COMPENSATION
LAW ADOPTED
BY 81 STATES
Legislation to Prevent In.
dustrial Accidents Wide
spread.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Steady prog
ress Of the movement to compensate
for industrial accidents without suits
to prove the negligence Of h employ
er is noted in a bulletin issued by the
bureau of labor statistics, showing
that six new states adopted sompensa-
ton legislation in 1917 and 1913 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
claims" the bulletin says. ~
Fear that such legislation would en-
tail undue burdens on industry was
said largely to have been eliminated
as a result of satisfactory experience
under compensation laws and because
it is becoming better understood that
the laws do not u injury losses but
only distribute the burden of them IN
the industry as a whole, instead Of On
the weakest element of the system
the injured worker. 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 n the increase of the allow
ance of medical and surgical aid. A
notable departure in this connection
is the provision Of the Washington
statute for local funds, supported and
administered by employers and en-
ployes jointly, for the more effective
and equitable administration Of med
ical benefits.
Among important court decisions
or the laws was cited the supreme
court ruling which denied the applica-
ton Of state compensation laws to en-
ployes Of interstate carriers.
The states which have not adopted
the principle of industrial compensa-
ton are North Dakota. Missouri, Ar
kansas. Tennessee. North Carolina,
South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama.
Florida and Georgia.

the date set for launching the first
,''puffed brick" vessel in the govern

gram. 1t is scheduled to drop from
the ways Of the San Francisco Ship
building company on Government

officials of the concern who built the

present progress. that the launching
will take place or time.

tankers began at the plant the first
OF this month: This was made a gala
event under the auspices of the Oak
land Chamber Of Commerce. 1t is ex-
pected that the second vessel will
leave the ways a day or two after the
first launching.
The local yard has introduced sew
eral innovations in concrete ship con.

"puffed brick" This is made like or
binary brick of a peculiar clay con-
tanning a low percentage Of silica
When subjected to intense heat the
bricks puff up like popcorn in a pop

The "puffed brick" then are ground
up and mixed with cement. Thus, in
stead of using crushed fock as in or

40 per cent is said to be gained in the
lightness of the ships walls.
Another feature is the method Of
constructing the forms. These are
hinged with bolts so that they can be
forced up and put out of the way
when the concrete hardens. AS soon

INSURANCE
COMPANIES
WOULD MAKE
FIRE FUNDS
House Bill 80 Compels Com
panies to Share Risk Dur
ing Creation of Fund.
lstafr -Correspondent)

Bismarck, N. D.. Feb. 15.-That the
state will be dependent on the stock
fire insurance companies to
the proposed state fire fund until such
time as a surplus can be built up 9
been frankly admitted by Attorney r..
A. Paddock, Of the Nonpartisan league
legislative bureau.
Mr.. Paddock went further and
openly stated before the senate insure
nce committee that House Bill 80
was designed to force h stock COM
panies to share the risk during the
period of danger, or else lose the
right to do.any business In North Da-
kota at all.
His argument was made before the
senate insurance committee when de-
tending House Bill 90. He opened the
debate by stating that 1t was the In
tention Of the state to insure its "
buildings, including the proposed
terminal elevator, -four mill. and
packing plant, and to compel counties
rance in this fund. School districts,
he said, would be compelled to do
likewise, except the rural schools, with
whom insurance in the proposed state
fund will be optional.
He pointed out that the Wisconsin
state fire fund. had failed, because Of
the fact that the state capitol burned
before any surplus had been created.
Should he fire insurance companies
decline to take part Of the risk when
North Dakota launches its similar
fund. or decline to reinsure the risk,
it would be in their power to render
the state fire fund i~nsolvent," said
Mr.. Paddock, Should a fire occur be-
fore q surplus had been created. I'm
der this bill, the fire insurance COM
panies can not refuse to write such
risks, If they are writing them in other
states, except under penalty of having
their license revoked" /.
Frankly stated. his position was
hat fire insurance companies were to
be compelled to share with the state
the fire risks until such time as the
state had accumulated a sufficient
surplus to permit it to take over all
the business, at which time the prf-
vate insurance companies would be
cut off from all this class of business.
Harry Curran Wilbur, of Fargo,
pointed out that the fire loss ratio In
North Dakota for the past five years
had been 1913 per cent; that the over
head expense including taxes and fees.
had been 40 per cent; and that this
left the companies, at best, a net
profit Of only seven-tenths of one pei
cent.
He asked the committee to bear In
mind that the burden placed on the
companies by this legislature was
