New Accident Insurance Rates ;
EMPLOYERS who are operating under the industrial com
pensation act and paying premiums to the state com
mission administering the accident fund received a bad jolfr
goes into effect July 1st. The new scale is sharply higher in
nearly all divisions. Coming at a time when industry is run-
ning on slow bell And when all costs are being pared to the
bone the increase gives a cold shower to operators o indus
trial plants. Increases run as high as 100. Some are 50;
in a few there are no changes. The highest rate is $25.00 per
100 of payroll, for fireworks manufacturing, or 25 of the
payroll goes for accident insurance. ,
Under the law employers may withdraw from .the pro
" visions of the act if they file notice of withdrawal by April
1st $ome employers are consulting private casualty insur
ance firms to see if a saving could be made by switching to
private insurance. Concerns may file notice of withdrawal
and have until July 1st to withdraw this notice if they later
. decide to remain under the state compensation act
: To show what some of the rates are under the new
scale, compared with the present and former scales the fol
lowing examples are chosen: .
