A Th cemnlexitiee ef the workmen-
compensation and employ ere" liability bill
proposed for passage br th Nebraska
legislature were Interestingly diacuaaed
before th Omaha alautacturer" sxsocia-
tlon after a dinner last night In th rath-
sketktr nf th Henshaw hotel.
Ana th deeper the speaker vent Into
the subject the more Impressed were the
listener ef the greatness of the under
taking In framing for Nebraska a Mil
for workmen's tumpensatt tor aoct-
dents and death.
Men who hare mads special study of
th subject, prominent lawyer, some of
those who are members of the commis
sion appointed to draft to bill, and lead
ing local manufacturers were among th
speakers to discuss and elucidate th
question.
The list of speakera Included Howard
H. Baldrlg. A. J. Essera. F. L Elite.
Victor Roeewater, C. F. Schwager. A. J.
Vterllng, Edaoa Rich and T. B. Ban born.
Mr. Sanborn, who la president of the
Omaha Manufacturers' association. Intro
duced the speaker and helped to empha
sis th Importance of th employers'
liability bill.
Two Ceaaaalaaleaere Attend.
Of the commissi oners appointed to draft
ths bill, only two wer present to enter
Into th discussion. Thsy wer F. L KV
lick. representing the employer, and
Victor Rosewater. commissioner-at -large.
Th other member of th commission
are C. D. Trapbacea of Lincoln, repre-J
sentlng th employers; A. C WsitseU
and F. A. Coffey, representing th labor
ing men; L D. Evan ef Kneaw and
Rev. A. 8. Weatherty of Uneola, com
missioners-!-large.
All thoo wh took part ht th mscus-
sloa announced the rose levee in faver of
some kind of a bill for workmen' com
pensation and employers' liability. They
argued th need of sorti legislation.
"In eleven states, California, Kansas,'
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Washington. Maryland, Montana, Illi
nois, Minnesota and Ohio, law havs been
psssed to protect th worklngman," said
Mr. Klltrk. "In foreign countries, curb
a Germany and Great Britain, where
such a law ha been In effect for many
year, we may see th advantage and
some of th disadvantage of th work
men' compensation and employers' lia
bility law.
"From these states which now have
law along I hi Ho w may see th
advantage and disadvantage of It and
can tram our law accordingly.
Vital relate I. Law.
"First, there sr two thing for us to
consider: Whether workmen compensa
tion for accidents and death shall be
elective or compulsory; whether em
pluysr anal I tsks th liability for aoot
dent and death to th employ or
whether liability shall be forced upon
them. There are such problems to con
sider a whether it (ball be Insuranc or
employer' liability; If Insurance, whether
all employers should dump their money
Into a common fund or whether th dif
ferent business be divided Into e leasee
with each class protecting It workmen.
We must oonslder whether It shall be a
burden of th employer lon r th em
ployer and the employ."
After outlining th many question In
volved and explaining their various
phase Mr. ElUck toft th subect for
discussion.
Howard H. Bald rig be gas hi remarks
with a glimpse at th problem from to
lawyer' viewpoint, considering the fact
that such law would tak from the
legal fraternity workman's damage suits
against their employers for accidents and
deaths. HI first statement was "that
lawyers have to live," but with th
lawyer partiality for his client h
quickly delved Into th proposition of
compensation.
Froteetlea for Workmen.
"W realise,' lie said, "that th work
lngman need protection and h need It
moat whan out of work and Injured.
Th tedious delay ef th law compel
him many time to accept leas than he
ouKht to accept when suing for damages
for Injuries he ha sustained. W at
far behind Great Britain and Germany
In making adequate and prompt compen
sation to the laboring man.
"Th purpose of this proposed law Is
to adjust a speedily and as Justly aa
posslbl differences between employer and
employe. The National Crete federation
and th Federation of Labor both bar
such prospective law. W should study
tfcem and the laws of the states now
operating such laws bad consider them
in drafting this bilL I am in faver of
som form of workmen's compensation
bill and want 1 see the right of th
employer protected-"
Victor Rose-water talked on the topic
from th viewpoint of to commisstonar-at-larxc.
"In drafting this bill," be Mid, "tb
commission baa been very careful. I
t'.'nk It would be a splendid thing to
draft a tentative bill which can be held
up for consideration and criticism of both
the employer and employe. In such a
nay we can artr at what Is most
wanted and needed.
"It would be well for the members of
this organisation to tak th subject each
to apply It to bis ova business. In my
mind, H I more ef a problem of fcumant
tarlantsra than anything els. A large
number of seddenta ar no en' fault- 1
think w ehouid remove th burden from
the Individual and place rt oa th In
dustry. There Is a question whether It
should be placed on th tndtvlduet em
ployer la th industry, whether to create
a class fund or make a general fund from
taxation. There is also the question of
limitation. There will be some to ask
why we should not include sick benefits,
fir damage, old xe and ao oa"
A. J. Efrgers explained the Waablngtoa
law, which, he -eaid, ajceonts to a com
pulsory state insurance. It pro rides a
general Insurance fund created by taxing
the pay rolls of the various Industries.
He told of tbe three commissioners whose
duty It is to adjust ciaima and watch out
for frauds.
A. J. Vterllng touched on the quesUoa
of partial disability and advised a general
fund oa the bast ot old line Insurance.

Edson Rich made the declaration that
with a workmen's com pee tloa and em
ployers' liability law la Nebraska the
Iruoo Pacific would pay out la claims B
per cent more than they do at present,
yet the company preferred the new law.
"It la partially theoretical and partially
Practical." he said. "The unfairaesa ef
