WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-"Every
workman in the steel industry has the
expectation of nine days lost by sick.
ness in year as against four days
lost by accident, and it is estimated
that each year there are 284, 75O, 900
days of sickness among workmen in
the United States, costing $792,892,
O00," said Joseph P. Chamberlain of
New York, speaking at the annual
meeting of the American Association
for Labor Legislation.
That compulsory insurance against
accidents has been astonishingly rapid
during the last three years and is
bound to be followed quickly by
other forms of social insurance was
the opinion expressed by the Associa-
tons special committee and by Mr.
Chamberlain the principal speaker
who discussed the practfcability of
compulsory sickness insurance in
America.
Already Fact
Compulsory sickness and burial in
surance is already an accomplished
fact in the United States" said Mr..
Chamberlain, 'fbut it is insufficient in
amount and totally wrong in its meth
cd and purpose, and can never be
health insurance" That the present
insurance of the poor is enormously
and hopeIessly expensive and pro-
notes extravagant funerals; that
workmen do not oppose compulsory
insurance, and that contributions of
employers is already accepted in prin-
cipal; that the enormous value of the
organization of hospital funds, frater-
nal society and trade union benefits,
SO that their combined force can be
brought to bear upon the problems of
sickness, on the spread of information,
on the enforcement and improvement
of legislation, is at present entirely
dissipated; and finally that the prob
lem Of sickness insurance through
legislation is a problem of the imme-
date future in America, were the
principal arguments advanced.
Must Use Compulsion
1aCompulsion is necessary in order
to bring into the insurance the people
who are to be benefited and in order
to avoid the great cost of collection
and soliciting. Agreement upon this
point is complete" declared Mr.. Cham
berlain, VINO then outlined a plan for
mutual system of sickness insur-
ance, not under state control, but IN
der a certain degree Of State over
sight. This would promote a mutual
understanding between employer and
employee" said the speaker in con-
clusion, "and information as to con-
ditions affecting health and sanitation
would be spread broadcast.

Would Give Judges
Understanding

(Sneciall

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-That in
dustrial boards, seeking out and de-
claring the truth, may hasten the day
when the Judge shall not only have
the understanding heart of the Wis
consin Industrial Commission, before
the opening session of the seventh
annual meeting of the American AS
ISOLATION for Labor Legislation at the
Shoreham Hotel this afternoon. LET
such boards declare the facts with
out fear or favor and they will do
much to secure industrial prosper
3ty," declared Mr. Crownhart.
Laws as enacted by the legisla-
ture must he broad and comprehen-
siVe; but the application of the gen
eral rule to conditions should be left
to administrative commissions This
method is the reverse of court proce-
dure. 1t is not necessary to- wait I'M
til man is killed to determine
whether an employment is safe, as
the courts are obliged to do. repeat
ing the process with each death. We
need not wait for building to fall
down upon the public before it shall
be decuared unsafe and its use prohi<
bited." - = 49,
Must Amend Judge
+ "But the jurisdiction of the courts
must not be overlooked. COURTS
ARE AS JEALOUS OF THEIR JUR-
'ISDICTION AS THE LOVER OF HIS
SWEETHEART. And in the last ana
lysis, what the courts say goes, right
or wrong, unless, as was done in
New York recently, the people retire
the Judge and amend his constitution
at the same time"
Describing the good results of pub
lie utility commissions whose orders
have been sustained by the. courts,
Mr.. Crownhart said the same prin-
ciple was working well now in the
field OF labor legislation. at has
been found impracticable for the leg
islature to keep abreast of the times
in safety legislation. The elements
of safety in industry are SO many
and SO complex that details cannot
De expressed in the law without vital
omissions and often without bad mis-
takes of inclusion. Safety in indus
try is an experts problem quite as
much as fixing rates of public utii-
ties" l.
Must be Workers Law
An Industrial commission, said Mr..
Crownhart in conclusion, should be
very democratic 1t should see the
wheels go round; is should see the
man at work; il should know the life
of industry. It should call to its aid
the men who do things, and who are
affected by its administrative orders,
for then the labor law is obeyed be
cause It is their law and they under
stand the reason and justice Of its
provisions.
