Provisions of Workmen’s!Denounces Them for Spread-

tion and Suit. j Propaganda.
(Special to The Ranner)
Atlanta. Ga., March 18 —A peculiar
effect of the Georgia "Workmen'*
Compensation Act," and misinterpre
tation of a ruling of the hoard by a
number of employers throughout the
state Is bringing to the C.eorgla In
dustrial commission a veritable flood
of lettern of complaint.
(Trtder the provisions of the act.
when an employe Is injured the act
fives his compensation to he paid by
the employer, and acceptance of that
mpensatlon by the employe pre
cludes further action by tho employe
against the employer. When a third
party Is Involved In an accident, how
ever the situation Is different. As an
illustration: The driver of a truck for
a wholesale roncern Is In the art of
hauling goods for the concern em
ploying him and in the discharge of
that duty the truck is run Into by a
railroad train and the driver Injured.
The act fixes the compensation to be
paid the driver by his employer and
that precludes any action by the
driver agalnat the employer. It does
not. however, preclude suit by tho
driver against the railroad company
for the Injury sustained. It has been
pointed out by the state board that
some of the compensation insurance
companies are writing policies seek
ing to subrogate that right of suit
against the railroad company—ns an
Illustration—to themselves and taking
It away from the employe, which Is
held to be Invalid because no em
ployer has the power to sign nway the
rlahts of the Individual employed hv
him aa against a third party. The act
does, however, protect the employer
against further suit, and covers so
far as the first and second parties to
the compensation Insurance contract
are concerned.
In order to clarify the situation
rommlssloner Stanley today Issued
the following statement:
"The Impression has gone abroad
that-1 mode the statement that *maa
could receive compensation from his
employer or tbe Insurance carrier pro
tecting the employer, and at the same
time enter suit at oommon law against
bis employer. 1 -made no such absurd
statement. Tho Workmen's Compen
sation Act provides a new and sole
remedy for the compensation of In
juries received bv employs coming
under tbe act. The payment of com
pensation take* away from the Injur
ed employe any possible suit at com
mon law against his employer. What
I did say was that the acceptance of
compensation did not bar the right ol
the Injured employe to enter suit
against the third person (not the em
ployer) causing the Injury. For ev
ample, nn employe might be Injured
hy u train, an automobile, or street
car. His Injury might arise nut of
and be In course of Ills employment
and, therefore, compt nsataltle. and yet
this would not bar him from a suit
at common law against the street car.
the railroad or the automobile owner
Injuring him, provided, of course, that
the person, firm or corporation caus
ing the injury was not the employer.
A suit at common law against a third
person Is not barred by the Georgia
Workmen's Compensation Ael nn.v
more than If the Injured employe had
aceldeot or life' Insurance, and col
lected tame In addition to receiving
compensation.”

(Special to The Banner)
Atlanta. Ga.. March 18 —The Geor
gia railroad commission has been of
ficially notified, hy telegraph, that the
Interstate commerce commission has
reversed It and set aside Ite order In
the recent freight rate Increase case,
In which the Georgia commission de
clined to allow 20 per cent Increase
In the then existing rntes on cotton,
cotton lintors and brick. In Intra-slate
transportation.
The order of the interstate com
merce commission, while consistent
with similar action by It In other ap
pealed cases. Is another Instance of
the taking over hy the federal body
of state regulation, of freight rates
on shipments wholly within o utate.
The carriers doing business In Genr
gla made application to the state com
mission last your for authority to In
crease all freight rates 20 per cent
(over the rates existing September 1.
1920. The case was Heard by the
Georgia commission and an order
banded down granting tho petition
exclusive of rates on cotton, cotton
llnters nnd brick, of which there Is
a very heavy tonnage In this slate un
dor earli head. This application hy
tho carriers sought to have the state
rates mnde the same as the rates In
I Interstate movements authorized by
the Interstate commerce commission,
which granted a full 20 per cent In
crease.
When th* order of the Georgia com
mission was headed down the rail
roads exrepted and appealed to the
I. G. C. under the "transportation act.”
after the Georgia commission had do
dined to reopen the case. The I. G. C
heard the appeal In Atlanta, the al
legation being that the order or the
Georgia commission was dlscrinilnn
lory against Interstate rates as an
thorized by the I. C. C. Tho Georgia
commission made appearance In that
hearing and resisted the motion ol
the carriers. Now comes the order of

Ing that, by nr before April 23d. a
rate of 20 per cent Increase bn put In
effect In Georgia on all rhlpraenu of
cotton, cetton llnters nnd brick wholly
within this state.
That makes a direct Issue nn the
power of congress to legislate on pure
ly Intrastate freight rates, taking the
regulation of shipments moving only
and wholly within a state out of tho
hands of the state body. It Is the
question on which the Wisconsin esae
now before the United States supreme
court Is made. Georgia and a num
ber cf other states Joined In that ruse,
whlrh has Just been argued, nnd the
derision of tbe supreme court, when
ever it Is handed down, will finally
