WORKERS HARDSHIPS.
Labor Commissioner Powers Con-
s.siders Them at Length in
His Report.
Evils and Benefits OF Accident In
surancesand Employers
Liability.

In his Forthcoming report State Labor
Commissioners Powers will deal at length
with the matter of loss to workmen by
accidents, and discusses the matter of
accident insurance OH employees TO be
carried by the employer. The matter
is closely analvzed fr0Ip~the standpoint
of the workman and manufacturer, and
then the commissioner proceeds to show
that whenever the responsibility OF the
EMPLOYER has been increased the num-
Der of accidents has been decreased
proportlonately, and proves the correct
ness of his theory by the results oD-
tanned from the periodical Inspection OF
steam boilers. Before this system was
introduced the responsibility rested ell
tirely with the engineer. and in spite OF
the fact that in the event OF an explo-
there were hundreds of explosions an
nually. AS soon as the responsibility
was placed with the employer, he em-
ployed system of scientific tests by ex-
pertS, and accidents that the average
engineer could not guard against were
avoided. The same illustration APP
plies to elevator inspection.
Employers liability laws are given
attention., and the commissioner holds
that they are by no means an unmIXed
good. He says while these laws have
proved disappointing to the wage
carriers. they have become, at the same
time, very obnoxious to the employers.
they have developed class OF lawyers
who make specially of damage suits.
Some of these lawyers have secured
reputation OF not being prescriptions
in their methods. The employees
charge that false testimony is often
manufactured for these damage suits.
The whole situation is fraught with
evil and wrong. And So it will continue
until measure Of relief to injured
workpeople is provided that is just to
all concerned.
1t is suggested by the commissioner
that the German plan be followed, and
this, in general terms. provides that the
employer snail carry certain amount
OF accident insurance on the persons i'll
his employ, and that the employees re
ceive the benefit OF such Insurance III
the event Of accident. The suggestions
on this line are very prOilX. and deal
with the subjects of employers liability
and accident Insurance Ill all their
possible bearings.
