PAYIEN T OF FEES TO ACCIDENT FUND TEMPORARILY OFF Exemption for Three Months Al lowed Employers and Employes as Surplus Is Now Sufficient. SAVING; TO BE $600,000 Order, Coming at Time When Re sources Are Needed, to Mean Much to' Businesses Affected. Balem. March 2J. Notice was issiild today by the tate industrial accident commission that employers and . em ployes operating- under the workmen's compensation law, who meet require ments provided by the law win be ex- r nation- fund for the months of April, May and June. , -It Is estimated by Chairman Allen of fw "he accident commission that this ex emption will relieve employers ana era , ployes from payments which would have totaled more than $800,000. It Is pointed out that this exemption, eomltig at a . time when , resources are needed for the revival of industries, will mean a great deal to the firms affected. c - - Exemptions were also allowed for Jan nary -and March of this-year. v? 7MThisis the first time since the com peneatlon law, became effective that-an exemptions covering more than a single month at one time has been, declared by the commission, and Is made possible - because of the surplus that has accumu lated in the Industrial accident fund : during the past year, this surplus being : sufficient to meet all expenses and sti- . mated awards to be mads by the com . mission during the three month period for which the exemptions have been : declared." said Chairman Allen. "It is . notable- in this connection that the ad- minlBtrative expense of the commission, since the date the law became effective, has been but 6.17 per cent of .the re- oeipts. alt other money coming- into the : fund being- available for the payment of claims to injured workmen. . "The : last legislature, at tne sugges tion of the commission, changed the sys tem of exemptions and, after the begin ning of thevnew fiscal year, July 1. 1919, no. further monthly exemptions , will be declared. In lieu thereof, any accumu lated: surplus will be credited annually ViM the contributors, each being given credit for the proportion bis payments daring the year bear to the entire amounUAThls will work out more equit ably to i those employers who did not have' continuous payrolls, and who were therefore not in a position to receive ereditxuhder the monthly exemption plaiU v. ; CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.
