HE field in which the na tional ' government . may work in helping the wbrk- ingman to be properly compensat ed for injuries he might receive while working is limited, but I am convinced that with a PERFECT ED NATIONAL EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY LAW the states will gradually enact effective leg islation in harmony with the na tional law. I also advocate tlie en t.etnipnt of a stringent linbility law (u the theory that an effective lia bility law is certain to be followed by the general adoption of precau tionary measures for the preven tion of accidents.

II AVE long been convinced that the present method of awarding- compensation to employees for injuries for which employers are responsible is obso; lete and DOES NOT APPLY TO '.-.MODERN INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS. It is probable that a reform cannot be inaugu rated until a considerable number of states are prepared to act. with practical uniformity. What , hap pened in Massachusetts in 1904 is 1 1 likely to happen to the attempt of , . ... .... i .,-., . ... ... .. ., any singie state to enact a law based upon the principle that occu pational Injuries should be charg ed, to the manufacturer as an ex pense of production. Manufactur ers will always contest it in such cases upon the ground that they ARE PLACED AT A COM PETITIVE DISADVANTAGE WITH THE MANUFACTUR ERS OF OTHER STATES IN LIKE INDUSTRIES. By P. TECUMSEH SHERMAN, Former Commissioner of labor tar the State ot New York. ' T AM' impressed bv the TRE itEXDork rdex THESE AUCIDEXTS PLACE UPON' THE POOR, by the entire failure of our law to relieve it or to d justice, although in its attempt to do o it imposes a heavy burden on . employers, courts and jurors aruKou the pub lic for support of the court. There are constitutional difficul-' ties to adopting a system of com pensation based on foreign laws, . ... i . but they iiuay be avoided by amendments to state constitutions when public sentiment in favor of compensation becomes strong enough. There arc some who see a . difficulty in the "due process" clause of the federal constitution, but the decisions of the. United States su preme court seem to be the. other way. ' . A COMPENSATION LAW BY MAKING THE LIABILITY FALL AUTOMATICALLY IN PROPORTION TO THE NUMBER AND SERIOUS NESS OF ACCIDENTS WOULD MAKE CARELESSNESS ON THE PART OF THE EMPLOYER COST LY AND CARE ECONOMICAL.
