those who are working in support Of

The organization is now at work
upon drafts of proposals which Will

Increased Contributions
To Compensation Fund by
Labor Not Contemplated

No increase in contributions made
to the workmen's compensation fund
by employers and employees Is con-
templated by the state industrial ac-
cident commission in its plans for an
increase in the rate of compensation
to injured workmen and their depend
ents. but rather an amendment per-
mitting the use of all moneys in the
fund for compensation purposes and
eliminating the present provision for
a rebate OF the surplus remaining at
the end of each fiscal year to the en-
ployers will be advocated as the REM
edy for the situation when the legis-
lature convenes in special session
next month. The use of this surplus
as compensation would, II Is declar-
ed by members of the commission.
provide for a very material increase
in the present rate of compensation
and would go far toward relieving the
critical situation which now exists.
Balance is Big
The contributions to the state in
dustrial accident fund from employ
ers and workmen coming under the
protection of the law. averaged dur
ing the last four months, s273,26o per
month, while the average monthly dis
bursements of the commission for the
same period amounted to $193.o76
per month. This leaves an average
monthly surplus for this period of
ss0,1S4, which is approximately IL
per cent of the income" reads a
statement prepared by the commits
sion today.
IF the rates of compensation bene-
fits are increased by the legislature
at the special session to be held next
month, it Is not considered necessary
to increase the rates of contribution
by the employers and the workmen
AT the close of the fiscal year, on
June 80. 1919. the commission had on
hand a net surplus of $24l.S12.6S. /
This surplus remained after the COM I
mission had set aside 100000 rs n
