EMPLOYERS LIABILITY
BEFORE CONGRESS JAN. |
Commission Appointed Last
March Meets Here Monday
to Formulate Report.

Under instructions to present it's final
report to Congress by the LIST Of January
next. the employers liability and work.
mems compensation commission ap-
pointed last March to devise a plan for
insuring compensation to injured en-
ployes Is preparing to enter upon
the final stages Of it's work and will
meet In this city next Monday to formu-
late tentative recommendation.
Senator Sutherland Of Utah, who Is
chairman Of the commission, said today
that after the commission had decided
upon the terms of the measure to be
suggested the doors would be thrown
open and the interested public invited to
express its opinion. He was Of the opin-
ion, however that the commission would
require at least q week for deliberations
in executive session.
Many Plans Advocated.
In the hearings which have been held
the utmost latitude of expression has
been permitted and many plans have
been advocated. There are six members
of the commission, and it is expected
that variety of views will be found To
prevail among them.
Chairman Sutherland favors the Eng
lish plan of direct assessment on the
employer for injury resulting to an en-
ploye because Of his employment, wher-
ever the responsibility may rest; but
others support the German plan of a
general tax on employers and a common
fund from which all injured employees are
paid through the government.
This system the Utah senator regards
as unsuited to the American form of
government, because of the danger of
abuse to political manipulation and per-
sonal favoritism.
Scope Of Proposed Law.
Other important questions to be deter
mined concern the scope Of the proposed
law and its character as affecting en-
ployers. Mr.. Sutherland advocates a COM
pulsory statute. but would have it apply
only to the employees Of railroads engaged
in interstate commerce. Some others pre-
fer the elective plan because of possible
constitutional objection. and still others
think the proposed law could be made
applicable to all corporations.
These are nice questions" said the
require much time to reach common
ground. But the commission has been
giving careful attention to it's work, and
we are hopeful OF q satisfactory out
come"

Favors Drawing Up Brief.

Mr.. Sinclair said he believed the Cham
compiled setting forth its arguments
against a change in the organic law as
far as appropriations are concerned. and
should place that brief in the hands of
every member of Congress.
In order to show how manifestly unfair
it would be for the federal government to
pay less than one-half of the amounts
appropriated each year for the District Of
Columbia, Mr.. Sinclair quoted from a
Senate document printed in 1904, which
showed that the federal government owns
property of much greater value in the
District than does the body of citizens.
This report showed that in 1904 it had
been estimated that the property owned
by the government in the District, exclu-
sive of streets and avenues, was worth
$264, 156.956 The property owned by the
citizens at that time was $213. $50 41S.
making the excess value Of the real prop
erty owned by the national government
$50, 800. 53S.
Today the government owns much
more property in the District than it did
in 1884," said Mr.. Sinclair. land it Is
constantly Withdrawing more property for
its own use. This makes the taxable area
in the District less and less
Fear Premature Action.
ID. ]. Kaufman and w. s. Hoge asked
il the preparations by the committee to
resist an attack on the organic law
might not be premature, and stated that
they believed 1t would be better not to
start an agitation against such a change
until steps looking to that change ha6
been taken by members of Congress
They agreed. however after hearing the
statements Of other members of the com
mittee that II would be well to prepare
such a brief that suggested by Mr.
Sinclair and have 1t ready to lay before
Congress If the attack upon the organic
law is made.
Mr.. Mcfarland stated that he did mo-
believe there was any danger OF a bill
ITO repeal the organic act of the Distric,

would be presented at the coming SEES

SUCCESSOR TO HARLAN
NEEDED IN RATE CASE
President Taft Will Be Urged
to Send Name Early in
Coming Session.

President Taft will be urged to send
in the name of Justice Harlan's success
sor on the Supreme bench early in the
coming session of Congress. SO that the
appointee may be confirmed and take
his seat in time to participate in the i'm
mensely important railroad rate hearings
to be held in January by the court.
These cases, on account of the clash
between state and federal Jurisdiction in
volved, are regarded as Of the utmost
gravity and the desire Is general that
they shall be heard by full bench.
Speaking of the Minnesota rate case
in which not only the state of Minnesota
and the federal government. but the rail-
road commissions Of dozen or more
states, the governors of all the states
and many of the railroads will be repre-
scented before the court. state raliroao

attended the recent conference OF state
railroad commissioners in Washington
said:

Subcommittee Named.

A subcommittee consisting of A. Left

Kaufman was authorized to begin the
work Of preparing a brief setting forth
the arguments of the residens of the Dis
trict against any reduction In the federal
governments share Of the expenditure for

The members of the committee attend
ing yesterdays meeting were Henry B. F.
mcfarland. Charles j. Bell. William S.

ner. D. ]. Kaufman, George Y. Worthing-
ton and B. w. Guy.
AT the opening Of the meeting Mr.. Sim
clear explained to the committee the
scope of the resolution under which it was
appointed. The committee, he said. was
instructed Ito oppose in every way the
proposed change In the organic law relat-
ing to appropriations.
This is not the first time said Mr..
Sinclair, that an effort has been made
to repeal the organic law of the District.
In 1896 the late Representative De Ar
mond of Missouri introduced bill for the
repeal of the law. AT that time the citi-
zens took the matter up and appeared be-
fore the House District committee, ex-
planning their reasons for opposing the
repeal Of the law. and the committee
made an adverse report on the De Almond
bill"
