Insurance Interests
Against Campaign
In Massachusetts
Petition Calls For State Fund
To Finance Compensd-
ton For Workers

Boston, Mass. GLNS)-The State
Ballot Law Commission has reserved
Judgment on a formal protest submit
ted in behalf of Massachusetts insur-
ance companies offering compensation
insurance against an initiative petition
filed by the State Federation of Labor.
The petition called for a state fund to
finance compensation for workers.
The commission heard 40 witnesses
in II days. Decision is expected to be
announced in two or three weeks. The
petition bore 24,19O names, and of
these about 10000 We're protested. To
void Il referendum on the state ballot
in the general elections in November,
the commission must find that 4,191
names on the petition are there lille
gally.
The Massachusetts insurance inter-
ests are making strenuous efforts to
nullify the work of the labor fedora
ton in campaigning for the state work
mems compensation fund, their aim
being to prevent the question being
referred to the voters for decision at
the elections next fall.
The state compensation fund would
provide a completely uniform pattern,
and OF course, affect the huge profits
of the insurance companies. Hence
their vigorous attempts to block the
drive of the labor federation for the
state operation and control of work
mems c~OmuanSatiOn.
Considerable time at the commission
hearing was devoted to argument by
counsel representing both sides, counsel
for labor contending insufficient in
valid signatures would be found to dis,
qualify the petition, and counsel for
the insurance interests claiming more
than the legal number would be found.
