High Court May Close Breach.

To persuade the Ohio supreme
court that its duty is to close
up the last remaining opening in the
workmen's compensation law is the
declared purpose of the brief of Attor-
ney General Joseph McGhee filed in a
personal injury case now pending.
The attorney general, who acted upon
the request of the State Industrial
Commission, says that the case, Amer
lean WoOdenWare Manufacturing Com
pany against Schorling, 'is so impor-
tant, and it's decision will have such
vital effect upon the workmens COM
pensation act" that he felt constrain-
ed to take part in litigation between
two citizens.
Frankly, what is sought by the at
tOrney general and the Industrial Com
mission is ruling that will narrow
rather than broaden the field of the
''open liability" of the employers un-
der the workmen's compensation law
so that there will be little occasion for
them to be sued by injured employees
as the result of ordinary accidents.
1t is stated, repeated and reaffirmed
during the course of the brief that on
the decision will turn the question Of
whether the benefcent provisions Of
| the compensation system are to re-
main or whether the old system of 1iti-
cation between employers and en-
ployes is to be restored.
| The case-so far as the interest of
the state is concerned-revolves on the
definition of lawful requirement" as
used in the constitutional amendment
permitting Workmen's compensation
and in the Workmen's compensation
law. The law says that the employer
is liable for damages if the injury to
an employe grew out of the "willful
act'' of the employer or his failure to
| observe lawful requirements for safety
| of employees" The General Assembly
has defined "willfuI act" and thereby
narrowed the scope of this liability
but it can not define lawful require
ments" with final authority because
the term is found in the constitution
The contentious of the state are
stated and urged as a means of saving
the compensation system and to thwart
the various attacks that personal in
jury attorneys have made upon it. AS
they have been defeated in every other
effort the state officials believe that
this is to be the last attempt If it is
accomplished the aim of the original
trainers of the law will have been ac
complished. This was to eliminate lit
igation between employer and EN-
ployes and to do away with profits to
private citizens growing out of in
jIries.
The difficulty now up for settlement
grows out of two sections in the act
creating the Industrial Commission
Sections Is and 16 require that the EN-
ployer must furnish safe place fol
employees to work. The issue i!
whether this is a lawful requirement.
The state says that if it is, the old or
der of personal injury suits will return
with its admitted evils exaggerated. 1
is argued that if the terms are to b.
taken literally every accident that oc
ours will be one that can be said t.
have been due to failure to observ,
lawful requirements" for If the pIac,

ONES OWN Home IS BEST:
Preference for Rented Quarters Marks
Something Of a Doing Away With
Personal Initiative.

When men come to be renters in
habit, that Is, when they grow willing
to depend on some other hand to pro-
vide and maintain their homes for
them, society loses much Of that indl-
vidual independence that personal in
itlative, that self-reliance which differ
entiates great people from a mere
human mass, remarks the Columbus
(Ohio) Dispatch.
For two hundred years America has
led the world In individual initiative.
The fathers pulled out of the European
huddle for the sake Of standing alone,
and when they reached America they
had to stand alone.
However we may excuse ourselves
for inclination toward the easy COM
fort Of the rented quarters 1t must still
be admitted that our inclination is a
symptom Of phase of social degen-
eracy, drift toward the huddle, the
beginning Of an abandonment of that
vitalizing independence Of which the
owned, detached home is pre-eminently
the symbol and support.
