Planning Working Men's Compensation Act.

ard as part of the fixed cost of production. "I find among; our people a strong sentiment for conif-ulsory varlunen'a compensation; that is, a systeiiv which differs from that In Massachusetts and most other states In that It requires all employers of labor to assume the risk, and does not leave it optional as to whether the employer or the employe shall prefer to remain under the old common law 'rights. "Th National Manufacturers association also stands for compulsory workmen's compensation, and it is thought now that eventually all states will act along these lines and that there will be levied on all production an equal and uniform charge to care for those who do the country's work.

"Will workmen's compensation fall as an additional burden on employers?" he was asked. "Yes, to a certain extent, but not so heavily as many suppose. It and bet-

of Noted Men Who Are ! ter factor-v mpion win reduce the

numoer or uiTiaenis aim uih uisuLttun rates should be reduced under mutual and state competition. The material advantage to the employer is largely in the fact that he knows definitely what

j his industrial hazard is to be and will

carry it in a fixed sun We will be rid of of the uncertainty of great loss and the agitation of a certain type of attorneys. On the other hand, the workers will get good, substantial monthly payments in proportion to their wages, will be kept off charity and want and freed of the waste of legal proceedings. "The Indiana manufacturers show considerable sentiment also for better factory inspection and industrial education and vocational training. All over the state we are coming to realize that efficient, well-trained operatives are worth taking care of as a business proposition." A number of workmen's compensation bills have been prepared and are in preparation over the state and many will be introduced in the legislature. The Indiana Manufacturers' Bureau, of which Mr. Mix is the president, will have what It regards as a model bill, and this will be the one to receive the support of the manufacturers of the state.

TIMES BV RE A IT AT THE STATE CAPITA lu. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 19. Plans for legislation for workmen's compensation received a big boost, yesterday, at a meeting held here of leading manufacturers of the state. At the meeting wer such mn as M. W. Mix, Mishawaka. x-Governor W. T. Purbin, Anderson; IT. C. Atkins, Indianapolis; Clement Studehaker, Jr., South Bend; F. U. Von rtehren, Kvansville; Sanford Teeter, Bloomlngton; William It. Weitnecht, Mitchell; G. L X. Reeves, Columbus; W. D. Bradt, Brookville; Walter C. Kly, Terr Haute; C. C. Hanch, Indianapolis; M. II. Morches, Anderson; D. C. Jenkins, Kokomo; W. C. Dickey, Indiana Harbor; B. A. VanWinkle, Hartford City; H. C. Rockhill, Fort Wayne; Dr. E. A. Rumely, Laporte; President K. S. Fish and Scott Brown, council of the Studebaker corporation. South Bend; A. J. Rumely and Howard Hayes", Laporte; D. M. Parry and Albert Glossbrenner, Indianapolis. The meeting was for the purpose of planning a workmen's compensation bill to be introduced at the next session of the legislature. It was found that the manufacturers wish more than a workmen's compensation. There was a general feeling that the state should not only authorize stock and mutual insurance companies to carry industrial hazards., but the state should put itself in position to give lnsifrance if needed. There also was expression in favor of strengthening the state factory inspection department, to make It more effective. The manufacturers also desire a reduction in accident Insurance rates. Mr. Mix said that tile meeting was a conference rather than to draft or present the proposed legislation, and that there will be nothing to make public for several days. "But this one thing seems evident to all that the large employers of labor In Indiana are awakening to the fact that It pays to care for their workers. They are also accepting the view that the human wreckage of industry shall not be thrown on public charity, but that industry must carry this haz-
