 juries must have been received In the course of the employment and must have arisen out of the employ ment, although six states do not con tain the arising out of" clause. In these states presumably every in- iurv which occurs in the course of the employment, with certain excep- ton. are compensable. Usually, also, injuries due to the employees lntoxi- cation, willful misconduct or gross negligence are not compensable. Only nine states compensate for occupa- tional diseases. In some of these all occupational diseases are covered by the act, whereas in others the cov- craze is limited to certain specified diseases patterned after the British law.
 Since compensation legislation is supposed to supersede the old em ployers' liability laws, which are based upon negligence, it would seem desirable that the principle of neg ligence should be entirely eliminated from the compensation act. This has not been done entirely in most of the states, compensation being de- nied or refused if the employe is guilty of certain acts such as gross carelessness, intoxication. removal O.: safety devices and son on. Compen- sation laws are supposed to be hv- manitarian in character and to pro- vide economic aid to injured work man or his dependents. It is no fault of the widow or her dependent chill dren tlfat the deceased husband and father comes to his death because of a careless act. Their distress and needs would be the same in either case. Nor Is there any reason why occupationsA diseases should not be compensatSa. The reason for their exclusion li the early acts was due probably to the fact that little infor- nation existed as to their prevalence or lcost. It is now we'll known that the additional cost of occupational diseases would not be over two per cent of the total compensation cost and probably not over one per cent. Furthermore, many Of the states by judicial interpretation have allowed compensation for many types of oc- cupational diseases although the law supposedly does not cover such in 3uries.
