LIABILITY LAW
ATTRACTS ATTENTION

The eyes of the industrial world
will be fixed on the state of Wash
ington If the employers liability bill
pending before the present legislature
becomes a law. The proposed stat
ute would revolutionize the present
method of paying damages for in
jured employees and not only are the
proprietors of industrial plants study
ing the proposed measure with keen
interest but labor union leaders and
advocates of Industrial arbitration are
considering the probable effect of
such a law.
Under the proposed act every line
OF industry employing men around
machinery or on risks deemed at all
hazardous will be assessed a percent
age based upon pay rolls for the three
months preceding October / each
year.
The revapue is to be handled by a
state commission which shall have
full power to investigate all damage
claims and to settle same without ac-
ton at law. The powers of the COM
mission are most sweeping. They
may compel attendance by subpoena
and have practically all the power
of a superior court. An extensive
auditing and information bureau is
provided for. The lines affected in
clude everything from printing Of
fices to tunnel and bridge work
One of the alleged Objectionable
features is the claim that such a law
would put a premium on immortality
because damages paid on account of
the death or disability of married
man are so much greater than in the
case of an unmarried man.
d. T. Ham, a prominent business
man of Spokane, says he has talked
with several persons who have OBJ
served the workings of such law in
England. In their opinion the law
has thrown thousands of married
men out of work It is understood
that the proposed Washington law is
almost identical with the laws in ef-
feet on this point in England.

SAFES ON GERMAN
RAILWAY TRAINS

The latest reform about to be in
troduced on German railways is the
placing of safes aboard long distance
trains. The safes are to be made of
steel, with two keys, one to be kept
in the custody of the passenger and
the other in that of the train guard,
both being necessary for the opening
Of the safe. The safes are to be plac-
ed in the guards van and to be large
enough to hold a small grip, jewel
case or similar package. A very
moderate charge is to be made ror
the use Of the safe, the state taking
all risks arising from the theft, fire or
railway accident, and protecting it.

Gentlemen:

Mr.. w. L. Hubbard and associate
artists appeared here last night in the
University Lyceum course. We have
had Kubelik, Paderewski, Blauvelt,
and other great artists, but we have
had nothing of a musical nature so
unique and so satisfying as the Hub
bard Company.
Mr.. Hubbard's talks are wonder
fully Illuminating, Mr.. Bergen is a
great baritone-one of the greatest
singers ever heard in Seattle, while
Mr.. Campbell is a pianist who is at
once competent accompanist and a
splendid soloist.
We trust that We may have this
company again next year.
Sincerely yours,
