EMPLoYERs' LIABILITY Ac'
PASSED BY CONGRESS- IN 1905
DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL.
WHEN Laws ARE APPRopR'AT
STATES MAY ENFORCE
Second Effort Of Congress 70 Change
Old Common Law Proves Successful
Several Appeals Growing Out Of
New statutss Acted Upon by Su-
prsns Court 40 One Case.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The constttu-
tionality Of the employers liability law
passed by congress in 1908 was today
upheld by the supreme court of the
United States III all cases before 1t. The
court also decided that state courts
may enforce that act when local laws
are appropriate.
This was the second attempt Of con-
gress to change the old common law
rule that an employe Of common car
-ier could not sue for damages from
the carrier for injuries resulting in the
course Of his employment when the in
juries resulted from the negligence OF
a fellow servant. The first law, that
enacted in 1906. was declared unconsti-
tutional in 1905. because 1t embraced
within its terms regulation Of intrs-
state commerce as well as interstate.
The law considered today was enacted
by congress In 1908, Immediately after
the first law was held unconstitutional
The constitutionality and interpreta-
tion of the new law came before the
court In a number OF cases. heard as
one case about the last Of February
1911.
History Of Case.
The principal case was that Of Bes-
sic Babcock, widow OF Ora l.. Babcock
against the Northern Pacific Railway
Company. Her husband lost his life ir
a railroad collision on the Northern
Pacific in Montana In 1905. Mrs. Bah
cock sued under the federal employers
liability act. which had Just been pass
ed, and under Its terms she was en-.
titled to the amount Of judgment. Bah.
cock left sister also and II the judg.
ment had been procured under the
statute Of Montana, she would have
been entitled to one-half OF 1t. The
Northern Pacific resisted the claim, OF
the ground that n the federal.law wal
unconstitutional. II might be required
to pay the sister. even II 1t had settled
with the widow. The law was upheld
by the federal court OF Minnesota.
Another case arose out of the death
Of Daniel ]. Walsh. brakeman on the
New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company. The United States
circuit court for Massachusetts held
the law constitutional.
Still another case was that Of Ed
gar c. Mondou, an employe on the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company, against that road
He brought suit In the state courts OF
Connecticut which declined to con-
slider the case. That gave rise to ques-
tions as to whether or not congress Ind
attempted to or could, If it had at
tempted, require state courts as well
as federal courts to take Jurisdiction
over such cases.

MORRIS a co.'s BOOKS INTRO.
pucEo IN PACKERS TRIAL TO
SHOW COOPERATION.
GOVERNMENT WOULD PROVE
THAT CONSPIRACY ExIsrEr
Packers Enabled 70 Increase Test Cost
Of Beet and Thsrsby Raise Price Of
Fresh Mes. BY System Of False
Credits, is censsntisn of Government
Counsel.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Counsel for the
government today continued the tedi-
Gus task Of reading to the Jury In the
trial OF the Chicago packers, charged
with maintaining n combination In re-
straint Of trade, entries from the books
Of Morris & CO., in an effort to show
that the accounting systems Of tho sew
eral corporations practically are the
same and played an important part In
the alleged plan Of cooperation.
Allowances made by the packers for
hides, oleo fat and other by-products
were traced thru the different books OF
accounts by months in an effort "a
show that the amounts credited were
less than the market value.
The government contends that the
packers by this system were enabled
to increase the test cost OF beef and
thereby raise the price of fresh meat
to the consumer without showing ar
exhorbitant credit to profits on their
books. The by-products, 1t is charged
were in several instances sold TO sub
sidary companies. controlled by the
packers, for less than the market price
where they were manufactured and
sold at a large price.
One Of these subsidiary companies
organized by the packers with a capita
of $4,000. to handle oleo oils, Is re-
ported to have earned $3.000.000 in one
year.
The government will try to prove
that the packers in figuring the test
cost Of fresh meat allowed only to
cents a pound for hides when the mar
ket price was . to l8 cents. and that
oleo fat was disposed OF on the books
at cents when the market price was
8 cents q pound.
Altho the books showed Morris &
Co. slaughtered from $4,000 to 25.ooG
cattle each month from November
1907, to April, 1909. the allowances fol-
hides averaged from $500 to $500.
The government argues that these
small credits were for salt and twine
obtained from other departments end
that no allowances were really made
for hides during the period mentioned.

equal force for the transmission Of
communications by telegraph.
Because Of the more extensive or
ganization maintained by the postal
service and the freedom from taxation
and other charges to which private
corporations are subject, the govern
ment undoubtedly could afford greater
facilities, at lower rates than are af-
forded by companies. now conducting

Value About $25o,0oo0oo.
Next to the Introduction Of q gen
eral parcels post for which there 10 Il
strong popular demand, the establish
ment of government telegraph sys-
tenn offers. In my judgment. the best
opportunity for the profitable exten-
sion Of the nations postal service"
The latest census figures available
indicate that about 100000 people are
connected with the telegraph COM
panies of the United states The ap-
praised value of the systems proposed
to be acquired would be purely coil-
jectural, but 1t is said 1t would approx
innate $250.000,0 900.
1t is not Mr. Hitchcock's purpose to
recommend the acquisition of tele-
phone lines except. possibly. in in
stances where they are operated as
telegraph lines and are an integral
part of definite telegraph systems.
The experts who have figured on the
proposition are of opinion that existing
telegraph rates could be reduced at
least one-third to the public and yet
make the investment in and operation
of the lines .profitable to the govern
ment.
