HUDSON DISPUTES RULING
 OF STATES ATTORNEY
Says Compensation Act Does Not Ap-
 ply to Farmers.

Stiles Judson, states attorney for Fairfield county says in a published letter that on the workingmen's com pensation act:
 This act would have been expressed more clearly if only section g. with its clear provisions that the act should apply only to employers having less than five employees had appeared in the act. Curiously enough, we find in this public act provisions, following the clear statement just quoted, that first provide for written notice in order to avail the employer or employe of such exception in section l, part B, fol- lowed by the provision in section 2, part B. that if no such notice is given the law will conclusively presume ac- It provides distinctly for the exem- ton and then provides that notice of the exemption is required, because it states that the law will concluSively presume acceptance of the exemption without any notice.
 The attorney general made a serious error in publishing the incorrect state ment that the exemption of employers having less than five employees had been omitted from the act, and was likewise in error in saying that this act applied to farmers in respect to their hired help.
 The act is conclusively shown by it's title and provisions to be limited in its application to employers and employees in industrial enterprises and does not remotely apply to farmers nor to any class in the state except industrial con- cerns. The act was principally de- signed to relieve laboring men in fac tories and in all industrial enterprises from three barbarouS defenSes that existed at common law. as follows:
 FIrst-The defense previously avail able to employers in suits by injured employees of contrtbutory negligence on the part of the injured employe.
 Second The defense previously available to employers in suits by in Jured employees that the injury was caused by a fellow servant.
 Third-The defense previously avail able to employers in suits by injured employees that they had in taking em- ployrne assumed all the risks attend ing such employment
 There was another important req son for changes in this act of the re- latlons of employer and ennploye, and that was that the laborers were un- able to assume the expense of having suits instituted against employers for injuries except that they bring suit through shyster lawyers for extortion- ate contingent fees.
 In the workmens compensation act that was under consideration by the general assembly of 1911, which failed to become a law, instead of providing as does that act, that the exemption from liability by employers applied to only those employing less than five employees, it provides that the exemp- tion of the employer shall apply only to the employment of less than five employees.
