THE COMPENSATION ACT.
One more case, only one more—two, perhaps. [Laughter.] We passed in New York a workmen’s compensation act.
The Supreme Court of the United States, interpreting exactly the same language in the Constitution of the United States as the court of appeals interpreted in the constitution of the State of New York, and in reference to a practically exactly similar bill, decided that that law was constitutional.
The Court of Appeals of the State of New York decided that the Supreme Court of the United States was wrong [laughter] and that the law was not constitutional.
Now, I want you to listen to this sentence, because I haven’t seen this fact brought out by any man yet.
