Connecticut Workmen's Compensation
Law Is Declared To Be Perfect Measure
Court qPn Full Gre" Measure
y

thoritv on economics Is well known 1t
represents a compromise between bill
cmanating from the special commission
on this subject appointed by the gov
crnOr at the instance OF the 1911 gen
eral assembly. one from the Connecticut
Federation of Labor and one from the
State Manufacturers association. Three
attorneys Russell OF New Hav-
en-. Cornelius J. Danaher of Meriden, and
Ralph o. Wells of Hartford, respectively,
drew these bills. and they consulted with
Prof Fisher and evolved this act. Gov.
Baldwin had a hand in phraslng the nm
ished bin.
This special commission consisted OF
Mr.. Russell, who has given long study
to economies; state insurance commits
sioner Burton Mansfield, also a New
Haven lawyer. and John Eccles of Nor
witch. who Is at the head Of the great
Ponemah cotton mills at Taftyille. Its
bill originated the district commissioner
idea. but had him appointed by the su-
periOr court in each Of four districts of
two counties each and made his powers
those of a committee of the court.
1t applied only to hazardous employ
ments, which would shut out perhaps
hElf the wOrlImen in the state. It
placed absolute liability on the en-
pl0yer and put employer and employed
on much the same footing as would be
the case if the latter went to court to
collect from the former at the expense
of the state. Its basis of compensation
was the so percent of the weekly wage
which has become general among com
pensation laws in this country.
A Series Of Unique Conferences.
The manufacturers bill was not so
different from the commission bill ex-
cept in details It provided one COM
missioner for each county, to be ap-
pointed by the judges of rhe superior
court, but to act so Independently Of it
that appeals from his rulings might be
taken to it. The commission bill merely
permitted remOnStTances to the court
from the findings of its commissioner.
The manufacturers bill covered all
workmen earning less than $500 a year,
however. Two of the best things in it
and which would appeal especially to
manufacturers, were its provisions for
the formation of mutual insurance assO-
Citations of employers with powers to
compel installation Of safety devices and
TO reward accident prevention by reduced
premiums and for the insurance of the
fui liability OF an employer IN some
manner satisfactory to the state insUr-
ance commissioner.

insurance measure; that Is. state insur-
ance as IL Is known IN this country.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania
in an opinion by justice Brown affirms
the decision Of the Dauphin county
court UNFOLDING the cOnstitutiOnality
OF the act of June 10. 1911, known as
the fun crew law. The Pennsylvania
railroad which sought an Injunction to
restrain the state railroad commission
from enforcing the law claimed that
its enforcement would increase the
roads expenses nearly half a million
dollars annually. without providing any
additional safeguards for the travelling
public. The law is similar to those Of
Arkansas and Indiana, which have been
passed upon by the United States su-
preme court. 1t requires an extra
brakeman on all passenger trains Of
more than three cars and on all freight
trains with more than 80 cars.

athletes from playing with independ-
