NO NEED NOW FOR

Workmen's' Compensation Act Has Abolished Them and the Shyster Claim Agent.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—The day of the ambulance chaser and the shyster claim agent has passed, thanks to the workmen's compensation law. Out of tlie thousands of accidents which have rccurred since July 1. when the law went into effect, there are not a dozen damage actions pending in any city in the state.

By the very requirements of the law, it is stated, there is no longer need for damage suits. All that the claimant has to do is to present his case before the commission, which at once sets in motion the machinery for the proper proving of the claim and then makes the award. Lack of fund3 on the part of the claimant is no barrier to the presentation of his claim, because he needs no attorney.

Speaking of the working of the new law, a well informed members of the department said today: "Through the administration of the workmen's compensation law by the commission the workingmen of this state are not only compensated for losses sustained as the result of industrial accidents, upon cases dully completed through their own efforts, but the state in reality render great assistance in completing the proof, and especially is this true in the more serious cases. "The commission can make an award only upon the finding of facts, and in order to justify its action it often has to make independent investigations which, incidentallly, are thus made for the claimant himself. "In addition to this the state in its effort to expedite the handling of claims sends out independent investigators for the sole purpose of making speed. "For instance, one hundred and thirty-Ave death cases were recently apportioned among the districts of the state to which deputies have been assigned. The deputies were called in and each man was given his proportion of cases with instructions to prcve them up quickly. In consequence of which, the next few days will sec the calendar loaded with death cases. "Under the old liability plan most if not quite all of these cases would have required a law suit and many months of torturing delay before the beneficiary could receive any recompense. In fact, it is the history of these damage cases that »ven the winner in the long run Is also the lcser. "The old plan kept the word of promise to the year, only to break it to the hope. Let us see how the law affects the public, which, for the time, let us say, are neither employers nor employees. The public affccted as citizens and taxpayers, maintaining courts and juries to try damage cases, maintaining poorhouses to take care of the destitute, maintaining hospitals for the free treatment of casys, maintaining charity organizations whose purpose is to hunt out the unfortunate, many of whom have been driven into despair because of the result of industrial accidents. "The compensation law for the public a3 well as for the employer and employee ushers in a new day. The
