men imbued with the Importance Of
preserving the employers from burden
some or unjust liabilities. 1t was
treated as personal matter Of each
employee, and the employees were put
on level Of dealing which, however,
1t may have been In the past, certainly
creates Injustice to the employee un-
der the present conditions"
The attention of congress to the
great injustice of the present system
was called by President Taft. He
mentioned the fact that often the re-
covery of large sums in damage YER
diets did not result in actual benefit to
the injured person on account of the
heavy expenses in litigation. The
president expressed the belief that
these burdens would disappear with
the enactment Of the proposed law,
since the counsel fees are limited to
a reasonable amount.
AS further stated by the president:
"the great object of the proposed law
is to secure justice to the weaker par
ty under existing modern conditions"
He also declared that he would use
his influence to aid In the enactment
Of the proposed law before the adjourn
ment Of the present session Of con-
gress.
