troduced the administration bill amending
certain features OF the employers liability
act but whose bill was laid aside for the
house measure, is pushing this bill when
ever he gets a chance and hopes to have Il

ton arises or where the railroad company

necessary by decision Of the circuit Judge
in Texas who held that suit had 70 be

II provides the right OF action in case OF
death OF employees shall survive TO the
widow or husband and the children OF the
deceased, and II none. then to the next OF
kin dependent upon the employe for sup
port
The bill was prepared in consultation
with the president, the Department Of Jus
tice and the Interstate Commerce commits
sion. together with representatives OF en-
| ployes OF different railroads.
The fight in the senate has settled around
an amendment supported by Senators Hale

the insurEent member, that the chairman
