your vital ener- gy by taking the best food tonic that you can find. y The first of the noon-day luncheon conducted under the auspices of the Board of Trade this fall and winter 2 * | was given on Wednesday at the Wau- regan house at 1 o'clock where about 50 of the business men of the city came together for luncheon and while they were at the tables listened to an in- structive talk by Morris Penrose, con- mecticut with a Hartford insurance firm, upon the new Workmen's Com- pensation act which is to go into effect on the first of January. President James C. Macpherson of the Board of Trade presided. He made the announcement that Tax Commis- sioner William H. Corbin has promised to address the Board of Trade at a meeting in January. His subject is to be the income tax. For their dinner the business men were seated at small table accom- modating four at each. President Mac- pherson introduced the speaker, who answered various questions about the application and operation of tne law, after he had concluded his regular ad- dress, He Tonic.

A Step in Advance. The present step is an advance. It means a betterment of working condi- tions infinitely greater than could usu- ally be effected by the sums involved. You are compelled to make a small advance in pay, but vou control the expenditure of this sum and know it will be spent only for the relief of the unfortunate. The compensation law is wrongly named. It should be called “The work- men’s compulsory accident insurance law.” Unfortunately we as a nation hate the word “compulsory,” and so adopt a title which is sugared to our taste. Under the new conditions which have arisen in this country will any one dare to say that it is not a good thing for the state to compel the wage earner dependent upon his daily and hourly wage to carry insurance against loss of time from occupational injury? There is hardly an argument against it. Insurance Indirectly Carried. We can effect the desirable result of compelling each worker to carry acci- dent insurance against occupational injuries by an indirect method. We can bring pressure to bear on the em- ployer. We can collect from him at long intervals a specified percentage of his payroll, varying with the hazard of the occupation.” By doing this we can accomplish two things. We can reduce the ultimate cost of the insurance to the community by reducing ti:> over- head costs of coilection and by ap- pealing to the selfish interest of the employer we can induce him (~ duce necessary safeguards, as y S0 doing he will obtain a business advant- age over his less provident competitor, In the final adjustment the cost of the insurance will not fall on the em- ployer, though he may not be able in a moment to adjust himself to new con- Ultimately every employer in the state will be affected and the cost will be alike to each. It will eitaer be met by slightly increased cost of goods or a slightly decreased pe to the worker.

T go into this with you, gentlemen, | because in a day or two you will have to make a choice of methods of insur- | ance for yourself. Before placing your | insurance you should know both the | advantages and disadvantages of any plan which may be submitted to you. Methods of Insurance. Now we people who are selling vou level premium compensation insurance ¥ to you that for a certain definite amount or percentage of your payroll we will obligate ourselves to carry out in_every detail everything you are called upon to do by our new law. In order to make our word good we put | up a large guarantee capital. We under strongest rules to examina- tlons by your insurance commission- er. We pay a certain percentage of | all the premiums we collect to the ! state as a tax. We appoint the in-! surance commissioner our attorney s that In case we fail to carry out any of our contracts made with citizens of the state we can be sued by serving notice on him, Methods of Insurance. Now let me call your attention to another point about our law. The fact that you insure yourself in accordance | with "the law does not operate as a release from liability. If one of vour employees should have the misfortune to be permanently disabled somebody will be obligated to pay him compen- sation for a period of ten vears. If the insurance company has made a mistake and does mot charge enough premium and so is forced out of bus- iness in five or six years you will have to pay the amounts specified by the state.” In effect you become the en- dorser on the note of the insurance company to pay these sums and if they fail to pay, the holder of this note, the man who is injured, will look to you for payment. His claim is a preferred claim, too, and will go ahead of any other indebtedness you may have. The Mutual Plan. Now let us take a look at the mutual | proposition. I know that this sounds | attractive to a good many of you. You think that by forming such assoc tions, as you are allowed to do by the state, you will be able by some hocus pocus to cut down the cost of the insurance and so defeat the rob- ber insurance companies. The first thing necessary in order to get a mutual company in the works would be to get a sufficlent number of people in the same line of business to vome in.

Nominally you are given a dozen letters and reports. There Is a report to the state.
