PENSATH3N ACI
The Workingmen't Compensation
Act, one of the four measures to be
submitted to the people at the special
referendum election to be held Novem
ber 4, was drafted by a commission
composed of A. T. Buxton, II. G.
Starkweather, and B. G. Leedy. repre
senting the Grange; J. A. Madsen,
William A. Marshall and R. A. Harris,
representing Labor, and Geo. M. Corn
wall, Amedee M. Smith and James B.
Kerr, representing the Employers. The
bill drafted by - this commission was
passed by the legislature by an almost
unanimous vote was promtply approved
by .Governor West, and would have
' gone into effect June 3, 1913, had it
not .been held up by a referndum peti
tion, which was filed by W, E. Farn.ll,
of the firm Davis & Fane II, a Portland
law firm with a Urge personal Injury
practice.
The act provides that any employe
of any employer subject to the act, or
his dependents in case o death, shall
be entitled t6 compensation according to
the schedule contained In the act on
account of any injury sustained in the
course of his employment, regardless
of the cause of the Injury, whether
the result of negligence or otherwise,
save only the willful act of the work
man committed for the purpose of sus
taining the injury. The schedule fixes
various amounts, depending upon the
severity of the injury, and in case of
death depending on the number and
relationship of the presons depend
ent on the deceased.
The advantage of this plan to the
workman and his family will be ap
parent when it is recalled that under
the Employers' Liability method, now
in vogue, only about one workman out
of eight has a claim for damages. The
compensation provided by the Act is
exclusive and neither the workman nor
his dependents have any claim aganist
the employer, unless the emlpoyer has
refused after demand to pay his re
required contribution to the fund or un
less the commission entrusted with the
administration of the Act determines
that the employer has violated the gen
eral statutes of the State with respect
to some safety appliance and the injury
has resulted from such violation.
The fund from which compensation
is to be paid, is made up from the fol
lowing sources. Three-fourths to be
paid by the employer, one-eighth by
the worktnsn.and one-eightb by the
state. For a short period, and until a
surplus required for the necessary se
cruity is provided, all employers pay at
the same rate, but therefater the pay
ments depend upon the care exercised
by each employer and the number and
the number and extent of the accidents
occurring In his plan or works.
For the purposes of the Act, the
hazadrous occupations enumerated are
divided into two classes, A and B. In
class A the employer is required to
contribute until he has paid in and has
to his credit an amount equal to three
per cent of his annual payroll. When
he has this amount to his credit his ob
ligation to make further payments
ecases. If, however, his own workmen
sustain accidents requiring payments
to them out of the general fund, the
employer's obligation to resume pay
ments' at once arises until he has once
more establised a surplus of 3 per cent
of bit annual payroll. No account,
however, is taken of payments on ac
count of any employer's workmen.

amounting to over 6 per cent of his
payroll in any one year, for a serious
accident might require him . to pay
thereafter indefinitely. The result is
that under no circumstances can an em
ployer be required to pay more than 3
per cent of bis payroll in any one year,
nor can it single accident, or series of
accidents, no matter how serioui pre
vent him from securing complete ex
eruption from payments if no further
accidents occur at the end of two
years.
In class B, comprising the less haz
ardous occupations, the right of the
exemption is required us soon as the
employer has to his credit a surplus of
1 1-2 per cent of his annual payroll. .
That limit of liability is appreciated
by emplyocrs is shown ly a recent let
ter from F. W. Hillsdale, chief auditor
of the Industrial Insurance Commission
of Washington, where a similar law
has been in effect for two years. Mr.
Hillsdale says: "Washington em
ployers generaly are thoroughly pleased
with the Act and fiud it a great relief
to be freed from tee hazards of indi
vidual liability and the distressing con
dition that prevailed under the system
of carrying liablity insurance. The
improvement in yie relations between
the employer and the workman is very
marked, as the workman finds a friend
in his employer, after an accident has
occurred, rather than rinding him stand
aloof in an unfriendly attitude, while
a reprseentative of some liability com
pany endeaovrs either to altogether
deny liability, or offer an entirely in
adequate settlement.
It is certain that under no circum
stances would either the employers, r
the workmen of Washington consent to
have the Workmen's Compensation Act
stricken from the statutes of this
State."
Under the system in vogue in Oregon
at the present time, probably not more
than 12 or 15 per cent of all the 28,000
injured employes could have recovered
damages for their injuries, in the
courts, and experience shows that at
least one-half of the amonut so re
covered wnuld have gone to the at
torneys and for other items of expense
that are a necessary part of the lia
bility system. Figures compiled by the
Oregon Bnreau of Labor show that in
the monh of July 372 persons were in
jured in the industries of this state
and that in five cases the injuries ter
minated fatally. In August there were
308 injured and eight killed. An
average of one life each day is the
price paid by labor for the conduct and
up tuilding of industry in Oregon. In
Washington, with its more varied and
extensive industries, one life is lost
every other day in the year. To critics
of the compensation system who assert
that it is new and untried, students of
industrial and economic matters reply
that Germany has had the syt-tcm in
successful operation since 1 J?S4. that
Austria. Norway, England, France and
other nations followed Germany's lead
in rapid succession and that now prac
tically all of Europe and 22 states of
the American Union, have discarded
the pauper producing employer's lia
bility system and are operating under
the compensation principle, guarantee
ing automatic compensation to the in
jured and financial independence to the
widows and children of the men who
lay down their lives in industry.
The Oregon Compensation Act itself,
and not the referendum, is on trial.
The question is "Shall the bill pass?"'
Those in favor of the bill should vote
308 X yes. Referring to this referen
dum petitior, the Portland Journal de
clares, "There has never been more
ntorciutis abuse of the referendum."
