwards that Sen
ator Alderman, author of the employ
ers' liability law, passed last year,
which Mr.. Walsh sought to amend, is
preparing to introduce a joint resolu-
ton calling for the appointment of a
commission to study the question of EN-
ployers' liability and repor to the next
Legislature with a recommendation.
Senator Alderman said that he had
been considering such a move for some
time, and would probably act tonight.
Mr.. Walsh, who pleaded eloquently
for his bill, said hat last year alone
the country suffered a loss of $500, 0O0' =
900 in its manufacturing and productive
power. He arraigned the Alderman law
as weak, and. although a step in the
right direction, needed vast improve
ment.
