beer too cheap TO protect; give the

That was part OF the publicity bat

For years the worst conditions re-
garding the protection OF labor dis
Qraced Oregon. Today Oregon has
the broadcast liability law in the ma

come by itself.
The step ahead started in the
ranks OF the Electrical Linemen's
Union. The light and power trus,
maintained deadly wires on rottinc
poles linemen died. fixed juries from
the coroner's Office to the circuit

So. the linemen took their fight to
the Central Labor Council, the couu-
ell finally got behind the fight, and
an employers liability law was ini-
tiated that was "a real protective law,
as well as certain reCompense for
the stricken family.
The measure went on the ballot
and then big business paved the air

brought To bear ON the measure

Beaten all along the line prior TO
the state election, as last resort big
business got up liability law itself.

board to think the matter over. and
Ollbi VI tiIt ltElSiutllTt iii the course
of "a few decades something resemb-

neither
But labor, and the grange. and the
free press OF the state talked heart
TO heart with the voters. and last
November saw the real liability
pleasure become a law, and the fake
one defeated.
What is this oregon law?

persons engaged in construction

enough that the corporation or ON
Dioyer was responsible which is some
different from the old game of killing

prove that il was not his own care

servant.
Under this law the head OF the cor
poration, or contracting firm, or the
rea, man higher up is responsible III
rectly and personally; his bosses and
foremen and managers are merely his
agents he is responsible for their
acts himself, and their acts are his
doom, in case OF a just suit for dam

Power Co, for instance, won't send

and then give the widow OF the re-
sulting mangled body funeral cx-

for all damages.

lot of trust lawyers, of course,
are now trying to pick a hole in the
law, and there may be some few sI-
preme court cases, but in Oregon
legal red tape doesn't bother much.
