Manufacturers Association Criticises Assessments and Groupings Toronto, Dee. 30.--The assess- ments and groupings of classes made by the Workmen's Compensation Act do not find favor with the Manufac- turers Asrociction. The Compensa- ttion committee 'in a circular which it has issued to the members of the association, terms the plan of assess- ment adopted by the board as "un- just" and one that "takes the money out of the pocket of the employer whether it is heeded or not." The committee would have prefer- red the Washingion system, where assessments are made monthly or quarterly. The committee holds that the Ontario assessments are 'for a year in advance, and even if there are only a few accidents, the rate is not affected. In the Washington act the assessment keeps pace with the dccidents, Attention is drawn in the circular to the fact that while the employer's legal obligatiod# ends when he had paid his assessment to the compensa- tion fund, it js in the interests of manufacturey® and their employees that velunt fair wage organiza- tion be orginized. i r Motor Fees c. 30.--Dpes""'e the announcement in a nmoloring maga- zine to the effect that motor taxes would not be raised in Ontario for 1915 the license fees will be high- er, and mea who now own cars will pay considerably more fcr the pri- vilege.
