of the act
To properly grasp the meaning Of
the new act, it is perhaps best to go
back a little In 1880 the Pariia-
ment of England passed an act which
was called the Employers Liability
Act. This law was intended to de-
fine and clarity the old common laws
relating to the relations between
employer and employee, as far as re-
lated to the obligation of the former
to pay damages for injuries to the
latter received while working for
his employer.
This law laid down the principl,
that the employer must do all in his
power to eliminate all the remov-
able dangers in the business in
which he was engaged. If he did
this the employee was not entitled to
damages for injuries, because it was
held that he assumed the risk by
accepting employment with the en-

places, and many of them, where lt
is more insecure than in the United

all the evils complained of by the
senator are worse than they are in
America.
The evils are bad enough without
the superlatives 1t is not necessary

denim whole people. Yet the over
emphasis can be forgiven because of
