Weller said that the law needs
overhauling, pointing out that the
original intent of the act was not
that the injured man should have to
hire attorneys. 'sThere should be

the extent of injuries; some consider

showed charts and excerpts from the
law on the history of the deteriora-
ton of the unemployment compen-
sation law.
In 1897. he said employers paid
2:78o of their gross payroIls into
the fund.
In 1941 the $4,000 salary limit
for employer payments was invoked.
In 1947 the experience rating was
enacted along with an average rate
set at 1.8, which meant that no mat
ter what the drain on the fund the
average per cent paid by all employ
ers would not be more than 1877.
In 1863 the average rate was re-
duced to 1.2%o.
As result of this sabotage to the
fund, he said, in 1859 employers
saved five million dollars more than
they paid into the fund because if
there was not state compensation
law they would have had to pay 2.7ao
to the federal government.
PROGRAM is COCKEYED"
''The whole program is cockeyed
according to sound insurance poll
cies", Ernest Salvas said, "The OBJ
jectives have been of saving money
for the employers rather than pro-
viding an expanding insurance pro-
gram.
He said unemployment insurance
was catastrophe" like any other
insurance, and when the need is in
creasing, standards are being re-
duced.
''In the shuttle we lose sight of
the fact we are trying to maintain
the purchasing power of the working
groups, he said.
Salvas commended that the exper-
fence rating has had the effect of
putting employers in the position of
challenging the qualifications for
benefits of people working for them.
He pointed out that consumers
are paying 2.7%o allowed for un-
employment compensation in the
cost of everything they buy and
when employers are not paying
that money into the fund they are
making a profit on compensation
while stealing from the fund and
not paying proper benefits.
eve need higher payments into
the fund during high employment
periods and we need to broaden the
program and increase the benefit
levels and the duration, he said.
Salvas did not agree that if en-
ployees paid into the program they
would have more to say about its
progress. He said, 81 have never
found that good arguments or good
presentations have any relationship
to getting good legislation through.

Improving Workmen's
Compensation

Members of the panel on Work
mems Compensation were Robert
Weller, Kalispell, executive secretary
Montana District Council of the Lum-
Der and Sawmill Workers Unions,
and Dale McGarvey, Kalispell, attor-
ney and lawmaker
McGarvey spoke on the principles
and standards of the law, pointing
out, "The alternatives when a man
is injured on his job is to support
him with welfare, which is charge
upon the general taxpayer, or by the
industry that causes the accident,
because the injured workers family
has to be supported when their source
of income is cut off,.
"The principle that human damage
is the responsibility of industry just
as is damage to industrial machinery,
was established in 1916 when the
first industrial accident law was en-
acted, he said, "but over the years
the program has fallen further and
further behind insofar as industry
assumes it's fair share of it's respon-
sibility''.
''It is shocking to see the attitudes
of the legislature when bills to in
crease payments and improve the
law are proposed, McGarvey stated.
He said, eve do not save taxes
by holding down the program. When
man is totally disabled, the source
of his income cut off, and settlement
of his claim delayed, the family has
to go on welfare and the morale of
the injured sman suffers causing
anxieties which impede his recovery
and bitterness that brushes his will.
"The principle of the Industrial
Accident law was to avoid these
problems. The principle was to
make it possible for man to be
able to pay his necessary bills,
avoid being a cost to the taxpayers
and to get him back in the labor
force as quickly as possible.

RECEIVES LESS THAN
.WELFARE'S MINIMUM
STANDARDS

S fragments are not now common
surate with standards of decency
and health, medical benefits are not
what they ought to be-, he said and
added, eff the State Legislature does
not accept it's responsibility federal
standards are going to have to be
enacted. Montana's Industrial Acct
dent Law is so poor the injured
workman does not receive what the
Q Welfare Department considers the
minimum standards for decency and
health, he said.
? Robert Weller explained the three
different plans under which an en-
ployer may insure to protect the
working man, contending that the
principle of the law is good and right,
but that good laws can be turned
around so they no longer perform
the Job they were intended to do,
under poor administration.
He explained the three insurance
plans by which an employer insures
to protect himself and his employee.
Plan /, he said, is where the en-
.ployers carries his own insurance.
These are large employers. Weak
nesses of the plan include acceler-
ated efforts on the part of the en-
ployer to cut down on the cost by
trying to get people out of the hos
pital and get them job as night
Waterman and convince them he is
doing them a favor.

K-os Capture

When the suspect, identified

Shane caught Brooks by the
right foot and held on until
the policemen took him into

STATISTICAL OVERHAUL
Virginia Restricts
Birth, Death Records

RICHMOND, Va, June 4
(AP)-Beginning July / Vir-
ginia birth and death records
will be closed to all except those
with a direct and tangible in
terest in them-and a regula-
ton adopted by the State
Board of Health limits this in
terest to a very few.
A law passed by the recent
General Assembly and REIN
forced by the Health Board
regulation orders the closing.
The law also provides for the
first major overhaul and mod
ernization of the vital Stats
tics system since these records
were first kept a half-century
ago.
The act embodying the
changes was drawn up by the
State Health Department and is
patterned after a national
model act. 1t was sponsored in
the legislature by Senators
Mosby G. Perrow jr. of Lynch
burg and j. D. Hagood OF
Clover.
Deane L. Huxtable, director
of the State Bureau of Vital
Statistics, said there was no in
tent in the law to abridge free
dom of the press or keep public
records secret. He said news
papers which now print these
lists can get births from hos
pitfalls and deaths from funeral
homes.
Mr.. Huxtable said two ma
ljor considerations guided the
decision to close the records
The first, he said, was to keep
commercial firms - such as
tombstone manufacturers OF
baby photographerS-from cap
italizing on printed lists OF
these records.
The other he listed as a
logical extension of the con-
f1dential doctor-patient rela-
tionship.
