woRkMEN,s COMPENSATION LAW

|WoRkMEN's' COMPENSATION LAW
Iowa is behind the times In the
matter of providing indemnity for
work accidents. This fact is admit
ted by laborers and employers alike,
and Is especially proven in three
hundred and forty page volume on
the History OF Work Accident In
demnity In Iowa. by Mr.. e. II. Dow
ney, which has just been Issued by
the State Historical Society Of Iowa.
The author points out In telling
manner the need of indemnity for
work accidents, and discusses the
existing law OF employers liability in
Iowa and It's ineffectiveness in prac-
teal operation. A separate chapter
is devoted to work accident indem-
nifty abroad, special attention being
given to the systems employed in
England and Germany. Recent in
demnity legislation IN the United
States is then outlined, and finally,
the recommendations of the Iowa EN-
ployers' Liability Commission are dfs-
cussed and some standards of indem-
nifty legislation are suggested. That
Iowa needs a new law providing ade-
quate compensation for work acci-
dents must be evident to all who
read this volume.
