Two years ago American business
men voluntarily went to Washington
to give the president ana congress
the benefit OF their knowledge and ex-
perience upon matters which were
the subject Of proposed legislation.
President Wilson denounced them as
an "insidious lobby" and drove them
from the capital. In his message q
few days ago to congress, the presi-
dent indicated his intention to call
business men into conference upon
Important government problems. Two
years ago he waited to hang some Of
them higher than Hannah" After
putting the American business man
through an experience little better
than hanging. Mr.. Wilson realizes
that after all. practical business knowl-
edge is Of great value and that even
a college professor can learn from
business men. But what pity 1t II
that Mr.. Wilson took two years to
find out his error! What a pity that
American industry paid SO dearly for
Mr.. Wilson's education!

According to Ruling Civ
en- In Test Hearing
NoN-NEGLIGENT CASES
Board Finds tho Accident Occurred
Where Company Was Not Care
less and Not In Inter
state Traffic.

Railroad employees Of Iowa will be
greatly benefited by the ruling given
yesterday by board of arbitration
Iacting under the Iowa workmen' S
compensation law. holding that non
inegligence cases involving railroads
are to be handled under the state
instead Of federal employers liability
law
The effect Of this ruling. II sustain
led by the supreme court will be that
employees can recover compensation
for injuries In cases where the rail
road company was not negligent, un-
der the Iowa compensation law. I'm
lder the federal employers liability act
they would be unable to claim com
ipensation.
The ruling was given in the case of
Salvatore Mole vs.. Rock Island rail-
road. Mole was drowned by falling In
to the Des Moines river while shovel
! ing snow from Rock Island fat car
last March. The italian consul filed a
claim for compensation with Warren
Garst, Industrial commissioner A
board of arbitration was called. It
was composed of j. M. Clark. H. E.
Teachout and Warren Garst. The
first hearing was on May "a, 1915.
The Italian consul claimed compen-
sation for the widow and family OF
Mole, declaring that under the Iowa
workmen's compensation law, the
railroad must pay reasonable
amount.
/ The railroad claimed that, although
under the Iowa law, the accident
which resulted in the death OF Mole
occurred in interstate traffic. and
therefore Is subject to the federal en-
iployers' liability act, and not the Iowa
law.
The board Of arbitration found that
the accident did occur in interstate
traffic 1t also found that the com.
pany was not negligent. But 1t holds
that the Iowa law covers Nonresident
cases, therefore the railroad company
must pay the family OF Mole the sum
Of s4.3S week for 400 weeks.
The Rock Island has fled notice
that it may appeal from the decision
J of the board The records of the
board will be filed in the district court.
| The appeal is direct to the supreme
court.
