TO INSURE WoRKMEN
AGAINST SICKNESS
-e"s"1:s.' e~e-e*e:p~s.e=t::

The gist of the health insurance
pills INTRODUCED in the state legislat-
ures OF New York, Massachusetts, and
New Jersey by the American Asso-
cation for Labor Legislation make
health insurance universal for all
manual workers and for others earn
ing less than $10O month because,
advocates OF the plan DECLARE, expert
ence elsewhere has shown that vol
untary insurance will. not reach the
persons who most need its protection
and that insurance must be ob1iga-
! tory If it is to render the large social
service Of which it is capable.
The benefits to be provided are
medleal, surgical and nursing at
tendance, including necessary hos
pltal care, medicines and supplies; a
cash benefit, beginning on the fourth
day of Illness, equal to tWo-thirds of
wages and given for a maximum of
rs weeks is one year, and a funeral
benefit of not more than $50. The
cost of these benefits and their ad-
ministration, amounting to about 3
per cent of wages, is to be borne two
1ltths by the employee, tWO-fifths by
the employer, and one-fifth by the
state.
The employe is asked to contribute
because he is to some degree respons-
IDLE for his own i'll health and be-
cause he receives the benefits. The
contribution Of the employer is JUS
titled on the ground that illness is,
to a considerable extent, occupatienal
in origin. The states share in the
joint contribution is ju,tified by the
present cost of sickness to the state
and by its recognized responsibility
for community action to prevent i'll
health.
It is believed that this distribution
of the cost will lead to cooperative
action in "health first'' campaigns.
The administration is to be vested in
mutual associations of employers and
employees organized according to To-
callties and trades, and managed
Jointly by employers and workers
under the general supervision of a
state social insurance commission.

THE INCREASE OF IMMIGRATION

immigration in March reached a total of $4,000
which is considerable increase oyer the arrivals in

The number arriving in March may be explained from
