Employees Compensation
(By Staff Correspondent

Tenneson's bill provides for weekly
compensation, beginning on the
fifteenth day following the injury, ana
to be paid at the rate Of so per cent
of the average weekly wage during
the period of disability. For perman-
ent total disability, 400 weeks COM
pensation, or an amount not to exceed
81. 900, is provided. For death due
to occupational injury an equal
amount is designated. In every case
the compensation is paid by the en-
ployer or the insurance company
which carries his risk. and the en-
ploye is not required or allowed to
contribute one penny to the expense OF
providing or carrying such compensa-
ton. Specific amounts are PROVIDED
for the loss of an eye, leg, arm, hand
foot, digit of any number Of the same.
The administration OF the act is
placed in the hands Of workmen's
compensation bureau to be establish
ed under the department Of agricul-
ture and labor. and for the expenses
of this bureau the bill appropriates
the munificentg sum Of $4,000.
The purpose of the compensation
act is to remove any necessity upon
the part of an injured employe to go
to court to recover damages, providing
his injury was sustained in the course
of his usual occupation. Medical and
hospital attention are provided free in
all cases during the thirty days first
following.
