RADICAL LIABILITY
BILL IN HOUSE
Measure Would Oyerturn
Present Statute.

Washington, D. c., Feb 12.-One Of
the most radical pieces of legislation
before the present congress, and one
which heretofore has not attracted
any great amount of attention, is
now being given serious consideration
by the judiciary comm ttee of the
house, and hearing has been or
dered for February II, to which prac-
tically all of the prominent railroad
men of the country have been in
vited
1t is the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative SABBATH, of Illinois, which
would require all persons carrying
on occupations and trades subject to
the regulative powers of congress-
including express companies and
sleeping car companies, to pay com
pensation on a fixed basis to injured
employees. The leg. Station, if en-
acted, would overturn the present en-
ployers' liability law, and in fact
revolutionize the entire existing sys
tenn of indemnity for personal fntu-

Indemnity Based ON Earnings.


The bill defines the amount of com
pensation to be paid by employers
to employees in cases of injury or
death, basing it upon the amount of
the previous earnings of the victim
and provides that it shall be paid in
annuities.
The bill is based Jpn the existing
laws of England and Germany. Such
legislation was favored in one of his
messages by former President Roose-
velt, and President Taft also is said
to have commented favorably upon
it.
In the event of the death of an
employe, as a result of injuries, en-
ployers would be required to pay to
his family or next of kin an annuity
equalling 70 per cent. of his average
monthly earnings. Fifty per cent. Of
the employers maximum monthly
earnings would be paid in case of
total disability, not exceeding six
months. Beyond that length Of time
the injured employe would receive
two-thirds of the amount of his earn
ings during the period of impair
ment.
The measure goes into the min
utest detail in regulating the pay
ment for injuries, specifying how
much shall be paid for the loss of an
eye, an arm, a finger, a toe, loss or
impairment Of sight or hearing, and
INCLUDING medical, surgical treat
ment. The loss of a toe is fixed at
5 per cent; the loss of both eyes at
rs per cent; the loss of the right
hand at 60 per cent
The bill would establish a federal
court to be known as the federal
commission of injury awards, and
to consist of three members to be
appointed by the president at sal
aries Of $4,000 a year. The court
would have full authority to inquire
into and prosecute all claims and to
employ necessary assistants
