troduced into the Senate today by
Mr.. Kern. of Indiana. This bill has
been drawn after careful investiga-
tion by the American Association

ployes. grants no relief for incapacity

duces the waiting time from fifteen
days TO three. and grants n liberal
scale Of compensation during entire
period OF disability Special proyi-
sion is made for the prevention OF
accidents and occupational diseases
IN navy ana Government workshops,
and another feature is compensation
for occupational diseases, such as
lead poisoning A commission OF
three is provided to administer the
law.

partment Of Commerce and Labor,
recently reported that government
employees suffered 2l0O0 serious acct
dents. 670 of which were fatal. dur
ing the past three years. But, IA
only one-third of these cases was any
