CALIFORNIA FUND
FOR COMPENSATION
MAKES STRIKING GAINS

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S.-De-
spite severe competition by private
casualty companies, the California
state insurance fund for workmen $
compensation has made conspicu-
GUS gains during the past year, ac-
cording to the annual report just
issued by the State Industrial Ac-
cident Commission.
The state fund shows an increase
of about so per cent over the bust
ness of 1917. 1t then wrote "a per
cent of California's total compensa-
tion business, or $1,3O0,OO0 in pre-
MUM income, while the estimated
premium income for 1918 is 81
100000.
The expense ratio of the state
fund, exclusive of the > per cent
tax, has been reduced from Is per
cent in 1915 to 10 per cent in 1918,
and to date a total of S57S.0OO has
been refunded to policy holders in
dividends. The average expense ra-
ito of commercial companies
throughout the United States is 40
per cent
This showing is stimulating the
demand, voiced by Organized La
Dor in is states, for the complete
exclusion of private companies from
the field of workmens compensa-
tion business. Recent experience in
states having exclusive state funds
for 8rkmen's insurance. notably
in Ohio, it is being pointed out, has
proved that millions of dollars are
saved each year in industry and
that more liberal benefits are made
possible for injured workers and
their families when private profits
are forbidden in casualty iusur-
ance.

Engineer
Cost of Living Jumps
70 Per Cent During War

BOSTON, Jan. 1S.-The Ma
tional Industrial Conference
Board, representing II manu-
factuTers' associations, reports
that living costs for wage earn
ers have increased 65 to 20 per
cent between July, 1914, and No
vember, 1918.
This is remarkable jump
from last year when the board
placed the increase at so to so
per cent
Using the 20 per cent increase
as a basis, it would mean that a
worker receiving SO a day in
1914 would now have to be paid
a wage of $50 day to meet
the figures Of these employers.
o cannot be charged with max
ing exaggerated statements re-
garding living costs for their
workers
The Conference Board quotes
the United States Bureau OF La
Dor statistics, which has shown
that during the five-year period
from November, 1918, to Novem-
Der, 1918, the price of lard. ba-
con, corn meal, flour, sugar and
pork chops advanced 100 ner
cent or more. No article of food
for which prices were collected
showed an increase of less than
so per cent for the five-year ner-
iod
