INJURY CLAIMS
WITHOUT SUITS

Washington, Feb 14,-Steady pro-
gress of til emovement to compensate
for industrial accidents without suits
to prove the negligence of the employ
er is noted in bulletin issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing
that six new states adopted conpen-
sation legislation in 1917 and 1918 and
that only ten states of the union have
not accepted the principle
"The day seems not far distant
when the obsolete system of damage
suits and charges and counter charg
es of negligence and contributory neg
ligence will no longer be used in the
disposition of industrial injury claims
the bulletin says.
Fear that such legislation would
entail undue burdens on industry was
said largely to have been eliminated
as result of satisfactory experien-
ce under compensation laws and
because it is becoming better under
stood that the laws do not cause in
jury losses but only distribute the
burden Of them on the industry as a
whole instead of on the weakest ele-
pent of the systematic injury work
er. This realization has opened the
way for amendments liberalizing the
awards allowed.
Advances noted in the bulletin are
the shortening of the waiting time,
for which as a rule no compensation
is allowed and the increase of the
allowance of medical and surgical aid
A notable departure in this connec-
ton is the provision of the Washing
ton statute for local funds, support
ed and administered my employers
and employees jointly, for the more eff
fective and equitable administers
lion of medical benefits.
Among import court decisions on
the laws was cited the Supreme
Court ruling which denied the appli-
cation of state compensation laws to
employees of interstate carriers.
The states which have not adopted
the principle of Industrial compensa-
ton are North Dakota, Missouri,
Arkansas, Tennessee, North Caroline,
South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama,
Florida and Georgia.
