that he was growing tired of taking
the job of determining facts in civil
actions away from a jury. He was
joined in his protest by Represent
alive Clegg, of Moore, and Senator
Rodman, of Beaufort. Result was the
naming of a subcommittee to rewrite
the unemployment compensation COM
missions amendment to the present
act, hastily adopted in the special ses-
sion Of 1885.
The commission amendment pre-
cipitating the argument provided that
in hearings held by the commission
to determine liability of the tax-pay
ing employer, the findings of fact
should be binding on the court, if APP
peal is taken from the hearing. The
subcommittee composed of Senator
Rodman, and Representatives Cherry

Other commission amendments to
the act were unprotected, and the en-
tire lot will be reported favorably and
speeded through tn Legislature. Most
of them have to do merely with the
mechanics of record-keeping and with
necessary changes to conform to fed

ments Senator Rodman, who is a
member of the advisory council for
the commission, declared that the orr
