BENEFITS OF A GOOD LABOR LAW.
Ohio Compensation Gives Permanently
Injured Large Lump Sum

Under the Ohio yorkmen's compensa-
tion law it is permissible for companies
or corporations to carry their own insur-
ance after it is shown that they are
financially able. How this works Is
shown by case which came up recently.
1t appears that a workman of a company
carrying its own injury risks received in
juries which would leave him totally dis
abled for life.
Rather than pay this workman the
stated sum set by the law, the company
received permission to settle with the
owrkmen for a cash or lump sum.
Fourteen thousand dollars was handed
to him, and with this the workman left
for his home in Europe to spend the re-
niainder of his days.
If anyone had ever said that an alien
laborer could recover this sum of money
in the courts OF this land, he would have
been set down as crazy.
This feature OF the workmen's compen-
sation law has been put into. effective
use in quite number OF cases coming
before the State Industrial Commission

how much care is taken accidents will

Under the present law, with the en-

is ever a rivalry existing between the
man who Is hurt and the company or in

der state insurance it will be to the in
terest OF the employer to work with the
injured employe to secure Just and ade-
quate compensation, an amount sufficient
to prevent him from becoming a burden
upon society.
Remove Profits From Compensation.
1t is said that if the state goes into
the insurance business for the purpose
OF compeusating all men and women who
become injured within its borders It will
put the state in the position Of being
against the injured employe. Measured
by the profit system this situation would
arise, but when viewed from the stand
point OF social welfare the state would
not be against the injured working man
or woman any more than it is now
against the inmates OF any OF its chart.

Workingmen's compensation, while an
improvement over employers liability in
some respects, does not completely fal

be done by eliminating all OF the ele-

by removing from the field of accident
compensation all institutions that profit
by the misfortunes of the working

COMPENSATION IS
DOUBLY DEFENDED
Unions and Employers Unite
Against Insurance GrafterS
Rights Under Ohio Law Being Consid-
cred by High Court Upon Claim
Of Private Concern

Section % OF the Ohio workmen's COM
pensation law permits an employer to
carry his own compensation insurance on
proof that he possesses sufficient finan-
cial resources to protect employees. Pri-
vate insurance compnies are attacking
this feature of the law. together with
other provisions of the enactment.
The question is now being considered
by the State Supreme Court, and attor-
news for the State Federation OF Labor
are defending the law. Daniel J. Ryan,
general counsel for the Ohio Manufactur-
ers Association, appearing before the
court as "a friend OF the court" called
attention to what is commonly known as
the general welfare" amendment to the
state constitution, which was adopted at
the same time the people voted in favor
of the workmen's compensation amend
ment
The general welfare" amendment en-
powers the legislature to provide for the
comfort, health, safety and general well
fare of all employees" and, continues this
amendment, "no other provision of the
constitution shall impair or limit this
power"
Welfare Laws Are Valid.
Attorney Ryan told the court that in
dependent of the amendment to the con-
stitution which specifically authorizes
compensation, the workmen's compensa-
tion law. as passed by the legislature, is
still valid under the general welfare"
constitutional amendment. While indi-
eating his disapproval of the latter
amendment. because of its sweeping ma
ture, he said:
This section is extremely radical and
/ far-reaching. but it is in the constitution
and cannot he ignored. It's purpose is 70
give the legislature power to pass hu-
name laws in conformity with modern
industrial development, and under it any
law having for its object the general
welfare of all employees Is valid. provid-
ing it is not against the federal consti-
tuition"
Reply as to Uniformity.
m answer to the claim that section %
Is not uniform in its operation, the attor-
ney said:
Two men have committed a bailable
offense; one is able to give bond and the
other is not; one goes free until his trial,
the other is committed to Jail. This is
not a discrimination, and vet it requires
financial ability to give bond to secure
liberty. Two men are elected to office;
one can give the bond. the other cannot;
the one who gives the bond is inducted
into office. the other. who cannot. for

RAILROAD COMPANY FILES
MOTION FOR JUDGMENT
ASKS THAT FINDINGS OF JURY
IN CITY OF ENNIS CASE BE
DISREGARDED.
Evidence Showed. According TO
Motion. That Defendant Had
No Intention of Moving
Their Shops.

A motion has been filed for judg-
ments contrary to the findings of the
jury by the defendant in the case of
the City of Ennis vs.. H. q T. c. Ry.
Co., but the plaintiff has not yet
filed a motion for judgment on the
findings of the jury In the motion
flied by the defendant the pleas OF
jurisdiction OF this court and priv-
lege are expressly reserved, and
moves the court to enter judgment
in favor of the defendant upon and
notwithstanding the findings OF the
jury upon the special issues.
Reasons given for asking the court
to enter such judgment are as
follows; Because the undisputed
evidence, Notwithstanding the find
ings of the jury, established the fact
that defendant never contracted to
keep the headquarters of the middle
division of its railroad at Ennis,
Texas" The motion further sets
shows that the II. & T. c. Co. never
contracted TO keep either the head
quarters OF its middle division or les
round house or its machine shops
at Ennis, or authorized or ratified
any agreement TO so do. that the
defendant was not restricted from
moving it's headquarters from Ennis
to Mexia by either the purported
contract of the receiver nor the order
of the court authorizing and defin-
ing same, and because the evidence
showed that this defendant had no
intention to move the machine shops
or round house from Ennis TO Mexia.
The motion gave a further reason
that plaintiff is not entitled 10 have
specific performance by injunction
Of the contract" alleged and aCduc-
ed in evidence in this case, for the
reason that the same does not obli-
gate this defendant to perpetually
maintain its headquarters nor It's
machine shops nor round house per-
petually at Ennis.
If judgment cannot be rendered
for defendant then objection and pro-
test Is made to judgment being rem
dered for the plaintiffs. and asks
that mistrial be ordered.
