"Intcrstate railroad and maritime
employmcnts are necessarily excluded

constitutional limitations. Other eX-
clusions in a number of states include
public employees, casual labor and em-
ploymenta not conducted for gain,
such as charitable and religious insti-

Farming Hazardous Job
1t is interesting to note that logging
in Maine and coal mining in Tennes-
see-two highly hazardous industries
are also excluded. The reason for
the almost universal exclusion of agri-
culture in the United States can hard
ly lie in the fact of its on-hazardous
character. The opposition of the
farming element no doubt explains it
Secretary Davis believes that the
exclusion of -eWployments orremploy-
ers on the ground of having low
hazard is indefensible.
IAN injury received in a mercantile
Establishment may be just as severe
and entail just as much economic dis
tress as one received in mine," said
ecretary Davis. "And, furthermore, If
an occupation is in fact only slightly
hazardous the additional burden on
society will be slight because of the
very fact that accidents are infrequent
in these exempted employments."
