Judiciary Committee Makes Repori
to the House of Represen
tatives.
After consultation for several day
the judiciary committee of the hous;
has drawn up a bill relating to la
bor contrae'ts which will, in the opin
ion of the members, eff?ctually re
medy conditions in thz repeal of the
old law declared unconz-itutional by
both the United States and Statc
courts. There were a large numbber
of bills introduced and from several
of these the ideas were obtained and
in order to avoid crowding the cal
endar unfavoraible reports were given
on these which were adopted by the
house.
The bill will come up for discus
sion at an early date as several res
olutions calling for a rep)rt from the
committee have been introduced. The
provisions are as follows:
''Section 1. That any persou
who shall hereafter contraet with
another to renier him personal ser
vice of any kind and shall thereafter
fraudulantly, or with malicious in
tent to injure his employer, fail 01
refuse to render such service as
agreed upon, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor.
",Sec. 2. That any person who shall
hereafter contract to receive from
another persona.l service of any kind
and to compensate him therefor and
shall thereafter fraudulently, or with
malicious intent to injure his em
ploye, fail or refuse to receive suc
service or to make compensation as
agreed upon, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor.
",Sec. 3. That the failure of either
party to such contract to perform the
obligations assumed by him there
under, without a sufficient cause an:
to 'the injury of the other, shall b:
prima facia evidence, in prosecutions
under sections 1 and 2, that he vio
lated such contract fraudulently and
with malicious intent to injure the
oth:?r party.
"See. 4. That any person who shall
hereafter contract with another to
render personal service of any kiid
to him and shall thereafter fraudu
lently or with malicious intent to in
jare the employer, procure advances
in moniey or other thing of vailu'a
from him with intent not to render
the service agreed upon and who shall
thereaffer, -with like intent, fail ori
refuse to perform thre service agree3~
upon, shall be deemed guilty of ami
demeanor. Proof of the fact that tha
employe entered into th'e contract,
procured advanees and failed or re
fused to complete the contract of the
-amployer, shall be prita facie evi*
deuee of the offense herein d'escrib
ed and declared a misdemeanor.
"!Sec. 5. That any person who shall
hereafter conratet with another tC
received from him personal service
of any kind, to compensate him there
for and to make advances to him and
shall thereafter fraudu.lently or -with
mali.cious intent to .injure the em
ploye receive -thre benefit of such ser
vice in whole or in part and with likE
intent fail or refuse to make the com
pensation or advances azreed upon
shall be deemed guilty of a misde
eanor. Proof of the fact that the em
ployer entered into the contract, re
ceived the benefit of t~he employe's
services, in ivhole or in part. and fail
ed to make the compensation or ad
vances agreed upon without sufficieni
cause, to the inry of the employe
shall be prima facie evidence of the
offense herein des-ribed and decelared
a misdemeanor.
Verbal or Written.
"Sec. 6. The contracts referred t<
in this act may be either verbal or it
writing: if in writing, they must b<
axecuted with the formalities requir
ed Iiy section 355, criminal code
1902; if verbal, they tnust be wit
nessed by at least two disintereste(
witnesses; and the term of serviet
contracted for must be for a definite
time.'not axceeding one year.
"Sec. 7. That upon conviction,. in

precuiin gyear under an old contract.
Ordinary Accidents.
There is not a day passes but some
one has a finger mashed, gets a s7evere
scald or burn, receives a painful cut
or bruise, or is taken with a sudden
cramp or pain in some part: of the
body. Such accidents are usually
lightly treait4l with some 'old
timey" remedy, advised by the pat
riarch of the neighborhood. and,
strange as it may seem. there are as
many such panaceas advised as there
are ills to cure. Every one has a
different remedy to offer. The a
fliction, though painful, is not, im
portant enough to- require a physi
cian. yet must be attenided.
Thouglitless people experiment with
Tom, Dick and Harry's prescriptions
at the risk of entailing serious com
Iplieations. How much better it
would be to keep on hand a bottle of
some well-known and guaranteed re
me.3v. such as Andes Great Oil. So
thoroughly efficient and reliable is
this celebrated lotion for the instant
relief of cuts, burns, bruises, sealds,
cramps. aches and pains, that it is
kept in a majority of homes as a
household necessity. It is dubbed
"the little doetor." a.d no such aeci
ient as. is mentioned above needs
surther treatment than an applica
tion of the oil to parts affected. It
cures toothache, headache, neuralgia
and internal cramps in tiwo tg five
minutes, reduces swellings and suples
drawn muscles or stiff joints like
maic. W. E. Pelham and ,Son are
sole distributors in this section. Price
50 cents per bottle. enough to last
indefinitely, for a little, goes a long
way.
