12 East Ave. A, Temple, Texas,
New York, Dec. 6.—Without re-
sorting to arms or declaring seces-
sion, a state has been established In
that part of Brooklyn called Browns-
ville. The population of the new state
la close on 6,000/ and is composed of
the pupils of public school No. 109,
Lumont and Powell streets, Brooklyn.
It haa been caned the McCabe
State school; the sponsors of the new
fetate having; called it after the dis-
trict superintendent, Mr. James J.
McCabe, The newly elected governor
is Morris J. Goldberg, a youth of 17
years, who was chosen by popular
vote. v •
The section of Brooklyn where the
school is situated is composed of a
very large percentage of foreigners,
and the Idea of the new state Is to
teach its citlsens to obey the laws
of the city and of the state of New
York. On last Friday the state he.d
What was called a visitors' session,
a day when the parents or outsiders
may visit the school and watch the
workings of the state government.
The visitors first got a glimpse of
the legislature, the members of which
average nine years in age. The dis-
cussions of the various motions
brought before the house were con-
ducted in a parliamentary manner.
In the house of representatives the
discussions were very enthusiastic,
and some convincing arguments
were advanced In favor of or in op-
position to some of the motions re-
ported by the various committees.
The supreme court is a very dig-
nified assemblage. The session was
opened by the clerk, Harry Gold-
berg, a lad of ten years, who in a
commanding voice announced the ar-
rival of His Honor the Judge, Mr.
Justice [Lazarus Drucke, who will
have to wait a matter of seven yea's
before he will be entitled to vote.
The calendar of the day consisted of
twenty cases, varying from the trip-
ling offense of bringing other than a
text book to school to the most se-
vere case of disobeying the order of
one of the policemen. There wits
very little leniency shown, some of
the offenders being reprimanded and
others sentenced to the service s-juad.
The school is composed of fourteen
classes and each Is represented In
the house of representatives by two
representatives and one assembly-
man. Each class also has Its own
mayor and sheriff.
Other boys holding executive of-
fice are David Hand, lleuteaaflt gov-
ernor; Max Harhanaky, attorney
general; La gar us Drucke, chief Jus-
tice; Charles Prager, secretary of
state, and Samuel Hodes, treasurer of
state.
Vfae school Is under the direction
of principal Oswald J. Schoclow.

In an exhaustive review of labor
legislation Lindley D Clark, A. M . L.
L. M., presented in a bulletin of the
bureau of labor, enactments affecting
employers' liability are shown to have
passed In a number of states.
Laws patterned on the British em-
ployers law of 1880, but restricted in
their application to common carriers
were enacted In Michigan and Texas
in 1809. Laws more general in their
application were passed in Idaho,
Maine, New Jersey and in the Phil-
ippine Islands.
LAW8 REyriRE NOTICE.
In general, these laws required a
notice of She intention to bring si^lt
to be given wiRiln from sixty to 1&0
days. The Michigan law simply re-
quires that action be commenced
within two years from date of cause
thereof. In the other states the lim-
itation is one year. The common
law rights of Injured employes are
not affected, but the employer, in
most cases is not allowed to offer
the defenses of assumed risk and con-
tributory negligence, where there is
a violation of any protective statute
enacted for the benefit of employes.
Restrictions of the use of the cus-
tomary defenses of employes in suits
for damages by injured employes, i. e.,
fellow servants, assumption of risks
and contributory negligence appear
in a number of acts besides those
above noted. Within this group are
the laws of Georgia, Iowa, Massa-
chusetts, Mississippi, Ohio and South
Dakota. The defense of fellow ser-
vice is abrogated in Georgia in cases
where the negligence of the company
or any of its employes occasions a
defeat or insufficiency in its equip-
ment by reason of which an employe
in injured. This law is supplemental
to a much earlier liability law en-
acted in Georgia, which was the first
state to pass a statute on lines similar
to the law in Great Britain.
AMENDMENTS IN MASSACHU-
SETTS.
Of the Massachusetts statutes the
first two are amendments, one pro-
hibiting the defense of fellow service
In connection with the operation of
elevated railways, cars and trains,
as In the operation of railroads gen-
erally. Another statute extends the
abrogations of this defense to cases
where injury is caused by any loco-
motive, car or train, by reason of neg-
ligence of another employe and not
merely of those in charge of such
equipment.
The Mississippi statute extends to
employes of corporations, of other
corporations and individuals using en-
gines, locomatlves or cars of any kind
propelled by steam, electricity, gas,
gasoline or lever power, and running
on tracks, the same rights are en-
Joyed by employes of railroad cor-
porations under an earlier law, by
the abrogation of the defense of fel-
low service in actions for injuries.
OHIO LAW ABOLISHES DEFE^C
The Ohio law abolishes the defense
of fellow service in actions for injur-
ies caused by fhe operation of trains,
engines or cars.
The defense of assumed risks is
taken away by the Georgia statute
referred to above, where the employ-
er fails to comply with laws for safe-
ty of employes'^ such failure con-
tributed to the Injury or death.
The first of the Iowa laws cited
above, says Dr. Lindley, contains a
premium similar to that just referred
to In Georgia, while the second de-
prives the employer of this defense
where he had knowledge of the de-
fect causing the tpjury, If it was his
duty to remedy such defect, unless
Injured employe Is charged with ths
duty of making repairs.
The Massachusetts law of 1909, cit-
ed above, does not permit The de-
fense of assumed risks where injury
Is caused by a defect which Is not
remedied within a reasonable time af-
ter report thereof, and Is almost the
same as the South Dakota statute
cited.
LIffBffJTY OF RAILWAYS.
The Ohio law declared the liability
of railroad companies for Injuries
caused by defects In rolling stock,
tracks, machinery or appliances, proof
of such defect being presumptive evi-
dence of the employer's knowledge
thereof. This statute also provides
that the employe does not assume the
risk of injury by reason of such de-
fects, though continuing in service
with knowledge TSereof. Contribu-
tory negligence as a defense is also
abrogated by this law in the situa-
tion indicated therein, as it is in Iowa
and Georgia, where the Injury is due
to employer's failure to comply with
the statutes providing for safety.
STATUTE IS EXPLAINED.
In further explanation of the statute
Or. Lindley says:
"A doctrine of comparative negli-
gence, according to which the con-
tributory negligence of the employe is
compared with the negligence of the
smployer, ai.f ju cases where the lat-
ter predominates, proportionate dam-
ages being awarded to the injured em-
ploye ,has received considerable sup-
port in recent years. Of the laws
mentioned above, those of Texas,
Iowa and Ohio embody this principle
and Xhe Georgia statute contains it
iu a somewhat modified form. Ac-
cording to this statute, lack of or-
dinary care on the part of the em-
ploye destroys his right to recover,
though where death results from in-
jury, the burden of the proof Is on
the employer to silbw that he exer-
cised ordinary and reasonable care
and diligence. Contributory negli-
gence of an employe not amounting
to failure to exercise ordinary care
will not defeat recovery for an in-
jury due to the employer's negligence,
though such contributory negligence
will operate to diminish the amount of
damages awarded by the jury."
CONTRACTS OF WAIVER
PROHIBITED.
Contracts of waiver are prohibited
by this Georgia statute, though an
employer who has contributed to an
insurance or benefit fund is entitled
to a set-off corresponding to his con
tribution. The same prohibition 1b
found in the Iowa and Texas statutes.
An Ohio law of 1908 and a Maine
statute of 1909 contain only this pro-
vision, the law of the former state
relating only to railroad companies.
"The idea of compensation Tor in-
juries was embodied in the act of the
federal congress of May 30, 1908, an
amendment thereto allowing the isth-
mian canal commission to grant com-
pensation under its own rules fpr not
more than thirty days per annual.
"The legislature of Maasachunetts
authorizes employers to submit to thfe
state board of conciliation and arbi-
tration, for approval, {ilans for the
compensation of Injured employes. It
is made lawful for employers to enter
Into contracts with their employes,
under approved compensation plans,
by which the employer is released
from other liability than that pro-
vided in the plan."
LEOISCftTION IN MONTANA.
The legislature of Montana provid-
ed for a state co-operative insurance
fund for miners. Contributions are
made by employers on the basis of
tonnage of coal mined each month,
employes contributing 1 per cent of
their gross monthly earnings. The
fund is to be controlled by the state
and the death Indemnity is $3,000.
Provision is also made for injuries
causing permanent disability by the
payment of monthly allowances, or a
lump sum not to exceed the death
indemnity, $3000. Commencement of
a suit at law to reoover damages for
injuries, operates as a forfeiture of the
right to benefits under the act.
