EMPLOYERS OF LESS THAN
THREE PEOPLE ARE EXEMPTED

All employees of employers en-
ploying three or more people, except
agricultural workers and domestic
servants, are covered by the act. Any
employer regardless of the number
of employees may elect to come under
the act. An employer may elect to
come under this act and elect not to
come under the Workmen's Com
pensation Act, or vice versa.
The occupational disease act pro-
vides that the defenses of assumption
of risk, contributory negligence and
negligence of fellow employee shall
be denied to an employer subject to
the act but who refuses to come
under the act. This is similar to the

gifts, and entertainment for elder
citizens in the Great Falls area.
Last year, the non-profit organi-
cation which is dedicated solely to
improving the welfare of aged Mon
tanans, entertained more than three
hundred at the Christmas party. This
year, indications are that there will
be an even larger number of old
folks take part in the afternoons

BENEFITS SIMILAR TO THOSE
INDUSTRIALLY INJURED

The benefits and compensation to
be paid under the act are the same
generally as those provided under
the proposed amendments to the
Workmen's Compensation Act. That
is, an employee disabled by an occu-
pational disease will be paid per
centage of his average weekly wage
at the time of disablement.
Provision is made for both partial
and total disablement The average
weekly wage is roughly the average
weekly wage which the employee
earned during the last two months
he worked where he was exposed to
the occupational disease. A mini
mum compensation of $3.50 per
week is fixed but the maximum COM
pensation will be based on percentage
of wages. The average weekly wage
is used rather than the wage at a
fixed date because the exact date of
disablement canot be fixed. Unlike
an accident coming under the COM
pensation act, disablement from an
occupational disease may be gradual
and the time at which partial or total
disablement occurred is sometimes a
very technical question.
Medical and hospital benefits are
to be paid up to $4,000 and such
further medical and hospital treat
ment as the board may deem to be
Burial benefits are fixed
at $4,000.
An occupational disease is defin-
ed as any disease arising out of or
in the course of employment.

OccupationaI Disease
Disability Act

The Occupational Disease DISABLE
ity Act is to be administered by the
Industrial Accident Board. The
present setup of the board would not
be altered and the act could be put
into operation at a minimum of ex-
pense to the taxpayers.
The three plans for compensation
payments, as provided in present
Workmen's Compensation Act, are
provided for in the occupational dis
ease act. A new and separate fund
is set up under Plan III to be known
as the Occupational Disease Disabil-
ity Fund. This fund will be admin
istered by the board in the same
manner as the present Industrial Ac-
cident Fund

Comp. Act Amendments

In all cases maximum compensa-
ton rates are removed. The percent
ages of weekly wages as compensa-
ton under present act, remain the
same. Thus compensation rates for
all disabled workers would be increas-
ed By removing maximum limits it
would be unnecessary to seek adjust
ments in the amount of compensation
as wages increase or decrease. The
minimum payment would be increased
from $14.50 to $3.50 per week.

STATE SAFETY COUNCIL
PLANS ISSUANCE OF
NEWS LETTER

A news bulletin covering activi-
ties of the Montana Safety Council
last February's annual meeting, and
the progress of safety programs in
the state in the last year, will soon
be in process of distribution to in
terested employers, labor unions,
legislators and others. Decision to
put out a bulletin was reached at an
executive board meeting of the safety
council at the capitol Saturday.
Another important development at
the meeting was the resignation of
Baxter Larson from the executive
board. Larson, whose resignation as
chairman of the Industrial Accident
Board takes effect tomorrow, will
be opening a law office in Wolf
Point shortly thereafter. Larson, in
his year and eight months as lab
chairman has handled the work of
the commission ably, and gained the
respect of Montanans generally for
his fair-minded approach to work
mems compensation problems.
James Vanderbeck, newly appoint
ed LAB chairman, was named to fill
the safety council board vacancy
left by Larson. Another vacancy
caused by the death of insurance
man Ernest Rougeot, Helena, it was
decided would be filled by the in
surance mems state association.
Legislative committee named by
Council President John Horn, is COM
posed of: Robert Weller, Kalispell,
Lumber and Sawmill Workers, chair
man; James Vanderbeck; Verne Nc
Donald, Montana Power Co.; Kuno

injuries.
An amendment is made to require
the accident board to hold its first
hearing on all claims within 80 days
from the date of filing of claim.
A penalty section would be added
to provide a fine payable to the
state for discrimination by reason of
injury or claim for compensation
under the act.

RE SCHOOL OIL LEASES i.
WHO SAYS SCHOOLS
WOULD Benefit by
FLAT ROYALTY RATE?

Oil men who are asking for
changes in present school lands leas-
ing laws are contending that the
sliding scale of royalties on school
oil land production should be re-
placed with a flat 1914 per cent
royalty, regardless how great monthly
production per well may be.
They are saying the schools would
benefit if the flat rate was put
into effect. w. M. Saxon, Billings,
and oil industry spokesman at this
weeks state school boards meeting,
according to the Great Falls Tribune,
said: :. the sliding scale gives the
schools less benefit than they would
derive from proposed flat IL u per
cent royalty on oil production"
How well does that statement hold
up in the face of cold facts? Let us
see.
Recently Texas Company brought
in a well on school lands in Dawson
county. Monthly production, ac-
cording to the department of state
lands, is now running at H. 6O bar
rels. The oil is a 4O-plus gravity
or, in other words, very high grade
and commands a field price of $2.75
per barrel.
Under the present sliding scale, of
the first 5000 barrels per month pro-
duction, 12A per cent or 375 bar
rels is the states share. On the next
5000 barrels, the states share is
171a per cent or SIS barrels. On the
remaining $500 barrels, the states
share is Is per cent, or 1865 bar
rels per month.
Total share of production accruing
to school Permanent Fund under
sliding scale, 2,265 barrels per month.
AT $2.75 per barrel this means the
school fund receives $6,628.75 per
or 1884 per year.
Under the proposed flat 1929 per
cent royalty, the states share would
be 1,432.5 barrels per month with
a value of $3,939.3s, or $47,272.56
per year.
Under the proposed flat 121s per
cent royalty, the schools of Montana
would benefit" to the tune of a
LOSS of $32,272.44 per year. Cor
purposes, $32,272.44 per
year is enough to provide one years
education for 124 Montana boys and
girls, based on Dept. of Public In
'truction figures of $3.50 per year
per pupil for education.)
1t is difficult for those who square
the present figures with proposed
changes to understand what "bene-
its" are available under any such
:hanges

SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION OPPOSES ANY
Change In SCHOOL OIL Land ROYALTY SCHEDULE

Existing laws regarding the slid
ing scales schedule of royalties
on oil produced on state school
lands should remain unchanged,
is the position of the Montana
School Boards Association as a re-
suit of action taken at the associa-
TONS convention in Great Falls
this week.
Noting the lack of scientific in
formation on the mineral potentiali-
ties of state school lands, the assoc
iation also went on record to seek
legislative action to- empower the
state land board to employ experts
to make a full investigation of this
field.
Third resolution concerning oil
lands was approval of the lifting of
the 20-year limitation on leases to
permit leaseholders to operate leases
so long as oil and gas are produced,
prov d e d acceptable conservation
practices are adhered to. The associ-
alton favored retention of the 10
year primary leasing period as pres
emily provided for under state law.
SEEK MORE FOUNDATION
PROGRAM FINANCING
Other resolutions adopted by the
convention included requesting an in
crease in the foundation financing
program by 10 to 20 per cent for
elementary schools and Is to 80 per
cent for high schools.
Repeal of the so per cent limit
clause of state aid for the foun-
dation program is also sought.

provisions of the present Workmen's
Compensation Act.
The act provides a penalty for en-
ployers who discriminate against an
employee because of non-disabil-
ing occupational disease. This pen
atty is by way of fine payable to the
Second Injury Fund of the Industrial
Accident Board.

ton payments IN the case of tota
disability to 500 weeks would be re
moved and compensation made pay
Abe throughout the period of dis
ability.
The limiting to 500 weeks of pay
ments for permanent partial disabil
ity, would also be removed. Compen
sation in case of permanent partia
disability would be based on what
the employee could have earned al
the same employment he was engag-
ed in at the time Of injury rather
than what he actually earns after in
jury.
In the case of death the provision
limiting compensation to 500 weeks
would be removed in the case of ben
eficiaries but retained in the case
of major or minor dependents. Pay
ments to the surviving widow or sur
viving husband are for life, unless
beneficiary re-marrys. Payments to
the children of the deceased worker
would be made until the children are
Fl years of age. In the case of in
valid children payment would be paid
until he reaches Fl years and for
500 weeks thereafter. The 500
week limitation is retained as to ma
jor or minor dependents which in
clude the mother, father and broth
ers and sisters Of the deceased work
er.
The amount of burial expenses to
be paid would be increased from $3.50
to $500.
AND MEDICAL CARE,
REHABILITATION
The amount of medical and hospi-
tai benefits is raised from 81 900 to
$4,000 and the time limit for such
benefits removed. The Board may
order such further medical and hos
pital care as may be necessary to re-
habliitate the injured workman. Also
the amount allowed for artificial
limbs would be at least doubled and
the provision calling for replacement
every five years altered so as to pro-
vide for replacement when necessary
"WAITING PERIOD" |
Under the present act an injured |
single man does not receive compen-
'ation payments unless his disability
asts at least six weeks and a married |
nan cannot draw compensation I'M
ess his disability is of at least three
weeks duration. This would be
lmended so as to provide that any
injured employee would be compen-
ated for disability if disabled for
ver one week.
The minimum compensation for
pecific injuries would be raised from
14.50 to $3.50 per week. Maxi
num limits on compensation have
