Washington D. c.. Jan: owing -

ment, the Comptroller of the Tress,i
decided that employees working IN l'-I ! /.

LAW WORKS WE'LL.

worcester, Mass, Jan. .-Compen-
sation approximating $597 900 has been
awarded workmen in the first five
months operation of the EMPLOYERS
liability law. There has been 1000 ac
cidents reported since July l, the date
upon which the law took effect. OF
these 80 per cent were. not disabled
longer than the two weeks required
beofre the workman can get any com.
pensation. Compensation has been
awarded to 20 per cent of all the cases
reported. OF the whole number less
than 80 per cent have preferred to-
take the recourse afforded them by
the law, that of trial by jury. About
$4,000 has been awarded to work
men who have suffered from, acct
dents other than fatal Injured work
men have received half their wages
for periods averaging a month. The
most taht workman can receive is
$40 a week and the least is 81, no
matter how large or small his salary
may be. The average wage. of all the
workmen is SIP and the average com
pensation is S. Owing to the. fact
that the. loss from accidents to EN-
ployes has been made a fixed cahrge
against industry has operated as a
powerful incentive to prevent acct
dents dangerous occupations are be-
coming less so, for the insurance com
panles, with experts acting as do the
hre underwriters, are teaching the
employers how to- eliminate danger.
Not case disposed of by the COMMITS
sion has been taken to court The
speed of operation which the commits
sion has attained has been CONNIE nd
able and few. if any, cases have been
undecided two weeks after the acct
dent was reported, thus providing the
injured to draw compensation imme-
diately when the applicant is entitled
to it.
