After a htrd strufcto gjilnst lha money of the Employen' Asso
ciation, the people, in November, 1910, passed the Employers'. Liability

'protection rather than compensation, and that is what we want Under ,
the Compensation Act of Washington, In seven months,' accidents in
creased from as 1-3 per cent to 59 3-18 per cent- (See Oregonlan,
August 17.) .The Washington commission, however, tries to'lay this
at the door of Mr. John Barleycorn, which is ridiculous.
The lumber interests of this state, who have the "human butcher
' shops," opposed the Employers' Liability Law. with large sums of
money. In 1911, they raised another "slush" fund, and went to the
legislature by the: train loads to pass a compensation act.: The labor
unions of Portland succeeded In defeating the bill.' .Again, at the tait
legislature, they raised a large sum of money, and went In train loads
to the legislature, and succeeded In passing the present bill. These
efforts were all made, and this bill was pissed to defeat the Employers'
Liability Law. , v -".i'' I ,.', ;
, Under the' present Compensation Act,; a man witly both, arms or
both legs or both eyes' removed; which' would be permanent disability,
