LINCOLN MEMORIAL
TABLET SOON TO
BE DEDICATED

The Lincoln Memorial Tablet. which
was voted by the Board Of Aldermen
is now being made and will be placed
in the State Street vestibule Of the
City Hall before long. The Tablet is
to memorabilia the presence of Alb
raham Lincoln and his speech in the
building, which is now the City Hall.
The idea Of this Memorial Tablet
was suggested by Joseph w. Northrop,
the architect, who appeared before
the Board of Aldermen and spoke in
it's favor. The Board of Aldermen
unanimously voted to accept the sug-
gestion and carry out the project AL
derman H. II. Jackson was particu-
larly interested in the action of the
Board
The Tablet is being made by the
famous bronze firm Of John Williams,
New York City, who are designers
and fabricators of the finest work
In this line in the country.
There will be q relief portrait of
Lincoln on the Tablet, and this is to
be modelled by a Bridgeport man,
Paul w. Morris the son of Mar
shall Morris, and a sculptor of high
reputation for the fine works which
he has carried out.
Mr.. Northrop has elaborated with
the City Hall Committee, at their re-
quest, and has desi gned the Memorial
without expense to the City. It is
expected that the Tablet will be an
object Of great interest in connection
with the City Hall.

An employer is not obliged to ins
sure against the indemnity. An ems
ploye may claim compensation under
this act or sue for damages but may
not do both. If he fails in his suis
he may have compensation under this
law with the costs Of his unsuccess-
full suit subtracted.
After a nine years trial in limits
ed field the law was extended to COW
er all employments SO that now tho
compensation principle has become an
accepted factor in British industry. In
France the government guarantees
against the loss of pension payments
from the bankruptcy Of employers or
insurance organizations.
There are three tests to apply to
remedial legislation dealing with wosk
accidents. Does the law tend to pre-
vent unnecessary accidents, does It
promote a wise and just distribution
of the economic loss and does it elinn-
mate waste in the process Of distri-
button?
It is sometimes argued that if tho
workman was made sure of coznpen-
sation for every injury, he would be-
come careless. If the fear Of death
or injury does not insure caution in
the workman, we cannot hope to in-
still it by holding over him the fear
of poverty. A large steel manufactur-
er of Birmingham, England, after the
act had been in operation admitted
that accidents had not increased. But
by making the penalty for an employ
er's carelessness sure we do create
an agency calculated to make for such
improvements in the construction and
operation of plants as tend to elm
mate their possibility.
Compensation laws provide for re-,
Enumeration as to employee for un-
avoidable accidents which under the
present system of liability Is impos-
l. I'LL 81
tribution Of the loss for this charge
as cost of production is included in
the selling price of the product.
AS measure to eliminate waste in
the distribution Of the loss the advan-
tages Of system Of compulsory COM
pensation which is not dependent upon
the uncertainties Of a law suit are OBJ
vious.
