CONSIDERATION
OF RECIPROCITY
URGED IN HOUSE
Representative Mccall of Mas.
sachusetts Asked For Imme.
diate Consideration
CALL OF HOUSE ORDERED
WHEN No QUORUM Was MADE
District of Columbia Committee Oh.
iected Because Today Was Set Apart
For Consideration of Bill From That
Committee on House Calendar.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Ir1mediately
after the house met today Represen-
tative Mccall of Massachusetts called
up the reciprocity bill for immediate
consideration.
Objection was made by the men,
bers of the District Of Columbia COM
mittee, this being district day on the
house calendar. The point of no
quorum also was made. To insure
full vote call house was ordered
and all the absentees summoned to
the chamber.
The house by a vote Of 1856 to 121
decided to begin the immediate con-
sideration of the bill. No agreement
has been reached as to the limit of
the debate, but the bill may be passed
to-day. While the vote to displace the
regular order for today on the house
calendar and take up the reciprocity
measure cannot be accepted as an
exact indication of the final vote on
the bill. it is regarded as being ap-
proximately so. The vote against
taking up the measure today came al
most wholly from the Republican
side. The Democrats voted almost
solidly for immediate consideration.
An analysis Of the vote to take up
tho hili showed this result
For-Republicans 60, Democrats
1856; total 1876.
Against - Republicans 1O1. Dem
ocrats 20; total 121.

PAUL Is BROKE
Hero of .Three Weeks" Is Selling
Hops for Living

New York, Feb. 13-Paul Sunshine,
the real Paul immortalized by Elinor
Glyn as the God of Love-" aided and
abetted by cupid in his effort to bring
solace to the heart of soul seeking
Russian lady of noble birth, is "on
the job" in New York in the capaci-
ty Of a hops salesman. He is stop
ping at a Broadway hotel. He halls
from Prague and spells his name
Sonnerschein. He is "a. This orig
inal Paul, Beautiful Paul" Of "Three
Weeks" speaks broken English. Aft
er admitting that he was the original
Paul and had been in Lucerne and
there was titled lady and that Elinor
had taken a fancy to the romance and
concluded to write book about it,
Mr.. Sunshine said:
Now see here, you must not say
anything about Elinor Glyn. She is
the dearest woman in the world.
Look! Here is a beautiful pillow she
just sent. She embroidered it with
her own fingers" And reverently
Paul kissed the pillow.
10 question about the original
princess in the story, Paul replied:
"The original princess is far far
away"
"The story Of Three Weeks was
somewhat exaggerated" Paul ventur-
ed to say. Yet all the beauty of it
was nobly preserved. In this coun-
try you have no time to love. You
are too busy making money"
In conclusion Paul said that the
Russian princess affair was a mere
episode. Life offers much" he
sighed. And We had been led to be-
lieve that there was but one woman
In the world for him-the Russian
lady.
Mr.. Sunshine said that he was anx-
ious to return to that dear Bohemia
and that he expected to sail in three
; weeks.

der which 1t 10 proposed to create a
single board Of control for the sew
eral normal schools will be by the
committee Of the whole house, the
measure, as passed by the senate,
having been so referred by Speaker
Hanley. It is not certain just what
attitude the northwestern house mem-
bers will take on this bill, although
1t is very probable that there will be
no effort at securing it's defeat. Minot,
originally, was opposed to the bill.
Very little discussion is heard of
the proposition Of creating single
board Of control for the state insti-
tutions, az had once been proposed.
The opposition to this movement,
voiced more particularly by the heads
Of the several educational institutions,
has been largely responsible for the
fact that the question has apparently
been allowed to drop. There is one

LIABILITY LAW BRINGS up
LOT OF MOOT QUESTIONS

Indianapolis, Ind, March 1.-THE
legal department of the Indiana Manu-
facturers' Bureau has prepared an
opinion on the new employers liza
bility law. enacted by the last legfs-
lature, and this opinion will be sent to
all of the members of the bureau with
in the next day or two. The bulletin
analyzes the law and will prove OF
great value to employers. all of whom
are vitality interested in the new stat
ute.
1t is the opinion of the legal depart
ment of the bureau that the most of
the new act is merely a re-enactment
OF the old law which was In existence
at the time the new one was passed by
the Legislature, and that the rest of it
Will be held to be unconstitutional
when the supreme court gets at it.
This is taken to mean that the manu-
facturers of the state will attack the
new law at the first opportunity and
seek to have il knocked out. The bull
letin of the legal department reads as
follows
The first section of the act makes
it apply to every employer. whatever
be his business, who employs as many
as five persons. 1t makes such en-
pioyers liable for injuries caused in
whole or in part by the negligence OF
the employer himself, or of any agen-
cy. servant or employe of the employer,
or caused in whole or in part by any
defect. mismanage or ineffciency
due to the carlessness. negligence,
fault or omission of duty of the EN-
ployer of his agents, servants. etc.
1T was before the passage OF this
act, the law-the common law-that
every person, including employers, is
liable for the result of his own negli-
gence of some third person cooperate
TO produce an injury Likewise, at
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1911-03-17

to exempt the employer from liability
is declared void
This section makes a pretense of
equity toward the employer by allow
ing a set-of against the verdict of any
amount received by the plaintiff as
the benefits of insurance purchased by
the employer
Section seven attempts to make as
sumption of risk, negligence and con-
tributory negligence all pure questions
of fact to be decided by the jury.
The remainder of the act is prin-
cipally confined to defining some of
the words it uses. limiting its effects
to causes of action arising after its
passage and limiting the commence
ment OF actions under it to two years
from the date of injury and declaring
an emergency
All of the above refers to senate bill
1872 known as the Shively- BeaI bill.
There is another act, senate bill SSS,
which will also be discussed in a bull
letin by the legal department. of the
Manufacturers Bureau This act seeks
to define hazardous occupations, and
1t has been said by some of the manu-
facturers and other employers that it
is the most drastic piece of liability
legislation ever enacted in any state.
1t says that any employer or person
engaged in any business shall at the
time of any accident or injury to any
person by reason of such employment
or business, be regarded conducting
a hazardous occupation. 1t is pointed
out that in this new law every pos
sible defense is taken away from the
defendant in a damage suit for per-
sonal injuries. whether such suit is
brought by an employer some per-
son in the general public.
The legal department of the Manu-
facturers Bureau. however, takes the
position that a full reading of the new
law Will disclose that it can only af-
feet building contractors and struc-
tural iron workers. The bulletin on
this subject, however, is not yet ready
for publication.

etc, of any ordinance. statute, rule.

made by an authorized public body or
officer
This part of the section also means
that the fact that a danger or hazard
inherent in the employment, even
though an apparent danger. contribut-
ed to the injury, shall not excuse the
employer from liability.
The last paragraph of section two
means that the employee shall not be
held to be guilty of contributory neg
ligence If his injury was caused by the
employees obedience to an order or di-
rection of his employer. or of his en-
ployers vince principal, even though
such order direction was itself
deviation from or violation of other
rules and orders of the employer pre-
viously promulgated.
Under section three it is declared
that the injured employe shall not be

by the violation by the employer, or
his vice principal of any ordinance.
statute or rule. or regulation or direc-
tion enacted or made aforesaid.
This section also declares that the
emploe shall not be held to have as
sumed the risk of injury If the injury
| itself result from the employees obedi-
| ence to an order or direction of his
| employer, of his vice principal, even
| though such order or direction was
itself a deviation from or violation of
other orders and rules previously pro-
| mulgated by the employer.
Section three further declares that

known to his employer or could have
! been known to him by the use of ordi-
nary care and in time to have made
the necessary repair or have discon-
tinued the use. Under this section the
burden of proving the absence OF
knowledge in the employer and the
| want of knowledge in time to have
made repairs discontinued the use
| is cast upon the employer and the
proof can be made under an answer OF
general denial. Briefly stated, this
means that in the absence of any EVIL
dence whatever on the subject the Law
raises a presumption that the employ
knew of the defect in time to have
the discontinuance of the use.
Section four, taken in connection
with section six. adds very little to the
law it was before this enactment
Section six limits the recovery FOL
negligent killing to ten thousand dol
lars. Section four declares that thu
recovery shall be Commensurate Will

common law, an employer and every
other person was liable for the results
OF the negligence OF his employee while
working in the line of his duty 1t
was also the law that an employer was
liable for his own negligence and that
of his servants in respect to known or
reasonably ascertainable defects of
ways, tools, etc.
AS these things were the law it
must be presumed that the legislature
in re-enacting them menat to make
material the words in whole or in
part and with that intent has at
tempted to declare that IL an employ
er's negligence. that of his ser
want. shall in part cause the injury of
his employee and the injured employees
negligence in part causes such injury
the fact of such contributory negli-
gence shall not excuse the employer or
diminish his liability
TT must further be presumed that
since at common law the employer was
liable for the negligence of his SER
want while in line of duty. this re-
enactment without qualification in re-
spect of line of duty. was intended to
create liability on employers to their
employees although resulting from the
negligence of an employee while not
engaged in his employers work.
1T is believed that this section will
be held void because the classification
of all employers of five or more per-
sons into one class and employers of
two to four persons, inclusive in an
other class is void class legislation for
the reason that a classification whose
only distinction is the difference be-
tween four and five employees is I'M
natural and unreas enable and there
! fore void.
1T is further believed that this sec
| ton will be held invalid because II
| seeks to hold an employer liable fol-
| the acts of his servant while the ser
| want is not engaged in his employers
| business, and this is taking of the en-
ployer's property without due process
| of law and denies employers of five
l or NOR persons the equal protection
| of the law.
| Section two is not al all clear in 81
| far it treats of contributory negli-
/ gence. 1t provides that the burden OF
proving contributory negligence shall
| be upon the defendant and that il
shall be provable under an answer o
| general denial.
IF section one destroys the defense
| of contributory negligence the par
| of section two treating of such negli
| gence is without purpose.
! Section two confounds the defens,
of contributory negligence with TIN
doctrine of assumption of risk. If suci
