Secretary Garnett announced that no reports of accidents In hazard ous industries had been made to the Commission today, and that the first reports of Injuries to workman prob ably would be received Friday. Declaring that the action would con stitute an agreement to indemnify em ployers against unlawful acts, State Insurance Commissioner Ferguson to day notified McCarger, Bates & Lively, of Portland, that he would penalize companies writing policies for the pro tection of employers against damages for injuries to workmen in cases where the accidents were caused by deliberate intention. Section 22 of the workmen s compen sation act provides that If Injury or death results to a workman from de liberate intention of his employer, his dependents may come under the act and also sue for damages. McCarger. Bates & Lively are said to be offering insurance covering such claims. In his letter to the firm, Mr. Ferguson said, in part: -"I agree fully with the expressed opinion of the Attorney-General of this state that any contract wherein one person agrees to save another harmless against such other's unlawful or crim inal acts or breach of duty, is void and unenforclble as being contrary to public policy. "The claims against which you pro pose to protect employers, under para graphs two and three of your proposed plan 'A would be due to acts on the part of the assured which are a crlm under the provisions of our law. therefore feel that such a contract would be Illegal, and am not willing that any company may issue such a contract in this territory. Should I find any company issuing a contract containing those provisions la this ter ritory, I shall feel It my duty to penal ize such company."
