A STATEMENT BY
SIDNEY JOHNSTON

An iutcrcs ing statement by Chef
State Factory lnspecto Sidney John.
aton dealing with factory Jaws and
conditions Tor Missou. has J.l.t bcel
issued, The statement was prepared
for publication in the 1913 Red Book,
which has not yet been rabtishcl.
But because Of publ, intc;cs, in
factory inspection conditions du, 70
the proposed adjustment Of the Fac.
tory Department and the establish
ment If an Industrial Commission in
Missouri, Inspector Johnston has had
separate copies Of his report printed
for immediate distribution.
Mr.. Johnston calls attention 10 mum
erous difficulties now encountered in
his department and to many defects
which he thinks should be corrected
Particular criticism is made of the
fee system which prevents the depart
rnent from being state wide An eff
fort was made during the last Legis-
lature to pass law removing these
restrictions, but the Legislature failed
to act, because no plan for maintain
ing the department has been devised.
This difficulty Johnston thinks could
be eliminated by the passage of the
proposed Industrial Commission hill
together with the WJrl.mea's Comper-
Sation bill.
"A tax Of five per cent Of the pre-
miums paid by employers under the
Workmens Compensation Act, to.
gether with the money now arpropri-
ated to the several departments, would
more than maintain the whole Com
mission declared Johnston.
81 have been working with the Sen
ate Commission on Workmcu's Com
penaation and believe if the general
scheme which they will propose for
the reorganization Of my department
can he carried out, the most beneficial
change ever made in the interests cr
industrial workers in Missouri will
have been accomplished
-Four bills are embraced in that
plan. First is the Workmen's Com
pensation Bill. Second is a hill Civ
ing authority for the organization of
insurance companies to write COM
pensation insurance. Third is the
Industrial Commission bill, providing
for commission to enforce the Work
mems Compensation Law and the
Factory Inspection Laws, and to have
general supervision over all Industrial
laws and problems. Fourth is the
Revenue bill providing for the tax on
insurance premiums to maintain the
Commission.
All the details of any of these bills
have not been agreed upon, and un-
doubleday will be subject to change
even after the Legislature meets. The
general plan, however, is strongly ad-
yocated by Johnston as the ideal So
luton for the troubles of his depart
ment, which at the present time is
charged with enforcing laws through
out the state which it has neither
funds nor inspectors to enforce with.
