workmen's Compensation in New Jersey

Three Years Under the New Jersey Work
mems Compensation Law" is the title of the re-
port of an investigation under the direction
Of the social insurance committee of the Ameri-
can Association for Labor Legislation just made
public In printed form, which suggests how the
various workmen's compensation laws enacted
by different states must eventually be scrutnized
and perfected in the light of actual experience.
The committee calls attention TO the fact that
several types OF compensation acts are now in
operation, referred to the Massachusetts
model" the Michigan plan" the "ohio and
Washington systems" with notifications in
other states, and that the desire for uniformity
must be promoted by applying tests of proper
standards to them from time to time. In this
particular instance, New Jersey was selected as
being the first state to permanently put In effect
a compensation system, the New Jersey law dat
ing from July. 1911. and making available the
record OF three years experience. As the result
of their investigation the committee declares
that, although compensation In New Jersey
marked great advance beyond the descredited
liability system, there have been none-the-less
many occurrences to be roundly condemned, the
main faults being traced to the lack OF an adj
ministratiye board, the absence OF insurance re-
Qurements and a too low scale OF compensation.
However. 1T is a pleasure to note that New Jer-
sey officials have during the last month recon-
mended to the legislature important amendments
to bring the law up to the suggested standards.
To what extent the Nebraska compensation
law contains the same shortcomings as the New
Jersey law, We are not prepared to say, but
plainly the same method Of getting the facts and
finding the holes TO be plugged, to make the law
still better than It is. must be followed here II
We are to achieve any substantial progress. To
let those who oppose the compensation system
altogether chop our law TO pieces haphazard be-
fore any one knows in what parts It is working
well or poorly, would be the height of folly. And
above all, whatever changes are made when the
time comes for changes. should be in the d.
reetion Of uniformity with other states that have
adopted the same type of compensation Law.

"Go-ahead country" just fancy!
Then the critic goes on to say:
Mr.. Willis Sweatman, a comedian OF
high repute in New York, has crossed
the Atlantic to play his original charac-
ter of the train attendant, or porter
colored gentleman of much drollery.'
Other Broadway successes now play
