Safety Is a Duty.

SGtGIy IS q DuIys
1T Is not merely the duty OF the
wage learner, but it is also the duty
of the general public, to see that he
has safe and healthy conditions under
which to carry on his work. No work
err should be compelled, as a condi-
ton Of earning his daily bread, to risk
his life or limb, or be deprived of his
health or have to work under danger
Gus and bad surroundings.
Society owes the worker this be-
cause 1t owes as much to itself He
should not be compelled to make this
matter of contract; he ought not to
be left to fight alone for decent condi-
lions in this respect. His protection
in the place where he works should
be guaranteed by the law of the land.
In other words, he should be protected
during his working hours against greed
and carelessness on the part of I'M
scrupulous and thoughtless employers,
just as outside Of those working hours
both he and his employer are protect

Employers Liability
SO 1t is in the matter Of injuries to
employees. In what is called .em-

dustrial countries have accepted the
principle that the industry must bear
the monetary burden of its human sac
rifices. and that the employe who Is
Injured shall have a fixed and definite
sum. The United states still proceeds
on an outworn and curiously improper
principle, in accordance with which 1t
