LABOR’S INTEREST IN/ A NEW CONSTITUTION j It Would Give Opportunity to Securej a Workmen’s Compensation Act For Indiana. Preeminently an industrial state, Indiana has been slow to accept principles of legislation having to do with the protection of her industrial classes from the dependency that follows death or injury m the practice of their dally tasks. This is s situation due rather to the limitations of the present constitution than to any inherent hardness of heart on the pari of the employing class. The constitution stands like a stone wall against all legislation to this purpose. Conpensation for injuries or death to workingmen in the conduct of ih Jdustry has long been realized in adequate legislation in most of the Europ lean countries. It is now becomini I quite general in the United States J The value of this system as an agency of protection for the men subject t« the dangers of industry and theil dependents, as well as its notable benefit to the general social welfare, are now recognised fag every industrial nation. Though long delayed in its coming in this counter, it has now become an established feet in twen-ty-two states. Eight others are seriously considering the subject. These twenty-two states include every northern state where there is any considerable Industrial development, except Indiana and Pennsylvania. In some sform and to some extent these twen-ty-two states are guaranteeing protection to their industrial classes. So general now is the acceptance of the principle of compensation in legislation in the United States, that the employer who pays compensation is practically at no disadvantage as against competition in other states where the old order still prevails. Under the compensation system, the employer adds his compensation payment to the cost of his product and passes it on to the consumers. It becomes a legitimate cost faotor in production. In practical effect, society takas over the burden hitherto car Hod by its weakest members —the dependent family of the dead or injured workman. The broken workman is ; put on the sama basis in industry as 'the broken machine. Under the old system, it is estimated that not more than one-third of the compensation for death or injuries awarded the workingman or his family by the courts ever reached their hands. The rest was divided between the lawyers and the coat of litigation. The system In its results worked for the benefit alone of the liability insurance companies and the attorneys. Under the new system of workmen’s compensation, the full compensation, with no deductions for any purpose, goes directly and promptly to the workman or his family. The various state acts, while uniform in establishing the principle of putting the burden upon the industry, differ considerably in their standards of compensation and methods of administration. The scale of payments naturally is the most important feature of the system. ]n the compensation scheme, provision is made for compensation for the dependents in case of death, for permanent disability, or during the time of partial disability. Compensation in case of death or permanent disability is usually based upon a percentage of yearly wages, with a minimum and maximum limit, and varying allowances, according to the number of the dependents. The scale of variation is in most c; scs ircm $5.00 to $12.00 per week du- .ng the period of dependency, with a time limit In most states of six to seven years. In case of temporary disability, the compensation is ordinarily frem 50 per cent, to 65 per cent, of the weekly wage. Indiana is out of harmony with her sister states In this matter of protection of her industrial classes. The remedy can come only through a constitutional convention.
