Labor Gains In New Laws
 Just Passed
Many States Improve Compensation a n d HI e a l t h Regulation For Workers.

New York, Sept g. S-Substantial gains made by labor in 1923 in the field of protective labor laws include the improvement of accident compen- sation laws in majority of the in- dustrial states, all in the direction of greater iberality to injured workers and their dependents, according to a statement issued here by the Amer ican Association for Labor Legisla- tion

Thirty-seven American accident compensation laws have waiting period shorter than that in New York.
 "The appalling series of coal mine disasters since Labor Day year ago." MT. Chadbourne continues, "has the immediate need of safety measures to pre- vent dust explosions.
