RULES OF LAW DEDUCTED
DECISION IN CARR VS.. WALLACE
LAUNDRY HAS MORAL FOR
MACHINERY OPERATORS.

In reversing the decision of the dis
trict court in the case of William
Carr VS.. Wallace Laundry company,
the supreme court of Idaho laid down
certain principles or rules which are of
special interest to all employers where
machinery is used. These are con-
tanned in the syllabus of the decision,
which is here given:
Syllabus.
/. AS between the proprietor of the
premises and the employe of an inde-
pendent contractor doing work there
on. the employee is an invitee upon the
premises.
Q. A person who invites another to
come on his premises upon business
in which both are concerned is bound
to take care that his premises and all
appliances provided by the owner, as
incidents to the use of his premises,
are safe for that other person to come
to give due warning Of any danger to
upon and use them as required, or else
be avoided.
2 Where an invitee upon the PREM
Uses has been injured by an unguard-
ed set screw protruding from a re-
volving shaft, it becomes a question
60, Tho Jury, IN cav as a matter of fact
whether the proprietor of the prem
ises has been reasonably diligent to
provide safe place for the invitee to
do his work.
4. Where an invitee upon the prem
ises was not warned Of the existence
of an unguarded protruding set sore"
upon a revolving shaft. and was In
iured thereby, it can not be said, as
matter Of law, that he was guilty Of
contributory negligence in the absence
of knowledge of existence of the Sc
screw. or unless as reasonably pru'
dent nerson he should have known o
its existence.
s. Negligence and contributor
negligence involve mixed questions O
law and fact, but where, under TN
facts of the case, the minds of reas
enable men might differ, as to the ex
istence of negligence or contributor!
negligence, they are questions for tn
jury.

OFFICIALS CONFER.
Railroad Representatives Consider
Consolidating Business.

A conference of railroad officials
was held in this city last week which
NAV result in a consolidation of the
business Of the Northern Pacihc ana
O.-W. r. & N. in this city under one
head and handled through one office.
This is in line with the policy of the
in handling the railroad
business of the country as means of
reducing expenses and avoiding dup
LEGATION of work. Railroad officials
who met here last Friday were A. W.
Perley, acting general superintendent
of the O.-W. r. & N, and william
Connolly, superintendent of the wash
ington division of the same company.
Representing the Northern Paclhc
were A. V. Brown, general superin-
tendent, with headquarters at Livings-
ton, and f. r. Bartles, superintendent
of the Rocky Mountain division, with
headquarters at Missoula, Local
agents and roadmasters of the two
companies were present. The situa-
ton was thoroughly discussed with
the view to economy in the service
and at the same time avoid as far as
possible inconvenience to the public.
What conclusion was reached is not
known. but it is believed that a re-
commentator will be made to con-
solidate the business Of the two COM
panies. 1t will probably be several
weeks before any definite announce
ment is made.

IDAHO LABOR RESERVE
MEET CALL OF NATION
SKILLED WORkMEN TO BE EN-
ROLLED AND SENT WHERE
MOST NEEDED.

o. G. +. Markhus, of Boise, has been
added to the nations dollar year"
men. He has been appointed director
for Idaho of the United States public
service reserve, a federal position un-
der the department Of labor.
Associated with him will be a union
labor man and another identified with
industry from the employing side.
The duty of these men will be to
enroll in the public service reserve all
skilled labor of Idaho exempt from
military duty or above the draft age,
and also to arrange for employment In
the industrial field so it will be posi-
BILE to clear laborers from one part OF
Idaho to another or in and out of the
state to meet emergencies.
In Pennsylvania recently 100000
carpenters were laid off Saturday
night. Monday morning they had all
been placed in other parts of the state
through the federal reserve service. In
this way the changing industrial de-
mands are met pending calls by the
government.
Labor CONSUMPTION Not Necessary.
Mr.. Markhus' appointment was
made by I. w. Critchfeld, associate d.
rector of the United States public SER
vice reserve, who visited Boise Satur-
day and consulted with Governor Alex
ander and Chairman Bryan Of the
Idaho council of defense.
"A labor CONSUMPTION act will be un-
necessary If skilled men enroll prompt
ly and periodically to this plan Of or
ganization," declared Mr.. Litchfield.
AS director for Idaho, Mr. Markhus
will appoint associates in each county
and each county director will appoint
assistants for each community who
will act as enrolling agents. All of
this will be patriotic and unsalaried
service.
The initial drive will be for skilled
ship mechanics, said Mr.. Litchfield.
This particular phase of the service
reserve movement will not relate to
unskilled labor for there is a surplus
of unskiled labor offered at the ship
yards.
| Men will be listed In readiness for
emergency calls to complete govern
ment contracts.

Ter Elhd Tor patent, and so easy In the
start to lease il as 10 force everybody
VINO needs tract of mining land to
"ork or operate, to lease it-and at
the next session of congress, or the
session after, perhaps, the bureaucrats
will introduce a bill to repeal the en-
Try clause in this bill and have it only
leasing by the bureaucrats of all pub
lie lands-and now that you have reg
ularly introduced the leasing system
your next step will be to make 1t per-
manent and general in the II public
land states and Alaska.
II the bureaucrats can get the pub
Tic domain so under their absolute
control to lease out" as this bill pro-
Vldes, upon their own terms-even for
few months-their political and fin
aneial greed will doubtless be quite
satiated, and it would remain for their
successors in office to swipe their slice.
The passage of this leasing bill by
the senate finally demonstrates that
in war time" with connivance of a
few congressman and the cry of pre-
tended war emergency" our bureau
Gratis can enact any political robbery
they choose, and have it obediently
o. KID. by congressional legislation,
counting the very grave danger against
which many able congressman have
constantly inveighed-and this with
out even granting the people hear
ing upon a matter most vitality af-
fecting their daily life and business,
their political status as free citizens,
and even the sovereignties of the
states in which they live.
The present spectacle Of the ruin of
Russian bureaucracy in Russia, and
its trail of political disaster, is no de-
terrent to our whilom patriotic bu-
reaucrats who believe that with their
present control of congress they can,
and doubtless they can, make their
pile before ''the day."
Barring the Russian bureaucracy
which has gone "where the woodbine
twineth," and the autocratic bureau
cracy of our kultural enemy, Ger
many, which is about to meet the in
evitable doom of all bureaucracies-
We are rapidly coming, if we have not
already arrived" to be the most en-
inently intense bureaucracy still on
the face of this planet we call our
home.
That contamination devoutly to be
damned has well nigh arrived" when
appointive officers not elective, rule
our nation.
But after the war-when the people
wake up to find the lands and indus
tries, the means by which they earn
a living, all in the hands of the bu-
reaucrats to whom and their vast
army of hirelings the people must pay
tithes and tribute-the people may not
only wipe out the bureaucrats, but in
cidentally some delinquent congress-
man, and they may also give merited
attention to the whole miserable and
Ill -fated congressional system which
Is now substituting Russian bureau.
cracy in this country for democracy.
Since the passage by the senate Of
the leasing bill, S. 1912, the people of
the west poignantly realize that they
are congressionally condemned to a
greedy saturnalia of plundering poll
ticians.
Respectfully,
CHESTER r. KEENAN,.
