much docrled body at WnBhlnft"" has
mado one. of the most fnr-rcnchlng de
cisions recently on tho uppermost
subject in the heart and life of the la
borers and their families. It: is that
the llablltyl law is constitutional. By
this decision the employe Is protected

If our many socialist readers will hear
this Instead of the men who are mis
leading them, they will be better oft
financially. According to his untrue
stories the employer can squeeze the
life out of an employe and then throw
his broken bones aside and call anoth

recourse, and that the supreme court
Is the tool of the Money Bags company
and will rule for them every time. . ,
