[wre Killed Karl Niemic? | Did the Bath-Tub trust, through contributory negligence im the lack of a health device, assist in the killing, of Karl Niemic, enameling worker? This was the question put to the front the other day at the Niemic inquest in the Cook county morgue, Chicago, and it was the first time in these United States that state authori ties tried to back a corporation against the wall and hold it sible for the death of a workman because of the lack of a HEALTH device. yar! Niemic had worked in the enameling department of the L° W. Wolff manufacturing company, part of the so-called) _ “bath-tub trust.” With other half-naked men wearing only trousers and shoes, he toiled in the heat given off from baking bath-tub enamel. Fumes and half-smoke rose in the air all night. A thin film of dust from the ground enamel filled the air. These things are at present necessary in order that our civilization shall have smooth and shiny surfaces to its bath-tubs. The half-naked Niemic went out of the room at half-past five in the forning after nine and a half sweating lours inside © the enameling department. He fell headlong from the top of a . €ement stairway, fractured his skull, and was found dead At the inquest State Factory Insector Ehn, a very human who once worked in a railroad machine shop, swore tt six months before the Niemic death, he had looked over enameling room and smelled keenly of its fumes and odors. eupon he had issued orders that the Wolff Manufacturing Company install a suction device to carry away the fumes and dust. Chief Factory Inspector Edgar T. Davies swore that he had followed up Ehn’'s inspection, found that the fumes and Gust were dangerous in the extreme, that many of the work- ers were badly run down as a result of these conditions, and that there were traces of arsenic in their systems. He con- firmed Ehn’s order for a suction device. Dr. H. K. Gibson, specialist on diseases of workmen, and fegularly in the Service of the state factory inspection depart- ment, testified that the dust and fumes might have contributed to the death of the half-naked workman whose skull was broken. It was a new proposition, a sort of new conscience haunt- fng the walls of the dingy and sorry morgue. The corporation lawyers set up defenses, spun out arguments, and spoke many words. And though the jury’s verdict was thought by many to have odd little corporations twists in it, the verdict did go go far as to assert that “conditions said to exist at the Wolff Manufacturing Company plant might have promoted death.” Is this a new principle of law we are coming to? If a cor- tion poisons and suffocates its workmen so they are physi- cally defective, are we going to hold the corporation respon sible? Are we going to widen the duties and powers of the coro- ser's jury and ask the employers, “How about this—are you €iving your workmen good air? \ Standpat Vermont has thrown off the yoke of old party This is the most significant “barometer” indication of yes- terday’s election. Even in the rock-ribbed republican states of the past, the people are no longer blindly voting for party Tabels alone. For the first time in 10 years and for the first time in its history in a presidential year, Vermont has failed to give the republican party a majority. Whatever may be the final results of the national election, the one thing that stands out clearly by the votes of such con- Gervative citizens as are found in the old Evergreen state, is that standpatism is dead. ‘The progressi rty rolled up two-thirds 4s many votes 4s the republicans. The progressive party was born on August 5, 1912, only 29 days before the election.
