new BILL DOES
NOT SUIT LABOR
Objections Registered Here to
Draft of Liability Law by
State Commission.
EMPLOYERS HEARD ALSO
Some Features That Do Not Meet
Latters' Views and Various Sug-
gestions offered at Hearing.

The Employers Liability commission
of the state Of Illinois. after holding
two open sessions at the local court
house yesterday, departed for Peoria,
ing to Chicago for the last open meet
ings. Yesterday afternoon the bill, as
it has been drafted in the rough, was
explained by the secretary. E. r..
Wright. His explanation was followed
by talks by E. H. Stafford of the legal
firm of Jackson, Hurst & Stafford, and
by j. F. Lardner, general manager of
the Rock Island Plow company, who
represented the Tri-City Manufacture
ers association.
In the evening employees represent
ing various trades unions in Rock Is
land and Moline and the Tri-City La
Dor congress were heard The discus
sion in the evening was general as
was the case at the afternoon session
Mr.. Wright again explained the BILL
taking it up, clause by clause. He said
that the purpose of the bill was to force
the employer to adopt a safeguard for
machinery, or some method of lessen
ing the chances for injury to the en-
ploye. He said that the proposed bill
would not take away from the rights
and advantages now enjoyed by the
employee, but would add to his protec-
ton by the plan. He stated that ILL
nois was much behind in framing laws
for the protection of employees, and
that many other states had adopted
laws such as the one in view by the
commission at the present time.
Objectionable Features.
Mr.. Alias. representing the local
machiniSts' union and the Tri-City La
Dor congress, was the first speaker fol
lowing Mr.. Wright's explanation of the
bill as drafted. He started in at the
beginning of the bill and pointed out
various clauses to which the organiza-
tions he represented took objection. AS
he went through the bill, Chairman
Charles Piez told how and why the bill
at present was the best that could be
hoped for, with few slight changes.
He stated that as many concessions as
it would be possible to give to the EN-
ploye had been given. He asked Mr..
Atlas, at the conclusion of his criti-
cisms, II he favored the bill for COM
pensation as a solution of the present
labor situation. Mr.. Atlas replied af-
firmatively.
Other men representing local trades
unions were called upon. One said
there were too many loopholes for the /
employer to crawl through when the |
time for payment came, and that the |
bill should contain more "shalls" and |
"musts." He said that the maximum |
and minimum amounts of money to be |
paid to the men were not enough. 1t |
was shown by NJ. J. Boyle of the COM
mission that under the proposed bill |
the minimum amount to be paid was
as much as had been paid on the aver |
age persons who had brought suits

ing those where the employer was at
fault.
Claim Danger In Piece Work System.
One other stated that if the piece
work system were eliminated and an
eight-hour day adopted workmen would
be less liable to injury.
Under the old system the employer
could evade payment for accidents re-
sulting in injury or death to the en-
ploye. Under the proposed bill it will
be impossible for him to evade pay
ment, unless he has a very strong case
showing that the employe, through SER
ious or willful neglect, has been been
injured.
An employee Of the Silvis shops, rep
resenting the carmen's union, said:
1--WE realize that we work under more
dangerous conditions than the aver
age workingman Recently a young
man had some fingers cut off at the
shop, and he will, perhaps, receive
nothing. To give protection in such
cases this bill will be the thing. and if
it is enacted as it now stands, l can
say lOT luG that We Will NC odl-
isfied"
Closer Relationship Needed.
At the hearing yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Lardner declared that the employ
ers of labor realized the necessity of
bringing into closer relationship the
employer and the employee, and that
aside from the moral aspect it would
prove beneficial to both sides. He fur
Their argued that the employers recog-
nize the necessity of protecting the
laboring man in case of accident and
that they favored law that would pro-
vide for the payment of physicians
care and hospital bills as we'll as the
loss of wages. He said that as the law
was proposed there were some objec-
tons by both the employer and the
employee, and he presented some sug-
gestions on behalf of the association he
represented. First of all, they would
favor bill that would be uniform as
nearly as possible in all of the states
in the union providing the indemnity
for all classes of workers without dis
elimination. They further favored
law that would be compulsory, arguing
that the common law should be made
imperative as to both the parties con-
cerned, and that the law should apply
to all classes of workmen, defining the
term wages with great particularly.
wisconsin Law ms Pattern.
Mr.. Stafford especially argued for
the elimination of the contributory neg
ligence and the fellow servant clauses
in the law. and held that the working
man should have a right at the time of
his employment to elect whether he
would contract under this law or the
common law. He cited the Wisconsin
law as a pattern and thought that it
should be studied in framing the law
for this state. He admitted that he
was not perfectly familiar with this
law but had noticed some good feat
ureS in it,

IS GREATEST CAMP
Peoria National Guard Meeting
Excels that of All Other
States.
9TH TO BE ON DUTY THERE
Governor Deneen to Be Present and
Have Headquarters; Camp Be-
ing Named for Him.

| OF all the camps of instruction for
none will be so extensive as the divis-
ion camp at Peoria, H., from Aug. 20
to 81. Not even the maneuver camps
| of the United States will assemble so
many men under arms and but few
will be commanded by an officer equal
in rank to Major General Edward C.
Young, commanding the post to be
known as Camp Deneen. In no other
camp will a commander in chief be
present throughout the entire tour of
DUTY the Peoria encampment being
unique in that respect, as Governor
Deneen will be present in person, es-
tablishing headquarters, having his
staff on duty and causing the 'adjutant
generals department to be removed
from Springfield to Peoria for the
week, making that city the military
headquarters of the state for the seven
days that the states soldiers are in
the field.
Only Artillery Missing.
Four general officers, a major gen
eral and three brigadier generals, will
be present. Three brigades of infan-
try and a regiment of cavalry will be,
on duty, every branch of the service
being represented save the artillery
which will go into camp with the
United States troops. But one infaD-
try regiment-the Fifth will be alb
sent, 1t having been ordered to join the
federal troops in camp at Fort Benja-
min Harrison. near indianapolis.
When reveille sounds on the morn
ing of the first day in camp, about g.,
GOO soldiers will be present. The 1000
tents will cover $50 acres of ground
and the camp will occupy approx
mately 500 acres. not including 1000
acres near the Illinois river, which will
be devoted to maneuver purposes. The
camp will be much larger than that in
Grant Park during the army tourna-
ment and the range of work will be
more extensive.
Lay Four Miles of Water Pipes.
Under the supervision of Lieutenant
Colonel Henry A Allen, chief engineer
officer, Camp Deneen is being prepar-
ed for occupancy. To properly provide
water four miles of pipe have been
laid. This is connected with the wa
terworks system of Peoria, but as
more power is required than that city's,
system can furnish, a great duplex
pump has been established at the
camp in order to furnish an adequate
distribution throughout the city of
tents.
An idea of what this camp will mean
in money expenditure may be gathered
when it is realized that the transpor
tation item alone will be 100000. The
pay of officers and men will be about
50 900 a day, or total for the week of
$50, 900. The feeding problem is by no
means small.

THE SWIMMING POOL.

When all along the country road
The dust was deep and white
And thunder clouds were piling up
With edges bold and bright,
How joyously with lessons done
1 used to leave the school,
And race across the meadows green
To seek the swimming pool.
A mirror for the bending skies
In crystal calm it lay,
Rejecting sweet celestial blue
And tender tints of gray.
With weeping willows on the brink
To keep it's waters cool,
1t beckoned US to take dip
The shady swimming pool

With fixtures up-todate,
And silver faucets hot and cold
Upon my pleasure wait;

So sparkling or so cool
