WORKERS LAW IS
UPHELD BY COURT
AN OPINION BY CHIEF JUSTICE
WINSlOW DECLARES CON-
PENSATlON ACT VALID.
REvERSES PRIOR DECISION
Judgment of Circuit Court Is Set
Aside by States Highest Tribunal
Associates Agree Unanimously
With Chief Justices Opinion.

Madison.-The supreme court has
handed down an opinion which re-
verses the decision of the lower court
and UNFOLDING the constituticnality
of the workmens compensation act,
as passed by the last legislature The
opinion was signed by all the men,
bers of the court and written by
Chief Justice Winslow.
The opinion first discusses in gem
eral the principles of the constitu-
tionality of laws, and then takes up
the objection that the law is against
public policy, declaring that it is not.
The next objection to receive atten-
ton in the opinion is, that the act
vests judicial power in the commits
sion. Judge Winslow concludes that
it does not
The opinion then discusses the
point that the act abolishes the de-
lenses of assumption of risk and neg
ligence of co-employe. Judge Wins
low concludes that the legislature
has the power to abolish these two
defenses.
The court does not discuss the
minor points and objections brought
out in the hearing but says that if
the act can be found to be partially
unconstitutional, through some of it's
provisions, that these are not con-
sidered sufficient to destroy the
whole act.
The suit was originally brought by
Edward Borgnis, superintendent of
the pattern shop of the Falk COM
pany, Milwaukee, who is under con-
tract to work for this company
certain number of years at stated
salary. Frank H. Schumacher, Mil
Waukee, has son, Arthur, who is an
apprentice with the same company
and also under contract to remain
for stated period at certain wage.
These two combined and brought suit
to restrain the Falk company from
coming under the provisions OF the
workmen's compensation act, be-
cause, they argued, it would destroy
their contracts.

was badly bruised, her collar bone
barn and garage were smashed to
kindling wood.
At the home of George Schaffner,
near Hanover, six people almost mir
aculously escaped death. The house
was blown to pieces, and, although
in it. none was seriously hurt. Mr..
Schaffner's mother, Mrs. Caroline
Schaffner, was thrown to the floor
and struck a sewing machine. A
heavy beam rested upon the machine
and just over her head. Mrs. Schaff-
ner is "a years old Mr.. Schaffner
and Mr.. Lehman were in the barn,
the building swept away, and al
though six horses were killed neither
Mr. Schaffner nor Mr.. Lehman re-
ceived scratch. The escape Of Will
liam Douglas and his family was
and although six persons were in it
none was injured. Two of the daugh-
ters were upstairs when they heard
the cyclone coming. They started
downstairs but the door slammed
shut in their faces and locked. Fran
tically they rushed to the head of the
stairs and threw themselves On the
floor, clinging to whatever they
could The roof was lifted from over
their heads.
Two miles north of GAINESVILLE
house and part of a barn were car
'ried into Rock river. All telephone
and telegraph poles in the path of
the cyclone were snapped off and
wires line the roads.
A meeting of citizens and business
men of GAINESVILLE was held and tenn
porary relief arrangements provided
for the victims of the tornado.
Many of the residents of the terri
tory visited by the tornado are worse
than destitute. They are not only
homeless but they are wounded. The
more fortunate farmers in the neigh
borhood took the victims of the storm
into their homes and cared for them,
but relief of this character can at the
best be but temporary, and pcrna-
nent buildings and other relief must
be provided, or about $50 persons
will perish.
The gas company's plant, which
furnished light for the towns Of Mil
ton and Milton Junction, is a COM
plete wreck. Parts of the machinery
and large tank of the plant were car
ried more than half mile away.
Pine trees, fifteen inches in diam
eter, were broken off and in an old
nursery $50 fruit trees were felled
in rows like dominoes.
Tobacco men are unable to esti-
mate the loss of the leaf in the sheds
which were blown down. In some
places, fields of thirty-five and forty
acres of fodder and corn were swept
entirely clear and the fodder scat
tered over large area. Huge siloS
were lifted from the foundations and
moved several hundred feet.
