eighth of the injured workmen receive
compensation,'' but ' they have to go .to
law to get it," said- Mr.. Madsen, today.
Under tha proposal jaw every man in
sured gets compensation. There is.no
question' as to whose fault the accident
waa nor who is liable,. ; -.
Under the preaent law, when a work
man in haaardous occupation is Injured
and the Injury results in death, if tha
helra or dependents - cannot - trace ' the
fault to the negligence of the employer,
they become virtually objects of. char
ity. Under the proposed law, the widow
receives $80 per month. for .herself and
l per month for each of her children
Under It years of . age, , with a ; 150
maximum of total compensation.

far aa it goes, because the employers'

the protection of workers, but so far
