Health Insurance
A Subject Which Is Being Given
rlore And More Consideration
By Union Labor. Ohio Commits
sion Studying Subject.
OUTLINE OF PLAN PROPOSED IN TENTATIVE BILLS
IN OTHER CITIES.

Ten State Federations of La
Dor, outside of Ohio, have
adopted resolutions in favor of
workmen's health insurance on
on the universal qlan. In Ohio
health insurance has been en-
dorsed by labor. In addition to
the State Federation of ten
states, eleven international or
ganizations of labor have de-
clared themselves in favor of
health insurance.
AS the New Jersey Federation
of Labor went on record in 1916,
in favor of health insurance, the
latest declaration of the New
Jersey Joint State Labor Legis-
lative Board concerns the poll
cies to be embodied in the law.
The utterance of labor follows
closely upon the action of the
New Jersey Commission, which
reported in favor of universal
workmen's health insurance as
a war measure, and it is now
preparing a draft of a bill on the
subject. The Labor Legisla-
tive Board recommends THAT
in any legislation that is propos-
ed the most careful considera-
ton be given to the rights of
workers to adequate medical
care with free choice of physici-
an; that the cash benefit be
fixed at two-thirds of wages,
in proportion to wages received
up to $1,000 per week, but shall
not be less than $500 weekly i:
that all workers be included in
the system without physical ex-
animation: and that there be
provided equal representation
and equal contributions by en-
ployes and employers in mutual
ly managed insurance funds to
be conducted without profit un-
der the supervision of the state
Department of Labor and with
emphasis on sickness preven-
ton"
The other declaration is from
the New York State Federation
of Labor at a conference in
Albany, on January 9Th. 1t
adopted a platform of principles
in the form of an important
legislative programe in which
one plank read as follows: 'The
establishment of state admins
tered health insurance and the
creation of bureau of sickness

prevention ana H0dIIn promo
tion within the state depart
ment of labor" ;" The delegates
requested the Committee to
complete the draft of bill
which will be submitted to del
egate convention to be held on
February 9Th.
Inasmuch as the Ohio Health
and old age Insurance Commits
sion is conducting a study of
this bill, an outline of it will be
of great interest to the union
labor men of Ohio and to others
who will be effected by legisla-
tion of this character. The law
is to be administered under the
New York Industrial Commits
sion, and TO workers under con-
tract of hire with only a few
eXceptions) and regardless of
the Federation recommends
the amount of their earnings
are to be insured without physi-
cal examination in case of sick
ness which is not covered by
workmen's compensation. 1t
may be well to note here that
that occupational diseases be
placed in the scope of the work
mems compensation act, so that
the cost of such sickness inca
pacity may be carried by the in
dustry as are industrial
accidents.
There is a provision in the
measure for continuance of in
surance for persons within one

they would otherwise cease to
be insured. Medical benefits
are to begin with the date of
illness and to include medical,
surgical and dental care, nurs-
ing attendance and medical and
surgical supplies for the insured
workers and the dependent
members of their families. Free
choice of physicians is provided
through a list or panel upon
which any legal qualified physi-
clan may place his name.
The waiting period during
which no cash benefit is paid
is three days: the minimum be-
nefit is $500 a week and the
maximum benefit is $500 a
week. The proposed bill pro-
vides for payment of two-thirds
of weekly wage not to exceed So
a week. No one is to be paid

One thing about the mild weather
we had for a few days, it gave the
plumbers and horse-shoers chance to
gather up the hay they cut during
those below zero days we enjoyed CD

fellows.

War.
LOOK

The war has created a tremendous
upset In the labor world. 1t is bring
ing forward serious and complicated
problems. Something must be done,
for example, to keep the new unframed
workers from being ruthlessly ex-
plotted, women mainly. And after the
war the problems viii grow even more
difficult, with the returning hordes OF
men striving to get back into industry
and with abnormal conditions settling
down to normal. Already, even while
associations are striving TO cope with
the present situation, they are looking
into the future and preparing to help.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1918-02-22

for more than twenty-six weeks
of disability in any one year,
and not more than twenty-six
weeks on account of the same
case of disability. Special ma
ternity benefits is provided for
wives of insured Workmen and
for insured women. The lat
ter receive in addition a special
cash benefit, equal to sick bene-
fit and payable for eight weeks.
There is also a burial benefit of
800, as under the New York
Workmen's Compensation Act.
During unemployment not due
to sickness, the right to become
eligible for benefits continue in
force one week for each four
weeks of paid-up membership
during the preceding year.
In computing the contribu-
tions of employees, the levy is
made on wages up to $1,000 a
week. The employers share of
the contribution for low-paid
wage earners increases pro rata
with the decrease in earnings
below $500 week. In addition
the employer who tolerates in
sanitary conditions is penalized
and must pay all of premium
where wages is less than $500
a week. There is also provi-
sions whereby an establishment
which has a sickness hazard in
excess of that normally prevail
| ing in the industry, may be fore
ed to pay an increased rate.
The state is to pay the cost of
supervision, as has beenn re-
commended by the New Jersey
Commission.
1t is provided that the admin
istration shall be through estab-
llihment funds in which the
management is shared equally
by Workmen and employers
with one representative of the
public on each side.
The proposed health insurance
act will cover all sickness of
wage earners and their depen-
dents, no matter where or how
contracted. The cost will be
low, in no case exceeding tWen-
| ty-four cents a week for an en-
ploye. Another feature of the
proposed law is that if an en-
ploye's union has sick benefit,
he can also draw it in addition
TO the Dement'S provided IN the
law. Benefits from fraternal
organizations also are included,
and no count is taken of that
in administering the proposed
law.
The result Of the conference
in New York will be watched
with keen interest here, as ac-
tion by the New York General
Assembly probably would exert
no slight influence on the deci-
sion of the Commission which
is conducting a study of this
subject here in Ohio.

Stated in concrete terms, the union
label is powerful because it accom-
plishes by peaceful means, with alb
solute certainty and at little cost, that
which the strike and boycott seek to
accomplish, always at great cost and
sacrifice.

wonderful patience.

to make sacrifices, but they must be
sacrifices for the republic and not foR
private profit.

! London, May 81 CBy mail)-Dun-
kirk, "The City of Dreadful Night,
it is pointed out by correspondent
of the Daily Mail, has been mentioned
perhaps more often in French com
muniques during this war than any
other city. There are weeks when il
is rare for communique not to con-
clude with the words, ENEMY air
planes dropped bombs on Dunkirk
during the night" or ga long range
gun has fired into Dunkirk."
That seaport, the nearest of all to
the firing line, is now scarcely less
dear to the hearts of the French peo-
pie than Verdun, and, like Verdun, it
has been decorated for its courage
under fire. Recently Frances biggest
ship was launched there.
The amazing thing about Dunkirk,
the writer concludese, is that it is
still city It's inhabitants, re fusing
to leave, have carried on its normal
life with indomitable courage. Tram
way cars run as usual along It's cob
bled streets and well stocked shops
are open every day. Weekly in the
main square, market is held and the
countless stalls are well patron 1ed by
shrewd housewives.
The frequent bombardments from
sea, land and air are not laughed at.
although they are taken as a matter
of course. Redwoors, instead of be-
ing on the upper floors of the houses,
are now in the cells, and public dug
outs dot the town as do the air raid
shelters of London.
Scarcely house or wall in the town
remains without its record of the en-
emys continued efforts to destroy
