PAGE EIGHT THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE RISK BUREAU MAKES REFUND 10 EMPLOYERS Adepts New Rules Relative to; Payment of Premiums by Employers and for Rating 24 PERCENT CHARGE OFF| New Rates for Ensuing Year| to be Much Lower than Last Year The Workmen’s Compensation Bu- reau has adopted new rules relative to the payment of premiums by em- ployers and for rating of the vari- ous classifications for the new year| and will within a few days have; completed the new rates. As one of the changes in the rules the Bureau has more than doubled the amount of credit which automatically at- taches to one having a normal or _ better than normal ex perience. ‘The credit is changed from a 10 per cent to a 24 per cent | basis. This change is made as an added inducement to employers to revert themselves in preventing acci- | ‘dents. This credit is retroactive and Wii ve appiied to tne adjustment of all the premiums paid since July 1st, 1921, In addition to the rule pro- viding for an increased automatic credit, the Bureau has also’ declared | a 15 percent dividend to ‘all erploy-} ers with such good experience] which will also:be applied on the ad- justment of all premiums ‘for the! past year. The 24 per cent conditional charge which has. heretofore applied to em-| ployers on thejr ‘first year’s insur- ance will no longer be charged to} such employers. .Formerly employ- ers contributing for, the first time to the fund were charged 24 per cont more than other employers in the same classification, the 24 per cent being returned to them if their] experience was normal or __ better than normal; but in case of bad ex- perience a portion of the 24 per cent was retained depending upon the se- of the losses within the em- s’ plants. The abolition of the! 24 per cent conditional charge is for: the purpose of making it as attrac- tive as possiblé for those employers who are not subscribing to the fund to comply with the law. The mini- mum charge for mercantile estab- lishments, banks. ete, which in- cludes most of the industries of the state has been reduced from $5.00 to $4.00. Another change which it is believed will avoid considerable con- fusion is a new rule adopted where- by all office ‘help is insured at an office rate. Formerly, the office em- ployees of factories and mercantile establishments ‘were given the rate of the factory or establshment ‘in which they were engaged unless the office payroll exceeded 10 per cent: of | the total payroll of the establshment in which case those in excess of 10] per cent were given an office rate.| All of the above changes will have a tendency to reduce the amount of premiums by the various employers. Although the Bureau, has not yet adopted new rates for the ensuing year, it Was stated at the Bureau that over 100 of the rates will be reduced while approximately 15 of the rates would receive slight in- creases, and quite a number of the rates will remain unchanged. The majority of employments in which no change of rate will be made are those in which there are few work- men employed in North Dakota and some other classifications where the experience of the Bureau has shown that the awards for losses approxi- mately equalled the premium re- ceived. \ SWIMMING POOL WATER IS 0. K. _There is no, danger of. infec- tion in the city swimming pool, according to E. M. Stanton, hac- teriologist, who, submitted a re- port to the, city commission last night., The bugs or insccts found around the pool are harmless, he says. “The pool is in good, sanitary condition and there is no reason for people thinking that they will get a disease from'the pool,” said Mr. Stanton. “Fresh water’ is constantly running in, and the’ pool gets plenty of air and sun- shine which tends to destroy bae. terial life.” The bathing sults, he said, were carefully disinfected by a good reliable germicide.

PIBCE OF LUCK sh Which Breeds Black | Stem Rust Exists, but | Fight Goes on | | iPLAN I'S OUTLINED | The almost negligble amount of , black stem rust in wheat ip central | North Dakota this year is a stroke cf | luck, cecording to D.:G.

North Dakota in abundance, but | conditions have apparently gaved the | heavy loss caused by rust in the last few years, Mr. Ietcher said. Traveling from Grand Forks to Mi- | |not and from Minot to Bismarck Mr. | Fletcher reported that a bumper crop | |may be expected unless. something | j unforseen prevents it. There is lit- | tle rust in central North: Dakota, | where much rust has obtained in the | past, he said. ‘ | “Black stem rust can be prevented | by the eradication of every barberry | bush,” Mr. Fletcher said. “The fed- | eral government is spending $350,000 in 18 states in the middle-west this | year in an endeavor to eradicate it. | There are 24 field men working inj North Dakota now, scouting out th: | bush. If the federal agents can have | the co-operation of every farmer the | rust menace can be diminished in the | next few years.” \ Farmers have for years feared black rust perhaps more than any other destroyer of wheat..

Nur- series later found a ready. ‘sale: for | the bush. It often is found in cities | used as hedge for lawns. j The government tests, Mr. Fletcher | said, have conclusively shown that the bush is the breeder of black stem rust, and it has increased, in recent years as the number of bush- es have increased.

Most of these states have seen an increase in bank failures since the enactment of the guaranty law. Recently in Oklahoma, and in some other states, there has been a great increase in the number of national banks because of the guaranty law and the burdens it involves, MINNEWAUKAN | ‘ MAN SUICIDES Minnewaukan, N. D., July 11—Diue, it is believed, to temporary mental unbalance, Jack Madigan, well known! resident of Minnewaukan, killed him-| self by shooting a .32 calibré revol-| ver. bullet into, his temple.

SLANG COSTS MONEY HERE Fargo, N. D., July 11—Workers in the office of the North Dakota Fair association have formed a so- ciety for the suppression of slang and cuss words, but, unlike most re- formers’ they are going to. confine their efforts for uplift strictly ‘to themselves. They have agreed to forfeit penal- tics rangirig up to 25 cents whenever they are caught using “swear words” and slang. It costs one quarter, American money, to use a “bad swear word” in the association office. Five cénts is the fine for such ex- pressions as “Heavens,” “Darn,” “Gosh Darn,” “Golly,” “By Heck” and “Jerusalem” while the piker can slip by with a penny penalty by using such comparatively colorless exclamations as “Gee,” “Confound” and “Sam Hill.” The penalty box is already heavy with coin and appears to be loaded mainly with quarters.
