MANY PROTEST
26.9PER CENT
INCREASE
Chamber of Commerce Calls
Meeting for Tuesday to
Study the Situation

Following receipt of com
plants against 26.9 per cent
increase in compensation in
surance premiums which local
employees must pay, effective
as Of August !. a meeting was
called today of the law and
legislation committee Of the
Washington Chamber Of Com
merce for next Tuesday to
study the situation.
Inquiries at the insurance de-
partment of the District govern
ment disclosed that the local Off
Gals have no control over the
rates. Neither is a there a Fed
eral agency with power to regu,
late rates locally
The rates, according to w liam
H. Davis, manager of the DISTRICT
of Colu pbia compensation rating
bureau, a branch of the Natioral
Council on Compensa ton InoHr
ance are based or experiences OF
all the national insuring com
panieS
The 26.9 increase, he SAID is an
emergency measure desigre1 to
prevent further losses by che COLT
panies. The rates in effect here
were based on a five-year average
OF payrolls and other factors
prior to 193O-prosperity years
Since then there has been :.
marked slashing of payrolls with,
out corresponding reduction IN
hazards.
Local employers. it is sai1 have
little choice in the matter. They
are required by law to carry com
pensation insurance. If they re,
fuse to pay the premiums the
policies may be cancelled by the
companies. They lack the com
fort enjoyed in most States of
knowing that the raise is made
only after approval has been
granted by State commissions.
