subject than now, and we propose not only to
give to legislators, citizens and organizations interested
in the movement this sifted result of the
country's total experience, but also to utilize the
report in drafting a new model workmen's compensation
act to be used as a guide. To Legislatures
convening this year and workmen's compensation
commissions in twelve States studying the
subject, the report has been made immediately
available. It will be used also in an active campaign
to bring about a greater degree of enlightenment
in advance of the large number o ; legislative
sessions to be held next winter.
"The report bears every evidence of a conscientious
effort to present the facts impartially,
with no attempt to offer theories or to make
recommendations. It is believed that it will be
of benefit not only to States which have not yet
enacted workmen's compensation legislation, but
also to those proposing to amend their laws, and
especially in promoting uniformity among the
twenty-two States having such laws."
This volume, which is practically a working
handbook of 200,00 words, may be had, free of
charge, upon application to the Workmen's Compensation
Department of the National Civic Federation,
Thirty-third Floor, Metropolitan Tower,
New York City.
In commenting upon accident prevention, Mr.
Belmont said:
-Two documents, also available gratis, in the
interest of accident prevention, are tin- Civic-
Federation's model safety act and uniform accident
reporting blank.
"The safety act. now reflected particularly in
the factory laws of New York, New Jersey and
Illionis, not only enables State officials to place
responsibility upon employers, but, at the same
time, gives the latter information as to their
obligations in the matter of accident prevention.
"Adequate safeguarding cannot be had without
statistics showing the causes of accidents, and
where they occur in the greatest number. Accuracy
in drawing conclusions from such statistics
depends upon uniformity in collecting them."
