ents of House Bill 45. Who
Are Out in Force.

There WAS "A second red -hot meeting

OF the existing law relating TO injuries.
A, j. Wcber. o. w Ewing. Brigham
ClcSg and j. H. Mcknight appeared for
the bill. and Harry ). Joseph and Abel
John Evans appeared In opposition.
The principal argument in support OF
the measure was made by Weber, who
cited that Theodore Roosevelt President
Tart. William Jennings Bryan and other
great thinkers were supporters of the
referred 10 Ibe fact that the rules OF the
interstate commerce commission arc
along the same lines as this biz, and arc
even more binding upon railroad corpora

connection II WAS set ont that under
the federal statute. corpora tions were
not excused from contributory negligence
on the part OF the employee. while in the
oil! under discussion an employee guilty
OF contributory negligence cannot re-
cover.
The opponents of the measure chief
among whom was Joseph, took the COM
hined ground that the passage OF the
bill would mean n reduction in wages.
and that IT would greatly harrass cor
porations.
Ths was met by the claim that most
OF the corporations insure their men
against accident. and tha, they would
be more careful in the future " the bill
should pass. AS 10 the statement that
wages would hs reduced, Mcknight said
that laboring men were willing TO take
n chance on reduction Of wages. as
well as upon the const,tutionality Of the
bill. which also had been raised by the
opposition.
At the close OF the discussion the COM
nlittee went into executive session.
