RESULT OF THOROUGH STUDY

Said That Its Features viii Make il
Desirable for All Employers

Lansing. Mich, Dec 26.-The report
of the commission appointed by Gov
ernor Osborn to inquire into the mat
ter of compensation for injuries or
death of workmen in the performance
of duty has been made public.
The report recommends an employ
ers' liability and workingmen's COM
pensation law which will put Michi-
gan in the forefront of those states in
the union which have adopted this ad
vanced and progressive legislation.
The members OF the commission are
unanimous i'm their recommendation.

been the secretary.
An Optional Law.
The commission recommends an
OPTIoNAL--as set off against a COM

recommendation was unanimously
agreed upon because of the fact that
