Farmer» of Oregon are coming to
realise that insurance for their
workmen against accidento is desir-
able, therefore the State Imiuntrial
Accident Commission han established
a rate for different lines of farmin»
operations under authority of Sec.
31 of the Amended Act passed bv
the last Legislature and which be
came effective July 1. The interest
manifested by farmers is shown bv
th«- l.u-i that up t-> date alx-iit 2IHI
farmers haw availed themselves
of the brew-fits of this act. In a
number of cases men have been in
jured on the farm and the employer
has then made application to come
under the act and sent in remittances
to cover his premiums with the hop«1
that by sn doing the injured man
would be cared for by the state.
This, of course, is important as will
be realized by all readers. It is
similar to insuring a building after
the same has l»*en burned down and
then ex|»-ct to collect the insurance.
Similarly many applications haw
come in from farm hands who have
been injured, for Ix-nefite under th«»
Act. Thev thinking that as long as
they have not rejected the Act they
are entitled to its benefits. How
ever. no protection can be extended
to workmen unless accepted by ap
plication of the employer.
The rate fixed for farming opera
tions in general farming including
all operations incident thereto, 2%
of the payroll. Threshing, clover
hulling, hay and straw tailing. 4%,
prune drying 1%, wood cutting 3%,
land clearing without blasting
with blasting 5%, road work 3%.
In addition to the above the em
ployer is required to collect from
th«- workmen ami remit with his
own contribution one cent a dav
from each workman. In computing
the amount due the commiasion add
815 par month for board when the
men are boarded. For instance, a
farm hand is neid |4i> per month
and board and works 26 days, his
wages would tie 355 tier month.
The premium would be 2% of |55
or 11.10 plus 26 cents to be contri
buted by the workmen, making a
total amount to la* remitted to the
commission of 11.36 for the month.
JT)i» is due and payable on or before
the 15th of the month following
that in which the work is per
formed.
Those farmers desiring to secure
the protection of this Act may do
so by making application to the
commission for application ¿lanks
