TO COLLECT PENALTY
OF DELINQUENTS

All employers of labor, not eX-
empt under the provisions of the
law who have not complied with
its provisions, will be required to
pay the full penalties provided by
the wOrkmen's compensation act
from and after March /, accord
ing to a ruling announced today
by State Insurance Manager c.. O.
Broxon, unless they shall VOlun-
tarily arrange with that depart
ment for compliance with the
law.
This ruling has become neces-
.sary," stated the state insurance
manager, because of the refusal
of the state industrial board to
give this department an oppor-
tunity to enforce the law against
delinquents without expense to
those who have already complied
with the law, by taking insurance
in the state fund. The board was
asked for relief in this respect so
that those who have been negli-
gent or who have not as yet been
advised if their duty under the
law, might be induced to comply
without those penalties being ap-
piled, but the board by a. vote Of
3 to /. refused to grant the relief
requested and it therefore be-
comes necessary to impose the
penalties.
"I regret the necessity for this
action very much, but while en-
forcing the law, it is also neces-
sary for me to protect those who
have insured in the state fund
I appeared before the board and
