Must Forego Damage Suits.

MuSt FOTegO damage SUITS.
Every employee of the concern coming
under the proposed system gives up the
right to recover damages other than the
compensation provided, unless, upon hir-
ing, he contracts to the contrary. This
does away with expensive lawsuits.
The method Of paying for the pro-
posed insurance has been one Of the big
gest questions before the committee.
Many experts insist that the employer
should pay the whole cost. Others argue
that the wOrkmen should pay part of
the cost. The committees tentative bill
includes two optional sections. One pro-
vides that the employer shall pay the
whole cost, the other that the state shall
reimburse him with 20 per cent. of the
premiums.
Scale for the Payments.
Compensation for injuries is to begin
after the end of the second week Of
disability, eliminating trivial cases. The
scale provides for the payment of 80
per cent. of the employees wages during
disability, with maximum of $4,000,
which also is the maximum death bene-
fit. If the workman is rendered wholly
incapable to work and 50 helpless as to
require nurse, he is to receive his full
wages. In cases of death the dependents
are to receive three years wages, the
minimum $1,000 and the maximum $4,000.
The committee has drafted tentative
bill designed to take away the common
law defenses of employees in personal in
jury suits.
In sending out the tentative measures
the committee announces that it will
make no report to the governor until
every opportunity has been given for
hearings. The first hearing has been set
for Tuesday, April l., in the school
board rooms of the Milwaukee city hall.
1t will be open to the public.
