WORKNIENS COMPENSATION IN THE
UNITEDSTATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES
u S. Department Labor Issues Bulletin Containing
Data Which Shows Wide Variance of Compensation
and Many States Including Colorado, Which
Have Inadequate Provisions

In the rapid spread of workmen's
compensation legislation in this coun-
try the fact is often overlooked that
many of the laws adopted are far less
comprehensive than their mere titles
would indicate. Because thirty-five
states and territories, with some 70
per cent of the employed population.
have adopted such laws il is frequent
ly assumed that n similar proportion
Of the wage workers of the country
are now fully and properly insured
against the loss and suffering of in
dustrial accidents. That this is not
true is emphasized in Bulletin No.
203 of the bureau of labor statistics of
the United States department of la
Dor, entitled "Workmen's Compensa-
ton in the United States and For
eign Countries"
The Bulletin presents detailed
comparison of the principal features
of the various state compensation
laws. The comparison brings out most
striking differences, particularly as
regards the proportion of workers
covered and the scale of compensation
benefits. No state compensation act
covers all employees. In the first place
most of the acts are elective. Employ
crs who do not accept are penalized,
but in spite of this there are always
number who refuse to elect. In the
second place, all of the acts purposely
exclude certain classes of employees.
Thus, agricultural workers, domestic
servants and casual employees are al
most everywhere excluded Also
there is an important group of acts
which apply only to list of employ
mcnts declared to be especially haZ-
ardous. altho in practice they may
be more hazardous than others not in
cluded. Again, considerable number
of acts apply only to employers having
more than n certain number of en-
ployes. the minimum being in one case
, ms high as eleven.
Benefits Are Restricted.
The result of these limitations and
exclusions is to restrict the benefits
of compensation very often to only n
rather small fraction of the total num-
bcr of workers. The Bulletin makes
rough estimate of the proportion
covered in each state, the estimate
being based on the liberal assumption
that election has been made by all
employers affected in states having
election laws. In only two instances,
New Jersey and Hawaii, do the acts
include at best as many as 90 per cent
of the total workers, and only seven
states cover 80 per cent or over. One

CONVENTION DATE
REFERENDUM VOTE BEING Ia
KEN BY STATE FEDERATION.
Boulder Meeting TO Be Scheduled for
August 8 in Order TO Not Conflict
With |. T. L. at Springs.

An official letter was issued this
week by President John McLennan and
Secretary Ed. Anderson of the Colo
RADIO State Federation of Labor. call
ing for a referendum vote of all affil-
lated organizations upon changing the
date of the annual convention to be
held this year in Boulder.
The question submitted IS: Shall
the twenty-second annual convention
of the Colorado State Federation of
Labor be changed from August Is,
1917 to August 6, 1912"
The Federation constitution pro-
vides that the annual convention shall
be held on the second Monday in Aug
ust in such city as may be designated
by the preceding convention. In view
of the fact that the annual convention
of the International Typographical
Union will be held in Colorado Springs
on the same date, which will CONNIE
morate the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the founding of the Union Printers
Home, a large number of unions petit
toned the Federation officers to move
the convention date up one week in
order not to conflict with the interna-
tional convention of printers at Colo
RADIO Springs. Hundreds of union la
Dor men in the printing trades and
others are desirous of attending the
Colorado Springs convention.
There is little doubt that the refer
endum vote will authorize the State
Federation officers to change the meet
ing date. All of the organizations in
Boulder and Colorado Springs are de-
sirous that this be done. Unions vot-
ing on the proposition should make
returns to the Federation office in
Denver on or before the first of May.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-03-24

covers less than 20 per cent and nine
less than so per cent.
Similarly striking are the differ
ences between the several acts as re-
CARDS the benefits paid in case of in
jury. A few extreme instances may
be cited. Thus. in the case of fatal
injury occurring in the state of Ore
gon the widow and children may re-
ceive in total as much as Sl3.lS0.
whereas in Vermont the maximum
would be $3.50, and under the Okla
homa act no benefits at all are paid in
case of death. For loss of a hand the
Alaska act may pay as much as 50 GAO,
while the maximum for the same in
jury in Colorado is but $3.50. Again,
in Oregon and Porto Rico cash benefits
are paid for injuries of no matter how
brief duration, whereas in Colorado
no cash benefits are paid for disabili-
ties of less than three weeks. Further,
Washington and Wyoming, at one eN-
treme, make no provision for medical
service, this expense falling entirely
on the worker, whereas. at the other
extreme, several states, as Connecti-
cutt, Massachusetts and California,
may pay for all necessary medical and
hospital service, without limit as to
time or amount
Trend Is to Better Laws.
The words accident" and injury
have different meanings in different
places. Generally speaking, the prac-
tice has been to limit compensation to
accidental injuries in the strict sense.
There is n tendency, however, to broad
en- the term so as to take in the more
subtle injury of occupational disease,
such as lead poisoning, wood alcohol
blindness and anthrax. Massachusetts
is the only state in which this has been
regularly done and approved. of by
both the administering board and the
courts But the California act was
recently, amended so as to include oc-
cupational diseases and in certain 9TH
! er states the commissions have so in
terprcted the law only to be over
ruled by the courts.
1t appears. therefore, that practical
ly all of the state compensation acts
now in force need cnlarging and lib
cralizing before they can be regarded
as furnishing adequate protection to
the whole body of wage earners. This,
the bulletin points out. has been gen.
cral tendency of recent amendments.
In no case has compensation system
once introduced been repealed. But
in number of instances inferior acts
have been superseded by better ones
and in all cases where the courts have
held particular acts unconstitutional
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-03-24

the states affected have proceeded to
enact new laws that would meet the
necessary legal tests and, if no other
way offered. the constitutions have
been amended.
South Especially Backward.
At the beginning Of 1917 there were
thirty-five compensation laws in effect
in the United States, including those
of Hawaii. Alaska and Porto Rico. but
not including the new federal act of
1916, which was not yet in operation.
due to delay in the appointment and
confirmation of the commission. OF
he seventeen non-compensation states,
ten are in single Eroup of southern
and south central states-Nirginia
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi.
Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri.
The other seven are the two Dakotas ;
the three mountain states of Idaho,
Utah and New Mexico; Delaware and
the District of Columbia. In several
of these, investigating commissions
are now at work and in some it is
probable that compensation acts will
be adopted at the current sessions of
their legislatures.
In addition to reproducing in full
the text of the American laws now in
force. the bulletin summarizes the inn
portant features of the laws of for
cign countries. IL also presents n
comprehensive analysis of the decis-
ions of the courts and of the various
administrative commissions.
