SOCIAL INSURANCE AS IT IS VIEWED
 FROM ALL SIDES

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-A most ally all phases of social insurance. including workmens compensation, sickness (health) benefits and in iurance, invalidity and old age in ,urance, pensions, and retirement al owances and mothers pensions, and unemployment and savings bank in iurance, appears in Bulletin PIP just ssued by the Bureau of Labor Sta
 istics of the U. s. Department of Labor, which gives in full the pro .eedings of the conference on so :ial insurance held in the city of Washington. December to g, 1916.
 This conference was in pursuance If resolution adopted by the in iernational association of industrial accident boards and commissions at It's meeting in April 1916. following which a committee on social insur ince was appointed, with Dr. Royal Meeker, United States Commission ,r of Labor Statistics, as chairman.
 The purpose of the conference was Q afford an opportunity for free and ample discussion by those famil- ar with the various phases of social insurance. in order to define clearly md state definitely for the informa- .ion of legislators and administrators Ill the problems connected with se curing adequate protection to work CTS against the hazards of accidents, sickness, invalidity, old age. and un- employment. It was not the inten- sion to advocate particular policies or methods for attaining the desired ends.
 Two days were devoted to a dis cussion of workmen's compensation. Papers on the merits and demerits of the different forms of administra- tion are confined largely to a state ment of particular systems, while those relating to the different meth ods of carrying workmen's compen- sation developed a number of con flicting opinions, a discussion of which, it is hoped. will result in a selection of the method best adapt ed to conditions in the several states.
 The bulletin also contains papers treating the subjects of compensa- tiOn schedules of awards, lump sum settlements. and the principles of rate making. in which the compara- tive advantage of schedule rating
