CARRANzA RAISES BAR

Ell PASO, Tex, July 4.-Further evil

junction on file in the state district court
here today which prevented the entry
into Villa territory of 10000 pesos in
constitutionalist currency recently print
ed by an American company. The ac-
ton was taken by Carranza agents here.
The issue was ordered before the in
ternal troubles OF the constitutionalists
had reached a breaking point which has
resulted in the conference between the
military leaders in progress today at
Torreon. The money arrived here con-
signed to the national treasury officers
at Juarez and the Carranza representa-

case can be made.
First Demonstration.
The first public demonstration of the
trouble between the constitutionalist
chief and his northern commander re-
suited in the confscation at Juarez of
funds of the national constitutionalist
treasury and the arrest of Carranza's
treasury general and other employees.

such comparatively inadequate financial
responsibility to obtain redress to ship

limited liability principle operate to OBJ

Seamen in Worse Plight.

Bad as is the position of injured pas
liability laws. it is nevertheless better
than that Of the injured seamen and
-heir dependents.
We have no federal legislation fixing
the liability of the shipowner for injury
to or the death of a member of his crew
The injured seaman is entitled to "main-
tenance and care, at least during the con-
uance of the voyage" After the termi-
nation of the voyage the disabled seaman
or his dependent family can recover
nothing for loss of earning power or sup
port except in cases of actual negligence
on the part of the owner, for the owner
is not liable for the negligence of the
master or crew.
Even in cases of the owners actual
negligence. the claim of the seaman or
his dependents is subject to the limita-
ton of liability laws which permit the
owner to abandon the ship to the claim
ants and thereby escape personal liza
bility
Compare this with the laws OF England,
France and Germany. In these coun-
provided for in the workmen's compensa-
ton laws. The injured seaman or his
dependent receives compensation, ire
spective of the circumstances under
Wnlch the injury occurred and also with
out regard to the limitation of liability
enjoyed by the shipowner as to other
claims.
There is immediate need for federal
legislation extending the existing federal
employers liability acts (or If they be
passed. the interstate railroad workmen's
compensation acts) to employers engaged
in interstate and foreign commerce by
water.
The readjustment of our laws respect-
may safely be left to tthe shippers This
reform will be fought out by the ship
pers. the owners and the marine insur-
ance companies. But the readjustment
of laws fixing the owners responsibility
for injuries to passengers and members
of the crew calls for intelligent public
discussion and organized public opinion.
Liability Bears on Safety.
Considerable attention has been devoted
to the problem of increasing safety by
governmental regulations respecting the
