Question as TO what status OF. the
wOrkingmen' compensation act
covered the cases resulting from the
Muessel brewery murder was ex-
planned by local lawyers Wednesday
night. 1t seems that under the act
firms are not liable through negli-
gence of the employe. This has
been a plea in former days. upon
which corporations based defense in
damage suits. They said they were
not liable through negligence.
1t is the status of the compensa-
ton act that a firm should be able
10 care for an employe injured while
in the performance Of his duty, no
matter what the circumstances I'M
less. Of course, the emplOye alone
was to blame. Compensation on the
Muessel case comes under the ex-

through no fault of their own or of
the company, were killed on duty.
