on their trainmen, train dispatchers,
and telegraph operators, Congress, in
March, 1907, passed the act limiting
the hours of labor for this class Of
employees. By an earlier act, that Of
June, 1898, Congress had made pro-
vision for the arbitration of disputes
between the railroad companies and
their employees as to wages, hours of
labor, and conditions of employment.
To promote and protect the safety Of
railroad employees the So-called Safety
Appliance Law Of March, 1893, was
passed, providing, among other things,
for an improved brake and car-coupler
system. The act also provided, that
in case the railroad companies did
not comply with it's provisions any en-
ploye, receiving an injury in conse-
quence thereof, should not be deemed
to have assumed the risk even though
he continued in the employment after
the failure of the company to comply
with the provisions of the law. The
scope of the act was enlarged and
strengthened by the act of March 2,
1903, and still further greatly enlarged
and fortified by the act of April IA,
1910. The three acts combined make
strong and broad safety appliance
code for the relief and protection of
railroad employees. The safety ap-
pliance laws have also been supple
mented by the so-called ash pan act
of March 3, 1908, requiring locomotives
to be equipped with an ash pan which
can be emptied and dumped without
the firemen crawling under the loco
motive.
For years the federal courts had
been applying harsh and arbitrary
rules against railroad employees when
they or their families sought to re-
cover damages for injuries or loss of
life occurring in the service, and as
a consequence all railroad companies
that could do so transferred the suits
brought against them into the federal
courts, where 1t was exceedingly diff
cult, in most cases, to secure compen-
sation, by reason Of the fact that the
courts applied the fellow servant rule,
and the rule of contributory negligence
with great strictness, and by also ap-
plying the assumption of risk doc
trine. These were all court-made rules
that had no direct statutory basis. To
cure this evil and to afford the rail-
road employees fair show for recov-
cry Congress passed the so-called EN-
ployers Liability act of June 10, 1906
But the supreme court held, by a bare
majority, this act to be invalid be-
cause it covered state as we'll as in
terstate traffic. To overcome the eff
feet of this decision, the Congress
passed the Employers Liability act of
April, 1908, which is not open to the
defect discovered by the court in the
earlier law. Under this last act, as
under the former, the fellow servant
rule is eliminated and contributory
negligence is no bar to recovery, but
only bears on the measure of damages
and not even on that when the injury
occurred through the failure of the
railroad company to comply with the
safety appliance laws. The rule as to
assumption of risk is eliminated and
the railroad companies cannot limit
their liability by any contract, rule,
regulation, or other device. This act
is just one, and has accomplished
most vital reform. In this connec-

step in advance and taken in the face
OF persistent and long-continued oppo-
sition on the part Of the railways. It
was evident, however, that the act of
1906 did not go as far as it should
have gone in some particulars, espec-
tally in not comforting the rate-making
power upon the commission on it's
own initiative, and In not allowing it
to examine and pass upon new rates
before going into effect. President
Taft brought to the attention of Con-
gress, at the beginning of last session,
the necessity for further amendments
to the act of 1906 in order to make it
more effective and more remedial,
and Congress again took up the sub
ject and passed the act Of June IS,
1910. This act conferred upon the
commission, subject to appeal to the
courts, the full rate-making power to
be exercised by the commission on it's
own initiative as well as when COM
plant was made. It also empowered
the commission to suspend new rates,
for investigation and determination,
for a period of ten months in all, to
the end that if the commission found
such new rate unjust and unreasonable
it could veto the same and prohibit
it's taking effect. The commission
was also given the power on it's own
initiative, or on complaint made, to
establish through rates and joint class
ifications. The so-called long and short
haul clause of the act of 1887 was
also amended in the interest of inte-
rior local points, so that greater
charge cannot be made for shorter
than a longer haul on the same line,
as had been done in the noted Spo-
kane case and in many other instances.
The act not only embraces railroads
within it's scope, but also express and
sleeping car companies and telegraph
and telephone companies. The act
also gives the shipper the right to
route his shipments; that is, the right
to designate the route on which his
goods are to be shipped. Prior to
the enactment of this law appeals
from the decisions of the commission
could be taken to the various circuit
courts of the country. This act Great
ed Court of Commerce, consisting
of five circuit judges to which all APP
peals in the future are to be brought.
The act also makes many other ma
terial amendments of a highly rem
edial character, of which l have not
the time to speak in detail. While
great progress in the matter Of rail-
way regulation and control was made
by the act of 1906, the act of 1910
took much further and a much more
substantial step in advance Exper-
fence will, no doubt, demonstrate that
further remedial amendments may be
needed. After the law has been in
OreratiOn and tested we can heftor
determine what further steps to take
The subject is of vast and COM
pIicated character and in this case, as
in many other important matters, re-
forms cannot be accomplished in a
day, a month, or a year, or by the
wholesale.
One of the evils appertaining to
railway companies has been that of
over-capitalization. The act of 1910
provides for the appointment by the
president of a commission to investi-
gate this subject, and have no doubt
that the report Of this commission will

the purpose of checking and repress-
ing all kinds of rebates and discrim-
nations, and for this purpose it has
proved quite effective, but this law,
too, failed to confer the rate-making
power.
The demand for further railway reg
ulation legislation continued to grow
apace. The public were very anxious
to have the rate-making power con-
ferred upon the commission. Presi-
dent Roosevelt took up the matter
and earnestly pressed it upon Con-
gress, and under this pressure Con-
gress finally responded by passing the
act of June 1906, largely amending
the act of 1887 in many important de,
tails and comforting upon the commits
sion the rate-making power, but limit
ing it's exercise to cases where com
plant was made. This was great

News from Australia.

The following concerning ]. D
Audley Smith is taken from the
Bundaberg Mail, Australia. Mr..
Smith was the second assayer EN-
ployed by the a. G. Co. here. He re.
sided in Clifton about ten years and
| has been in Australia since he left
here ten years ago.
A DISTRICT Loss.
In eight or ten weeks time Mr.. ].
D. Audley Smith; general manager OF
the Queensland Copper company :
properties at Mt. Perry, New Moonta
and Many Peaks; will sever his con-
nectiou with the district; having def
nitely decided to leave Qeenslaud.
His esignation was rendered month
ago, and Mr.. Smith is remaining only
until such time as business arrange
ments are completed with his com
pany. The departure of Mr.. Smith
means distinct loss to Mt. Perry
where his sound common sense and
honest practical advice, always free
Iv given. is very much appreciated
Mr.. Smith although of somewhat re-
firing disposition, was always promi-
nent in aiding local movements of d
progressive nature, be took fore
most hand in helping charitable in
situations whilst genuine sporting d nd
other bodies received a full measure
of his sympathy and support and in
this respect the Volunteer Ambu-
lance Brigade and the Rife Club in
particular will lose an ardent helper.
Beyond the fact that the district can
i'll afford to part with one of its best
men from a social and commercial
point of view there are other factors
that lead to the coming severance
being one that is much to be de-
plored. During the five years since
Mr.. Smith assumed to the control of
the 9. G. G. properties, aud which
period terminated on the 18th Febru-
ary last, he has remodeled the whole
of the vast smelling plant connected
Herewith, and brought the work
completely up-tO-date, SO much so
that at the present time the eX-
traction of copper ore compares
favora bly,. according to the highest
authorities. with that of any works
in the world. He was the instigator
of the sinking of Mines shaft by
which the cost and convenience of
working The main portion of the
mine has been considerably reduced
and simplified, and he was one of the
first to realize the value of the Nor
mandy portion of the property more
especially the Palmer section. And
it was upon his strong advice and
presentation that the directors de-
cided to erect the concentrating
plant for the treatment of low grade
ores and which has been a marked
success and materially improved the
production of copper. Throughout
the intervening years there has been
i complete unity of feeling and pur-
pose amongst all portions of the
staff and hence the fullest harmony
has prevailed. Hence the staff feel
keenly the severance with one wi o

to all. In social circles and particu-
larly so in church affairs and where
MONIES are visited with sickness, uni
versal regret will be felt at the az

ton to say that Mr.. Smith does not
purpose leaving Australia.

Exceeded Speed Limit.

1t is reported that Mrs. Sam
Abraham was arrested this week for
exceeding Clifton's automobile speed
limit of 10 miles on hour. She had
taken her car to Metcalf and was re-
turning after dark along the rocky
trail above the Morenci Dairy when
she lost control of her car. She could
not stop the machine and most of
the time the two outer wheels were
off the trail and running in mid air
over Death Valley below.
On and on the iron monster flew
from the road and into Chase creek
going at the rate of 724 miles an
hour. Just as they crossed the
bridge to East Side she got the car
under control and stopped in front of
the hotel without misbap. A squad
of Clifton's mounted police came
dashing up 4j minutes later, having
followed the car from Longfellow at
break-ueck speed. The cars driver
was taken into custody but was re-
leased on $4,000 bail, Sam coming to
the rescue at this point with the
amount in cash. He had rushed to
his room and reached beneath the
mattress, pulling forth bag of gold,
counted out the $40, 200 and exclaim-
ed that they might have the balance,
S26, 900, left in the bag if they'd only
have mercy. He said, "This is
part of the money was able to save
from last years business. The other
$4,000 is in the bank. You are well
come to it."
Sam says he has wired Barney
Oldfild to arrange a race between
Mrs. Abraham and the great racer.
He will place all his money on his
wife.

above. We merely go by what we've
