Liability.

good deal of interest is being taken
in the employers liability question. A
frank discussion of the matter will tend
to show to a better feeling on both sides.
Accidents will happen to the best of
men as well as the best of machinery
Losses resulting from should be borne
by the business. Money now used to
keep working men out of CONDENSATION
for losses suffered by accidents can be
USED to provide means to prevent acct
dents. AT convention to promote uni
formity or harmony of state laws held
at Chicago, John Mitchell, viee-president
OF the Civic Federation, speaking on the
subject of compensation for Industrial
accidents, predicted that the workinpmeu
OF the country were about to get one of
two things-eithcr a law providing some
method of suitable compensation with.
ont wasteful litigation, or law that
would enables them to sue for compensa.
ton without wastefuI litigation, or a
law that would enable them to sue for
compensation with all the privileges that
a stranger now has when bringing a sim
liar suit. lie pointed out that old legal
rules discriminating workingmcn were
being broken down
The employers and the workinpruen
are not far apart on this score of com
pensation, said Mr.. Mitchell They
are nearer together than we are given TO
thinking. The chief difference now is on
the question of who shall provide the
fund from which the payment shall be
made. The English law, providing that
the injured employee shall receive half
his regular pay during his incapacity
as result of his injury, is receiving
much favorable attention. If that law
is adopted in this country, the working
man will contribute all his time, half
his wages during the time, and all the
mental anguish and physical suffering.
and itseems to me that is all a reasonable
people could ask him to contribute -
lie pointed ont that the compensation
of course, would be provided in the form
of insurance taken out by the employer.
Mr. Mitchell expressed the belief that
a proper law of compensation would op-
crate to lessen the number of fatal and
serious industrial accidents in America.
He showed that while the European coun-
tries are gradually lessening their per
centage of such accidents, the rate in
America is steadily increasing. He held
the present lack of compensation laws to
be largely responsible for the conditions
in this country

u. S. DISCARDS
AGED WORKERS
Like Junk After Long and Faithful
Service, Government Clerks Are
Put On Scrap Heap.

Lake old, WORKOUT machinery thrown
on the serapheap, hundreds OF aged clerks
in the various Federal departments are
being dismissed daily in policy with Pres
ident Taft efforts to cut down certain
operating expenses of the Government.
After having spent the best part of
their lives in the civil service of the
Government, their hair now whitened,
their fingers tremulous, their eyesipht
dim, these workers are dazed by the sud.
denness of the blow, and know not which
way to turn.
Some of those, recently discharged
have been in the service of the Govern
ment for over thirty years, and yet all
of them were told .'to go'' without the
Government making the slightest provi.
sion for their care now that the many
years of toll have drained all of their
energy and strength.
While the salaries of the President,
members of Congress and the other high
officials have been increased, the wage.
of the civil service employees have not
been raised for over fifty years. With
the cost of living ever increasing it ha.
therefore been impossible for these clerks
to save anything for a "rainy day.
Most of them had n continuous struggle
to make both ends meet
Now that the meagre income afforded
them through Government employment is
withdrawn, these hundreds of workers are
face to face with the grim specter of
naked want
On every hand Government officials de-
clare that it is impossible to have
Congress pass an old-age pension bill for
the civil servants of the Government.
Despite the fact that these soldiers of
peace have the same employer as the SOL
| diers of war, these ''can t do.it' states
men argue that Uncle Sam can t afford
it to put all of his employees on the same
| plane.
Very much on the order of the ''ben-
evolent schemes of the union .bustinp
employers is the remedy by the high de-
partment officials of the Government
| Their pension scheme amounts to com
pelling the underpaid clerks to put in a
percentage of their earnings into re.
tirement fund
In the meantime those that are now be.
ing discharged are without support. The
workers, who have given long and faith
full service to the richest Government in
| the world, are destitute
