STATE AND LABOR TILT
OVER COMPENSATION
Enactment of Law Depends on
Settlement of Question OF
Casualty Companies.
MAY BE A COMPROMISE
Five Bills Now Before the
Legislature, but Only Two
Are Receiving Serious
Consideration.
by Telegraph To The Tribune

Albany. Feb. 15-Enactment of a work
mems compensation law depends just at
present on the settlement of differences
between the state authorities and the
labor unions as to whether in any COM
pensation system the casualty insurance
companies shall be allowed TO write COM
pensation insurance. The labor unions
through lawyers here. have accused the
companies OF all kinds of atrocities, ana
are giving vigorous opposition TO any bill
which would permit them 70 play any
part in any feature OF the compensation
scheme.
On the other hand. the State Insurance
Department and the legislative leaders
have not yet reached the point where they
will stand for state compensation fund'
,pure and simple, which is about what the
Federation Of Labors bill calls for
Therefore, there has resulted an impasse'
THE differences may be reconciled to some
extent this week. perhaps enough so a
compromise bill containing the features
ethe state authorities consider necessary

can be agreed on. II so, It's course

This is a feature which no one can be
too dogmatic about or pretend to be able

the experience existing at present was not
sufficient TO settle rates for injuries-that
casualty insurance at best was nowhere
near so exact a science as life insurance.

Thrown Out by Courts.

The unions year after year nave been
sending their representatives 10 legis!a-
tive committees with the same srgi-
ments. the SAME pleas. for damages from
employers for injuries received by the
workers in the course of their employ
ment. This resulted finally in the enact
ment Of the employers liability bill which
the Court of Appeals threw out. and then
the work began all over again. Through
il all has run the story of the accident
insurance companies. which write a policy
for the employer and then refuse 10 pay

Witnesses ana hound him afterward II

HAMPTON TALKS.
Winchester Man Breaks Sill

Of Jail.

Since the editorial in another column
was put in type. the Climax is in receipt
today of a telephone message from Win
chester which conveys the pleasing news
that Mr.. Hampton had yielded to the
law and been released from custody. He
went before the grand jury and said that
provided he was permitted to pay their
fines, if imposed, he would give the
names of the two men to whom he had
paid out money to spend in the election.
The question was put up to Judge Ben
ton and he agreed TO it. Mr.. Hampton
gave the names, which were Withheld,
and was released after Judge Benton
had read a statement from him giving
his position in the premises, which was
solely to protect him and his friends and
not to defy law. There was general
rejoicing that the matter was settled
and Judge and people seemed relieved
of severe strain.
