j. S. COMPENSATION BILL
TO PASS THIS SESSION
President and Senate Democratic
Caucus Behind Measure-Kern
Plan Most Favored.

The President and the democratic
caucus of the Senate have decreed that
federal workmans compensation
law for employees of the United
States government shall be enacted
at the present session of Congress
This law is intended to place the
similar statutes now on the books
which are said to be entirely made
quate.
The ern-McGillcuddy bill, which has
the backing of the American Associ-
alton for Labor Legislation, is regarded
the administration measure cover
ing this matter. 1t has already passed
the House. and it is expected that with
in the next few days the bill will be
reported favorably from the Senate
committee on education and labor to
the Senate. for Senator Hoke Smith,
chairman of that committee, and a
majority of the other members have
declared themselves in favor of it.
Incidentally. the Sutherland bill. for
workmen's compensation to govern
meut employees in case of injury or
death. has already been reported favor
ably to the Senate from the Senate
y
ate calendar. The friends of this legis-
lation. however insist that the Kern
McGiilicuddy bill is more accurate.
The Kern -McGillicuddy bill provides.
in case of permanent disability of a gov
eminent employe, that he or she shall
receive 662s per cent of his or her salary
during the remainder of life. During
temporary disability the employe also
will receive 66ea per cent. In the case
of permanent partial disa bilty the COM
pensation shall be 662s per cent of the
loss in earning capacity. and the same
in temporary partial disability. In the
case of the death of the employe. the
widow and dependents of the employe,
according to their number, shall re-
ceive from 20 per cent to 662s per cent
of his salary until the widow dies or
remarries and until the children are
sixteen years old.
Adequate provisions for medical at
tendance upon injured employees also
are contained in the bill 1t is AZ meas
ure of very great Importance, for in
stance, to the employees of the govern
ment arSenals and navy yards. where in
juries to employees are not infrequent.
