Henderson Talks
to Charity Workers

I'VE must instruct ourselves and spread
the knowledge until 1t comes to the
judges of the country" said Prof. Charles
Richard Henderson of Chicago univer-
sity lin pointing the road to follow in
securing compensation. indemnity or in
surance for workmen for accidents
which occur In the ordinary process of
industry" at the meeting Of the Nebraska
conference of Charities and Corrections
Monday noon at the Rome hotel.
Prof. Henderson. who is chairman Of
the international society to promote
workingmen's insurance, declared that
the courts are not educated up to the
point of passing laws to bring about
workingmen's insurance.; that laws re-
garding the workinsman are Anticipated.
obsolete and should be cast on the rub
bish heap.
Instead of getting justice" said Mr..
Henderson, the working man who is
injured at his work spends three years
in litigation, gets $50 when he should
get $500 and at best gets the kind Of re.
ward that stings his soul and makes
him hate the constitutions of this
country"
Mr.. Henderson said that Nebraska
commissioners should ask for law
which should give compensation to the
laborer no matter what the cause OF the
accident, that society gets the advantage
Of the work done at which the workman
has incurred the accident and should
pay the price.
Then he would not have to go begging
when he is injured. but would have a
fund provided for the care OF his family
while his earning capacity is stopped"
Mr.. Henderson denied that employers
are greedy and avarious and the en-
ployes are reckless, and maintained that
certain number of accidents are bound
to happen in all industries.
Mrs. Draper Smith presided at the
meeting which was preceded by luncheon
at which about $50 charity workers were
present.
