BITTER FIGHT OYER
COMPENSATION BILL
Senator Moriarty Proposes to
Make Changes in Measure
From House.
CONSIDERATION GOES OVER
(From a Staff Correspondent.)

(From Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, April lO,-(Special)-The
senate fought hard over the employees
liability amendment, House Roll No.
525, today, only to report progress
and ask leave to sit again.
The bill takes Jerry Towards orig
inal house roll, charged on the floor
as having been designed for ambu-
lance chasing lawyers, and adds to it
the provisions of Senate Files Nos
2l3 and 220, the two compensation
acts backed by the State Manufac-
turers' association and labor leaders.
Amendments Proposed.
Senator Moriarty led bitter fight
against the bill as amended, and was
getting his own amendments, taken
from the original Douglas county bill,
adopted, when it was decided to con-
tinue the discussion at another time.
Hoping to save the best features of
the bill without getting it killed, the
proponents accepted with little strug-
gle the Moriarity amendments.
In opening his fight Senator Nor
iarity declared that the senate amend
ments were inspired by Frank Coffey,
II. E. Gooch, Frank Ringer, manu-
facturers and ambulance chasing liza
bility insurance companies" Labor,
he said, was not represented
What They Provide.
The Moriarity amendments agreed
to provide for the filing Of applica-
tons for compensation in the local
district court, increased the compen-
sation to two-thirds OF the salary (the
present law OF one-half had been in
creased to 90 per cent by the manu-
facturers' and labor leaders agree
ment), and another was introduced to
allow the injured man, no matter
whether he elects to take under the
law or not before injury, to bring a
civil action for damages where the in
juries result from lack Of safety APP
pliance.
1t is this issue that advocates of the
amended bill say offered the oppor-
tunity for ambulance chasing, which
the amended bill hopes to discourage.
