Injured Employes of Monon Treated Liberally.

Lafayette Courier. President Kurric, of the Monon, believes that employes of the road when injured should be properly cared for by compensation, regardless of the law. This is the reason the Monon now has so few damage suits, so Mr. Kurrie said recently, “anyhow, it is a very .poor advertisement for a railroad to nave a poor man maimed and hobbling about because of an accidetn while on duty and him complaining that the company had not helped him. My* policy is to give these people even a little more a than the law would require, and that is the reason we have so few suits in court these days,”
