COMPENSATION LAW | gal treatment of injured. employees is CHANGES SIGNED ~ BY GOV, MILE Benefits Extended to Marine Workers—Check to Politi- cal Control of Fund, ALBANY, April 14.—Changes of eonsiderable importance are made 4m the dill revising the Workmen's Compensation Law, which has been approved by Gov. Miller. Loop- oles in the old law which allow in- furance carriers and employers to evade compensation insurance are plugged up, and thousands of ship- ping and canal employees, who have Yeretofore been denied relief under @he State law, are brought within ite provisions. ‘The sixty-day iimitation for medi- eliminated and the employer is re- quired to furnish medical care for 46 long a timo as necessary. As & protection to the employer, the phy- sicilan must report to him as to the ature of the injury within twenty days. Provision is made for payment of eompensation for loss of hearing for 160 weeks. The list of occupational fiiseases has been enlarged. Failure to Insure the compensation of em- Ployees is made punishable by a fine @f $500 or by imprisonment for one Year. On the sixbject of non-ingur- @nce Gov. Miller says: “Great difficulty has been experi- @nced in the past in prosecuting non- (sured cmployers due to the inability @f the enforcing authority to obtain Proof that would stand in court of @uch non-insurance, This bill pro- ‘vides that the Commissioner may re- @uire any employer to file with him @ statement with regard to his insur- Bice, and failure to file such infor- mation within ten days shall be deemed presumptive evidence that the ®mployer has not complied with the jaw. Upon any subsequent prosecu- tion, therefore, the burden of proof is on the employer to show that he is insured, The new law stops technical de- Jenses of an insurancé company that ‘accepts a premium for insuring under Rot covered @mendment places on a contractor Mability for compensation for an in- jured employee of a sub-contractor ‘unless the main contractor sees to it that the sub-contractor carries insur- ance, Before public authorities issue permits for work, they must have Proof that the contractor has taken @ut compensation insurance, Labor unions made a determined fight to limit insurance to the State fund, but failed. The new law, how- ever, is designed to make insurance im this fund more attractive to the employer. Obsolete and unworkable Provisions have been eliminated. The fund is permitted to pay its expenses ut of premium income and js not red by legislative restrictions. is @ provision for the appoint- ment by the Governor of an committee to the fund. The Gov~ @rnor says: “Such a committee should disarm @uspicion that the State fund is fanaged for political control and not for the best interests of its policy holders. With its lower rates for sation insurance, the State should be in a position to write @ much greater volume of the com- Pensation insurance than it now does and it is my hope that by its effective ¢ompetition it will become a great Fegulstor of insurance rates in this ‘wf compulsory insurance.” Governor has 200 bills left on this desk. About 175 of these he will veto. —___ GIRL’S NUDE BODY FOUND IN MOUNTAINS Top of Her Skull Was Crashed at Least Nine Months Ago. “The nude body of a woman ap- Parently about nineteen years old, _ with the skull crushed in, was found late yesterday in an isolated spot in the mountains, half a mile from Stony Point, N. ¥.
