Book Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Compensation for Injuries to Workmen, Vol. 1 of 2: Under Modern, Industrial Statutes It is both a duty and a pleasure to acknowledge the indebtedness of the author to the various officials and boards charged with the administration of the law in the various states and the officials of the Department of Commerce and Labor, for many courtesies and substan tial help in the preparation of this work. These services have been freely rendered and have largely consisted in the careful and painstaking reading of the proof of the chapters relating to their respective jurisdictions, in the tender of the useful sets of forms with which these chapters are enriched, and many valuable suggestions as to the presentation of the subject-matter of the work. The author likewise acknowledges his indebtedness to the Department of Commerce and Labor for the use he has been able to make of the material assembled by the department in its fourth special report written and edited by the scholarly John Graham Brooks. He is under similar obligations to R. J. Cary for his Brief on the Power of Congress in Respect to Industrial Insur ance, and to the writings of Charles R. Henderson on Industrial Insurance.
