nentu 70 Law BY 1925
Legislature

Rates for industrial Insurance WIFI
be raised an average of Is per cent
BY the Montana Industrial Accident
commission on July /, ]. T. Locke,
chairman OF the commission an
bounced.
The raise is OccasioDed, Mr.. Locke
explained, by the liberalization OF

made TO the Insurance law by the 1873
legislature. Private insurance COM
panies, he said. have announced a flat
raise OF 20.3 per cent. The commits
sion's rates will not be subjected to
flat raise but viii affect the various
occupations with Increases ranging
from nothing to so per cent.
The compensation law win have been
In effect for ten years on July I, 1925.
and the results Of its operation during
that time will be the basis for the new
rates, the amount Of surplus piled up
In each occupation during that time
being the determining factor In fixing
the new rates.
1t is estimated by Mr.. Locke that the
amendments Of the 1925 legislature
IiberalIzed the act about % per cent
In favor Of the workmen. The maxi
nuns benefits were Increased from
$3.50 to $15 a week. The medical,
hospital and surgical allowance was
Increased from 500 for two weeks TO
5000 for six months. The age Of chill

ficiaries is raised from 10 years to IS
