To All Employers and Employes.

The Indiana Workmen’s Compensation Act becomes effective Sept. 1, 1915. This law is something new in Indiana and few know about it, but it affects you and each of you. After said date every employer shall keep a record of all injuries, fatal or otherwise, received by his employes in the course of their employment. Within one week after the occurrence and knowldge thereof of an injury to an employe, causing 'his absence from work for more than one day, a report thereof shall be made in writing and mailed to the Indutsrial Board. Other and subsequent notices are provided for in the law. The law provides that for every injury, the employer shall pay, and the employe shall receive, a certain compensation, in lieu of damaces. Employers will be required to carry insurance guaranteeing the payment of the compensation provided by law, or satisfy the Industrial Board that they are financially able to pay such compensation. I will be pleased to give you rates on insurance of this kind and to advise what your liabilities and duties are. —Chas. M. Sands, General Agent United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co.
