 INTRODUCTION 
 
 This Digest covers all workmen's compensation statutes in effect, or enacted and about 
 to go into effect, in the United States and territorial possessions. Such laws as have been held 
 unconstitutional by the highest state courts are, of course, not included. 
 
 Largely in response to suggestions received from various quarters in which the usefulness 
 of the Digest has been attested, a number of new headings have been incorporated in the present 
 edition and the treatment in some instances has been amplified so as to cover certain points 
 on which the demand for information has been frequent. 
 
 For example, the question has often arisen, whether the right to compensation for injuries 
 to a minor employee excludes the parent's common law right of action for damages on the ground 
 of loss of services. Whether the law in any particular case is broad enough to cover this point 
 may often be a question of judicial interpretation. For this reason, under the head entitled 
 "WHEN ASSENTING EMPLOYER IS LUBLE FOR DAMAGES", the wording of the statutes 
 has been more closely followed than formerly, in order to afford a measure of guidance as to 
 the probable intent of the legislators. Several of the laws have recently been amended so as 
 clearly to preclude such further liability, and a few decisions bearing on this point have been 
 rendered, which are cited under the head above mentioned. 
 
 Another important question involved in the enforcement of workmen's compensation laws, 
 and which the courts have been called upon to decide, is whether compensation is recoverable 
 for injuries sustained outside of the state. In the column under "EXTRA-TERRITORIAL 
 EFFECT" will be found the available references and citations on this topic. 
 
 A separate column has been added to show "HOW COMPENSATION IS SE- 
 CURED". This was brought out, in previous editions of the Digest, under the head of "Insur- 
 ance", but it has been deemed of sufficient importance to warrant a special column, and especially 
 in view of the fact that there is usually some provision for security, even though there be none 
 for insurance. 
 
 An entire sheet in each section of the Digest is now devoted to the subject of "INSURANCE", 
 with five sub-divisions, so as to segregate for ready reference the various forms of insurance 
 authorized or required, the general provisions governing the insurance contract and the restrictions 
 imposed in the matter of insurance rates and schedules. 
 
 Where the statute contains any reference to occupational diseases, it will be found under 
 the head of "INJURIES COVERED". 
 
 The requirements of each statute as to "POSTING NOTICES" are set forth in the column 
 BO entitled. 
 
 The penalties imposed for violations of, or non-compliance with, statutory provisions 
 are separately noted under the head of "PENALTIES". 
 
 The Digest has been further enriched by the addition of many new case citations, embracing 
 all decisions of the highest courts reported up to October i, 1915, on questions arising under 
 compensation laws. The cases cited herein are limited to decisions by courts of record only, 
 as space could not be given in a work of this kind to the numerous decisions of Boards and Com- 
 missions or of the lower courts. In this connection it is suggested that if no case has been 
 reported from a particular state, in a certain column, the entire Digest be examined, through that 
 column, for decisions of other states on the point in question. Some of the leading English 
 and Canadian cases on compensation matters will be found subjoining the digest of the Federal 
 compensation law. The English cases so far reported already comprise a very volumii<ous record, 
 so that it would be impracticable to enumerate all of them here. An effort has lleen made, 
 however, to assemble some of the most important which have a bearing on similar questions 
 which have been adjudicated in the United States courts. 
 
 DECISIONS ON CONSTITUTIONALITY. 
 
 Several important decisions were handed down in 1915 involving the constitutionality of 
 workmen's compensation laws. The Kentucky Court of Appeals, in a divided opinion, with 
 Chief Justice Hobson and two other justices dissenting, declared the Kentucky workmen's 
 compensation act void on the following grounds : 
 
 I. By imposing severe alternatives on employer and employee in case of their election 
 not to come under the Act (§^32, 34), the law is virtually compulsory on both, and therefore 
 deprives the employer of property without due process of law, and as to the employee, it violates 
 Section 54 of the State Constitution, which withholds from the General Assembly the power to 
 limit the amount recoverable for injury or death.

2. The provision in §43, that no person except sole dependents of the deceased employee 
 shall receive any benefit from the compensation fund, and that if there are no dependents, 
 the amount otherwise payable shall be paid into the compensation fund, is in violation of Section 
 i4i of the State Constitution, which authorizes a recovery of damages by the personal represen- 
 tative of the deceased in every case of death resulting from negligence or wrongful act (Ken- 
 tucky State Journal v. Workmen's Compensation Board, 170 S. W. 1166; dissenting opinion on 
 page 437). On a petition for rehearing denied by the court on January J7, 1915 U72S. W.674), 
 Judge Dorsey added by way of dictum, that provision should be made in the Act for appeal to 
 ■ court of competent jurisdiction for review in all cases where compensation is denied or where 
 a less sum is allowed by^the Board than that claimed by the injured employee. 
 
 The New York compensation law of 1913, which was attacked on constitutional grounds 
 in two proceedings, was sustained by the Court of Appeals in both cases: Jensen v. Southern 
 Pacific Co., J 15 N. Y. 514; Walker v. Clyde Steamship Co., id. 529. In the Jensen case, the 
 appellant sought recovery under the Act for the death of her husband, who was killed while 
 unloading a steamship engaged in interstate commerce. The court held that the Act was so 
 different from the one which was declared invalid in the Ives case (which see, infra), that the 
 latter was not to be deemed a precedent for defeating the present' Act; and, furthermore, that 
 the constitutional amendment of 191J gave full authority for its enactment. Neither did the 
 Act violate the Federal Constitution, the court held, as imposing a burden on interstate commerce 
 or interfering with any CongressioQal regulation thereof. In the Walker case it was claimed 
 that as the accident occurred on a steamship lying alongside a pier in the Hudson River, it was 
 one of admiralty jurisdiction. The court held, however, that as the United States Judicial 
 Code saved to suitors in all cases the right of common law action, it was evident that the juris- 
 diction of admiralty was not exclusive, and that as the Workmen's Compensation Act furnished 
 a substitute for the common law remedy, it did not invade the province of the admiralty courts. 
 
 The Texas compensation law was declared unconstitutional by an^intermediate appellate 
 tribunal on January 30, 1915, but as this decree is not final, the law has been retained in this 
 Digest. The decision comes from the Third Court of Civil Appeals, McLennan County, which 
 held unconstitutional so much of the Act as deprived the employee of what would otherwise be 
 his cause of action against the employer, leaving the remedy optional with the employer and 
 making it compulsory as to the employee whose employer had elected to come under the Act. 
 This provision, the court held, was in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United 
 States Constitution, guaranteeing the equal protection of law to all persons, and of the State 
 Constitution, Article i, Section 3, granting equal rights to all men. This part of the Act, according 
 to the decision, also amounts to a delegation of legislative functions to the employer, allowing 
 him to choose between two radically different systems of law governing his liability to employees, 
 in violation of the State and Federal Constitutions, which vest in the legislature the exclusive 
 power to make laws iMiddleton v. Texas Power & Light Co., 178 S. W. 956]. The Amarillo 
 Court of Civil Appeals, on the other hand, upheld the constitutionality of the Act in Memphis 
 Cotton Oil Co. V. Tolbert, 171 S. W. 309. Both of these cases have been carried to the Texas 
 Supreme Court, but at present writing, decision has not been rendered in either one. 
 
 The only compensation law which has been passed upon by the United States Supreme 
 Court is the Ohio statute, which was upheld in Jeffrey Mfg. Co. v. Blagg 235 U. S. 571, affirming 
 the decision previously rendered by the Ohio Supreme Court (108 N. E. 465). 
 
 CONSTITUTIONAL DEFECTS IN EARLIER LAWS. 
 
 The New York Courts of Appeals, in Ives v. South Buffalo Ry. Co., 201 N. Y. 271, in March, 
 1911, declared unconstitutional a New York Workmen's Compensation Law (Ch. 674, Laws 
 of 1910), on the ground that it subjected the employer to a liability without fault, the imposition 
 of which could not be justified under the police power. The particular objectionable feature 
 of the law, the court pointed out, was the clause making the employer liable for compensation 
 for injuries caused by a necessary risk of the employment or inherent in the nature thereof. 
 
 The Supreme Court of Montana, in Cunningham v. North Western Improvement Co., 
 119 Pac. 554, in November, 191 1, declared unconstitutional the Miners' Compensation Act 
 (Ch. 67, Laws of 1909 <, on the ground that it failed to protect the employer who paid compensation 
 under the Act, from being sued for the injury in an action at law, thus subjecting him to a double 
 liability and thereby denying to him the equal protection of the laws. 
 
 The Supreme Court of Illinois, in Courter v. Simpson Construction Co., 246 HI. 488, in 
 October, 1914, declared invalid the provision of the Illinois Workmen's Compensation Act 
 (figf ), authorizing the Supreme Court to issue a writ of certiorari for the review of decisions 
 of the Industrial Board, as being in violation of the Illinois Constitution, Art. VI, Section 2, which 
 limits the original jurisdiction of the court to cases relating to the revenue, mandamus and habeas 
 corpus. This defect has since been remedied by amendment to the Act providing for such 
 review by the circuit courts. 
 
 Constitutional amendments to permit of compulsory workmen's~compensation laws have 
 been adopted in California (1911), Ohio (1912) and New York (1913). A proposed amend- 
 ment of this character will be submitted to the voters of Pennsylvania at the November (1915) 
 election. These amendments, of course, do not atfect the provisions of the Federal Constitution. 
 
 THE LEGISLATIVE RECORD FOR 1915. 
 
 The amount of legislation enacted or introduced in the year 1915, on workmen's compen- 
 sation or matters relating thereto, indicates the increasing attention which this subject is re- 
 
ceiving throughout the ccunlry. It was only five years ago, in igio, that New York took the lead 
 in enacting a workmen's compensation law of general application. The following yearJUiaois, 
 Kanses, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Washington and Wi- '• ■ ^ II 
 into line; followed in 1912 by Arizona, Michigan and Rhode Island; in 1913 by 1,- 
 
 Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, West Virginia and .;^„ .„ik 
 for the second time; in 1914 by Kentucky, Louisiana and Maryland. 
 
 During the past year eight states— Colorado, Indiana, Maine,'Montana, Oklahoma, Penn- 
 sylvania, Vermont and Wyoming— and two territories— Alaska and Hawaii— placed a compensa- 
 tion law on their statute books. In twelve other states —Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, 
 Missouri, North and South Carolina, North and South Dakota, New Mexico, Tennessee and 
 Utah — one or more compensation bills were introduced, but failed of passage. In fourteen 
 states — California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New 
 Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin— the exist- 
 ing compensation laws were amended in 1915. 
 
 Apart from the strictly amendatory laws, twenty-five measures were enacted to supplement 
 or modify the workmen's compensation laws in the following states: Colorado, Coimecticut, 
 Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. 
 Most of these laws relate either to insurance of compensation or to some administrative phase 
 of the act affected, and as to the more important of them, appropriate reference is contained in 
 this Digest. 
 
 SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION LAWS IN THE UNITED STATES. 
 
 Workmen's compensation laws are now in force in thirty-one states and two territories, 
 as follows : Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, 
 Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, 
 Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, 
 Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. In 
 addition to these, a Federal compensation law has been enacted by Congress to cover arttsans 
 and laborers in the employ of the United States Government. 
 
 In t^i^tfpn states and one territory (Alaska, Colorado, Coimecticut, Illinois, Kansas, 
 Massii Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont 
 
 and W la) the law is optional, or "elective" as to all classes of employers affected. 
 
 In ten states (Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, 
 Pennsylvania and Wisconsin] the law is elective as to private employers, but compulsory as to 
 public employers, such as the state, counties, mimicipalities, etc. 
 
 In eight states and one territory (Arizona, California}, Hawaii, Maryland, New York, Ohio, 
 Oklahoma, Washington and Wyoming) the law is compulsory as to public and private employers. 
 Wew York has two laws in operation, one of which (Chapter 352, Laws 1910) is elective, and 
 the other (Chapter 816, Laws 1913), compulsory — covering the hazardous employments enu- 
 merated. 
 
 In twenty-four states and one territory (Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, 
 Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, 
 New York,* Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont. t Wash- 
 ington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming) the employer who elects or is coL.pelled to 
 pay compensation must either secure the payment thereof to his employees, or demonstrate 
 his financial ability to pay losses without insurance. 
 
 In seven states and one territory (Alaska, Arizona, California, Kansas, Louisiana, Minne- 
 sota, Nebraska and New Jersey , insurance or other security is optional. 
 
 In four states (Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming) insurance is compulsory in 
 a "fund" administered (but not guaranteed) by the state. 
 
 In seven states (California, Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New York and 
 Pennsylvania), there is a state insurance hmd which competes with private companies; while 
 in two states, Ohio and West Virginia, which also maintain state insurance funds, employers 
 are permitted to assume their own hazard under very stringent regulations, and after being 
 accorded such a right, they are, by implication at least, permitted to insure that hazard in private 
 companies. 
 
 In two states (Massachusetts and Texas) insurance is compulsory either in private com- 
 panies or in a semi-state mutual association. 
 
 In the following sixteen states and two territories compensation insurance is written solely 
 by duly licensed private companies, there being neither competitive nor monopolistic state 
 funds nor semi-state mutuals :— Alaska, Arizona, Comieclicut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, 
 Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, 
 Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.

 An employer subject to compensation features 
 of Act is liable to employee of contractor or 
 sub-contractor not subject thereto and who 
 has not insared, in any case where he would 
 be liable if such employee were working 
 direct'y for him; but he may recover over 
 from contractor or sulxontractor. Con- 
 tractor or sub-contractor is also liable to 
 emp!oy(?e directly: but employee may not 
 recover from more than one party (§2394-6). 
 State, county or municipality may require 
 a bond from a contractor for protection 
 against compensation to employees of the 
 latter ({2394-7 (11). 
 
 Liability for compensation excludes any other 
 liability whatsoever against employer for 
 injuries sustained, if both employer and em- 
 ployee have elected to come under the Act 
 (§2394-3). Milwaukee t. Althoff. 14S N. W.
