learned counsel who have filed briefs
In support OF the auditors contention:
II is so conceded by all modern
statesmen, d. jurists,- and. economic
writer's who have voiced their
opinion on the subject, and the prin-
ciple has been enacted into law by
nearly all of the civilized countries
OF Europe, by Australia. by New Zea-
land. by the Transvaal, by the prin-
cipal provinces of the Dominion OF
Canada, and in a partial. form. at
least, by one of more South Amer
lean republics.
Indeed. so universal is the senti-
ment that to assert to the contrary
is to turn the face against the en-
lightened opinion of mankind. The
common law does not purport to at
ford a remedy for tho condition here
found to exist. 1t affords relief to
an injured workman in only limited
number Of cases-cases where the IN
Jury Is the result OF fault on the
mart of the workmen.
For the greater number of injuries
tracable to the dangers incident 70
Industry no remedy at all is afforded.
