Employers Liability Bill.
IN modified form Georgia's first gen
eral employers liability bill was sent to
the senate today by Senators Harris and
Sheppard
THE measure, which does not include
compensation features. places all labor
crs on the same legal basis with rail
road employees. Under the present
avs railroad employees have "a wider
latitude for the recovery of damages
than those engaged in other but equally
hazardous occupations. The Harris
Sheppard bill merely gives laborers the
same latitude now afforded railroad en-
pIoyees
Under the present laws. railroads can
not set up the defense that the acct
dent was due to the negligence of
fellow laborer, nor can railroads con-
tend as a defense that the employee
was aware of the danger when the ac-
cdent occurred.
