NEW YORK'S WORKMENS EMS LAW

New Yorks Workmens Compensation law, which ven into effect
last week, applies practically ITO all mechanical and manufacturing occu
patons. 1t revolutionizes the whole matter of employers liability and
of the workman's right TO compensation for injury in the courseo OF such
employments 1t is the result of long years of agitation and of con
troversy o constitutional grounds. Its application is therefore an indus
trial event of the first magnitude for the state.
The old 'defenses to the employer against actions fr damages 10
employees. known as assumption of risk, contnbutory negligence and
fenowservant doctrine are swept away. Compensation for injuries or
death received at work is assured without regard to fault unless by will
full intent or because of intoxcahon.
Employers, instead, must insure themselves against their newly de-
fined liabilities. They a do this either through a state insurance fund
to be created for the purpose, or through any insurance corporation
authorized to do such a business in the state. n through mutual COM
panies organized among themselves; or any employer may carry
his wi insurance OIL proofs Of ability to do 20 and under guarantees
exacted by the State Workmans Compensation commission already
created and at work. This range Of choices should assure the employer
against paying more than the actual costs as determined by experience.
Compensation o workmen for injury or death is based o n the aver
age weekly wages OF the affected employee. 1t will be Of % per cent
of such wages, paid during the time of disability from injury, which
times for partial permanent disability are specified, as sixty weeks for
the loss of a thumb and sixteen weeks for the loss of a toe; 244 weeks
for the loss OF a hand and EOS weeks for the loss OF a foot. In case
of death leaving dependents, 80 per cent of average wages will be paid
to the widow during widowhood and 10 per Eel additional for eacn
surviving minor child.
The at thus compels these hazardous industries to assum the
risks of the occupation which have hitherto been shouldered upon the
workman. 1t makes of these risks a fixed charge to be borne finally by
the whole related industrial society. 1t relieves the employer of the
old uncertainties of his liability. 1t substitutes for the employee assur-
ed compensation for injuries in place OF the old and costly legal gamble
which commonly made a farce Of his claim to damages. 1t finally pre-
vides a state commission o administer the e system and act as the
legal protector of the employee in his new rights.
Lawyers of the corporation class and lawyers OF the class know as
ambulance chasers' will suffer from the new law. But all others con-
cerned will be relieved of either a great injustice or a hampering indus
trial uncertainty.

LORD ROBERTS DIED SUDDENLY

London, Nov 1.-THE death of
Field Marshal Earl Roberts, which
occurred at the headquarters of the
British expedtiionary forces in France
was extremely sudden. He was in
his usual good health when he left
England last Wednesday with his
daughter, Lady Aileen Roberts, and
his son-in-law, Major Levin. The
party had rough trip crossing the
channel, but the aged general felt no
i'll effects and went through with his
program on the continent. In fact he
was about to return home when his
death occurred.
Earl Roberts had motored to the
British bases and camps, had review
ed the Indian troops, and had con-
ferred with the leading officers. 1t
was not until about dinner time Fri
day evening that he complained of a
slight chill AS. he was subject to
trifiing chest troubles he followed his
usual course and went to bed early.
AS his temperature increased medical
men were called and pronounced his
condition critical. They relieved the
general of his pain and he fell asleep.
His death occurred during sleep.
The passing of the great warrior
has created profound grief throughout
the country At all churches and in
the soldier training camps touching
references were made Sunday to his
death and the death march in Saul
was played.
