ENDORSEMENT OPPOSED.
Cigar Manufacturers Object
Stamp on Philippine Boxes.

The stamp placed by authority of the
Philippine so eminent upon boxes of
cigars exported from the islands to the
United States certifying to the quality
of the cigars is highly objectionable to
the domestic cigarmakers. The OPPOSE
ton appeared when a delegation of manu-
facturers was escorted to the War De-
partment today by Representative Acott
of New York and introduced to Secretary
Dickinson and Gen. Edwal DIS, chief of the
insular bureau. The delegation was head
ed by President Jacob Worthheim of New
York and Vice President A. NJ. Jenkin-
son of Pittsburg of the Cigar Manufac-
turers' Association of America. They set
out at length their objections to the use
of the stamp, which they commended was
calculated to mislead smokers into the
idea that the Philippine cigars were
guaranteed by the United States govern
ment.
Secretary Dickinson promised to con-
slider the matter and the delegation after
ward paid a visit to the Treasury to con-
suit the officials there.

Hearing February II.

The bill is now being given serious con-
sideration by the judiciary committee OF
the House. and hearing on it has been
ordered for February H. to which prac-
tically all of the prominent railroad men
Of the country have been invited.
The legislation if enacted would over
turn the present employers liability law
and, In fact, revolutionize the existing
system of indemnity for personal in
juries.
Representative Moon of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the subcommittee of the jul
dietary committee, analyses the bill In a
letter which at has sent to officials OF
the leading railroads. Mr.. Moon says, in
part:
1T eliminates entirely all common law
or statutory defenses based upon the
principles of 'contributory or compare.
tive negligence the existing doctrine OF
negligence of co-employes' and of risk
of employment and subjects the common
carrier to a fixed and definite liability for
injury death to employees without re-

SOAP CLOGS CITY SEWERS.
Hardens in Pipes in Orange, N. J.,
After Tank Bursts.

NEW YORK, February THE burst
ing of tank OF soap in the process of
manufacture a few days ago has given
the sewer department of Orange. N. j..
the biggest job of sewer cleaning that it
has had since the pipes were laid years
ago. The accident occurred in a factory
in the eastern end of the city. and there
IS no telling how many tons of the sticky
mass got into the pipes. 1t is there and
the cooling it was subjected to has stop
ped the mains completely.
For a mile along the line of the sewer
from the factory men are working day
and night at each manhole, trying to
pierce the mass. The soap is as hard as
1t would be If 1t had been dried for
weeks and comes out of the pipes in
hard chunks. 1t looks as If there were
long job ahead of the department and
plenty of work for the board of health
if it is delayed very long.

PAYF0R THE INJURED
SABBATH Bill Before House
Judiciary Committee.
TO BE HEARD FEBRUARY II
Legislation, if Enacted, Would
Overturn the Present Employers
Liability Law.
70 BE HEARD FEBRUARY II

Representative SABBATH of Illinois has in
troduced a bill defining the amount of
compensation to be paid by employers to
employees in cases of injury or death, bas-
ing it upon the amount of the previous
earning power of the victim. and pro-
viding that 1t shall be paid in the form of
an annuity.
The bill is based upon the existing laws
of England and Germany. Such lcgisa-
tiol was favored in one of the messages
of former President Roosevelt, and Presi-
dent Taft also Is said to have commented
fayorably upon it.
Applies to Interstate Operations.
The bill is applicable to railroad and
steamship companies engaged In inter-
state or foreign commerce and to any
company engaged in any capacity in
handling the mails of the United States.
Even the United States government would
be bound under its terms to pay COM
pensation to its employees in the postal
service injured or killed in the per-
Torrance of their duties.
In the event of the death of an employe
as result of injuries, employers would
be required to pay an annuity equalinS
20 per cent of his average monthly earn
ngs to his family or next of kim Fifty
per cent of the employees maximum
monthly earnings would be paid in case
of total disa biity not exceeding six
months. Beyond that length of time
the injured employe would receive two
thirds of the amount of his earnings
during the period of impairment.
The bill would establish a court, to be
known as the federal commission of in
jury awards, and to consist of three
members to be appointed by the Presi-
dent at salaries of 5000 per year each,
with full authority to inquire into and
prosecute claims and to employ necessary
assistants.
