Excerpt from The New Laws of Employers Liability in England and France and Their Bearing on the Law of the of or Quebec: With the Text of the Two Acts La grande industrie was not born, and its dan gers were not and could not be provided for. It is a gentlemanly and dignified Old law with a great deal about seigneurs and vassals, about domestic servants and horses, and about the blacksmith or the carpenter whose services may be called in, but very little about the large workshop, and, of necessity, nothing about the dynamo or the locomotive. Before the days Of steam, and electricity, and dyna mite, and lyddite, the workman could, as a general rule, protect himself by the exercise Of ordinary care. His tools were few and simple. None of them moved except when he handled them, and no one was in a hurry. It is, therefore, not to be wondered at that the law gave him no claim for damages unless some fault, at least of omission, could be clearly brought down to the employer. Under modern conditions millions of workmen pass their lives in continual danger. They have to deal at close quarters with complicated ma chines, to handle terrible explosives, to run the risk Of coming in contact with live wires and, in a word, to face a thousand perils. Even the strictest care cannot always save them. A boiler may burst or some other accident occur, the precise cause Of which can never be discovered. Hundreds Of lives have been lost by this terrible accident anonyme, as it has been well calleds In many kinds of employment the workman knows that he is exposed to mysterious and sudden danger.
