STATU | Supreme Court’s Decision on Compe sation Act Explained. Hartford, Feb. —Compénsation Commissioner George B. Chandler was asked today how the recent decision of the supreme court affected em- ployers of less than five pe | reply Mr. Chandler said: cision of the supreme court makes no change whatever in the status of employers and employes under the the A act. In other words every employer of less than five persons is under the act, but every such employer can secure exemption from the act by *ha simple process of applying to the | compensation commissioner of his | district either by personal presenta- | tion or by registered mail. At the ame time amy such employer must serve notice upon his employe or em | ployes, by the use of form’ No. | In the case of a new employe this service of form No. 7 takes effect immediately, but in the case of an old employ it does not take effect uitil thirty days after service. “Service of form .Na. 5 upon the compensation commissioner runs in- definitely and does not need to be renewed. In seryving form No. 7 on the employe, it is not necessary for the employe to sign the same. The employer simply fills in the em- ploye’s name and hands the paper to the employe. The employer should exercise care either to serve this paper on the employe in the presence of a witness or keep a copy threof In other words he should be in a po- sition to come to a hearing before the commissioner and prove that he actually did serve the paper upon the | employe.” FOUR MEN KILLED IN ICE JAM AT LISBON Northern and Western New Hamp- shire and Connecticut River Valley Recovering From Floods.
