LIABILITY BILL IS
SENT IN BY TAFT
President Accompanies Meas
ire with Plea for Passage.
Justice Is TO Be Promoted and Courts
Relieved by New Legislation su-
persedlne and Clearing Up
Old Enaotments.

President Taft sent congress report
OF the employers liability commission
and the commissions proposed EN-
ployers' liability and workmens com
pensation bill, accompanied by mes
sage urging the enactment of the
measure. which is the most advanced
piece OF liability legislation yet pre-.
sented
The president sets forth that the
proposed law not only would insure
to employees of railroads engaged in
interstate commerce quick adjustment
of their claims for damages. but also
would relieve the courts OF a vast
amount Of work and enable them 10
administer judicial Affairs with greater
dispatch.
II sincerely hope that the act will
pass" says the president in the mes
sage. Il deem II one OF the great
steps OF progress toward satisfac-
tory solution OF an important phase OF
the controversies between employer
and empoye that has been proposed
within the last two or three decades :"
The main provisions OF the measure
are sketched In the message and then
Mr. Taft takes up and disposes Of
three objections that have been ad-
vanced by its opponents
in the first place" says the presi-
dent. othc question arises whether.
under the provisions OF the commerce
clause. the bill could be considered
to be a regulation OF interstate and
foreign commerce. That seems 20 be
already settled by the decision OF the
supreme court in the employers LA.
biity case.
The second question is whether the
making of these remedies exclusive
and the compelling of the railroad
companies to meet obligations arising
from injuries. for which the railroad
would not be liable under the common
law, is denial of the due process of
law which is enioined upon congress
by the fifth amendment TO the consti-
tuition In dealing with the property
rights. This question the report takes
up, and in an exhaustive review OF
the authorities makes clear. as II
seems TO me, the validity OF the act
ut Is sufficient TO say that the ar
gument of the commission is most con
vincing TO show that the police pow
er OF the government exercised in the
regulation Of interstate commerce is
quite sufficient to Justify the imposi-
ton upon the interstate railroad com
Tanies OF the liability for the injuries
10 its employees on an Insurance basis.
THE third objection Is that the
right OF trial by jury, guaranteed by
the seventh amendment Is denied. AS
a matter of fact, the right Is preserved
I'm this act by permitting a jury 20
pass on the issue when duly demand
ed in accordance with the limitations
OF the act"
President Taft then alludes 20 the
alleged iniquities attending personal
injury litigation. He declares that
periured testimony emotional iuries
and badly constructed laws limiting
liability have tended TO hamper the
administration of exact Justice while
tho heavy expense OF litigation has
rendered II almost impossible for the
poor man 10 command his rights
