Senate Bill No. 2H, being the Oc
cupational Disease Bill, was passed
by both Houses after a conference
committee had agreed on a compro
mise amendment.
The original bill introduced and
passed in the Senate was amended
in the House to conform more nearly
to the Ohio Act. The Senate refused
to concur on the House amendments,
and the bill went to conference com
mittee. The committee recommended
amendments that were a compromise
but still followed the general plan of
the Ohio Act.
Both Houses passed the bill by an
overwhelming vote and it the Gov
