In beginning his talk upon th workmen’s compensation act, Commis- sioner Donohye referred to the Ger- man and English plans and spoke of the experfence of Michizan where a compensation act has been in force a year and ugder which 10,000 cases have been handled, with omy elght appeals to the courts and only 200 arbitration cases in the whole num- ber.

Part C has to| | a0 with the organization of mutual in | surance companies, and for the pu Doses of this bulletin may be disre- garded. Part A is a modification of the | present law governing employers’ bility: part B comprises the new com- pensation plan Every employer and employe has the power of choice be- tween these two parts under the con. ditions and with the resulting advan- | tages hereinafter expiained. | Employers of Less Than Five Persons. A general impression has exstied that employers of less than five persons are exempt from the provisions of the act. Tn the opinion of the attorney general, such is not the case, Every party to a contract of employment, {rrespective to the number of persons in the em ployer's service, falls automatically under the provisions of part B unless notice of refusal to accept the act is served upon the commissioner of the district and the other party to the contract. If notice of refusal is thus served by either party, the present status of the contract remains un- changed and suits may be brought and defended, as in the past, under the ex- isting laws governing liability for per- sonal -injuries. Employers of Five or More Persons. Every contract of employment in this class falls automatically under part B, with the option to the em- ployer and employe of choosing the following alternatives: The Employers’ Alternative. (a) Any employer of this class may come under part A by notifying the commissioner of the district and his employes of his refusal to accept the provisions of part B; but, if he does 80, he 18 subject to action by any em- ploye, in case of injury, under the pro- visions of part A with the common law defenses of contributory nesli- gence, fellow scrvant and assumed risk taken away. The Employes’ Alternative (b) Any employe of this class may come under part A by serving like no- tiee upon the commissioner and his employer; but. If he does so, action must be brought against his employer, Dr. J. J.

In other words, efther party tq the contraet can prevent the application of the compensation features of the act and can leave the ; of the parties as they now are and ject to be ad- Justed in an ordinary common law suit, With this {mportant exception: If the rejection of the compensation features of the act is by the employer the com- mon law defenses above referred to (contributory negligenee, fellow ser- vant and assumed risk) are taken away from him. 1If, however, the rejection is by the employe, those common law defenses remain in full force. Part B (the Compensation Feature). A careful study of the main features of part B is recommended. They are substantially as follows: (a) 'The employer is bo furnish the injured employe, at his pwn expense, the necessary medical and surgical at- tention, including hosflfafl_ service, for a period of 30 days er the injury. This is in addition to the weekly com- pensation. (Part B, Seé; 1.) (b) In case of fatal injuries, the compensation may be one-half of the average weekly wage of the employe at the time of the acciflent, payable for a period of 312 weeks after death, and, in addition, $100 for burial expenses; but In no case shall such compensation be more than $10 or less than $5 & week. Therefore, in the ordinary case ‘Where persons are left who were to- tally dependent upon the employe, the maximum and minimum costs to the emplover in cases of fatal injury are $3,220 and $1,680, respectively, plus the cost of medical, surgical and hospital service for 30 days. (Part B, See. 8.) (c) In ease the employe Is totally incapacitated to perform work of any character, hi weekly compensation during incapacity fs one-half of hie average weekly earnings at the time he was injured; but in no case shall the compensation continue for more than 520 weeks, nor shall it be more than $10 or less than $5 a week. The maxi- mum cost, therefore, to the employer in any case of total incapacity is $5,200, plus medical, surgical and hospital ser- vice for 30 days. There are six specified Injuries which, by the express terms of the act, consti- tute total incapacity, irrespective of the earning power of the injured parey af- ter the accident. (Part B, See. 11.) These injuries are as follows: . Injury. Weeks. of a T tal and permanent loss sight in both eves ... The loss of both feet at above the ankle o The loss of both hands at above the wrist .. . The 10ss of one foot at or ab: the akle and one hand at above the wrist ... 3 Any injury resulting in perma~ nent and complete” paralysis of the legs or arms or of one ieg and one arm 5 Any injury resulting in incura- ble imbecility or insanity Fatal Injuries. (d) Tn case the injury results only in partial incapacity, the compensa- tion, which cannot exceed $10 per weelk, and cannot extend bevond 312 weeks, is to be one-half of the difference be- tween what the workman was earning on the average before the accident and | what he is able to earn after it. For example, 1f his average weekly wage before the accident was $15, and he is able to earn $10 a week after his in- jury, his compensation will be $2.50 & weelk. There are certain specific injuries (Part B, Sec. 12) for which one-half | the average weekly wage must be paid for an arbitrary number of weeks, re- gardless of the earning capaeity of the injured party after the accident. No weekly compensation Is pay- for any injury that does mot in- pacitate - the workman for two weeks; and if he is##fcapacitated for longer’ than that period, compensation begins on the 15th day after the injury. (Part B, Sec. 8.) (f) Injuries due to wilful and seri- ous misconduct or intoxication are ex- cluded from compensation. @) ) (O} ) (6) The Insurance of Liability for Claim The adequate insurance of claims is importance. Pro- vision this is made in Section 30 of part B, and elsewhere. There are four ways in which this may be done employer may insure his own ni which event he must furn- compensation commissioner evidence of his ability to meet claims under the act. Or, the emplayer may file with the insurance commmissioner, in form acceptable to him, security guarantee ing the perfomance of the obliga tions of the act satisfactor any mutual or stock company author ized my the insurance commissioner to do business in the state under the terms of the act. 4. Or, with the approval of the i surance commissioner, he may estab- lish some form of agreement with his employes. The fourth method outlined abovs, authorized by section 29 of Part B of the aci, is substantially that in use by e of the larger corporations of the Insurance plans of must mot the approval of the - Insur- ance commissiener, and cals for a con- bution from the employer at least equal to that which he would be oblig- ed to make by direct payments in ac cordance with the terms of the act The second methed calls for the fil- ing of a bond with proper surety or se- curity in some equivalent form, guar anteeing the performance of the em- ployer's obligations under the act, such bond or other security to be approved by the insurance commissioner. The third method is the familiar sys- me of liability tnsurance. If the policy is in a company or association author- ized to do business in the state, and if it is written In the form of to cover the liability under the act, no further in- vestigation will, in general, be requir- ed (and this method will probably be simplest way of complying with the requirements of the act). . first method by which the em- ployer insures himself, calls, for the presentation of proof of solvency and financial ability to the compension commissioner, The scope of the proot must depend to some extent upon the circumstances surrounding the individ- ual case. It may involve an audit of books at the expense of the employer, and the production of such other evi- dence as may be required to sttosty the commissioner that the employer will Dbe able to respond to his obligations, and is of such continue of this ability over such peri- od of time as the weekly compensition may continue payable, As an ald to this investigation the commisoner will where practicable receive at the ex- pense of the employer reports of rec- ognized commercial agencies, together with any other evidence that bears up- | on the questidn at issue. While it is the intention of the commissoioners to avold making these investigations any more onerous than the necessities of the case require, it must be remem- bered that, as the employé cannot be- gin his proceeding by an attachment, the investigation must be a real one, and the results must be such as ta justify the commissioner in passing ihe employer as solvent and able ta respond to the demands of the act. financial | Or, he may insure his liability in | this kind | solvency that he wilt | DR. J. J. DONOHUE This| method will necessarily be, In the great mapority of cases, the least simple way of complying with the re- quirements of the acts in this regard. Procedure, Costs. Not earlier than two weeks after the date of the inqury settlement v be made by agreement betwen employer and_emplove, subject to the apifoval of the compensation commissioner. In case of hearings before a com- ings, and parties may appear in per- son or by agent or attorney, if they see fle, Hach party must bear the ex- his own witnesses. No costs may be charged against the other party. Med- fcal fees and attorney fees are subject to the fpproval of the compensaiion commissioner, and in the former case the charges shall not eed those customary in the same locality for per- sons of a like stainding of living. Manner of Service. All notices to be served upon a commissioner or by one party upon the either party, are to be served by registered letter or by personal ser- viee, DENSE SMOKE POURED FROM ATTIC WINDOW Occasioned Call For Fire Department To West Main Street House. The firemen at the West Main Street station discovered dense /volumes of smoke pouring from the house next, west of the station at about 4.45 o'clock Friday afternoon and believing that a lively blaze was under way tel- ephoned to the central station for the autochemical. The house was then investigateq and it was found that the smoke originated in a stove in the at- tic and that bad drafts caused it to fill the room. An open scuttle soon emptied the place of smoke. The rooms are occupied by a Greek who knew nothing of the excitement til he was roused from his bed in an adjoining room. While ¢5ing up Main street hill a rear tire on the autochemical went flat and Yhe machine was sent back to the station while the chemical from the Main Street station w assent by Chief Stanton toithe scemne of the supposed fire.

The town lies on each side of the Bow river, that portion on the north bank being’ built on the high bluffs which border the river. To bridge the river on an in- cline to the top of the bluff would have been to neglect the portion of the city lying at the foot of the bluff. To make a deep cutting would have spoiled much of the property. The problem was solved by constructing a level bridge across the river, and then gaining the heights above by an in- clined tunnel bored through the cliffs. Lieut.
