Des Moines. April 15.-When the
Iowa workmen's compensation law
goes into full force and effect July l
next Iowa employers will be ready for
1t as In no other state have they been
ready when the law becomes compul-
sorry. The employers will be In posi-
ton Of carry their own liability and
be- Independent Of the casualty and
bonding companies, now will each one
have to supply bond sufficient for
himself.
This is the outgrowth Of work done
by the officials of the Iowa State Man
ufacturers Association, in conjunction
with the representatives of number
Of other similar organizations inter-
ested in the subject. 1t will be recalled
that the manufacturers formed several
years ago an association to carry their
own risks, Of mutual character. It
has been quite successful, and other
organizations were getting ready to
form similar mutual associations. But
it has finally been decided to lump
them all into one 30 that all persons
and employers coming under the Iowa
workmen's compensation act will be
In one company. This is the nearest
approach possible now to a state instr-
ance fund like that in many Of the
states.
Hazard Less in lows.
Secretary Wrightman, of the manu-
facturers' association, today announced
that all arrangements have now been
perfected for this consolidation of the
issues for the employers of the state.
The big bonding companies have
signed up contracts to carry the
calamity risk involved, and the en-
ployers Of the state will only carry
that which is proper as pertaining to
their respective industries. There will
be graded scale for the payments.
according to the risk Of the industry.
etc.
One fact will be taken advantage of
and that is that the hazard in Iowa is.
much less than in many Of the east
ern states and as this is confined to
Iowa the rates. will therefore be very
low. Officials will serve without Coal
pensation.
1t is estimated that the saving to be
effected by the Iowa people carrying
their own risks in this way will be not
less than million dollars year. If
all who will have to carry insurance
in some form under the Iowa law were
to take advantage Of It the saving
would be three times as large. The
mutual plan IL found to effect a saw
ing of about half in the cost. so 1t Is
declared. The important feature of the
present situation is that in Iowa, bet
ter. than in any other state, the en-
ployers OF labor are going to be ready
when the law goes into effect to do
business under It without asking de-
lays on the part of the state officials.
