AUTOMATIC INDEMNITY FOR
EMPLOYEES NEEDED.

With the National Association OF
Manufacturers, many States, and the
Government working for the establish
ment OF a system Of automatic, en-
pIoyes' indemnity, there Is good rea-
son to believe that before many more
years this needed, economic reform VIII
have been accomplished.
Already States are beginning to put
INTO practical operation the theory
that employees, especially Of industrial
and utility corporations, are entitled
TO protection against loss Of time or
physical impairment, and that IN case
OF death due to the dangers Of their
trace those dependent upon them are
entitled to compensation for loss OF
support. Employers of laboz are be
ginning to recognize the necessity OF
granting such protection, and the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers IS
now engaged IN trying to evolve a Just
indemnity schedule for the use OF its
members. In pursuance of the direction
OF Congress, the President has Just ap-
pointed a commission to investigate
the questions of employers liability
and employees compensation for the
purpose Of laying before the national
aw-making body the groundwork OF
pan for automatic indemnity to en-
Ployes Of corporations transacting an
interstate business.
As in many other reforms pertaining
to conditions Of labor, we in this coun-
try have been slow TO recognize the
Justice and economic value of fixed
compensation for injury and accidental
death of workmen. The tendency OF
society TO allow such issues TO drift
has created a condition which is bad
for employer and employee Our policy
has not only made necessary but has
encouraged litigation of differences
W hich could better be settled directly
between the parties directly concerned.
Injured employees have fallen into the
hands Of INSCRIPTIONS lawyers, whose
tactics have been resented by en-
ployers, who have gotten into the
habit of resisting claims for injuries
to employees on general principles, with
out regard to the merits of the par
to lar cases. This Is but the natural
resist of the employers experiences
VIII a type OF attorney who stoOps to
a-y 5eceit, who would betray his client,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1910-07-13

or who would not hesitate to blaclznail
his clients employer If he could do SO
with profit and without danger.
Such a condition has thrown I'D an
almost unsurmountable obstacle be
tween employer and employee. At the
same time it has proved an obstacle to
the employee in his ghosts to collect q
Just indemnity. When injured he has
had 10 90 10 law, fight his case through
court after court, and finally turn over
half or more Of his ultimate compen-
sation t. his attorney. The time he
needs his indemnity Is Immediately al
ter his accident. The time his wife
and children need compensation for HIS
death Is Immediately after his death.
He or they should have It all. There Is
no reason the lions share should be
given TO another.
The purpose OF the movement for
fixed con cnsatIon Is to make the pay
ment of indemnity practically auto
matte following the occurrence of acci-
cent. The attorneys fees and court
expenses VIII be eliminated and the
money viii be received when most
needed. 1t is doubtful If the employer,
IN the end, VIII be put 10 more expense
than he Is under now. He, too, VIII
be saved legal costs, and his chance Of
being unjustly taxed at the hands Of
sympathetic juries viii be removed
Whether it costs him less, as much,
OF more, however, he VIII make TIE

No rlOre Park Agitation Now.

running Sin order" as the court de-
manded before the decision was
made
The moving of the entrance from
Palisade and Columbia avenues had
not been asked for by the local COM
m1ttee fathering the case against the
park, and great surprise was mani
tested when one night the old gate
way was suddenly found in darkness
and new entrances established sew
eral blocks away.
The committee hesitated to ask
for the removal of the entrance for
the reason that it was not thought
proper, said George H. Frew, of
the Citizens Committee, ito move it
so near the Cohen house on the one
side, nor too near to Grantwood on
the other. Of course, so far as Pail
SADIE is concerned, we are better off
as the situation is now"
Following the court decision the
judge appointed Frank P. McDer-
mott, a Jersey City lawyer, of the
firm of McDermott & Enright, as
special master in chancery, at the
parks expense, about 5000, to visit
Palisade with instructions to go near
the homes of the compliments in the
case and listen to the noises emanat-
ing from the automobile race He
reported that the noises were not OBJ
Jectionable, and the injunction was
later august y modified by allow
ing the automobile race to continue
running past the hour of the closing
of the aerial railway, at not less than
"a seconds at each circling of the
track. The gates of the park are
supposed to close by II o'clock every
night.
Any attempt to say that the COM
mittee did not accomplish great good
for Palisade would be ridiculous, be-
cause as it stands to-day there is not
the slightest objection to the park,
and many Palisadians find enjoyment
in going there. 1t certainly is the
best conducted amusement resort
anywhere in the country, freed as it
is from every Objectionable feature,
and where no intoxicants are sold of
any character. Mr.. Schenck has done
all in his power to do what has been
asked by our people, and says there
will be absolutely no cause from any
source for complaint in future. The
Citizens Committee worked for Pail
SADIE, and left no stone unturned to
get the best results. They had abso-
lutely no outside aid except their own
efforts"
