HEALTH INSURANCE
: : NEXT REFORM STEP
DR.. John B. Andrews Says
, Many Labor Organizations
.. $, Are Following Plan.

f SALTWATER, Mimi, Sept 2S.-
'Following workmen's compensation,
[+Workmen's health insurance is the
next great step in social legislation"
|;declared DR.. John B. Andrews, secre-
Ftary of the American Association for
b Labor Legislation, speaking here re-
Ecently before the 25th Minnesota Con-
|tference of Charities and Correction.
/ "A number of. powerful labor organ
Fiizations, including the International
Typographical union, the International
rSteam Engineers, and several fedora
tons, have adopted resolutions in ia
EvoF of the plan, and many others are
eagerly studying it. Carefully drawn
bills were for the first time in Amer
lea introduced in three state legisla-
lures this year and in 1917 they will
come up for consideration in at least
20 states, including innesoMta."
Workmen's compensation has now
been adopted by IS states and territor-
les, and a splendid scientific law
drafted by the Association for Labor
Legislation to cover the federal gov
ernment's half-million civil employees
has just been passed by congress. In
IlIAo pAOSIcSS LH0 speaker
paid a glowing tribute to the pioneer
work of William E. McEwen, the la
Dor member on the Minnesota legis-
latlVe investigating commission in
1909 and 1910, and later commissioner
OF labor for the state.
The same wastefulness which Mr..
McEwen disclosed in employers lila
bility insurance, can be expected to
crop up, DR.. Andrews states, if the
new health insurance program is al
lowed to fall into tho hands Of COM
mercial insurance companies. Last
year working men and women, in
New York state alone, paid to four in
surance companies operated for profit
more than $29,0O0,0O0 for Industrial
insurance which practically amounted
to mere burial benefits.
Under the plan of universal health
insurance embodied in the proposed
bills, these working people would have
received, without any greater expense
TO thm, not only burial insurance. but
also medical, nursing, and hospital
care and medicines and appliances.
and in addition to all that, two-thirds
of wages during sickness up to a max
mum OF rs weeks in each year.
