The Meaning and Purpose.
Workmen's compensation laws have
been passed to meet conditions created
by modern industry Investigation
has shown that the great majority of
industrial accidents are due to the
inherent risks of business, quite apart
from the negligence of employer or
employee. 1t has also shown that there
and high wages.
Yet under the older system of en-
ployer's liability, ninety-three per cent
OF all the men injured In the course Of
their employment were thrown out of
court on account of common law doc
trines OF contributory negligence, fell
low-servants negligence. and as
sumption of risk. The great burden Of
Industrial accident loss was thus left
to rest upon the persons tn the com
munity least able to bear 1t, and the
result was a vast field of Industrial
waste--waste not only through rov-
erty and restitution. but through fric-
tion engendered between employer and
employe and through the expense and
delays OF litigation.
The workmen's compensation act
abolishes this system and sets up In it's
place definite scale OF moderate med

himself to vote against taking 1t up

~ inJuSies sustained In the course OF
employment, except such injuries as
may be due to wilful misconduct The
act II conceived in spirit OF cohcilia-
ton. The employer surrenders his
common law defenses, the employe
gives up his chance for heavy dam
ages, and both accept the principle
Of reasonable compensation and nxed
liability. Behind all this In the funda-
mental thought that losses due to In
dustrial accidents are legitimate
part Of the costs production, to be
added to the selling price of the COM
modify. and shifted ultimately to the
consumer. In other words. workmen's
compensation emphasizes the social
rather than the Individual point Of
view. and recognizes the fact that a
fair return is due both to the man who
invests his money and to the man who
loses life or limb in the process OF
production.
Advantages.
The compensation system has many
advantages The employe receives re-
lief at the time when 1t In most need
ed, and the amount. though moderate.
is not reduced by legal expenses. The
employer has the satisfaction Of know
ing that the amounts paid by him. or
his insurance carrier, 20 directly to his
injured employe. The older idea Of
damages FOR injury is abandoned
and the removal OF this source of fric-
ton promotes harmony and productive
efficiency. The general public bene-
fits through elimination, in large meas
ure. of the expense OF negligence cases.
and through the reduction in poverty
and restitution.
The Virginia act Is naturally not
perfect instrument Like all other new
laws of its kind. It has defects which
time and experience will remove. But
II affords by far the ~1nost effective
means yet devised In this state to meet
