Ohio State Worl1men's Compensation
Insurance Fund Largest In Country

Columbus, O.-The nations largest
workmen's compensation system and
insurance fund, administered by the
Industrial Commission for the State of
Ohio, completed thirty years of opera
tion on February %.
From an humble beginning March l.,
1912, the Ohio State WOrkmen'S Com
pensation Insurance Fund has grown
through the years until it now is the
largest in the country, with greater
claim reserves and annual benefit pay
ments than those of any private work
mems compensation insurance company
or state fund.
The Commission which administers
the Ohio workmens compensation law
and the Fund is composed Of Chairman
Will T. Blake, employe representative,
East Liverpool; Vice Chairman James
A. White, employer representative,
Columbus; and Clarence H. knisley,
public representative, Bainbridge Rich

Four independent funds compose the

Insurance Fund. They are: Private

fund: Occupational disease fund: and
public wOrk-relief employees compenS;i-
ton fund Each is maintained entirely
by premiums paid by private and pub
lie employers.
Balance in the funds at the close of
the 3O-year period on February IS was
SSG,714,7121S, including reserves set
aside for the biweellly payment of
compensation over an extended period
of years in claims previously allowed
by the commission.
Based on the theory that industry
should pay for disability and death
resulting from accident or disease aris-
ing out of "A workers employment, the
Ohio workmen'S compensation law was
enacted in 1911 by the state legisla-
ture, and became operative March l,
1912.
The original act created a State
Liability Board of Awards to admin

as a competitive system of workmen's
compensation to which employers could
subscribe if they did not choose to in

Labor Willing To Make Nee.
essurY Sacrifices To
Insure Victory

Happenings Of recent years and the
more recent months have made in
creasingly prominent in our lives those
two simple words, fear" and enemy"
The sense i'm which we more frequently
associate these two words Is fear of
the enemy" Labor fears Industry, In
dustry fears Government. and Govern
ment fears its political and economic
enemies. We all have our individual
and collective fears ranging from
whether the President will become a
dictator down to whether npighbnr
Jones will get pound Of sugar more
than we receive. Our lives are beSet
with Il thousand fears. We are sur
rounded by anpInip>-sOme potential
but mostly imaginary.
How many of u.s. wonder. eyer stop
to think that fear itself is our great
est enemy, and that most of our enc
mics exist only in our imagination.
Fear becomes cancprous after while,
and gradually eats away our vital
energy, and renders US helpless, i'm
potent hulks Of humanity.
Just as the child finds that his
boogeyman quickly disappears when
the light is turned up, so it is with our
fears if we face them with realism.
honesty and courage.
In recent weeks we have heard
Labor viciously attacked by congress
men and others, and falsely accused of
hampering the war production pro-
gram. We listen to these TRADES and
the spectre of disunity raises its gro
tesque countenance and we begin to
have fears. We begin to fear and dis
trust fellow Americans.
If the American way of life is TO
survive we must abandon our fears
of each other. Government. Labor In
duStry and all of us must realize our
interdependence, and that we are in
tegral parts Of nation dedicated to
the principles of freedom, equality and
Justice; that we have common eneIny
hammerins at our very gates. seeking
to destroy these very principles upon
which our country was established. So
l say to you, abandon your fears. and
face the task before you with determi-
nation, with courage. with confidence.
We have Il big job to do-not tomorrow
but right now!
Despite accusations. there is plenty
of evidence that Labor is doing its
part in the war effort, and 1t is will
ing to make the necessary sacrifices
to insure victory. If and when Indus
try ceases its quibbling and schelniHg
for bigger profits and really gets down
to the business of full production,
Labor will then have the opportunity
to contribute an even greater effort
to a victorious conclusion of the war.
We want to remind members of the
Local that Conference time is on its
way, so get your resolutions in before
it's too late. o. c. 124.
