The piece OF legi station that seems TO
be slated for the passage through the
state legislature and the one that will
be tire greatest step in advance is that
providing for the compulsory contrihu-
tion to injured and the families of kill
ed employees in industrial concerns.
The legislation has not taken on detn-
lite shape yet as several bills are before
the Legislature and it is probable that
the good features Of each will be includ-
ed in the draft finally sent TO the Gov
ernor for his signature.
Governor Osborn has advocated this
measure ana will sign any good bill

In general il may be said that the
lesiglation proposes a cash indemnity
to be paid the widow and oprhans of
killed employees, the amount generally
spoken OF being $1,000.
The injury contribution Is based up
on the character of the injury. Undue
trial concerns can elect to come under
the act or not just as they choose. II
they come under Il the employees are
estopped from any damages in civil
courts, their compensation being fixed
by the act The company coming nm
der the act must pay the damages set
up in the act without any legal pro-
cedure 80 the employees will not be un-
der the necessity of dividing with at.
torneys.
: The money to pay these claims is TO
be assessed according TO scale which
is based upon the character of the
work carried on.
IL IL an excellent move great step
in advance in the relation Of employer
and emlpoye and we sincerely hope
that the act passes in some manner.
