WORKMEN'S COMPENSA.
TION ACT

The Industrial Commission of Wis
conSin has issued a circular stating
that if you are either an employee or
an employer in any line Of work other
than farming, it is probable that YOU
are subject to the workmen's compen-
sation act. 1t is, consequently, of
great Importance that you should fully
understand your rights and duties un-
der this law. Employers in all lines
other than farming, are subject to the
compensation act if they have en-
ployed three or more persons in con-
nect1on with their business on any
day since September 1, 1917. 1t makes
no difference if you now have only
one or two employees, you are never
theless under the compensation law
II on some day since September /. 1917
you employed as many as three per-
sons. Farmers are not under the COM
pensatlon law, as far as strictly farm
ing operations are concerned, unless
they have written the Industrial Com
mission that they wish to come under
this law. Farmers who own threshing
rigs or silo filling outfits and who do
work for their neighbors or who do
-OSSAiAS UAiNOI COnlldCL, however, are
subject to the compensation act if
they have employed three men in such
operations on any one day since Sep
tember l, 1917. All employers who
are under the compensation law. in
cluding threshermen, must insure
their risk under a penalty of $12 per
dey while not insured, unless they
have been exempted from doing so by
an order in writing of the Commission.
Only large employers can afford to
carry their own risk. You would not
think Of carrying your own fire risk
and the cost of accidents annually is
greater than the entire fire loss. Don't
figure that because you have never
had an accident, you will never have
one. Serious accidents are apt to oc-
cur in any line, and if one Of your
employees should be permanently to-
tally disabled it might cost you in
excess of $4,000.
There is no state system of COM
pensation insurance. Employers NAV
insure with any company licensed to
write compensation insurance in this
state

charges, first degree murder and
second degree manslaughter.

troll after the event and for making
no effort to take the law into their
own hands.

STOP HOME FIRES

The State Industrial Commission
sends out a bulletin that all be ex-
tremely cautious about fires. 1t cites
the fact that war conditions and the
high prices of building materials have
greatly retarded building operations !;
the population has increased steadily
and the shortage of dwellings be-
comes more marked each month.
OF the 2,849 fires reported last year
in Wisconsin, 1895 were in dwellings
and 112 in flats, hotels and rooming
houses, SO per cent of all the fires in
places of residence.
Most of these fires were due to some
form of carelessness. The common
causes of fires are simple and all can
understand and correct them.
Attend to the defective stove, fur
mace or boiler, protect all woodwork
near them, repair or replace the rusty
smokepipe and protect nearby wood
work, inspect your chimneys frequent
ly and see that they are in good con-
dition, cleaned out regularly and not
IN contact with any woodwork, repair
that poor shingle roof or replace
shingles with incombustible roof COW
ering, be careful in managing the
heating and lighting apparatus and
the f1atiron and other electric devices
and in the use, storage and disposal
of matches, kerosene, gasoline, oils,
paints, oily waste, ashes and rubbish
This property loss is inexcusable,
but there is still sadder story to tell.
In 1919 we learned of 73 deaths and
147 accidents through fires in Wiscon-
sin. Most of these unfortunates met
their death in burning homes. Less
than a month ago, at Delavan, a fam
lily of five was wiped out by such
fire.
Thirteen died by reason of using
kerosene to start and quicken flames;
children playing with matches and
bonfires cost nine young lives.
Many Of these fires are at night and
the occupants are often overcome by
smoke before the fire is discovered.
