Concede to be Reasonable and Just
Twenty-two States Already Have
Similar Laws Will Have Many
Good Results.
Sal era. Ore.. Jan. 20. The common
law of "fellow servants or co-employes,"
which. Is now In effect In
this state, releases the employer from
all responsibility for injury of. one
employe, caused by the negligent act
of another, whether they be employed
in the same department or not- The
simple fact of their employment by
the same person or company Is, owing
to the ordinary wide construction
t-lvpn hv th rfimmnn amntp de-
Ifense against any action. This is es
pecially true as regards railroad cm-!
ployes, and owing to the particularly
hazardous conditions of their employ
ment it has become a great injustice
upon thosfc engaged therein. This
lin as introduced in the senate and
house is a fac simile of the Virginia
law enacted by the legislature of
that state in March, 1902. This law
is not an abrogation of the common
law of "fellow servants" but a modi
fication and is conceded to be reason
able and just It applies only to cor
porations ' operating railroads and
therefore has no reference to other
classes of employment.
In 22 states laws similar to this law
have been enacted and in every in
stance where the courts have Ijad oc
casion to consider their constiutional
ity they have been unanimously up
held.
The supreme court of the "United
States and also the courts of many
states, nave repeatedly held that such
Innovations upon the common laws
ore valid and not in conflict with the
fourteenth amendment or the Federal
constitution.
In regard to the connection that leg
islation directed to the employes of
one class of labor is class legislation,
nnd in contravention to the state con
stitution is not well taken and has
not been upheld by the courts as re
gards railroad employes. The rule
of liability as applied under this bill
is diflerent from that which ordinari
ly applies between master and serv
ant; but this difference is founded
on the hazardous character of service.
end. is not iutended to discriminate
against employers. The hazards In
cident to the use and operation of rail
roads Is a natural and reasonable
classification which justifies this ex
ceptional legislation. Under the enm-j
man law an employe assumes all
risks of injury from defective or un
safe condition of cars, engines, appli
ences, etc. If it can be shown that
he knew of or should have known of
such defects, whether these defects
had been reported to the proper per
son or not.
The courts of Oregon have held that
knowledge by employe of unsafe con
dition of appliances with which he
works and a continuance in the same
employment -is a bar to recovery, even
though such defects had been reported
to proper officials and sufficient time
had elapsed to remedy the defects.
The situation of the employes of rail
roads in this state is simply this:
Either work with the appliances fur
nished or resign, end resignation of
ten would result In privations to him
self and family.
The following results would unques
tionably follow the enactment of this
bill into a law:
First A noticeable decrease, in the
number of accidents both to the trav-
teling public and employes.
j Second Better service to the pub
lic in both pa.6enger and freight sen'
! ice.
t .
Third Owing to the plain wording
or the measure there will be fewer
cases brought -before the courts and
consequently less expense to all con
may Be clven for the above results.
First The railroad companies will
Le more careful In the selection of
their servants and thereby obtain a
better class of employes.
Second By Improving the condi
tions of their cars, engines, tracks.
etc. .there will be less liability for
accidents.
Third By improving the conditions
of employment of their servants, will
tend to atttact a superior class or em
ployes and ultimately prove a benefit'
not only io tht puMIr and employes,
but to the rallrods themselves.

Adams Advance Corrects a Story.
"Some men ' can be funny, even in

man, sending a stream of tobacco

r.is nerve ana delivered nimself on a
story, says the Walla Walla Union.
"Hit was 'way back in '8S. Hoss
thievin' had begun to be a regular
business with a certain class in Umn

state line farmers were losln' stock.
Finally one day the citizens of Wes

is now Athena, formed a vigilance
committee and suddenly started the

eu tveitn. The hangin' took place
where Adams was afterwards located
