LS The Civil Service Commissioners held a secret conference yesterday afternoon with pursued in the matter of Judge Hebbard's decision overthrowing the merit system in so far as it affécts county offices. Com- | | missioners Freud, McCarthy and Quinn | were present at the conference and took | part in an animated discussion whica lasted more than an hour. The only con- | clusion arrived at was that an appeal | will be taken immediately to the Su reme Court. This much was admitted “reud and Quinn when they came away from | the meeting. Neither of the commission- ers would say anything further. McCarthy strongly urged his colleagues | to hold the examinations scheduled for | the offices proscribed from civil service, | notwithstanding Jud§e Hebbard's deci- | sion, but Freud and Quinn would not agree to this plan unul the matter had ducted the commission’s side of the case “1 am in favor of holding the examina- | tions scheduled even at the risk of being | cited for contempt of court,” said Me- | Carthy after the conferenc he fact that I might spend a few days in jail would not deter me from rising to a de- fense of the civil service system to which Judge Hebbard has dealt so serious a blow. 1 consider Hebbard’'s deciston as an outrage in that it prevents the Civil | Service Commissioners from performing their legal duties. If I could bring my as- sociates to my way of thinking, we would it might be to our personal liberty. It #eems, though, that more peaceable meas- | ures will be resorted -0 and a reversal of | Hebbard’s decision by the Supreme Court is vur only hope.” Auditor ‘Wells is in some doubt whether | the salary demands of the Civil Servics Commissioners should be audited. He | has referred the matter to his legal ad- visers for an early opinion. ““The fact that the duties of the Civil Service Commission have been seriously curtailed by taking from its jurisdiction all the county offices will leave but litse for it to do,” says Wells. “The decision ! to my mind affects any office which does | business with the State and to tae long list of offices which were directly affecte: by the suit might be added the office of | the Auditor, Treasurer and even the Reg istrar. In that eveht the Civil Service | Board would be concerned only with the Board of Public Works, Health Board and the Police and Fire Departments, and this vimuld not require a great deal of thelr time “As T understand the matter, the suit was brought by a taxpayer to prevent a and I might be enjoined from signing the salary demands of the commissioners on that ground. I have referred the point to my attorneys, however, and I will abide by_their opinfo “Recorder Godchaux, who probably had more civil service eligibles forced upon him than any other city official, says that he will not take any action with re- ard to his copylsts as a result of Heb- ard’s decision. A rumor was current around the City Hall that Godchaux would dismiss his copyists to make room for some of those who were ousted when eivil service was put into effect. “1 will do nothing,” said Godchaux, “‘un- til the case is finally settled on appeal. Judge Hebbard simply overruled the de- murrer put in by the Civil Service Com- mission. The commission has ten days unhln which to answer, but, with the ectancy of an unfavorable decision, it r probably take the case to the Su- reme Court instead. Tt is quite likely hat after the final decision is rendered T will reappoint some of my old staff as vacancies occur.” PROMINENT PEOPLE WILL BE JOINED IN WEDLOCK Sheldon G. xsllogg and Miss Annie Sheppard Are to Be United This Evening.

This rule is based on the foundest reason. The emplover must | look to those who work for him for such { infcrmatien. The empl of a great ona! inspection ould persons | factory could not by | ind out every defect; | appointed by or | course there is often inspect ma- | ehinery by perscns who are skilled in the | use of'it, but besides such inspections the law clearly throws on employes the duty | also of notifying employers cf all defects ‘msx happen while they are at work. Employes Must Notify Their Em ployers of Defects, Etc. If a defect occurs in a machine or an in- competent employe is found out and the | Giscoverer continues at his post and gives | no notice of his discovery and is after- ward injured throvgh the defect, what- i be, he can recover nothing. | In such cases the courts say that the em- ploye assumes the new risk. Consequences of Not Giving Notice. Suppose he does give notice, what then Douptless many of owr readers imagme we will answer that the master becomes at once the insurer against the new risk. Nothing of the kird. If he promiges to repair, then he becomes the insurer: if he keeps silent, in many States, though not in all, the courts have sald that ne does not assume any new liability. What | then is the condition of the employe? { Efther_he must assume the new rsk or The master cannot compel him to he can quit if he pleases; ! he chooSes to remain he does so at D rn rioke caless his employer prom- ises to repair or remove the new defect or risk, whatever it may be. The rule has been repeated by the courts. The Case of a Miner. On one accaslon the rule wus applied in P nor him for that | 187 | | | | | | employe through his continuance in the is s» obvious and inevitable as that no person of ordinary prudence would venture upor it then the continu- ance of the peril is at his own risk and the empioyer is acauitted of responsibil- ity upon the ground of the employe’s con- tributory negligence. Where, however, the employe or servant, electing not to hhandnn his employment, gives notice tu he employer of such dpfn(‘t in the appli- ances or instrumentalities used by him, and the emplcyer promises to remedy the defect, the relationship of the contracting parties at once undergoes a change. The @ssvrances of the employer that the dan- ger sball be removed .s an agreement by him that he will assume the risk incident Alabama to the case of a miner. It is everywhere admitted, says the court, “that !f the danger encounfered by the | service to the danger for a reasonable time. | Such is the law in all the States. ‘Wilder’s Case. In Wilder's case against the United States Rolling Stock Company, which was tried by the courts of lllinols, he was - jured i; an Incompetent engineer em- ployed by the same company. In setting forth his duties the court sald that ne d | was required to ‘keep his eves open to what was passing before him, and avail | himself of such information as he might receive with respect {o the habits and ways of his fellow-servants, and if. from either of these sources of information, found that one Of them, from {ncompe- tency or other cause, réndered his own position extra hazardous, it was his duty to notify the master, and if the latter refused to discharge the incompetent or otherwise unfit fellow-servant the com- | plaining servant would have no alterna- tive but to quit the master's employ. If he does not, he will be deemed to have as- { sumed the extra hazard of his position | thus occasioned. On the part of the mas- ter, it is negligence to retain the derelict | servant in his employ. It is, on the other hand, negligence In the complaining ser- | vant to continue longer in the master's service unless he intends to assume the | extra risk himself.” If He Does Not Notify He Assumes the Risk Himself. This is the law in most States. An em- | ploye must notify his employer of the in- | competen of a fellow-servant who is | wor ing h him, of a defect that has | happened in any appliance or machine ne ! is using. If he does not he is regarded as assuming the newly discovered risk | Thus far all the courts enforce the same rule. But if an employe gives notice of a defect or of the working of an incom- | petent servant by the side of him he still assumes the risk if his employer does not promise to remedy the defect and his e ploye continues to work. The courts of Tllinois and many others say the same thing, that an employer negligent If he does nothing to remedy the defect after | he has received notice of it; on the other | hand, the employe is also negligent if he remains at his post. The courts say that he can quit and that it is his duty to do so0. This, however, Is not the rule in all the States, as we shall soon learh. ! Effect of Employer’s Promise. An employer on receiving such notice | often promises to dismiss the Incompetent gervant, or repair the defective apparatus, and by reason of this promise the employ: continues to work. such cases the courts all agree that he does not assume the new risk; the master assumes it. In other words, he would quit work if his fect good. The master does not wish him to stop, and tells him to go on as befor and he will cure the difficulty, whatever it may be; and he, relyrnisolply on this promise, resumes his {as Clearly such cases the master is liable for any injury that may happen to him after that ance or continuing to labor with the in- competent servant. But if, when he no- tifles the master of his discovery, he say3 nothing, is_an oyster, makes no promisa { to do anything, he assumes no new lia- bility, and if his workman continues o labor as before he does so at his own risk. Effect of Not Keeping the Promise. Again, suppose an employer makes a romise to re;\alr and forgets it, or breaks F! what then? tion. The rule is this: Iying_upon it, continues at his post. can hold his employer for any liability that may happen to him growing out of the fleferl of which he had given notice, within a reasonable time to remedy it if | the employe Is o inclined. ~ If he does | not remove the defect within this period, tife law regards him as having changed his mind, and his promise to repair or remove the defect is no longer binding. | If, therefore, the employe continues to work beyond this Deflod 'ven by the law to the employer to e his 08 he doce so at his risk, as thoush the employer had never promised at all. How Long Is the Promise Binding? The reader may ask, What is this rea- sonable time within which an employer, if if an employe, re- which he is not bound In any event? No definite time can be fixed; each case stands by itself. In a case against the in Minnesota an employe who served as a blacksmith gave notice that m. ant was incomj 'ent and wi a better one. elying on tMn pmmln, he continued at his wo four days afterward was injured by his assistant.
