THE COST OF THE ACCIDENTS. The report of the Ontario Work- men's Compensation Board for the | year 1921 shows that the total num- ber of accidents in industrial, muni- cipal government employment was 45,191, for which there was paid out as medical aid, compensation and pensions $5,526,469.50 What this means to workingmen and their fami- lies is fully updegretood when it is | S'ated that the fufids available fot re- iilef are not contributed by them but by the industries assessed under the | Ontario Act, the administration of which costs but two dollars of every dollars paid in. The average assessment upon :he indus- and one hundred tries for the year was $1.93 for each | { $100 of pay roll, and the su eriority | of the Ontario compensation act over that of other countries is based upon | the fact that for every $100 paid in, | $98 is paid out in the form of medical | ald, compensation and pensions. Ot the money available for distri- | by the Compensation Board | by | ».831.37 by | $4,488,725.02 was contributed 17,917 firms and $1.3; municipalities, transportation com- panies, etc. As the amount to be collected annually depends upon 'he | number and seriousness of the acel- dents, the importance of prevention is apparent. For this purpose the Board grants assistance to safety as- soclations, It is shown that Jess 'han «| Onetthird of all accidents are due to | machinery, and the remaining two- thirds can be prevented by general habits of carefulness. portion of accidents happen to new men on the job, thus showing 'he for the co-operation workmen, foremen and managers. The annual casualty list is a very heavy one, and the sufferers are very numerous. The only redeeming fea- necessity {ture is that some reef is provided | for all accidents that happen in in- dustries covered by the act. When a workman fs killed or injured in his: employmen*, justice as well as hu- manity requires that some recom- pense shall be made. The Ontario law is the most liberal in Canada, but | {while we thus releve and mitigate results of accidents, ployers are called upon to furnish the money, it is impossible to make good '0 the workmen and their depend- ents the monetary loss, to say noth. No loss may be borne by workmen employers, the. result waste, and systematic and is economic prevention | ought to be aimed at. -- re -- IS SOCIETY TOPHEAVY. A member of the Quebec legisla- ture complains that the people are oppressed by the professional classes, yers and doctors as being a burden upon the producers of the country. The speaker neglected to support | his assertions by any intelligent an- enjoys talking alysis justifying his conclusions, for | wi neither of these professions could vice demanded by the people, The question is one that calls for a close study of social conditionggen- erally in order to determine the pro- per relationship of the various life callings and the value one to the other.
