woRkMENs COMPENSATION LAW


This, is the title of a bill that has
just passed the Senate providing CON-
pensation to railroad employees who
are, killed or injured in the course Of
their employment. Under this bill the
victims would receive compensation
from railroads engaged in interstate
traffic proportionate to their pay. No
gross sum could be paid but salaries
would be kept up on a scale defined
in the bill. This would be done with
out any reference to contributory neg
ligence or other common law rule.
The vote in the Senate was Ga yeas
and Is nays. AS a rule the railroads
favored the bill, because they desire
to get rid of jury trials and of the
lawyers who are fattening on the mis-
fortunes of employees. Senator Root
supported the bill. 1t now goes to the
House.
New York state is also discussing
the passage OF compulsory bill based
on the Senate bill. All bodies inter
ested in the subject in that state are
endeavoring to frame a bill that will
be satisfactory to both the railroads
and their employees.
The jury trial under the common
law is no longer favorably regarded,
and the indications point to compul-
sorry laws that would be fitted auto
matically to subjects of misfortune
on the railroads. No suit would be
needed, and all are willing that the
calamity" lawyer should be weeded
out-the lawyer who seeks a case in
order to become a sharer in the yer.
dict. The action of the House will,
perhaps, depend upon what employees
favor. If they prefer compensation
law to jury trial and grasping law
yers, the Senate bill will be apt to be
passed, and it is known that President
Taft would be glad to sign it.-Bir.

WANTS ELECTRIC
BOARD ABOLISHED
Turner, Condemned by City
Officials, Says He Had Right
to Give Towers Permit.

City Electrician r. c. Turner, in
written communication to council to-
day, urged that the board of electrical
control be abolished, declaring 1t to be
merely an ancient and honorable body
which seldom meets and acts only for
the purpose of condemning the present
city electrician, who is elected by the
people and has the interest of the peo-
pie at heart
Turner said two of the members OF
the board, r. NJ Clayton, chief of con-
struction, and w. b Cummings, fire
chief, were ministerial officers like him
self, and that they had no right to crit
icise the actions and policies of his Of
fee. He said that Chief Cummings was
sore on him" because he (TurneD had
insisted that the Star Electric Com
pany be given full opportunity to bid
on the citys new fire alarm system,
instead Of giving the contract for $780,
900 to the Gamewell company without
any delay. He said that his action
would save the city 10000.
Sent Protest to Board.
Turner first submitted his communi-
cation to the board of electrical con-
troll at special meeting today, called
az the result of the meeting yesterday
when the board revoked a permit is
sued to the Central Georgia Transmits
sion Company by Mr., Turner to erect a
sc, 000-volt electric power line on Hill
street and Milton avenue. Members
of the board declared that he had is
sued the permit absolutely without au-
thority.
Among the assertions made in his
statement are the following: That he
continually grants such permits with
out having them questioned; that the
privilege of erecting such high power
lines has been granted to the Georgia
Railway and Power Company and that
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany has built some suoh high tension
lines without any permit.
Sanders Mcdaniel, representing the
transmission company, urged the board
to reconsider its action of yesterday
and give his company authority to con-
tinue the construction of Its line
The board postponed action to give
the company an opportunity to adjust
the matter with the protesting property
owners.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
FOR EXAMINATION OF
ELEVATOR OPERATORS

Elevator boys in all of the public
buildings in Atlanta will be required to
stand an examination before city Of
fetal and receive licenses before they
are allowed to run an elevator If the
recommendations of the public safety
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
are carried out by the-city council.
The public safety committee of the
Chamber of Commerce was recently or
ganized at the suggestion of several
members who believed that there ought
to be some group of men In Atlanta
who would be on the lookout for public
safety. They will recommend in strong
est terms to council the passing of an
ordinance requiring elevator boys to be
examined and licensed, and thus pre-
venting the hiring of incompetent ones.
In making their report to the executive
committee of the chamber the fact that
recently several serious accidents in
elevators have been caused by impa-
thence and carelessness on the part of
the elevator operators was pointed out.

BIRDS NOW SINGING
RAGTIME, SCIENTIST
SAYS IN A LECTURE

CHICAGO. July S1-Henry Oldys,
formerly of the United States biologi-
cal survey, in a lecture in the Uni
versity OF Chicago which is causing
comment today. said that birds are pos
sessed of an esthetic sense similar to
that of the human being
Birds dance in the air, do High
land fiings' and the more sedate evolu
lions with the most perfect rhythm, Z"
said Oldys. They sing a bird rag
time and at other times snatches OF
song which greatly resemble our grand
opera. There is a blackbird that has a
song almost parallel to a Wagnerian
opera the. robin is best in so-called
popular songs, while the wood thrush
sings song of four distinct verses"
The speaker closed with the state
ment that birds sometimes copy from
man, and that man could learn a great
deal by copying from the bird.
