COMPENSATION IN INDUSTRIAL
ACCIDENTS

THE WOMEN'S BUREAU of the U. s. Depart
ment of Labor has published a survey of in
dustra accidents among men and women, and the
relative compensation for the same. Only 19 of the
4S States have furnished any data on this subject;
and much of that is wholly inadequate. 1t goes
from 1892 to 1884, some reaches back to 1927 and
only States even counted the injuries for the 8
years before that date.
AS a sample of the facts shown, here are fig
ures for four States from 1882 to 1884 The av-
erage compensation for industrial accidents to men
is taken as 100, and the average compensation to
women is given in percentages.
In Illinois, a woman injured in an industrial
accident got 1913 per cent of the average paid to
men in 1882, and so per cent in 1884
In Michigan, women got 1873 per cent of male
in 1882, and Sc per cent in 1884.
In New York, the rise in the same period was
from 47.6 per cent to 545 per cent.
In Pennsylvania, women got 81 per cent of the
average male compensation in 1882 and 37.9 per
cent the next year-193i not given.
These figures show two things first that the
for women are coming up; and sec
ond that they have great distance yet to go.
William Gibbs McAdoo, when he took charge
of the railroads in the World War, announced that
women would get the same pay for the same work
as men. How long will it take private industry to
get up to that level?

LEARNING THE HARD WAY

x release from the Claims Bureau of the Associa-
ton of Casualty and Surety Executives points
out that the widespread drive against fake acci-
dent claim rackets, in which the police and capital
stock insurance companies have joined forces to
protect the insuring public against heavy losses,
is going forward with undmnished vigor.
This work is comparatively new-but it has
resulted in the arrest and conviction of hundreds
of racketecrs, including members of Old-eStablish-
ed gangs who moved about from city to city and
State to State perpetrating their frauds-frauds
which every insurance pOlicyhoder must pay for,
through higher insurance rates. AS the AssOcia-
ton says Accident takers constitute one of the
criminal types known to the police They
will stop at nothing, not even personal injury to
get easy money from some innocent mOtorist,
taXicab company, railroad, other individual or
utility Over a period of time, the take" from
the rackets runs far into the millions.
One of the recently convicted claim racketeerS,
it has been found, in the business for Is years
Operating from Massachusetts to New Jersey he
was forever getting caught in trolley doors, falling
off broken theatre seats tumbling over umbrellas
in trains, and getting hit by automobile tenders
He always had witnesses ready at hand to swear
carelessness or negligence-and usually he obtain
ed a generous settlement. Now he has started
serving prison sentence, along with others of the
same profession.
This drive against the faxed claim artist is as
as deterrent to others it is in pun
ishnG those it actually catches and convicts. The
accident racketecr is. at last learning that "crme
doesn't pay'-and learning it the hard way.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1939-01-05
MARCHING FORWARD

THE recommendations of the Advisory Council
Social Security for charging the scope of
the old-age pension program of the Social Security
Act include number of provisions that are bound
to meet general approval.
One of the main criticisms of the original Act
was the exclusion of large groups of pOpula-
ton who are just much in need of guaranteed
security in their declining years are those in
cuded in the benefits set up under the Act.
The Council proposes to remedy this defect by
broadening of the Act to cover about ii 800,O 600
additional persons. Those whom the Council be-
lieved should be included at 100000
plOyes of private non-prOfit religious, charitable
and educational institutions, 100000 seamen and
100000 employees of national and State banks.
The Council also recommended that by 1910, APP
proXimately 100000 farm employees and 6,OOO,-
600 domestic employees should be added
About 42,0OO,OOO persons are now covered in
the od-age pension system. The additions rec
commended by the Council will bring the total up
to about 66S00,00O.
Other important apd just recommendations
are: Starting the payment of insurance benefits
in 1910 instead of in 1912, the present law pro-
vdes; increasing the average benefits payable dur
ing the early years, thus recognizing the fact that
the worker covered into the pension system late
in his employable life has not been able to build
up an adequate pension credit and providing for
the payment of annuities to the widow and de-
pendent children of insured workers who die be-
fore after the age of 65 set up in the present
Act as the age when pensions begin
Some OF the recommendations OF the Council
are scheduled to develop controversy The sugges-
ton that the Federal Government pay One-third of
the old-age pension tax, the employers one-thrd
and the employees one-thrd, instead of the present
scale by which the employers pay one per cent of
the payroll and the employees per cent of their
wages, is likely to arouse opposition. The sugges-
tion that the reserve fund, which under the pres
ent plan will amount to about $17 900 O0O, 900 in
1880, be materially reduced, thus decreasing the
tax necessary to support the system, will also al
so probably develop controversy
But the constructive recommendations for eX-
tending the cOveragc of the Act to include nearly
15,000,OO0 additional persons, beginning the pen
sion payments in 1910, providing larger pensions
during the first years of the system, and guaran-
teeing suitable pensions for widows and depend
ent children--thcse recommendations are clearly
reasonable and Just applications Of the broad prn
ciple of Social Security.

gins, q world war that seemed certain aVerted.
Yet, at the same time, ma or though undeclared
wars are in progress on two of the continents,
brute force has become the principal weapon of
modern diplomacy, and there can be no real sta
blty in the world, no permanent rest for the
nerves Of the troubled billions who inhabit it, 50
long as this is true.
Coming home to our own country, 1888 opened
with business declining on every hand, and with
depression deepening. At the years end, one Of
the Sharpest improvements in business in our his
tory registered over period Of five months,
and the immediate prospects favor continuation
of this trend. Some Of the grave differences be-
tween industry -at-large and the National Admin
iStration seem to be nearing reconcllement The
inevitable deduction to be made from the impOr-
tant Oii-ycar elections in November is that the
thinking of the electorate is turning toward the
conservative side Spokesman for manufacturing

highly encouraging. 1t gives great cause for hope
that depression Il decade long may be at last
nearing its end. But, though this is true, it
would be folly to overlook, or to underestimate, the
many vital and unsettled problems that the Amer
