We WILL NOW HAVE - -
a FelU Remarks
TTTTTTTT'T1SIP e e = e e -
By WALTER B. HILTON

CORNELIUS MCNAMARA would be in good evil
dence before the West Virginia Employers Liability
Commission which is to meet here within few weeks
The commission appointed by the last state legislature
elected with pledge to enact legislation protecting
workers in industry to go about the state and hear agu
ments pro and anent legislation providing for en-
ployers liability in industrial accident will find strong
bro argument in Con M Namara His leg cut off at
the Wheeling Mold and Foundry plant while he was at
work He brought suit and it was proven that 1t was no
fault of his own Usually the court processes to believe
that man who loses leg arm does SO In gratflca
ton of nexpcable desire OF his but in this
case this was not attempted All the witnesses adj
itted that the accident was through fault of Ma
maras But it was shown that other employe had
at some time done other thing which he should
have DONE That settled it. The judge recognized the
felow servant theory and the case was thrown out OF
court Now MNamara can hobble around leg
during the balance of his lfeand without cent OF
compensation.
In describing such legal construction strong words
could be used not that there are no words strong
enough MNamara, doing his work faithfully, is sud
denly crippled for ife-and there is redress-no
sponsble person is responsible. Is it law ?Some judge
somewhere in England centuries ago. rendered a
decision like that and judges call it common law
and still give similar decisions It is very convenient
for corporations for it is rather difficult to conceive OF
combination Of circumstances in large industry where
it would be impossible to show that lone empoye
out of hundreds had not done something that resulted IN
an injury to fellow employee. A railroader may be
killed. and it can be promptly proven that fellow
employee responsible by not remedyng some defect
in the machinery, or that the ralroader was guilty OF
negligence in taking out engine that detective
though he would have been discharged he had refused
to take it OUT the fellow empoye would been dis
charged had he made repairs that he not ordered to
make
There was no need for Commission to go about the
state hunting for for enactng the liability laws
The ombstones any graveyard in the state would have
been reasons enough. But that the commission is
coming to Wheeling, the members of organized Labor
should be prepared to submit such evidence as Cornelius
M,Namara.

LOAN SHARKS infest almost every community.
They prey upon the needs of the poor They loan money
to those who being pressed by merchants and land
lords justices of the peace and charge them exhorbi
tant rates. When the loans fall due and the borrower
is in as bad shape ever or capitalism keeps him that
way) they loan" enough to pay off the first oan and
add on new charges and fees and interest They allow
the second loan to be taken of third and SO
so that in the end the borrower still more than he
borrowed though he has receipts showing that he paid
more than he borrowed.
Now the usual thing to do is to wrothy in right
eous indignation over the "loan shark" It is easy to
prove that he does all this But how will it things
TO lambast him? People do not borrow from him because
they enjoy it. They borrow from him because they need
the money and every other is closed to them
Business men can go to the banks. Working people
not. There phanthropists loaning money with
out security around this section and the working class
in times Of money stngency gravitate the loan shark
or the pawnbroker. The pawnbroker is worse, by the
way for the loan shark at least allows you to sit and
eat from your chattel security while the pawnbroker in
ssts upon having it in his safe.
So it can be respectfully suggested to the Don Quix
otes who rail at the ten and twenty percenter that these
evils can be eliminated only when the community makes
it possible for the people without commercial rating to
borrow at less than twenty and ten per cent.
