tions, have taken Q stand against the use of waivers.
 "The Connecticut workmen's compensation law and administra- tive system as a whole, urgently need modernization. The law needs to be changed from elective to compulsory coverage, in line with the action recently taken in our neighboring State of Massachu- sets. It Is unfair both to work CTS and employers for some em- ployers to have to pay workmen's compensation premiums while other employers are allowed to elect out of the arrangement. The Connecticut administrative arr rangement Is the most decentra1- ized that is to be found in any State in the Union.
 'This extreme degree of decen- tralization weakens the operation of the system as whole, especial ly with regard to the effectiveness of related services such as accident prevention and rehabilitation.
 According to the last available comparison of benefits by rat- ings made by the National Coun- cil on Compensation Insurance, Connecticut rated twenty-fifth among the States as to liberality of its workmen's compensation payments. On the other hand, our neighboring State, Rhode Island, ranks fifth. Even the State of Maine, renowned for its frugality, has a more liberal rating than Connecticut.
 'Manifestly, 1t Is necessary for Connecticut to follow up its step in raising the level of the maxi mum weekly payment by raising the level at other points which are much too low, by undermining the law as whole, and by unifying

the administration of the law. And certainly, in the face of the war. time emergency, Connecticut can. not delay longer enacting a sec. ond injury fund provision, and ending the deplorable practice of requiring workers who want jobs to sign waivers of their workmen's compensation rights"
 Additional amendments to the Workmen's Compensation Law. introduced by the building trades locals, and unanimously approved by the last State Federation con. vention. will be presented to the Legislature, Feinmark said, adding that the State Labor Relations Act and amendments to the Workmen's Compensation Act were only part of the Federation's legislative pro. gram.
The sub., 1944-12-09

payment to $30 was a good one, the amendment should be looked upon as a token of action yet to be expected In this field, rather than as evidence of a completed job.
 "For a great many years there has been a lag, in Connecticut, in bringing this important legislation abreast of the developments that have taken place in some progress sive States. For example, 1t is matter of very serious concern to the workers that the percent age of wages paid as workmen's compensation in Connecticut is only 50S5, as compared with 66 2/3%o in many other states, and with 7O% in Wisconsin. More over, the payments are so limited as to duration that they often run out at the time when the injured worker or his dependents may be most in need of protection.
 For example, payment for per- manent total disability can con- tinue only for 520 weeks. as com- pared with payments for life in number of states. Another ex- ample of the inadequacy of the Connecticut benefit payments is the number of weeks for which compensation is paid for the loss of a member. For example, in Connecticut the worker is paid for only PTS weeks for the loss of an arm at the shoulder, as com- pared with 500 weeks in Wiscon- sin.
 With regard to the nation wide program to assure the max imum employment of workers, not only during the wartime emer- gency, but under postwar condi- tions, very serious gap in the Connecticut legislation is the lack of any provision for a second in- jury fund, to aid the employment of handicapped workers and sol- dierS.
 Under such provision worker who, for example, has lost an arm or eye, and then in a sub- sequent accident loses another member and becomes totally dis abled, would be paid for the per- manent total disability. However, the employer who gave job to the handicapped worker would be charged only for the loss arising from the second injury, and the remainder of the loss would be paid out of the second injury fund. Such an arrangement relieves the fear of an employer that he in. CUTS too great risk if he gives a job to handicapped worker. In Connecticut such a situation has been met by compelling the hand icapped applicant for job to sign waiver. The worker is supposed to have choice in this matter, but actually he does not, because if he refuses to sign the waiver he cannot get work in many Connect icut establishments.
 Many thousands of Connecticut workers have been compelled to sign such waivers every year in order to get jobs. This is a dis grace to the State. Even the in- surance carriers, in recent pub1ica.
