House Judiciary Committee to
Report Favorably on Meas

After long delay and the overcoming
of much opposition, the workman's

The bill passed the Senate monthi

then the question will be to get it to

Hmong railroad employes. They ato
more nearly united for It now than eVer
lK-fore and this is adding to the strength
of the measure.
Should the bill fall of a vote in the
House this winter, there seems "no
question that it wjll be passed by Con
gress in the regular session a year
hence.
Friends of the bill, however, see no
reason why the country should await
legislation so lopg. They hold that the
measure has had ample consideration
and attention, and that there is no rea
son for waiting They consider that the
principle of compensation is rteht and
progressive, and that it is time for
Congress to Incorporate it into the law.
c Compensation laws are taking fast
hold on the States, and this is a large
lapiqr m bringing -atout action in Con
gress. It is not easy for a member to
stand up and balk at the principle of
compensation wnen his State has adopt
ed it.
Sixteen States have compensation
laws, and several others are investi
gating. Bills of the same general na
ture as J.he bill pending in Concress
have been introduced in the legisla
tures of Missouri. Texas, and Arkansas,
nnd thev are helping to gain support
for the bill which Congress Is considering.
