New Legislation to Benefit Smaller Firms in Ontario 3enefits under the Workmen's Compensation Board will be available to-dn additional severa) thousand workmen employed in small business and industrial op- erations throughout Ontario af- ter January Ist, E. E. Sparrow Compensation Board chairman announced today.

"Objective of the new legisla- tion is to ensure protection for employees as well as employer whether they are engaged in big business or small business. Accidents happen regardless 01 the size of the business, and the man or woman employed in a small shop is, in the opinion of the Compensation Board, entit- led to the same protection as the person working in a big plant, the chairman stated.
