UNDERWOOD'S STATEMENT

wood follows:
To the Democrats of Alabama
I have been honored with the
commission of the people of our
state for the last six years to rep
resent them in the Senate of the
United States
| desire to announce that I will
be a candidate in the Democratic
primary for denomination for the
term commencing the fourth day
of March, 1921. After over 30 years
of service in Congress, | do not
feel that it is necessary for me a
this time to enter into a declara-
ton of principles as to what |
stand for and advocate.
On account of the converting of
Congress and the fact that the
primary takes place in May, I will
be compelled to spend the larger
rort oil of the intervening time in
shington in discharging my Of
fetal duties.
Mr.. Lloyd NJ. Hooper Of Selma
has consented to act as chairman
of the committee to manage the
oampa gn in my behalf. and he will
within few days announce the
names of the vice chairmen who
have consented to act with him in
organizlEa the campaign.
I shall greatly appreciate the
support and renewed confidence Of
my friends and constituents and
shall maintain and uphold the
fundamental principles of the

elected.

TWO CORPORATIONS

The workmen's compensation act.
passed by the legislature last summer.
and which goes into effect today. will
be contested by several of the corpor-
ations in jefferson county, it was
stated yesterday.
The Pratt Consolidated Coal COM
pany and the, New Castle Coal com
pany filed notice with the probate
judge yesterday that they had elected
not to come under the provisions of
the act. This is necessary procedure
where employers do not care to ac-
cept the provisions of the compensa-
ton act.
No court proceedings are necessary
at this stage unless a direct attack on
the act itself were contemplated. but
this would later result in suits grow
ing out of personal injuries or death
OF an employe of such company as had
not accepted the act
The law provides that IF an en-
ployer elects not to come under Part
of this act, he loses the right to in

personal injury or death of an en-
p1oya-v
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1920-01-01
COMMON LAW DEFENSE

The detenses referred to are con-
tributory negligence, assumed risk,
and the fellow-servant doctrine, known
as the common law defenses.
If the employer elects to come under
the act and the employee does not, then
the employer may interpose any or all
of the defenses recognized by law at
the time of the adoption of the act.
While the compensation act is not
strictly speaking, compulsory. it is SO
in effect, in that it denies to those not
electing to come under it the only de-
lenses usually made to suits arising
out of personal injuries to employees
or the death of an employee.
State Insurance Commissioner A. w
Briscoe will be in Birmingham on jan
uary to consult with employers of
Birmingham and vicinity about the new
law. He has held number of con-
ferences with employers over the state
and one with coal operators of this dis
trict and has fixed the premium rate
on several classes of work. Those so
far fixed. it is said range from a lit
tie over 81 on the 500 gross pay roll
where the hazard is slight, to 1885 on
those clasSed as extra hazardous.
