WANT BOARD TO ADMINISTER WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION

clerk. Representative Bowen con tends that the importance of the law and the many duties required in it's enforcement call for the creation of a seperate commission. His bill Is in line with workmen's compensation legislation of a great majority of states according to his statement.
 All disputes arising under the law would be adjusted by the commission instead of by the courts as at pres ent. Under the law now on the books misunderstanding may be carried to the circus court and from the cir cult court to the supreme court. The Bowen bill provides for appeals from the industrial commission to the su- preme court.
 Another important feature Of the bill relates to the maximum benefits which may be obtained by an injured workman. It provides a maximum weekly payment of s2O compared with $15 at present.
 The bill further provides that the waiting period during which a work . man may not submit a claim for compensation shall be seven days instead of l4 days, at present
 The compensation law of 1919 wa drawn at conference committee after the long fight between those representing labor and those repre- senting corporations and employers of labor. It was accepted as a com promise measure by the contending forces.
