REVISION OF ITEMS
OR SCHEDULES.

Oft SSttEDOBcS.
The text OF the joint rule introduced
by CONGRESSMAN Hill in the House is
as follows:
Whenever a bill for raising revenue
shall originate In the House Of Rep
resentatives and. having been passed
by the House. shall have been received
in the Senate Il shall In the Senate
be subject to such amendment only as
or taxes on articles therein named, and
no amendments laying duties or taxes
on articles not included in the bill as
received from the House shall be In
order. either to the bill as received
IN the Senate or as amendments to the
Senate amendments when they may be
considered In the House.
As the Constitution gives the House
the exclusive power Of initiating reve.
nue. bills. 1t would seem to follow that
the Senate should not be allowed to
attach to House measures amendment
extending their scope-in effect. intro
ducing revenue propositions which did
not originate in the House. Yet. this
has been done for many years. Mr..
Hills proposed joint rule. IL passed by
both House and Senate. will estop this
apparently unconstitutional procedure.
and will permit action upon one sched-
ule or one item of a schedule only.
which would retire from service the
logrolling practice. by means of which
1t has been possible for highly and
unjustly protected interests to combine
in each others aid and force through
any measure embodying their wishes
There seems to be possibility of
passing the Hill rule. If not in the
present Congress. then assuredly in
the next. The only visible obstacle.
apart from the votes Of standpatters,
Is the talkativeness Of Senators. their
ability. in default Of any closure rule.
to talk measures to death which Is one
form Of filibustering. but a Demo-
cratic-Insurgent combine may effect
change in the Senate rules.
President Taft advocated. in his
message. tariff revision by individual
schedules. which is not such advanced
reform as Mr.. Hill urges-that is. re-
vision by Individual ems. Some for
ner standpatters who have come to
realize the actual meaning of the No
venber elections have pronounced for
individual schedule revision. among
them so staunch an upholder Of AL
drichism in the past as Senator Lodge
Of Massachusetts,. The situation ia.
therefore, hopeful.

AFTER FELLOW
SERVANT LAW
Railroad Union Men to
Fight It With New En-
ployers' Liability
STUDY ACTS ELSEWHERE
Want Injured Trainman to
Have Same Standing AS
Passenger on the Cars

New Haven. Dec. 27-That various
important bodies Of organized labor,
employed on the New Haven railroad
sys -em. will go before the incoming
session Of the Connecticut Legislature
with a bill covering the employers
liability law and seeking to do away
with the clause which now prohibits
or binders the employe from securing
financial remedy from the corpora
ton for which he is working. under
he Fellow Servant clause. was made
known in this city last night.
The matter is one that has been I'M
der consideration by these bodies for
long time. and counsel has been en-
plOyed. 1t is said. to investiga e just
how far the laws Of bther States apply
to this subject in contravention to the
presen. State law Of Connecticut. This
will be shown when the proposed bill
finally comes up for hearing in Hart
ford.
Among other things it is claimed that
seven States of the Union have a fairer
form of the employers liability act
than hat which Connecticut now has.
Very many of the States have COM
parative negligence law covering the
Fellow Servant clause which mOdifieS
the employers liability bill to the ex-
tent of showing how great a share OF

fatality should rest either upon the
aggressor or the victim thereof.
Unions among others interested in
the PRONUNCIATION of the new bill are:
The Order Of Railway Conduc ,ors. the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainrnen and
the Order OF Railway Telegraphers. A
meeting of the representatives Of these
to discuss the situation will be held
some time this week.
It Is claimed among the men who
are back of the proposed bill that it
will very probably be holly fought by
the railroad company and by various
Of the large employers of labor in the
State.
A representative of the unions said
last night that in a general way they
would ask to have the Fellow Servant
clause removed. and to place the train
man who was injured. or killed who
ever he might be. on The same grade
of remuneration as is the passenger
on a railroad. He said that the mat
ter of acceding to the death limit of
$4,000 for death. as is now the law
for persons who are no employees. has
not yet been considered.

It is. says the Hartford Courant,
''the general understanding that he
Gov. Baldwin, will make as rong
nomina tons as he can and will leave
the responsibility of confirmation to
the Senate, and 1t Is also currently
reported that the Republican majority
will incline to accept nominations
which are above criticism"
There is not the least doubt that
Gov. Baldwin will make nominations
which will be above criticism. pro-
vided OF course that he is not misled
by information furnished in support
of aspiran.s. He will probably exer-
else the same acute Judgment in select
ing men for office that he would apply
to legal case coming before him.
