LIABILITY LAW
SURVIVES TEST
Wisconsin workmen's Compen.
sation Act Constitutional.

Madison. Wis.,. Nov. 15.-The Wis
consin supreme court has sustained
the corstitutionality of the workmen's
compensation law enacted at the last
session Of the legislature.
The law provides for the insurance
Of w%orkingmen employed by corpora
tions against injury. In case of in
jury damages are to be fixed by a
state commission. 1t is not obligatory
on the part of the corporations to
conc under the law and those not do
ing so may appeal to the courts for
adjustment of injury cases. A large
number of Wisconsin corporations
have already elected to come under
the law.
The case was that of Borgnis and
others against the Falk company of
Milwaukee. where the plaintiff, who
had a long term contract of service
with the Falk company, brought ac-
ton to enjoin the company from elect
ing to come under the law, because
he claimed that, if it made its election,
he would be obliged either to quit his
employment OIL to submit to the law
and lose his common law remedies in
case of injuries received in employ
ment.
The court upholds the constitution
atty of all the important points Of the
law, but Goes not pass upon several
minor contentious. the validity Of
which would not affect the general
constitltionality Of the act.

MARSH ON THE STAND

Chairman Of Wisconsin Legislative
Investigation Committee Tells Sen.

Most Of the Charges Against the
Senator Were Sustained by the

Milwaukee, Oct. 1S.-No r~einvesti-
cation of the election of United States

second investigation of Senator Lori

committee investigating Senator Ste
%phenson's election can help it.
This was made known by the COM

state senator, was put or the stand.
Marsh was chairman of q legislative
committee which sustained charges of
bribery and corrupt use of money in
the election of Senator Stephenson.
"From your investigation We want
to know whether you were of the

ator Stephenson were true?" asked
Senator Hepburn, the chairman.

TO PUT SUBJECT
UP TO CONGRESS
President Will Discuss HIGH
Cost Of Living.
CABINET MEETING HELD

First Assembling Of Official Family il
Several Months Considers Mr.. Taft's
Message to consress-Trusts and
Tariff the Most Important Matter.
to Come Before Lawmakers at Next
Session.
Washington, Nov. Is. -President
Taft is planning to take up the high
cost Of living in a special message to
congress when he transmits the report
of the tariff boards investigation OF
the wool and cotton schedules.
1t Is also said the president will
vigorously renew his recommendation
for a parcels post. The tariff boards
findings will show, it is declared, that
much of the high cost of living is due
to the middleman rather than the
tariff.
The president met the cabinet for
the first time in three months. Secre-
tary of War Stimson, who is in Kan
a City, where he made an address
on the Panama canal, was the only
member absent.
The ~reassembling of the presidents
official family gave recurrence to the
rumors that Secretary Wilson is soon
to resign. This is generally believed
to be true and in official circles it is
stated the secretary of agriculture is
only delaying the announcement of his
resignation until President Taft de-
cides upon another man for his place.
Il is said that the portfolio has been
offered to at least two men prominent
in scientific agricultural work, by both
of whom it was declined.
Cabinet Considers Message.
Aside from a consideration of the
many questions which have accumu.
lated during the summer the cabinet
meeting was largely devoted to con.
sideration of the presidents message
tc congress. and the official reports of
the cabinet officers.
The presidents recommendations to
congress for supplementary and trust
legislation, probably along the lines of
d federal incorporation act, will be
formed after conferences with Attor'
rey General Wickersham.
1t is understood the presidents adj
visers pointed out that the work of
the coming congress would center
upon two main issues-the tariff and
the trusts. With Democratic leaders
declaring for some REIMBURSEMENT Of
the Sherman law and the Republican
~progressives declaring for some affirm
ative legislation to point out the paths
for the legal conduct of business, the
presidents closest counsellors seem to
favor some legislation which will per
nit business to go ahead and know
where it stands.
