COMPENSATION FOR ACCIDENTS TO EMPLOYEES OF
THE UNITED STATES.
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY.
By the act of May 30, 1908 (35 U. S. Stat. L., p. 556), entitled “An
act granting to certain employees of the United States the right to
receive from it compensation for injuries sustained in the course of
their employment/’ the United States Government established a
system of compensation for industrial accidents for the majority of
its industrial employees, this being the first general accident compen
sation law in this country.
This act came into effect August 1, 1908, and this report presents
data for the first five completed years of its operations. As enacted
this law covered artisans and laborers in manufacturing establish
ments, arsenals, and navy yards, river and harbor and fortification
work, hazardous employment in the reclamation of arid lands and
under the Isthmian Canal Commission. It was later extended to
include all employees under the Isthmian Canal Commission and to
take in employees in the Bureau of Mines, the Lighthouse Service,
and the Forestry Service engaged in hazardous employment, and is
estimated to embrace at the present time approximately 95,000
persons, or somewhat less than one-fourth of the civilian employees
of the United States.
The law is a pioneer one in this country as a general compensation
measure, though a form of compensation had been allowed for
injured railway mail clerks and employees in the Life-Saving Service
for some years. While differing in form from the compensation laws
enacted in the States, it must be regarded as having had a measure
of influence in the direction of the enactment of such legislation, and
since® the enactment of this law 24 States have made provision for
compensation in some form or other.
The administration of this act is committed to the Secretary of
Labor, the consequent duties in connection therewith being per
formed in a large measure by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. An
amendment of the act bearing date of March 4, 1911, transferred the
duty of administration, so far as it affects employees of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, to the chairman of that commission; as a matter

of statistical completeness, however, the operations under the act on
the Isthmus are annually reported to the Department of Labor and
are combined with the reports of operations in other establishments.
T^e number of accidents reported in all departments during the
firso year (11 months) was 4,887, for the second year 6,989, rising to
9,381 in the third year, to 10,157 (computed) inthefourth, and to 10,876
in the fifth, making a total of 42,290 for the 5 years. Of the total
number of accidents, 1,006 were reported as fatal, the numbers for
the 5 years being 233, 231, 207, 218, and 117, respectively. Approx
imately 10 per cent of these fatalities were in occupations not sub
ject to compensation under this or any other law. The number of
claims increased from 1,818 for the first year1 to 3,526 for the fifth,
the total for the period covered by the report being 14,963. Of this
total, 14,046 were allowed, 911 were disallowed, and 6 were not acted
upon. The total paid out as compensation amounted to $1,803,923.27.
The payments for the first year (11 months) were approximately
$243,000, for the second year $337,000, for the third year $411,000,
for the fourth $435,000, and for the fifth $378,000.
The basis of the accident reporting is much broader tiian that for
compensation, the Secretary of Labor having made a request of all
Government offices that they should report cases of accident arising
in the course of employment causing disability for one day or longer.
Nearly one-half of the accidents and of the compensation paid refer
to employment under the Isthmian Canal Commission, with its
25,000 to 30,000 employees, largely unskilled, and working under
conditions involving a high degree of hazard.
The law is restricted not only to certain classes of employment, but
also to accidents causing disability in excess of 15 days. Injuries
resulting from the negligence or misconduct of the injured person are
not compensated, and claims on account of death must be filed
within 90 days. It is obvious that employees in establishments not
covered by the provisions of the act will refrain from making claims
for compensation when that fact is known, so that the number of
claims submitted will be affected to some extent by the injured per
son’s estimate as to the probability of his securing relief in this way.
Thus, of the number of claims rejected on account of the occupation
not being covered by the act, there were 45 in the first year,134 in the
second, 29 in the third, 21 in the fourth, and 23 in the fifth, while
failure to furnish sufficient evidence to support the claim was the
ground for rejecting 15 claims the first year,1 48 claims the second,
89 in the third, 100 in the fourth, and 25 in the fifth. Negli
gence or misconduct of the injured workman prevented recovery in
109 cases during the 5 years.
1 Eleven months.

COMPENSATION UNDER ACT OF M A Y 30, 1908.

The basis of compensation payments is the injured workman's
wages, the amount awarded being the same as the rate of such wages
during disability, not exceeding one year, or, in fatal cases, an amount
equal to one year’s wages of the deceased workman. The amount
paid for fatal cases approximated 18 per cent of the total amount
during the first three years, falling to about 15 per cent the fourth
year, and 10 per cent the fifth. The average payment per fatal case
was $704 for the first year,1 $633 for the second, $595 for the third,
$681 for the fourth, and $661 for the fifth. For nonfatal compen
sated accidents the average amount paid the first year1was $121, for
the second year $113, for the third year $120, for the fourth $109,
and for the fifth $107. The Isthmian Canal Commission is chargeable
with by far the largest amount of costs for compensation, the Nav}r
Department ranking next, the War Department standing third, and
the Interior Department fourth.
The distribution of costs on the basis of the period of disability for
the third year shows approximately 38.7 per cent of all costs expended
for injuries causing disability for not over three months, while cases
lasting three months but not over six months absorbed 8.7 per cent
of the amount paid for compensation for the year. Cases causing
disability for more than six months required 35.0 per cent of the total
amount, while fatal cases required but 17.7 per cent of the total cost.
By reason of the fact that compensation for nonfatal accidents ter
minates on the recovery of the injured person to an extent sufficient
to allow him to resume work, but little can be determined from the
data of this report as to the results of accidents causing permanent
partial disability, nor is there any accurate information as to the
effects of accidents causing a disability for over one year, since at the
end of the compensation period, which can not exceed one year, the
accounts of the injured persons are closed and no further record kept
of them, so far as this act is concerned.
While a very considerable number of serious injuries were debarred
from compensation under this act because of the restrictions of its
applications, the failure to recognize permanent partial disability on
a different basis from disability from which complete recovery may
be anticipated, results in very inadequate compensation of such cases.
Thus, fractures of an arm or leg led to payments in amounts less than
$25, the loss of an eye in amounts varying between $25 and $50, and in
a case of the loss of a right arm the injured workman was entitled to
a payment of less than $50, while in three cases of the loss of both
legs, occurring during the third year, the average compensation was
$377.40. These small amounts were due to the fact that compen-

sation payments (limited to usual wages) must cease when the
injured employee is able to resume work, and in any case not continue
beyond 12 months.
In view of the wide range of employments covered by the act it is
but natural to expect to find a large variety of causes of accident.
The use of railroad transportation in work on the Isthmus cooperates
with the hazards of railway emplo3^ees to make railway operations the
leading cause of accident. One of the most frequent causes of injury
is the collapse and fall of materials, while falls of the person injured
are likewise a very frequent cause. The use of hand tools and simple
instruments ranks above the use of working machinery using power as
a cause of injury, but this is doubtless due to the fact that the number
of workers with such tools is much larger than the number of machine
workers.
Considering the report as a whole, it is of special interest as show
ing the results of the operations of a law which was enacted to relieve
the situation of a class of employees who were without legal redress,
and which, despite its incompleteness, has been one of great benefit to
a very considerable number of injured employees and their dependents.
This report is of special interest at this time in view of the move
ment for the amendment of the law and its extension to cover all
employees of the United States and to provide compensation for all
accidents (including occupational diseases) resulting in death or dis
ability continuing for more than three days. The fact that the bill
providing for these changes has received a favorable report from the
House Committee on the Judiciary after extended hearings makes
the record of the experience under the existing law of more than usual
value in the consideration of the details of this proposed legislation.
BRIEF
ACCOUNT
OF
FEDERAL ACCIDENT-COMPENSATION
LEGISLATION.
LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
The act of May 4, 1882 (22 U. S. Stat. L., p. 57), introduced a
system of compensation not only for accidental injuries but also for
disease contracted in the line of duty for certain employees of the
Life-Saving Service. Sections 7 and 8 of this act read as follows:
S e c . 7. If any keeper or member of a crew of a life-saving or lifeboat station shall be
so disabled by reason of any wound or injury received or disease contracted in the LifeSaving Service in the line of duty as to unfit him for the performance of duty, such dis
ability to be determined in such manner as shall be prescribed in the regulations of the
service, he shall be continued upon the rolls of the service and entitled to receive his
full pay during the continuance of such disability, not to exceed the period of one year,
unless the general superintendent shall recommend, upon a statement of facts, the ex
tension of the period through a portion or the whole of another year, and said recommen
dation receive the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury as just and reasonable;
w o r k m e n ' s c o m p e n s a t io n
under
ACT OF MAY 30, 1908.
11
but in no case shall said disabled keeper or member of a crew be continued upon the
rolls or receive pay for a longer period than two years.
S e c . 8 (as amended by act of March twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred and eight).
If any keeper or member of a crew of a life-saving or lifeboat station shall hereafter
die by reason of perilous service or any wound or injury received or disease con
tracted in the Life-Saving Service in the line of duty, leaving a widow, or a child
or children under sixteen years of age, or a dependent mother, such widow and
child or children and dependent mother shall be entitled to receive, in equal
portions, during a period of two years, under such regulations as the Secretary of the
Treasury may prescribe, the same amount, payable quarterly as far as practicable,
that the husband or father or son would be entitled to receive as pay if he were
alive and continued in the service: Provided, That if the widow shall remarry at any
time during the said two years, her portion of said amount shall cease to be paid to
her from the date of her remarriage, but shall be added to the amount to be paid to
the remaining beneficiaries under the provisions of this section, if there be any; and
if any child shall arrive at the age of sixteen years during the said two years, the pay
ment of the portion of such child shall cease to be paid to such child from the date on
which such age shall be attained, but shall be added to the amount to be paid to the
remaining beneficiaries, if there be any.
The system of compensation provided for in this law grants full
pay in case of disability, for a term not exceeding two years, and
compensation equal to two years7 pay to the widow and children in
case the injury or disease terminates fatally. All cases of injuries or
diseases contracted in line of duty are compensated. No provision
is made for raising any question of negligence to which the injury may
be due.
The number of cases compensated under this system and the
amount of compensation paid during the fiscal years 1908-9 (11
months), 1909-10,1910-11,1911-12 and 1912-13 are shown on page 44.
RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
A compensation system, in general similar to the above, exists in
the Post Office Department for the benefit of railway postal clerks.
The Post Office Department appropriation act for 1901, approved on
June 2, 1900 (31 U. S. Stat. L., p. 259), contained for the first time
the following item:
For acting clerks in place of clerks injured while on duty, $25,000.
This permitted the continuance of salaries to injured clerks during
the term of their disability, the maximum period for such payments
being in practice restricted to one year, virtually establishing a sys
tem of compensation for nonfatal injuries. In the next (second)
session of the Fifty-sixth Congress the appropriation for the same
purpose was increased to $35,000.
The Post Office Department appropriation act for 1903, passed in
the first session of the Fifty-seventh Congress, extended the system
to include a lump-sum benefit of $1,000 to the survivors of railway
mail clerks fatally injured while on duty, by the following language.
12
B U L L E T IN
OF T H E
BUREAU
OF L A B O R S T A T IS T IC S .
For acting clerks, in place of clerks 1 injured while on duty, and to enable the
Postmaster General to pay the sum of $1,000, which shall be exempt from the payment
of debts of the deceased, to the legal representatives of any railway postal clerk or sub
stitute railway postal clerk wTho shall be killed while on duty or who, being injured
while on duty, shall die within one year thereafter as the result of such injury, $45,000.
The amount appropriated was found insufficient, and a deficiency
appropriation of $40,000 was made during the second session. The
amount appropriated for the fiscal year 1904 was $75,000, following
which was another deficiency appropriation of $20,000 made during
the session of 1903-4, and the sum of $110,000 was appropriated for
the year ending June 30, 1905. Since that date the appropriation has
been made at a uniform rate of $100,000, until the appropriation for
the year ending June 30, 1912, when $120,000 was set aside for the two
purposes of employing acting clerks and of paying compensation for
accidents. The appropriation act for the year ending June 30, 1913,
set aside $130,000 for these purposes and provides that when disa
bility continues for a part or all of a second year after injury 50 per
cent of the injured clerk’s salary shall be paid him during such con
tinuance. Sea post olerks are by the same act granted the same
benefits as are allowed railway postal clerks. The appropriation act
for the fiscal year 1911, approved May 12, 1910, increased the amount
payable in case of fatal accidents to $2,000.
The present system, therefore, provides for disability compensation
equal to full pay for the period of disability but not to exceed one
year, for half-pav for a second year if disability continues, and in case
of the injury resulting fatally a lump-sum payment of $2,000 to the
legal representatives of the deceased.
Under the existing legislation the following regulations have been
promulgated by the Post Office Department:
S e c . 1424. Whenever a railway postal clerk shall be disabled while in the actual
discharge of his duties by a railroad or other accident beyond his power to control, he
shall send to the division superintendent a certificate of his attending physician or
surgeon, sworn to before an officer authorized to administer oaths, who has an official
seal, setting forth the nature, extent, and cause of his disability, and the probable
duration of the same; and such further evidence as to the character of the disability
as may be necessary shall be furnished.
(2) The division superintendent will forward the certificate, with his recommenda
tion, to the General Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service, who will submit the
matter to the Postmaster General, who may, in his judgment, the facts justifying such
action, grant such disabled clerk leave of absence with pay for periods of not exceeding
sixty days each, and not exceeding one year in all.
(3) A sworn statement from the attending physician must accompany every appli
cation for additional leave.
The amounts paid under these rules during the fiscal years 1908-9,
1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12, and 1912-13 are printed on page 45.

BILLS FOR A GENERAL ACT.
In the first session of the Fifty-ninth Cougress (1905-6) two bills
were introduced in the Senate for the purpose of extending the prin
ciple of compensation to other employees of the Government, this
being the beginning of the movement to that end. Neither of these
bills became law, and the first session of the Sixtieth Congress saw
as many as 14 bills introduced, one of which was in the Senate, the
others being presented in the House. A list of these bills is given in

ate on May 21, May 25, and May 27, and amended in many impor
tant details, though the general plan was left unchanged. The most
important amendment was that extending its scope in a few direc
tions beyond that contemplated in the original bill. It was stated
by Mr. Alexander on the floor of the House that “ the purpose of
this bill is to compensate Government employees engaged in hazard
ous occupations.” “ Such employment/' Mr. Alexander proceeded,
“ is practically confined to arsenals, navy yards, manufacturing estab
lishments (such as arsenals, clothing depots, shipyards, proving
grounds, powder factories, and so forth), to construction of river
and harbor work, and to work upon the Isthmian Canal.” The bill,
accordingly, included only those enumerated branches of service.
In the Senate, however, “ fortification work” and “ hazardous em
ployment in construction work in the reclamation of arid lands”
were added. The minimum length of duration of disability giving
rise to right for compensation was reduced from 30 days to 15; the
clause penalizing for attempt to defraud under this law was elimi
nated as unnecessary, and the date of going into effect was changed
from July 1, 1908, to August 1, 1908, to allow time for preparation
of the necessary administrative machinery. The text of the act
follows:
S e c t io n 1. That when, on or after August first, nineteen hundred and eight, any
person employed by the United States as an artisan or laborer in any of its manufao
turing establishments, arsenals, or navy yards, or in the construction of river and
harbor or fortification work or in hazardous employment on construction work in the
reclamation of arid lands or the management and control of the same, or in hazardous
employment under the Isthmian Canal Commission, is injured in the course of such
employment, such employee shall be entitled to receive for one year thereafter, unless
such employee, in the opinion of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, be sooner
able to resume work, the same pay as if he continued to be employed, such payment
to be made under such regulations as the Secretary of Commerce and Labor may pre
scribe: Provided, That no compensation shall be paid under this act where the injury
is due to the negligence or misconduct of the employee injured, nor unless said injury
shall continue for more than fifteen days. All questions of negligence or misconduct
shall be determined by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
S e c . 2 . That if any artisan or laborer so employed shall die during the said year by
reason of such injury received in the course of such employment, leaving a widow, or
a child or children under sixteen years of age, or a dependent parent, such widow and
child or children and dependent parent shall be entitled to receive, in such portions
and under such regulations as the Secretary of Commerce and Labor may prescribed,
the same amount, for the remainder of the said year, that said artisan or laborer would
be entitled to receive as pay if such employee were alive and continued to be employed:
Provided, That if the widow shall die at any time during the said year her portion of
said amount shall be added to the amount to be paid to the remaining beneficiaries
under the provisions of this section, if there be any.
S e c . 3 . That whenever an accident occurs to any employee embraced within the
terms of the first section of this act, and which results in death or a probable incapacity
for work, it shall be the duty of the official superior of such employee to at once report

15
such accident and the injury resulting therefrom to the head of his bureau or indepen
dent office, and his report shall be immediately communicated through regular official
channels to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. Such report shall state, first, the
time, cause, and nature of the accident and injury and the probable duration of the
injury resulting therefrom; second, whether the accident arose out of or in the course
of the injured person’s employment; third, whether the accident was due to negligence
or misconduct on the part of the employee injured; fourth, any other matters required
by such rules and regulations as the Secretary of Commerce and Labor may prescribe.
The head of each department or independent office shall have power, however, to
charge a special official with the duty of making such reports.
S e c . 4 . That in the case of any accident which shall result in death, the persons
entitled to compensation under this act or their legal representatives shall, within
ninety days after such death, file with the Secretary of Commerce and Labor an
affidavit setting forth their relationship to the deceased and the ground of their claim
for compensation under the provisions of this act. This shall be accompanied by the
certificate of the attending physician setting forth the fact and cause of death, or the
nonproduction of the certificate shall be satisfactorily accounted for. In the case of
incapacity for work lasting more than fifteen days, the injured party desiring to take
the benefit of this act shall, within a reasonable period after the expiration of such
time, file with his official superior, to be forwarded through regular official channels
to the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, an affidavit setting forth the grounds of his
claim for compensation, to be accompanied by a certificate of the attending physician
as to the cause and nature of the injury and probable duration of the incapacity, or the
nonproduction of the certificate shall be satisfactorily accounted for. If the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor shall find from the report and affidavit or other evidence pro
duced by the claimant or his or her legal representatives, or from such additional
investigation as the Secretary of Commerce and Labor may direct, that a claim for
compensation is established under this act, the compensation to be paid shall be
determined as provided under this act and approved for payment by the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor.
S e c . 5. That the employee shall, whenever and as often as required by the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor, at least once in six months, submit to medical examination,
to be provided and paid for under the direction of the Secretary, and if such employee
refuses to submit to or obstructs such examination his or her right to compensation shall
be lost for the period covered by the continuance of such refusal or obstruction.
S e c . 6. That payments under this act are only to be made to the beneficiaries or
their legal representatives other than assignees, and shall not be subject to the claims
of creditors.
S e c . 7. That the United States shall not exempt itself from liability under this
act by any contract, agreement, rule, or regulation, and any such contract, agreement,
rule, or regulation shall be pro tanto void.
S e c . 8. That all acts or parts of acts in conflict herewith or providing a different
scale of compensation or otherwise regulating its payment are hereby repealed.
AMENDING ACTS.
Of the numerous bills for the amendment of this act which have
been introduced since its enactment, four have become laws, two of
them relating to injured employees on the Isthmian Canal. The
first was H. R. 22340, Sixty-first Congress, introduced by Mr. Mann
on December 7, 1908, becoming a law on February 24, 1909 (35 U. S.
Stat. L., p . 645).

The act reads as follows:
That nothing contained in the act approved May thirtieth, nineteen hundred and
eight, entitled “ An act granting to certain employees of the United States the right
to receive from it compensation for injuries sustained in the course of their employ
ment, ” shall prevent the Isthmian Canal Commission, under rules to be fixed by the
commission, from granting to its injured employees, whether engaged in a hazardous
employment or otherwise, leave of absence with pay for time necessarily lost as a result
of injuries received in the course of employment, not exceeding in the aggregate
thirty days per annum: Provided, however, That compensation paid to such injured
employees under such regulations shall be deducted from any compensation which
such employees may be entitled to receive under the terms of the said act.
The following explanation of this act was made by Mr. Mann in the
House (Jan. 9, 1909):
It has been the custom of the Isthmian Canal Commission to give compensation
to an injured employee whether he was engaged in hazardous employment or not,
and also to give him compensation although his time kept from employment was less
than 15 days; but it has been construed that the Isthmian Canal Commission, being
included in the law passed at the last session, is controlled by that law, and that
under that law the former practice of the commission is changed so that now they can
not pay to an injured employee any compensation unless that employment shall be
called “ hazardous” employment, nor can they pay him any compensation unless he
is kept from work for at least 15 days. The purpose of this bill, which is asked for
both by the Isthmian Canal Commission and the labor employed on the canal, is
to give to the commission the power to pay to an injured employee who is kept from his
work less than 15 days the pay for that time, and also to give the commission the
power to pay although the employee is not technically engaged in hazardous em
ployment.
This compensation was paid to the employees of the Isthmian Canal
Commission under regulations adopted on June 11, 1907, and effective
since July 1, 1907. This special accident leave could not exceed 30
days, and was known as “ meritorious sick leave,” which was over and
above the ordinary sick-leave provisions. But by a decision of Sep
tember 1, 1908, the comptroller, upon request of the Isthmian Canal
Commission for an advance decision as to the legality of these pay
ments, ruled: “ That this enactment (act of May 30,1908) is exclusive,
after it came into effect, and that it is no longer in the power of the
commission by regulation, past or present, to enlarge or diminish the
provisions of that act,” and that the commission was not authorized
to pay to an employee who is entitled to the benefits of the act of May
30, 1908, any compensation for an injury, if the period for which he
is incapacitated is 15 days or less; nor to pay compensation to an
employee injured through his own negligence or misconduct, whether
the duration of the injury is more or less than 15 days. It was also
ruled that the act made illegal any payments of compensation to
employees not covered by the act. (XV Decisions of the Comp
troller of the Treasury, p. 161.)

The act of February 24, 1909, therefore reestablished the conditions
existing under the regulations of June
, 1907, legalizing the com
pensation of injuries lasting less than 15 days, and also injuries
causing disability not exceeding 30 days to persons in nonhazardous
occupations on the Isthmian Canal; it also gave an option in refer
ence to cases causing disability over 15 days but not over 30 days,
which may, since this enactment, be compensated either under the
act of May 30, 1908, or that of February 24, 1909. As a matter of
fact, the Isthmian Canal Commission decided not to avail itself of
this provision of the law, in order to prevent confusion from the
complexity of reports, and practically all cases causing disability
of over 15 days continued to be adjudicated by the Department of
Commerce and Labor under the act of May 30, 1908, until March 4,
1911. On this date a second amending law (36 U. S. Stat. L., p.
1453) took effect, being section 5 of the sundry civil appropriation
bill for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1912. By this amendment the
entire administration of the law, in so far as it affects employees of
the Isthmian Canal Commission, is transferred to that commissions
the law is extended in scope so as to include all employees of the com
mission without reference to the hazardous or nonhazardous character
of their employment; and one year is allowed for the filing of claim;
in case of death, instead of 90 days, as in the original act. The sec
tion in question is as follows:
11
S e c . 5. That hereafter the act granting to certain employees of the United States
the right to receive from it compensation for injuries sustained in the course of their
employment shall apply to all employees under the Isthmian Canal Commission
when injured in the course of their employment, and claims for compensation on
ac c o u n t of in ju ry or death resu ltin g from an accident occurring hereafter shall be
settled by the chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission, who shall, as to such
claims and under such regulations as he may prescribe, perform all the duties now
devolving upon the Secretary of Commerce and Labor: Provided, That when an
injury results in death claim for compensation on account thereof shall be filed within
one year after such death.
The third amending act was approved March 11, 1912 (37 Stat., 7),
and has the effect of including employees engaged in hazardous work
under the Bureau of Mines or the Forestry Service of the United
States under the provisions of the original act. This amendment is
as follows:
That the provisions of the act approved May thirtieth, nineteen hundred and eight,
entitled “ An act granting to certain employees of the United States the right to
receive from it compensation for injuries sustained in the course of their employ
ment, ” shall, in addition to the classes of persons therein designated, be held to
apply to any artisan, laborer, or other employee engaged in any hazardous work under
the Bureau of Mines or the Forestry Service of the United States: Provided, That
this act shall not be held to embrace any case arising prior to its passage.

The fourth amendment is fonnd in the act of July 27, 1912, author
izing additional aids in the Lighthouse Service, etc. (37 Stat., 238, 239),
and is as follows:
And hereafter the benefits of the act of May thirtieth, nineteen hundred and eight
(Thirty-fifth Statutes, page five hundred and fifty-six), entitled “ An act granting to
certain employees of the United States the right to receive from it compensation for
injuries sustained in the course of their employment,” shall be extended to persons
employed by the United States in any hazardous employment in the Lighthouse
Service * * *.
The organic act creating the Department of Labor (37 Stat., 736)
provides in section 3 that—
All the powers and duties heretofore possessed by the Commissioner of Labor shall
be retained and exercised by the Commissioner of Labor Statistics; and the adminis
tration of the Act of May thirtieth, nineteen hundred and eight, granting to certain
employees of the United States the right to receive from it compensation for injuries
sustained in the course of their employment.
Under date of April 3, 1913, the Attorney General rendered an
opinion that the final authority to determine claims arising under the
compensation act rests in the Secretary of Labor, and not in the
Commissioner of Labor Statistics (30 Op. A tty. Gen., p. 145).
ANALYSIS OF LAW OF MAY 30, 1908, AS AMENDED.
A topical analysis of this act is hare given for the purpose of bringing
out its essential features.
Injuries compensated.— Injuries received in the course of employ
ment, causing disability for more than 15 days, or death, if not due
to the negligence or misconduct of the employee injured.
Industries covered.— Manufacturing establishments, arsenals, navy
yards, construction of river and harbor and fortification work, con
struction work in the reclamation of arid lands, or management and
control of the same (hazardous employment only), all employment
under the Isthmian Canal Commission, and hazardous employment
under the Bureau of Mines, the Forestry Service, or the Lighthouse
Service.
Persons covered by the law.— Artisans or laborers employed by the
United States in the above-mentioned works, except under the
Isthmian Canal Commission, where all employees are covered, and
under the Bureau of Mines, the Forestry Service, and the Lighthouse
Service, where all employees engaged in any hazardous work are
covered.
Burden o f payment.— The burden of payment falls upon the branch
of service or office where the person injured is employed; i. e., it
comes from the same appropriation as that from which the wages
have been paid.
w o rk m en 's
COMPENSATION UNDER ACT OF MAY 30, 1908.
19
Compensation for death.— One year’s wages minus the amount due
for any time between the day of injury and the day of death, payable
at the same intervals as wages. This amount is payable only in
case a widow, or children under 16 years of age, or dependent parents
survive. The distribution of the amount of compensation among
several claimants is made in such portions as the Secretary of Labor
may prescribe. If a widow dies during the year, her amount is
redistributed among the other beneficiaries, if any.
Compensation for disability.— The same pay as if the injured person
had continued to be employed for the entire time of disability, but
not over one year.
Administration.— Except for the employees of the Isthmian Canal
Commission, the administration of the law devolves upon the Sec
tary of Labor. It is made the duty of the official superiors of the
injured employees, however, to transmit reports of accidents, furnish
evidence as to their cause and nature, and to furnish such other
matter as may be required by the rules and regulations prescribed
by the Secretary of Labor. The act authorizes the Secretary of
Labor to prescribe rules and regulations for reporting accidents and
for the payment of compensation to the injured employees and in
case of death of an injured employee to his survivors, to determine
when an injured employee is able to resume work, to determine all
questions of negligence or misconduct, to direct investigations for the
purpose of obtaining additional evidence, and to order medical exam
inations of injured employees as often as necessary, at least once in
six months.
Reports o f accidents.— Reports of all accidents occurring to any
employee covered by the law must be made at once by his official
superior to the head of his bureau or office for immediate communi
cation through regular official channels to the Secretary of Labor.
These reports must state the time, cause, and nature of the accident;
the nature and probable duration of the resultant injury; whether
the accident arose out of or in the course of employment; whether
the accident was due to the negligence or misconduct of the injured
person; and any other matters required by the rules and regulations
prescribed by the Secretary of Labor.
Presentation o f claims.— In accidents resulting in death, under the
original act, claims are to be filed with the Secretary of Labor within
90 days after death. This provision, however, has been construed as
being merely directory and not mandatory, and a claim for compen
sation on account of the death of an employee, filed more than five
years after the date of death, was recently approved. The period for
filing claims is one year in cases of death of employees of the Isthmian
Canal Commission.
20
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
In accidents resulting in disability, claims must be filed within a
reasonable period after the expiration of the first 15 days of disability
with the official superior, to be forwarded to the Secretary of Labor.
Medical examinations and certificates.— The claim must be accom
panied by a medical certificate of the attending physician stating, in
case of death, the fact and cause of death; and in case of injury, the
cause and nature of the injury and the probable duration of the dis
ability. Failure to furnish such certificate must be explained. The
injured employee is required to subject himself to a medical exami
nation as often as required by the Secretary of Labor, which must be
at least once in six months.
PROCEDURE UNDER THE LAW.
Regulations (see appendix) and blank forms were prepared by the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor for use in the administration of the
law and for the guidance of claimants and their official superiors, and
these regulations have been adopted by the Secretary of Labor.
Besides the data called for by the law itself, the Secretary requests
other information necessary for the determination of rights and for
use as accident data. This information is desired for all accidents
causing disability of more than one day’s duration, w~h.eth.er or not
the person or the branch of service is covered by the compensation
provisions of the law. This course was decided upon not only because
of the difficulty of determining in advance whether a branch of serv
ice is covered by the law and what persons are to be classed as arti
sans or laborers, but also because of the advantages of obtaining
accident statistics for all persons in the Government service of a
status comparable to that of the persons affected by the statute.
INTERPRETATION OF THE LAW.
The act is a remedial one, its purpose being to provide relief in cases
of injury where no redress was obtainable, the Government not being
subject to suit, and relief through congressional action being tedious
and uncertain. It goes beyond a grant of relief in cases of injury
through negligence, however, and substitutes for the old doctrine of
employers’ liability one of compensation for accidental injury with
out reference to the proved fault of the employer, and without con
sideration of the questions of fellow service, assumption of risks, and
contributory negligence, which are usually brought up in cases in
volving injuries to employees. As is the legal rule in the administra
tion of remedial statutes, a liberal construction has been given the
law, without, however, disregarding its provisions or extending it
beyond its prescribed scope.
w o r k m e n 's
COMPENSATION UNDER ACT OF MAY 30, 1908.
21
The administration of the law was by its own terms committed to
the Secretary of Commerce and Labor (afterwards to the Secretary
of Labor) who is charged with the determination of all questions of
negligence or misconduct of the injured workman such as should
bar him or his beneficiaries from compensation under the act; and
he is also authorized to prescribe regulations as to reporting accidents
and the payment of benefits, though no rule can be enforced which
would exempt the United States from its liability under the act.
No appeal on questions of fact is provided, though the usual recourse
to the Attorney General is open to the head of any department inter
ested in the determination of questions of law. It is not contem
plated that there should be any action at law to secure claims under
the act under any circumstances. Though attorneys have been
employed by some claimants, no necessity for such employment
exists to secure all rights under the act.
While the act has been administered chiefly through the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, questions of law have arisen on which the advice
of the Solicitors of the Department of Commerce and Labor and of
the Department of Labor has been obtained, and in a few cases that
of the Attorney General. Rulings of the Comptroller of the Treas
ury have also been made on some points. A considerable body of
legal discussion and interpretation has resulted, and a summary of
the principal points developed is here given. The system of pre
sentation is analytical, considering first the scope of the law, then
the principles involved, and the details of their application as fixed
by the statute. This summary is, of course, based on opinions pre
pared on points that have actually arisen, no attempt having been
made to anticipate possible conditions or to cover all points that
might arise in the future, though it is believed that with an experi
ence of nearly six years, at least the principal questions involved
have been brought under consideration.
CLASSES OF PERSONS COVERED.
The first condition to be met by applicants for the benefits of the
act is that they shall be “ employed by the United States.” This
precludes claims of employees of contractors who may be doing work
on behalf of the United States, but are not directly employed thereby.
A contractor himself was likewise excluded in a case where he had
the status of an independent contractor and the rendition of personal
service was not essential to the fulfillment of the contract, such per
son not being carried on any pay roll as an employee, and being able
to perform the entire contract through agents or employees of his
own.
22

OF L A B O R S T A T IS T IC S .
Pieceworkers, however, are within the law, even though the rate
of payment includes the pay of a helper to the principal worker, as in
the case of plate printers in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
As originally enacted, the law applied only to persons employed
as artisans or laborers, and the limitation set by these terms has called
for a determination of the classification of employments in a number
of cases. Considering the matter broadly, it was held in a compara
tively early case that the words “ artisans and laborers” were used
as indicating “ a class of persons commonly referred to as the ‘ labor
ing class/ as distinguished from the leisure, professional, business,
and official or clerical classes.” The designation given an employee
on the pay roll or otherwise in the establishment is not conclusive, the
question being one of the actual character of the employment. Man
ual labor or employment, the principal element of which is the appli
cation of physical force, comes generally within the act, so that per
sons employed specifically for such service as well as persons not desig
nated as laborers but rendering other than professional or clerical
service have been regarded as covered by it as well. Thus a messen
ger doing work of a manual character, even though detailed at times
to do clerical work, is protected; so also a policeman or watchman on
the Canal Zone, a sanitary inspector in. the same locality, packers,
stockmen, and clerks with manual duties in navy yards and the com
missary service on the Canal Zone, sailors assisting in dredge work,
riggers and divers, chainmen and - axmen in survey work, and an
inspector of crossties, piling, and lumber, who had no duty of super
vision, but inspected and marked with a hammer and die the materials
handled in a supply yard, have been classed as artisans or laborers
under this act. Excluded from it are foremen not doing manual
labor, office employees in clerical work, draftsmen, surveyors, inspec
tors with directive powers not themselves doing labor, telegrapher
and shipping clerk, the master or pilot of a steamer, a dock master
supervising a dock force, an assistant veterinarian, and a laboratory
assistant employed to test chemically the materials used in an arsenal.
Amending acts applicable to particular branches of service have
done away with the distinction between artisans or laborers and
other employees in those branches, one of March 4, 1911, relative
to work in the Canal Zone making the law applicable to “ all employees
under the Isthmian Canal Commission” ; while the act of March 11,
1912, extending the act to include the Bureau of Mines and the
Forestry Service, covers “ any artisan, laborer, or other employee
engaged in any hazardous work” in these services; and the act of
July 27, 1912, bringing the Lighthouse Service under the act includes
“ persons employed by the United States in any hazardous employ
ment” in this service.

23
DEPARTMENTS AND BRANCHES OF SERVICE.
The question as to the application of the law to any given industry,
employment, or branch of service is one that has called for rulings
in a variety of cases in order to define the terms used in the act.
In some instances, too, the question of the hazard of the employment
is involved, the law, as is apparent, covering only persons engaged
in hazardous employments in certain branches of service.
Taking up the terms used in the law in the order in which they
are named, manufacturing establishments of the United States have
been defined in a number of instances the Government Printing
Office, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the mail-bag
repair shop (in which a variety of mail equipment is made) being
perhaps the most important establishments coming under this desig
nation. Printing done as a mere incident of the office work, as in
a station of the Weather Bureau, does not give the office status as a
manufacturing establishment. A quartermaster’s depot where cloth
ing and tents are made; a saw and planing mill operated by the
Government on one of its reservations; a blacksmith shop at which
bolts, drills, and other articles and tools used in connection with an
irrigation development are made and repaired; a lighthouse depot
where materials and appliances used in the service are manufactured
and repaired; the mechanical plant at the Smithsonian Institution
at which cases, cages, and museum furniture are made; and a car
penter shop connected with an Indian school at which mission furni
ture is made, have been classed as manufacturing establishments.
A plant in which electric light and power are produced and ice is
manufactured for departmental use, which is connected with an
executive department, is also within the law on this basis. An artisan
or laborer employed in or about such aji establishment is entitled
to compensation if injured in the line of duty, even though his employ
ment is not connected with the manufacturing operations of the
establishment, as, for instance, a freight handler or a house painter.
It has also been held that an employee of such an establishment may
receive compensation even though he be employed elsewhere at the
time of receiving his injury, as in the case of a press feeder in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing detailed for service of like nature
in another branch of the Treasury, or of a carpenter employed in a
navy yard doing work on a hospital building outside the limits of the
yard. But a mere testing laboratory and a mechanical establish
ment not actualty transforming the materials handled (as an aqueduct
and filtration plant) and gauging in the Internal Revenue Service
are not within the act.
As to the word “ arsenal” the standard definition of the term is
regarded as excluding a place where arms and ammunition are kept
24
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
merely for use in current operations, as at a fort or at the Military
Academy at West Point.
The Navy Department, however, classes the Naval Academy at
Annapolis and the naval experiment station near that point as
navy yards, and this has been accepted as bringing these estab
lishments within the law. For the same reason a naval station used
as a coaling depot was regarded as covered by the statute, the depart
ment holding that the term “ navy yard” is “ applicable generally
to stations under naval jurisdiction where artisans or laborers are
employed in the prosecution of the work of the Naval Establish
ment.”
In so far as the law applies to river and harbor and fortification
work, it is limited to the work of construction. This has been
regarded, however, as covering generally the work appropriated for
under the fortification appropriation acts, as work on the electric
wires of an underground system of electrification at a fort, or on the
gun carriages, but not including such service as the erection of an
ice house at the distance of a mile or more from the fort which it
was to supply; nor does the law cover such work as the grading
and leveling of earth for the building of officers’ quarters at Fort
Leavenworth, nor the work of a painter at Fort Meade, the work
being connected with nothing that could be considered as fortifica
tions or defensive work. An employee in an ice plant furnishing
supplies to laborers on a dam, quarrymen getting materials for con
struction, and teamsters and stablemen employed in connection
with such an undertaking are within the law as to the Reclamation
Service.
HAZARDOUS EMPLOYMENTS.
In its application to the Reclamation Service the law is limited
to hazardous employment in work of construction or maintenance,
and for two and one-half years the same limitation affected employees
under the Isthmian Canal Commission. Rulings on question of
hazard are obviously difficult since they would seem to be practically
answered by the fact of the occurrence of the injury which must befall
before the case can come to consideration, and the fact of the injury
is in itself proof that the occupation is at least in some degree haz
ardous.
In considering this phase of the act the general occupation of the
injured workman was regarded as the decisive factor in some instances
and in others his specific employment at the time of the injury. In
the absence of statutory determination the rulings necessarily reflect
an estimate as to the hazard, based in part on known facts as to fre
quency of accident and in part on conclusions reached from the par

ticular circumstances. Thus on the Canal Zone the following employ
ees were held to be in hazardous employments: A policeman; a hos
pital orderly, injured while catching an escaped insane patient; the
driver of an ambulance; a time inspector whose duty required him
to go upon the excavation and construction work; a messenger boy
who had to cross tracks at a railroad yard; a water boy who stood on
a high wall to serve the workmen; a laborer clearing ground by the
use of a machete to cut small trees; a laborer attending a printing
press; teamsters; a carpenter; a plumber and tinner; a hotel porter
taking baggage to a station; a waiter injured while lifting supplies
on a dredge.
The following were held not to be employed in hazardous employ
ments: Laborers in the Quartermaster’s Department; laborer on
delivery wagon; acting postmaster struck by train while going for
mail; cook; janitor; storeroom clerk, opening barrels; scavenger,
sanitation department; laborers clearing ground by the use of scythes
to cut grass, bushes, etc; water boy serving water to crew clearing
ground, who struck scythe hidden in the grass.
In the Reclamation'Service a ditch rider, a quarryman, an iceplant attendant who fell from a ladder, and a gas-engine tender were
held to be within the act, while a cook’s helper was held not to be in
a hazardous employment. In the Bureau of Mines a messenger boy
injured by falling on the pavement in front of the office where he
was employed was held not to be in a hazardous employment.
In so far as the rulings above noted relate to the Canal Zone they
are not of current importance, since the question of hazard no longer
affects the application of the law in that field, but they show the line
drawn in an attempt to apply the test of hazard. Thus far no case has
arisen in connection with the Forestry Service, or the Lighthouse
Service, but from the foregoing it is reasonably clear that all station
or field work in carrying out the purposes of the services, not clerical
and not strictly supervisory or administrative, would probably be
included in the act.
EXCLUDED SERVICES AND EMPLOYMENTS.
While it might be left to inference that the preceding enumeration
of services and employments sufficiently indicates the scope of the
act, the fact remains that applications for benefits were received in a
number of cases in which it was held that the law does not apply.
Some of these refer to the Lighthouse Service, afterwards included,
but omitting these it may be noted that claims were rejected on
grounds of noninclusion within the law in case of a carpenter working
on improvements to the water-supply system at West Point, of rural
mail carriers, a lineman employed by the Signal Corps of the Army,
26

a stevedore in the Army transport service, laborers at post offices,
customhouses, or executive buildings generally, an elevator conductor
in a Federal building, a powder man in highway construction in
Alaska, a laborer building a power plant in the congressional build
ings, etc. The number of claims rejected on this ground is shown in
Table II (p. 92), but this by no means indicates the number of
persons injured who are not within the act, since once an adverse
ruling as to any class becomes known, claims from persons of that
class are generally no longer made.
FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES.
The most important questions involving what may be considered
as the fundamental principles of the act are in regard to: (1) What
constitutes an injury; (2) the interpretation of the clause “ in the
course of employment” ; (3) what constitutes negligence or mis
conduct such as to bar compensation.
INJURY AND ACCIDENT.
It was established early in the administration of the law (in the
cage of Alfred E. Clark, plate printer, in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, who sustained a sprain of the wrist with a rupture of the
synovial sac surrounding the ligaments while working oji a hand press),
by an opinion of the Attorney General, that “ within the language of
the statute, an employee may be injured in the course of his employ
ment without having suffered a definite accident,” though the later
sections of the act refer to accidents as well as injuries. In line with
this decision many cases of hernia have been ruled as coming under
the law, where a suddenly occurring injury could be proved, though
not what would properly be described as an accident. No external
mark is necessary, so that the death of a man previously strong and
active but complaining of distress following a strain may properly be
regarded as within the statute, no other assignable cause of death
appearing; so also where there is disability following a nervous shock
caused by an accident, even though there be no physical contact or
lesion.
An illness caused by exposure during employment (as pneumonia
following exposure to inclement weather) does jiot give rise to a claim
for compensation, since the use of the word “ accident” in the statute
implies a more definite point of time than would be the case where
cumulative effects are the results of causes operating through an
extended period. But an edema of the lungs following the inha
lation of smoke from a blast in a tuzmel, and an ulcerated throat
resulting from breathing fumes while repairing an acid tank, were
held to be injuries coming within the law; as was a case of “ bends”

27
or compressed-air sickness, such diseases being traumatic as dis
tinguished from those of an idiopathic nature. The freezing of a
workman’s feet while employed in an exposed place and cases of
inflamed eyes due to working in dust about a rock crusher or to expo
sure to irritating fumes are within the act. Compensation has been
allowed in case of disability following vaccination performed under
official orders, no question of accident being raised.
A preexisting disease, susceptibility, or weakness not sufficient to
interfere with employment may be aggravated by an injury that
would not presumably incapacitate a sound man, in which case the
injury will support a claim for compensation, since it is the injury
and not the preexisting weakness that is the direct cause of disability;
and conversely, in a case in which an accident occurring in the course
of employment greatly weakened the system of the injured person,
without absolutely compelling suspension of work, and a disease
resulted fatally, quite probably on account of the increased suscep
tibility and reduced recuperative power, it was ruled that a claim for
compensation could properly be enforced under the act.
COURSE OF EMPLOYMENT.
The language of the act gives compensation to all injuries sustained
“ in the course of employment.” Thus it is broader than the language
of the British act and many others limiting the right to accidents
arising out of and in the course of employment. Under the text of
the law practically all injuries arising during employment were held
as arising in the course of the employment, even if due to an act not
directly connected with the nature of the employment, such as, for
instance, being bitten by a mad dog; or being struck by a foreman,
without negligence or misconduct on the part of the workman, result
ing in the breaking of an arm; so also a foreman being injured while
stopping a fight between two workmen; but not of a workman inter
fering in a fight when the maintenance of discipline was no part of
his duties; and where the accident causing the injury was due to the
fact that the workman was employed in a place of danger from which
he fell on account of an epileptic fit, to which he was subject, it was
held that it was an injury in the course of employment, and compen
sation was allowed.
In a number of cases the question arose as to whether an injury
received while going to or coming from work or just before the
beginning or after the conclusion of work was an injury in the course
of employment. In general it is held that a laborer going to or
coming from work along a public highway is not in the course of his
employment, though compensation may be allowed if the injury
occurred while an employee was being conveyed to or from the place of
28
B U L L E T IN
OF T H E
BUREAU
OF L A B O R S T A T IS T IC S .
employment in Government trains, or other conveyances, or was tak
ing a special route, on Government property. On the other hand it
has been uniformly held that injuries occurring on the premises of the
employment within a reasonable time before beginning work or before
leaving after the day’s work were properly in the course of employ
ment. And where his employment requires a workman to occupy
living and sleeping quarters furnished by the Government, injuries
at quarters may give rise to claims, even though they occur outside
the hours of work.
NEGLIGENCE OR MISCONDUCT.
The statute in terms bars claims to compensation “ where the
injury is due to the negligence or misconduct of the employee
injured.” In construing these provisions it is considered that the
negligence contemplated involves the idea of misconduct or volun
tary and unnecessary exposure to an obvious danger. It must be
something more than a mere inadvertence or error of judgment, nor
is it to be presumed that workmen employed about machines will be
uniformly vigilant and avoid movements more or less mechanical
and involuntary, even though their actual effect is to cause injury.
So also it is not negligence barring a claim where a workman intent,
on the performance of his work momentarily forgets a known danger
and is injured by reason of such forgetfulness. It will not be assumed
that one is negligent because injured under circumstances which in
the opinion of another allowed time to escape the danger, the pre
sumption being that a workman exposed to a known impending danger
would use his best endeavor to escape. So also obeying an unwise
impulse in the face of threatened danger, resulting in injury, though
not caused by the peril anticipated, is not negligence, since one is not
held to the same degree of caution when in a position of peculiar
hazard as when in accustomed surroundings. The violation of a
rule that had not been enforced and whose violation would not, apart
from defective conditions, probably result in serious injury, is not to
be regarded as negligence, since rules must be both reasonable and
enforced to be binding.
On the other hand, where injury results from the obvious careless
ness of a workman, as in neglecting to cut off the air in a pump on
which repairs were being made, or voluntarily reaching under a
moving car for self-serving ends, or attempting to alight from or
board moving trains by persons not employed in railway service, or
the reckless handling of a locomotive in a place of obvious danger, or
neglecting customary precautions in working about electric apparatus,
or assuming or remaining in positions of known or obvious danger,
claims for compensation are disallowed. The violation of an estafc-

29
lished rule or disobedience of orders may be connected with classes
of conditions named above, and this affords added reasons for deny
ing claims for benefits. It is clear that in each case the facts involved
are of prime importance, so that the statement of principles is only
suggestive, and while a very considerable number of claims have been
disallowed on this ground, many cases have received favorable con
sideration that under the strict rules of a liability law would have
been dismissed.
ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS.
Several opinions relate to what may be grouped as the adminis
trative details of the law. Thus the period of compensation, which
ca,n not exceed one year, is held to begin to run on the day following
the injury and to terminate with the anniversary of the day of injury.
This rule is modified where the disability begins only after the laps3
of some time, the period of compensation dating in such case from
the date of the actual commencement of the disability. It was held,
however, that both the cause of the disability and its inception must
be of a date subsequent to the date fixed for the law to come into
effect.
The law allows compensation only in cases causing disability in
excess of 15 days, but any fraction of a day above 15 is regarded as
meeting this requirement. The days need not be consecutive, and
if an injured person resumes work after less than 15 days’ disability,
but, after a time finds himself compelled to quit by reason of the same
injury, compensation may be claimed when the sum of the periods of
cessation from labor is greater than 15 days. Intervening Sundays
and holidays are considered, since the question of working time lost
is not made the basis of computation. If, however, the injured per
son is physically able to resume work after not more than 15 days
and Sundays or holidays intervene to cause a loss of time in excess
of 15 days, no claim for compensation is supported thereby, since
the question is not one of opportunity but of disability.
The ability to resume work which marks the termination of com
pensation payments is construed to be ability to return to the regular
work of the injured person’s employment, and he can not be required
to accept other employment of a different nature, even though
physically able to render the service involved therein. If an injured
workman accepts such work without reduction of pay, it is considered
that his compensation under the act ceases, his right thereto being
merged in his right to receive wages. If, however, the workman
should be discharged or his pay reduced on account of disability due
to the injury, his right to compensation would revive unless the full
period of one year had expired. A person who is unable to resume
30
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
work and is discharged may accept different employment elsewhere
without affecting his right to compensation. Resumption of his
regular work terminates all compensation payments even though
an actual partial disability— as from maiming, or the loss of an eye—
persists and will be permanent. Ability to return to work can not
be determined by an estimate as to the probable results of a form of
treatment which the injured person declines to accept, the law
authorizing no rule to require surgical or medical treatment.
When compensation is being paid and the resumption of work on
recovery is impracticable by reason of conditions connected with the
treatment of the case, the payments do not cease until the workman
is restored to a position to commence service. Thus a workman sent
from the Canal Zone to New York City for hospital treatment not
available in the zone was allowed compensation not only during his
detention in the hospital, but after discharge and until the termination
of his journey to the place of his employment.
The rate of compensation is such pay as the injured person would
have received if he had continued to be employed. This includes an
allowance for such subsistence as he may have been receiving in addi
tion to money wages, and also calls for an increase in the compensation
in case of any increase in pay that would have affected him within the
time of his disability. Completion or suspension of the work on which
he was employed does not put an end to compensation payments,
since he is to be paid during disability the same as if he had continued
to be employed. No provision is made for scaling compensation
in any case where payments are due, so that persons partially disabled
or parents partially dependent receive necessarily the full rate of
wages so long as they are entitled to any compensation whatever.
Beneficiaries of deceased workmen under the act are limited to
widows, children under 16 years of age, and dependent parents.
An illegitimate wife or the divorced wife of a deceased workman is
not in her own right entitled to compensation, but the amount payable
on account of children of the deceased may be paid to such illegitimate
or divorced wife as guardian and for the benefit of children of the
deceased entitled to compensation. The term child or children as
used in the act is construed to mean offspring, whether the fruit of a
legitimate union in marriage or otherwise.
Parents are not entitled to compensation unless dependent, and
partial dependence is construed as dependence within the meaning
of the act. Actual contributions to support within a given time
are evidential, but are not the only criterion. The natural and
equitable claim of parents upon their children for support, together
with a showing of actual needs in ^iew of their age, earning capacity,
and position in life, may be a sufficient warrant for a grant of com
pensation even though no actual contributions for their support
WORKMEN *S COMPENSATION UNDER ACT OF MAY 30, 1908.
31
were being made. A parent by adoption may be a beneficiary, as
may an adopted child, but stepchildren and stepfathers and step
mothers are not within the act.
In case of death from injury, following a period of disability, the
beneficiary is entitled to compensation for the unexpired remainder
of the year, the injured person himself being entitled to the amount
accruing before death. If, however, no claim has been made prior
to the death, ifc is held that the spirit and purpose of the act warrant
the payment of compensation for the period of disability prior to the
death, as well as for the remainder of the year, to the proper benefi
ciaries under the act.
The act contains no provision for meeting medical or funeral
expenses of employees dying as a result of injury in cases where no
beneficiary survives, nor does it provide for a dependent widower
even though by reason of infirmity he might be entirely dependent
on his wife’s earnings.
The distribution of the amount of compensation is committed
entirely to the Secretary of Labor, the word “ portions” as used in
the act referring not to division into weekly, monthly, or other pay
ments, but to the amounts payable to each of several claimants, and
this authority is said to extend so far as to enable him to entirely
exclude one or more claimants in behalf of another or others.
The limitations of the statute require claims in case of death to
be filed within 90 days, and in nonfatal cases “ within a reasonable
period.” The prescription in cases of death is regarded as directory,
and if the formal completion of the claim is delayed through ignorance
of the law or by acts of the official superior of the deceased work
man, it has been held that the law was complied with by the sub
sequent presentation of a claim. The filing of a claim by one of any
number of beneficiaries gives jurisdiction of the case, so that the
Secretary can make the proper awards even though a known bene
ficiary (in the case in hand a minor child) has not filed a claim in his
own behalf within the time limit, or even if no claim is filed, since
such person’s right to compensation is absolute in case any claim is
valid.
As to the “ reasonable period” within which claims must be filed
by persons claiming compensation for nonfatal accidents, it is appar
ent that the circumstances in each case must be considered in order
to determine what is reasonable, so that no fixed rule can be laid
down.
Submission to medical examination at least once in six months is
mandatory on the workman, but is regarded as only directory as to
the Secretary of Labor, so that no right to compensation is lost by
the failure of the latter to provide for an examination.
32
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
Where the circumstances of the original injury clearly indicate a
permanent incapacity of the injured person to resume his employ
ment, the Secretary may in his discretion waive the examination at
the end of six months, and approve the payment for the full term of
one year. The employee’s rights are lost only by a refusal to submit
to an examination when one has been ordered by the Secretary with
out expense to the employee, and the employee has been advised of
the requirement that he shall be examined.
MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS.
Among the rulings of some interest that followed the submission
of questions of a miscellaneous nature is one to the effect that there
is nothing in the act to justify the following of a man who has volun
tarily left service so as to give him the benefits of the act where
disability afterwards developed, though if the person left service
because he was unable by reason of the injury to continue work and
was ignorant of his rights, evidence may justify the approval of a
claim subsequently submitted; and that the continuance of compen
sation pa}^ments must be warranted by the actual and appreciable
consequences of the injury, and not due to senile or other bodily
infirmity, though this rule will not go so far as to cut off the compen
sation of a man who from age or other cause makes less rapid recovery
than a vigorous man would probably do; that an employee who has
returned to work after an injury and is again hurt in the same mem
ber, which had not fully recovered its strength, the claim is a new
one and the year of possible compensation dates from the time of
the second injury; and that the authority of the Secretary of Labor
to make regulations under which compensation shall be paid does not
authorize him to commit to any other person the power of passing
on claims for compensation.
STATISTICAL OPERATIONS.
PERSONS COVERED BY fH E LAW.
The number of persons covered by the law can not be stated
accurately. According to the estimate made by the Judiciary Com
mittee of the House of Representatives (H. R. 1669, 60th Cong.,
1st sess.) there were approximately 6,600 artisans and laborers in
arsenals, armories, and other manufacturing establishments; the
navy yards, naval stations, etc., under the Navy Department
employed approximately 25,000 men; in the river and harbor work
the Government employed approximately 12,800 artisans and labor
ers, and approximately 11,000 in hazardous occupations on the
Isthmian Canal. This gives a total of 55,400 persons to be covered
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION UNDER ACT OF MAY 30, 1908.
33
by the new law, in the four enumerated groups, as the estimate of
the House committee. Adding about 1,900 persons in the LifeSaving Service and 14,300 persons in the Railway Mail Service, the
committee estimated the total number of persons that would be pro
tected after the adoption of the law as 71,600.
The estimate of the House committee did not include, however, the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, with about 4,000 employees, the
Government Printing Office, with about 4,000 employees, and the
mints, with about 1,250 employees. In addition, the fortification
works and the Reclamation Service were brought in by amendment
in the Senate. An estimate of the Department of the Interior places
the number of persons employed in work in the Reclamation Service
of the character considered at 4,000. Moreover, the estimate of the
employees of the Isthmian Canal Commission made by the House com
mittee was found to be too low. The average number of persons
actually employed in the Canal Zone in the fiscal year ending June
30, 1909, fluctuated between 24,000 and 27,000, and may be roughly
put at 25,000. Thus the estimate of the House committee must be
increased by a,bout 27,250 persons, giving a total of approximately
82,650 persons coming under the law as enacted.
Subsequent amendments already noted increase the number of
persons employed under the Isthmian Canal Commission to whom the
law applies by making it general instead of restricting it to those in
hazardous employments. During the fiscal year ending June 30,
1911, in the course of which this amendment was made, the number
of employees under the commission ranged from 26,000 to 30,000,
averaging about 28,900. The number of employees in the Canal
Zone as of June 30, 1913, as reported from the office of the Governor
was 33,213, of whom approximately 29,000 are on the “ silver” or
laborers’ (chiefly unskilled) roll. This relates to canal employees
only, the employees of the Panama Railroad number 5,088 in addition
to the above. The number of persons in the Bureau of Mines,
brought in by the amendment of March 11, 1912, is given at 174,
while for the Forestry Service, included in the same act, the num
ber fluctuates greatly with the seasons of the year. The number of
regular employees on the rolls in the summer of 1911 that would
probably come within the law was 2,560, while in July there were 681
temporary employees. During the disastrous fire season of 1910,
over 25,000 temporary laborers were employed in a single month,
almost all, if not entirely all, of whom were engaged in hazardous
employment. In the Lighthouse Service, covered by the amend
ment of July 30, 1912, it is estimated that 5,166 employees are in
62911°—Bull. 155—14------3
34
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
hazardous employments. The number of persons added would,
therefore, amount to a minimum of 12,000, with a possibility of great
increase in conditions of emergency, such as affected the Forestry
Service in 1910, so that the total number of persons under the
amended act would not fall far short of 95,000, to which are to be
added the temporary employees of the Forestry Service. Approxi
mately 15,000 are to be added on account of provisions for life-saving
and postal employees, making nearly 110,000 persons given some sort
of compensation provision.
According to the Official Register of the United States, the total
number of persons in the executive branch of the Government serv
ice, exclusive of the Army and Navy, was on July 1, 1913, approxi
mately 470,000. This includes the government of the District of
Columbia, the Diplomatic and Consular Service, certain part-time
employees of the Census Bureau, some 7,000 in all. It also includes
290,605 employees in the Postal Service, chiefly outside the District
of Columbia, postmasters and office clerks not being distinguishable
from carriers, railway mail clerks, etc. Only an approximate esti
mate can be made of the persons who would come under a general
law for compensating civilian employees of the United States, there
fore, but it seems safe to say that the present provisions do not
include as much as 25 per cent of the total number, though they
do include a much larger proportion of the so-called hazardous em
ployments under the Government.
PERIOD COVERED BY REPORT.
It is important to bear in mind that in this report of the opera
tions of the act during the first five years of its existence there is con
sidered not only the action taken within the period covered, but also
the action called for by such accidents as occurred in this time, so
that the report shows the results of the accidents up to and including
the final settlement of compensation claims.
Some delay in sending in reports was inevitable, and this delay is
necessarily increased in cases of claims. While claims for disability
must be presented “ within a reasonable period,” it has developed in
practice that claims submitted after the lapse of several months have
been admitted for satisfactory reasons. Furthermore, as payments
may continue for a full year after the beginning of disability, and the
disability may arise some time subsequent to the occurrence of the
accident causing it, it follows that claims for such disability will be
finally disposed of and complete returns made only after the lapse of
a considerable time after the end of the fiscal year within which the
accident occurred. The present report, therefore, really covers
WORKMEN*S COMPENSATION UNDER ACT OF MAY 30, 1908.
35
various operations under the law extending over six years, and even
more, but is limited to such acts as were involved in the recording
and adjusting of injuries and claims arising out of accidents occurring
during the period August 1, 1908, to June 30, 1913. The data given
are in every instance for fiscal years, ending with June 30 of the year

2 Not including Isthmian Canal Commission meritorious sick-leave cases reported from Nov. 1,1911, to
June 30,1912.
The number of injuries reported for the fiscal year 1911-12 does not
include meritorious sick-leave cases handled on the Canal Zone from
November 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912, as this information is not avail
able for tabulation.
The total number of meritorious sick-leave cases reported for the
fiscal years 1910-11 and 1912-13 was 6,477, an average of 270 per
month. The approximate number of meritorious sick-leave cases
not reported during the year 1911-12 would be 2,160, using 270 cases
per month as the average. These, added to the 7,997 cases reported,
would give a total of 10,157 cases for the fiscal year 1911-12.
It is apparent that the monthly average of accidents reported and
of claims received was considerably larger for each successive year.
This accords with the experience of other countries which have adopted
an accident-reporting system, as it is commonly found that a fair
degree of accuracy and completeness in reporting accidents is obtained
only after some years of experience and familiarity with a new law.
The ratio of claims to accidents reported varies for the years
1908-9,1 1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12, and 1912-13, being 37.2 per cent,
38 per cent, 33.8 per cent, 37.3 per cent, and 32.4 per cent, respec
tively. The ratio for 1911-12 is based on 10,157 accidents, being
the approximate number of cases for that year. The percentage of
claims rejected was highest for the year 1911-12, 7.9 per cent being
Eleven months.

disallowed for that year, and lowest in 1912-13, 3.9 per cent being
disallowed. For the year 1909-10, 4.7 per cent of the claims filed
were rejected, and 6.9 per cent were disallowed for each of the years
1908-91 and 1910-11.
It will not be possible in every case to compare the number of acci
dents reported under this act with the number presented in the
official reports of the various departments and services, as the regu
lations request that only accidents causing disability continuing at
least one day shall be reported to the Secretary of Labor, while it is
true, at least in some instances, that records are made of accidents not
causing absence from work except for the brief period of time required
to secure the simple treatment necessary for a slight scratch, the
removal of a foreign substance from the eye, or the like. It is also in
evidence that a considerable number of accidents that were not of
sufficient gravity to entitle the injured person to compensation, or
that occurred in branches of service not covered by the act, have not
been reported. While the Secretary of Labor requests that reports
be made of all accidents resulting in disability of one day or more, he
has no authority under the act to require the reporting of accidents
not subject to compensation, and no information in regard to acci
dents reaches the Secretary of Labor except by the action either
of an official under whose observation the accident occurred or of
the injured person who desires to take advantage of the provisions of
the act.
ACCIDENTS, BY DEPARTMENTS AND BRANCHES OF SERVICE.
The distribution of the accidents reported and claims received,
allowed, and disallowed, separately for fatal and nonfatal accidents,
by separate departments and independent administrative establish
ments, and also, under each department, separately for the separate
branches of service or establishments which are most important in
the study of accidents, is shown in detail, for the first five fiscal years
of the operation of the act, in Table I (p. 82). The facts as to acci
dents reported are summarized briefly by departments and services in
the following table.

The difference between the distribution of accidents reported and
of approved claims appears from a comparison of the foregoing sum
mary with the summary of such claims given below. It will be
observed that some of the departments or services for which accidents
are reported are not represented by claims because the employees
injured were not of those classes entitled to compensation under
the law.

It is seen that for the period covered by the foregoing tables several
branches of service were outside of the application of the law, as the
Rural Free Delivery and city delivery, Customs Service, Bureau of
Animal Industry, etc., although in some of the services mentioned
the number of accidents reported was not inconsiderable. Claims
arising in the Department of Agriculture were first approved during
the year 1911-12, the amendment authorizing the payment of com
pensation to injured employees of the Forestry Service being effective
March 11, 1912. As was stated above (pp. 10-12), independent sys
tems of compensation exist for the Railway Mail Service and LifeSaving Service, while amendments have extended the law somewhat,
but outside of these several large groups of injuries are left without
any provision.
FATAL ACCIDENTS.
The number of fatal accidents to Government employees reported
as occurring during the period August 1, 1908, to June 30, 1913, is
shown below. It seems probable, for various reasons, that omissions
in reporting were few, if any, in cases of accidents of this class.

The operations in the Canal Zone naturally claimed a large propor
tion of the fatal accidents; in fact, nearly one-half for four of the five
years covered by this report, although for 1912-13 the percentage is
but 12.82. But outside of these operations of exceptional hazard
the regular work of the Government employees caused a loss of 584
lives during the five years reported for.
There were several fatal accidents in branches of service not cov
ered by this law, such as the Life-Saving Service, Quartermaster’s
Department (War), Rural Free Delivery, Railway Mail Service, etc.
CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION.
Out of accidents which occurred from August 1, 1908, to June 30,
1909, 1,818 claims, or 37.2 per cent of the total number of accidents
reported, were presented. For 1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12 and
1912-13 the corresponding figures are 2,656, or 38 per cent; 3,171,
or 33.8 per cent; 3,793, or 37.3 per cent; and 3,525, or 32.4 per cent,
respectively. The proportion between accidents and claims is largely
influenced by the fact that the law excludes from all benefits acci
dents causing disability of not over 15 days, and as shown in Table VI
(p. 164), 2,300 accidents, or nearly one-half (47.1 per cent), were in that
group during the first year;1 3,430, or 49.1 per cent, in 1909-10; 5,511,
or 58.7 per cent, in 1910-11; approximately 5,572, or 54.9 per cent,

in 1911-12; and 6,641, or 61.1 per cent, in 1912-13. The percentages
of cases reported by the Isthmian Canal Commission for the years
1908-09/ 1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12, and 1912-13, causing not over
15 days’ disability are 55.1, 61.3, 72,67.4, and 80.8, respectively, while
the percentages for all other departments and services for the same
periods are 40.9, 38.6, 39.2, 40.2, and 40.6, respectively. In 1908-9 1
the proportion of claims to accidents lasting over 15 days would ap
pear to be approximately 70 per cent; in 1909-10, 75 per cent; in
1910-11, 82 per cent; in 1911-12 and in 1912-13, 83 per cent.
The number of fatal accidents reported, the number of resulting
claims for compensation, and the number of claims approved is
shown below:

The large proportion of fatal accidents in wiiich no claims were
made is explained in many cases by the remoteness or nonexistence
of dependent relatives, or, when the law first went into effect, of their
ignorance of it, or by the evident fact that the establishment in which
the decedent was employed is not covered by the law. In the Canal
Zone alone, where nearly all employees are protected by the law, claims
were presented in only 53 of 119 fatal cases in 1908-9/ in 68 of 85
cases in 1909-10, in 92 of 106 cases in 1910-11, in 66 of 97 cases in
1911-12, and in 14 of 15 cases in 1912-13.
CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION DISALLOWED.
The causes of disallowance of claims for compensation are sum
marized below, while General Table II, at the end of this report,
shows for 11 months in 1908-9 and for the fiscal years 1909-10,
1910-11, 1911-12, and 1912-13 the number of claims disallowed for

The average cost per case is subject to great fluctuation in different
departments, due to the difference in the wage scale as well as in the
gravity of injury and duration of disability. In fatal cases the aver
age compensation for the 11 months of 1908-9 and for the fiscal years
1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12, and 1912-13 was as follows:

The preceding table relates solely to compensation paid under the
act of May 30, 1908. For the sake of completeness, the data concern
ing other compensation systems for civil employees of the United
States Government existing by virtue of special legislation is here pre
sented. These are: The act of February 24, 1909, for the Isthmian
Canal Zone employees, covering accidents not included in the act of
May 30, 1908; the act of May 4, 1882, covering the Life-Saving Serv
ice; and the railway mail clerks’ compensation system, established for
the first time by the Post Office Department appropriation act for
1901, and since then extended by the annual appropriation acts.
ACT OF FEBRUARY 24, 1909.
The payments made under this act are presented for the years
1908-9 (from Feb. 25 to June 30), 1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12 (four

1 Including 45 cases, duration of disability not reported.
2 Not including 47 cases in which the cost of compensation was not reported.
Above 62 per cent of the cases compensated during the period
February 25 to June 30, 1909, were for disability of 7 days’ duration
or less, while during the fiscal year 1909-10 nearly 72 per cent and in
1910-11 just above 69 per cent were of this class. For the four months
reported for the fiscal year 1911-12 nearly 70 per cent of these cases
were of less than 7 days’ duration, while for the fiscal year 1912-13
the number is 70 per cent. The data here given do not agree with the
data shown in the reports of the Isthmian Canal Commission for the
reason that the latter present the payments made during the year
covered by the report, while the tables given above are for the cost
of all accidents occurring during the fiscal year, without regard to the
time of the payment of compensation therefor.
The average cost per case was $15.49 in 1908-9, $13.06 in 1909-10,
$12.16 in 1910-11, $12.01 in 1911-12, and $10.92 in 1912-13. The
beneficiary in practically all the cases compensated was an employee
of a class covered by the act of May 30, 1908.
LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.
According to reports received, 56 accidents occurred in the LifeSaving Service during the 11 months August 1, 1908, to June 30,
1909, of which 2 cases were fatal. Both fatal cases were those of
temporary employees, and no compensation was due; 2 injured per
sons belonged to a higher class not entitled to compensation, and in
9 cases no claim was made. In 43 cases compensation was paid which
according to a statement furnished by the superintendent of the
Life-Saving Service amounted to $3,159.24. During 1909-10
there were 87 nonfatal injuries, for which compensation was paid to
the amount of $9,980.42, and 1 death, on account of which $2,000 was
paid to the beneficiaries. The nonfatal injuries in 1910-11 were 102
in number, and the compensation therefor was $10,421.63; 1 death

this year called for the payment of $1,560 to the beneficiaries. Dur
ing the fiscal year 1911-12, 94 employees were paid benefits amounting
to $11,832, while for the fiscal year 1912-13, 64 employees received
benefits aggregating $6,216.10.

The marked increase in payments on account of death in 1909-10
as compared with 1908-09 is due to the increase in the number of
fatalities, while for the next year there was an increase in payments
from $1,000 to $2,000 in case of death. The amount paid in 1911
includes 3 cases adjudicated in that year but coming under the pro
vision of law allowing but $1,000 in case of death, while in each of the
fiscal years 1911-12 and 1912-13, $2,000 of the amount paid was on
account of employees killed in prior fiscal years. The amounts paid
in 1911-12 and 1912-13 also include $333.15 and $564.29, respec
tively, paid as substitute service on account of prior fiscal years.
RATES OF PAY OF INJURED EMPLOYEES.
The classification of the persons injured, according to the rate of
pay on an annual basis, is shown in Table IV at the end of this report.
In the reports of accidents which are made to the Secretary of
Labor the rate of pay is given either on an annual, monthly, daily,
or hourly basis. Where an annual rate is given it was accepted as
stated; the monthly rate was multiplied by 12; in other cases, in
order to reduce all to the yearly basis, the daily wage was multiplied
by 313, and where the pay is on a per hour basis the daily amount was
computed and multiplied by 313, the maximum number of working
days through the year. The daily wage was computed from the
hourly wage on the assumption of an 8-hour day for all employees,
except those in the Isthmian Canal service. In the case of the latter
the hourly wage was multiplied by 8 or 9, according to the informa
tion furnished by the Isthmian Canal Commission. While some
degree of inaccuracy is therefore possible, the returns are substantially
correct.
The percentage distribution of the injured employees, according to
the rate of pay, is shown in the following summary table for the entire
service, as well as for the Isthmian Canal Commission, the Navy
Department, the War Department, and the Post Office Department.

The figures for the 11 months in 1908-9 indicated that nearly twothirds (65.5 per cent) of all injured employees were earning less than
$1,000, more than one-half (55.5 per cent) less than $800, and nearly
two-fifths (39.1 per cent) less than $600; in 1909-10, 68.5 per cent of
all injured employees were earning less than $1,000; 59.3 per cent
less than $800; and 42.3 per cent less than $600. TTae percentages
for the corresponding wage groups in 1910-11, 1911-12, and 1912-13
are 70.8, 63.6, and 49.3; 70.3, 61.3, and 41.8; 72.8, 64.9, and 47.2,

OF L A B O R S T A T IS T IC S .
There is a very marked difference in the prevailing rates of pay in
the Canal Zone as compared with all other branches of the service,
due, first, to the large amount of unskilled labor and, secondly, to the
necessary employment of a comparatively highly-paid technical super
vising force. Thus, on the one hand, in each year the vast majority
of the injured persons receiving less than $600 were employed in the
Canal Zone, the per cent of injured employees of this class for the 11
months of 1908-9 and for the fiscal years 1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12,
and 1912-13 being 71.3, 76.9, 85.3, 76.9, and 82.1, respectively. On
the other hand, of the injured employees in salary groups receiving
$1,600 or over during the 11 months of 1908-9 and during the fiscal
years 1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12, and 1912-13, the per cent of those
employed in the Canal Zone was 95, 93.5, 96.3, 89, and 89, re
spectively.
These figures are important as indicating that in case of any im
portant change of the scale of compensation as now provided different
minimum and maximum limits would be necessary for the Canal
Zone and other branches of service. Such limits are often estab
lished in the form of a proviso that the earnings above a certain
amount shall not be taken into consideration. Above $1,600 such
limitation would be important in the Canal Zone, but of very little
significance in all other branches of service. On the other hand, a
minimum limit adaptable to the other branches may be excessive in
case of many Canal Zone employees whose very much lower standard
is indicated by the lower level of wages.
As the largest number of the lower-paid employees are employed in
those branches of the service which contain the greatest danger to
life, such as on the Canal Zone and in the Engineer Departments it is
quite natural that the lower-paid employees represented a very much
larger percentage of the fatally injured employees.
Of the 233 fatal accidents reported in the 11 months in 1908-9,
63.5 per cent occurred to employees receiving less than $600 per
annum, 31.8 per cent to those receiving $600 but less than $1,600,
and 4.7 per cent to those receiving $1,600 or over. In 1909-10, of the
231 fatal accidents reported, 48.9 per cent were to workmen receiving
less than $600, 46.3 per cent to those receiving $600 but less than
$1,600, and 3.5 per cent to those receiving $1,600 or above. The
corresponding figures for each of the other fiscal years covered are as
follows: For 1910-11, 207 cases, 62.8 per cent less than $600, 33.3
per cent $600 but less than $1,600, 3.4 per cent over $1,600; for
1911-12, 218 cases, 50.9 per cent less than $600, 45.4 per cent $600
but less than $1,600, 1.8 per cent over $1,600; and 1912-13, 117
cases, 29.1 per cent less than $600, 66.7 per cent over $600 but less
than $1,600, and 1.7 per cent over $1,600.

Both the ratio and distribution of fatal accidents as compared with
all accidents reported vary considerably for the period under con
sideration. Thus in the 11 months of 1908-9 4.8 per cent of all
accidents reported were fatal, in 1909-10 the rate was 3.3 per cent,
and in 1910-11 it was 2.2. In 1911-12, using 10,157 as the approxi
mate number of injuries, the rate was 2.1 per cent, while for 1912-13
it was but 1.1 per cent. This decrease, with the exception of the
fiscal year 1912-13, when the total number of deaths was 100 less than
during the preceding fiscal year, is obviously due hardly at all to the
reduction in the number of fatal accidents occurring, but rather to
the more general reporting of the minor accidents which occurred.
With the limited scope of the act and in the absence of data showing
the total number of workmen employed in the different wage groups
no definite conclusions can be reached as to the actual accident rates
on the basis of rates of earnings, but it is at least clear from the higher
proportion of fatal accidents among the lower-paid workmen that
there is no adjustment of wages to compensate for the hazards of
especially dangerous employments, as is sometimes claimed.
The following table summarizes the cases of fatal injury, classified
by rates of pay, and shows the number and per cent in each class:

CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS.
In the tabulation of the causes of accidents the standard classifica
tion of causes as used by many European countries has been adopted
with some modifications. General Table V, at the end of this report,
62911°—Bull. 155—14------ 4
50
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
shows the accidents by causes in compensated cases, in non
compensated cases, and for all accidents reported, for each depart
ment or service. From this table, it will be seen that the compara
tive importance of the causes of accidents varies from one branch
of the service to another, depending upon the nature of the work and
the particular hazards attached to it. Railway operations stand out
as the principal cause of injury in the Railway Mail Service, while in
other services, with the exception of the Isthmian Canal Commission,
this cause is of minor importance.
The following summary table shows the distribution of injuries by
causes for all departments and services combined. During the first
year the collapse, fall, etc., of materials stands out as the largest
single cause of injury, during the second year it ranks third, and for
the remaining years it was the second principal cause. With the
exception of the first year, loading, unloading, lifting, etc., caused the
greater number of injuries, with railway operations, flying bodies, and
hand tools as the other principal causes.

COMPENSATION UNDER ACT OF MAY 30, 1908.
The following table shows the number and causes of fatal accidents
reported for each year covered by this report, and the total number of
accidents reported from August 1, 1908, to June 13, 1913. Railway
operations caused the largest number of fatal accidents in four of the
five years reported for, while falls, shipping and water transportation,
collapse, etc., of materials, and explosions are other causes of a large
number of fatalities. While general conclusions can not be based on
the limited data now available, they are of interest as showing the
current facts.

DURATION OF DISABILITY.
The duration of the disability resulting from accidents is one of the
most important factors in computing the cost of a compensation
system. In General Table VI of this report the data are presented
somewhat in detail for all accidents reported, by causes of injury,
for the Isthmian Canal Commission, for all other branches of serv
ice, and for the two combined. The separation of the injuries
occurring in the Canal Zone from the others is important on account
of the nature of the work and the large proportion of unskilled work
men employed, as for both of these reasons there is a higher accident
rate and the resultant injuries are more serious than in the more per
manent lines of service with better trained and disciplined employees
than the nature of conditions on the Isthmus renders possible.
The separation is important also because of the fact that accidents
involving disability of 15 days and less, which are not compensated
under the act of May 30, 1908, are, in the case of employees of the
Canal Commission only, compensated under the act of February 24,
1909.

Some caution is necessary in considering these data. First, there
is apparent a very low proportion of injuries reported as perma
nent. As a matter of fact, the information concerning permanent
disability is necessarily incomplete, since the law does not concern
itself with the results of the injuries after the expiration of the first
year, and the department has no means of determining accurately
how many of the injuries lead to permanent disability. Whether
or not ultimate recovery will take place can only be estimated,
and it is very likely that many of the cases reported as of a dura
tion of 365 days, or a longer period, may actually be cases of per
manent disability. No method exists, however, of following up
cases of injury after the termination of the first year of disability.
A further important qualification is found in the failure of the
law to recognize partial permanent disability. In case of return
to work the disability is considered as having terminated, though
the results of the injury are often permanent and such as seriously
to impair the earning capacity of the employee in any other employ
ment which he might be forced at some time to seek. In some
cases the permanent nature of the injuries and the permanent reduc
tion of earning capacity are quite evident, as may be ascertained
by an examination of the tables in which the accidents are classi
fied according to the nature of the injury and duration of disability.
(See Table IX.)
A comparison of the distribution of the accidents reported accord
ing to duration of disability on the Isthmian Canal with all other
departments, services, and establishments discloses marked differ
ences. A comparatively larger proportion of injuries from acci
dents reported as occurring on the Canal Zone lasted less than 15
days (55.1 in the 11 months of 1908-9, 61.3 in 1909-10, 72 in 1910-11,
67.4 in 1911—12, and 80.8 in 1912-13) than in all other branches of
service (40.9 in the 11 months of 1908-9, 38.6 in 1909-10, 39.2 in
1910-11, 40.2 in 1911-12, 40.6 in 1912-13), and correspondingly,
a larger proportion of the accidents causing disability from 15 to
21 days were reported in the other branches than in the Canal Zone,
namely, 13.4 as against 12.6 in 1908-9 (11 months), 11.8 as against
7.2 in 1909-10, 15.4 as against 6.5 in 1910-11, 15.9 as against
7.5 in 1911-12, and 17.6 as against 4.8 in 1912-13. In computing
these averages for 1911-12, 5,477 cases were used as the total number
from the Canal Zone, 2,160 cases of less than 15 days’ duration being
added to represent the estimated number of cases of meritorious
sick leave not reported from November 1, 1911, to June 30, 1912.
The difference maybe partly due to better reporting of minor acci
dents in the Isthmian Canal Zone, but also probably to the fact that all
injured employees receive gratuitous medical and surgical aid from
Government physicians and are consequently under closer medical
supervision, which, while necessarily leading to more accurate report
w o r k m e n 's

ing of accidents, must both accelerate the actual recovery from
injuries and also prevent the undue extension of absence from work
beyond the time required by the condition of the injury. Further
more, employees on the Isthmus are compensated for all periods of
disability under the system of meritorious sick leave authorized by
the act of February 24, 1909, thus differing from that provision of
the general law which allows no compensation in other departments
and branches of service in cases of disability lasting not over 15 days
and full compensation for the entire time of disability when it lasts
more than 15 days; and this fact is known to exercise a material
influence upon the reported duration of disability in individual cases
perhaps sufficient in number to affect the foregoing statistical show
ing on this point.
In the following table a comparison is made of the duration of
compensated accidents with that of noncompensated accidents for
the purpose of determining whether the fact of compensation appears
to influence in any way the duration of disability. For the purposes
of this comparison all accidents leading to a disability of 15 days
and under were eliminated, as these do not lead to any compensation
under the law. The fatal accidents were also eliminated, as in these
cases the fact of compensation can not affect the question under
consideration.

4 Not including 97 cases, duration of disability not reported.
5 Not including 145 cases, duration of disability not reported.
It appears from the above table that for each year reported the
percentage of cases in which the duration of disability was from 15 to
21 days and from 21 to 28 days was greater for compensated than for
noncompensated cases, while in most instances the noncompensated
cases show a higher proportion of the longer periods of disability. The
larger percentages in cases of minor compensated accidents as com
pared with the minor noncompensated accidents probably mean that
in the case of such minor accidents those which are entitled to com
pensation are reported more carefully; a certain extension of disability
in some cases to bring the accident within the provision of the law
that incapacity must continue for more than 15 days before the right
to compensation accrues is also probable, and has been recognized in
some degree in the administration of the law. Beyond that, however,
the statistics of the duration of accidents reveal no tendency to pro
long the period of disability unnecessarily.

B U L L E T IN

BUREAU
OF L A B O R S T A T IS T IC S .
DURATION OF DISABILITY AND CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS REPORTED.
General Table VI also furnishes material for a study of the relation
of the cause of the accident to the duration of the resultant disability,
accidents being there classified by cause and duration. Even on a
casual inspection of these tables a decided difference between effects
of different causes may be easily noticed. For purposes of a more
careful comparison all accidents (including those resulting in dis
ability of 15 days and under) have been classified as to duration in
the following summary table into six groups— those lasting not over
4 weeks, from 4 to not over 13 weeks, from 13 to not over 26 weeks,
from 26 weeks to 1 year, over 1 year (including permanent), and
fatal.
For each year the largest proportion of disability lasting not over
four weeks is found in accidents due to stepping on nails and similar
objects. Accidents caused by flying bodies, etc., and hand tools
resulted in a shorter period of disability than those from other
causes, while accidents due to shipping and water transportation,
electric currents, and explosions caused the largest proportion of
fatalities.

The average amount of compensation per nonfatal case for the 11
months of 1908-9 and for the fiscal years 1909-10, 1910-11, 1911-12,
and 1912-13 was $121.53, $113.52, $119.64, $108.89, and $106.96,
respectively. For each of these five years the average amount paid
in about one-third of the cases compensated was less than the yearly
average. Nevertheless, as a result 'of the payment of full wages as
compensation in the case of minor accidents and the discontinuance
of compensation after the period of one year, the proportion of the
total cost of the compensation system carried by the minor accidents
is very high as compared with other systems of compensation.
Roughly, the total cost for the five years reported was divided as
follows: Fatal cases, 15.7 per cent; injuries lasting over 6 months,
31.5 per cent; injuries lasting over 3 but not over 6 months, 10.4 per
cent; and those lasting not over 3 months (91 days), 42.4 per cent.
Considering the number of compensated cases, those recovering
within a week after payments accrued formed the largest single group
in all years.
NATURE OF INJURY.
General Table VIII (pp. 182-190) of this report shows thenumberand
percentage of accidents by nature of injury. Compensated and non
compensated cases are first shown separately, the Isthmian Canal

Commission and all other branches of service being distinguished, a
third section showing totals.
In many cases the injuries were complicated and somewhat difficult
to classify. Injuries to the lower extremities were most frequent
during the first three years (32 per cent in the 11 months of 1908-9,
32.04 per cent in 1909-10, and 33.15 per cent in 1910-11), followed by
those to the upper extremities (27.30 per cent in the 11 months of
1908-9, 29.30 per cent in 1909-10, and 29.52 per cent in 1910-11).
During the last two years injuries to the upper extremities were more
frequent than to the lower extremities, 31.51 per cent against 30.96
per cent in 1911-12 and 32.21 per cent against 32.11 in 1912-13.
Injuries to the fingers and feet are most numerous, while injuries to
the thighs and legs rank third for each year reported.
Although it is impossible to determine from this table the actual
results of many of the injuries, it is obvious that where there is
maiming there is a more or less serious permanent disability. For
the period from August 1, 1908, to July 1, 1913, there were reported
as nonfatal injuries 23 cases of loss of arm, 19 cases of loss of hand,
456 cases of loss of fingers, 64 cases of loss of one leg, 11 cases of loss
of both legs, 31 cases of loss of one foot, 1 case of loss of both feet,
64 cases of loss of toes, 3 cases of loss of both eyes, and 59 cases
of loss of one eye.
The table giving noncompensated cases shows that a number of
serious injuries remained without compensation, at least as far as
the action of this law is concerned, though a few may have been
covered by the Railway Mail or Life-Saving Service provisions.
Thus, of the nonfatal injuries reported from August 1, 1908, to July
1, 1913, there were 4- such cases of the loss of an arm, 2 cases of loss
of hand, 85 cases of loss of fingers, 8 cases of loss of one leg, 3 cases
of loss of both legs, 7 cases of loss of one foot, 1 case of loss of both
feet, 14 cases of loss of toes, and 10 cases of loss of one eye. In
addition, there were 188 fractures of the upper extr3mities, besides
204 fractures of fingers, 182 fractures of thigh or leg, 115 fractures of
foot, 240 fractures of ribs, 22 fractures of skull, and 90 fractures of
other bones or not clearly defined, for which nothing was received
under this act.
NATURE OF INJURY AND DURATION OF DISABILITY.
The effect of the nature of injury upon the duration of disability
may be studied in detail in general Table IX (pp. 191-249). The
data are given separately for cases under the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, for all other cases, for compensated and noncompensated
cases separately, and for all accidents.
In accordance with the provisions of the law, which contains no
reference to permanent disability, the duration of disability is as
66
B U L L E T IN
OF T H E
BUREAU
OF L A B O R
S T A T IS T IC S .
sumed to be at an end when the injured person returns to his previous
occupation or accepts work at a similar salary if not of like nature.
It has already been noted that under this system only a part of
the injuries leaving permanent, incurable effects and materially
reducing the earning capacity of the employee are registered as
permanent injuries. On the face of things, the loss of both legs,
for instance, would for most if not all the persons coming under
this act amount to permanent total* disability. The reports show,
however, that in 2 cases of this nature in 1910-11 such a classifica
tion was not made, and it can only be surmised that either the injured
workman was given employment of some sort or that the report
was furnished under a misapprehension.
While it is true that the law contemplates no following up of cases
after the expiration of one year from the beginning of disability, an
effort has been made to secure either a statement of fact as to recovery
or an estimate as to the probable permanency of disability. The
following table presents the cases of accident in which there was loss of
a limb or other part of the body, showing the number of cases re
ported as permanent, compensated and noncompensated cases being

NATURE OF INJURY AND CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS REPORTED.
General Table X (pp. 250-291) of this report classifies all accidents
reported according to the cause and nature of injury. It is of interest
in showing the existing relation between cause and effect in industrial
accidents and also furnishes data for estimating the comparative haz
ards of different industrial operations. As in other tables, the data
are shown separately for the Canal Zone and all other branches of
service.
While the data given in this table are insufficient to use as a basis
for general conclusions, their accumulation through a series of years
should be of considerable value. Injuries to the upper extremities
were caused principally by power machinery, loading, unloading, etc.,
68
BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS.
and by the use of hand tools, while the two principal causes of injuries
to the low^er extremities for each of the five years reported were the
collapse, fall, etc., of materials, etc., and loading, unloading, carrying,
etc. Flying bodies, splinters, etc., and inflammable, poisonous, etc.,
gases, vapors, etc., caused the most injuries to the eyes, and multiple
injuries were due to railway operations and to falls to a larger extent
than to any other cause.
NATURE OF INJURY AND AM OUNT OF COM PENSATION.
According to the act, the amount of compensation depends upon
two factors— the rate of pay and the time incapacitated for work,
and not at all upon the nature of injury, except as it influences the
duration of disability. No compensation is allowed after the first
year, regardless of the time incapacitated for work. Nevertheless, it
is of interest to ascertain what relation there is, if any, between the
nature of the injury and the amount of compensation paid. This is
shown in detail in General Table X I, which gives the classified cost of
nonfatal compensated cases, by nature of injury.
As appears from Table X I, in some cases very serious accidents have
been compensated by less than $100, $50, and even $25. Thus, in the
11 months of 1908-9, in 15 cases of loss of fingers, 3 fractures of arm,
and 1 fracture of leg, the injured persons received less than $25 each;
in 18 cases of loss of finger or fingers, 7 fractures of arm, 1 fracture of
leg, 10 fractures of ribs, and 1 loss of eye the compensation was from
$25 to $50; for the loss of an arm between $300 and $400 was paid,
while for the loss of both legs one person was paid between $300 and
$400 and another received between $500 and $G00. For the loss of
an eye one employee was paid between $25 and $50 and another
between $50 and $75, in 1910-11, while during the same year between
$1,250 and $1,500 was paid in one case and $1,500 to $2,000 in another
case of the same kind of an injury. During 1910-11 one employee
received less than $250 for the loss of both legs, although in 3 cases over
$2,000 was paid as compensation, in one case for a fractured rib, in
one for a fracture of the bones of the foot, and in one for a fractured
arm.
During the fiscal year 1911-12 compensation amounting to less than
$25 was paid in the following cases: Three fractures of arm, 7 frac
tures of hand, 5 cases of loss of fingers, 3 fractures of ribs, 9 hernias,
and 2 fractures of skull. Between $25 and $50 was paid in each case
for 13 fractures of arms, 12 fractures of hand, 14 cases of loss of fingers,
7 fractures of legs, 16 fractures of ribs, 48 hernias, and 4 fractures of
the skull. During this period less than $400 was paid as compensa
tion for the loss of a right arm, and two employees each received less
than $400 for the loss of the right hand. One case of loss of a leg
w o r k m e n 's
COMPENSATION UNDER ACT OF M A Y 30, 1908.
69
received between $200 and $250, while in 4 cases of loss of one leg and
1 case of loss of both legs between $300 and $400 was paid. Two
cases of fractured arms, 1 case of fractured hand, and 1 of a fractured
leg received over $2,000, while in 2 cases of loss of eye each received
less than $150. In 1 case of loss of eye between $200 and $250 was
paid, the largest amount paid for this injury being between $900 and
$1,000 in one case.
For the year 1912-13, 2 cases of fractured arms, 3 fractures of the
hand, 4 cases of the loss of fingers, 20 fractures of fingers, 1 fracture
of the leg, and 2 fractures of the skull, received in each case less than
$25 as compensation; and in each of 8 cases of fractured arms, 12
cases of fractures of the hand, 9 cases of loss of fingers, 47 cases of
fractured fingers, 6 cases of fractured legs, 14 cases of fractured ribs,
33 cases of hernias, and 4 cases of the loss of an eye, between $25 and
$50 was paid. One employee received between $500 and $600 for the
loss of a right arm; 2 cases of loss of the hand were paid from $800
to $900, and $1,000 to $1,250, respectively; while for the loss of a leg
one employee received from $700 to $800, another received from
$800 to $900, and one was paid from $900 to $1,000. Compensation
amounting to less than $1,000 was paid to one employee for the loss
of both eyes.
The data from which Table X I (pp. 292-321) is made up are sum
marized in the table below, so as to show the total and average cost of
the various cases according to the nature of the injury. The total and
average compensation for each class of injuries is shown separately for
the Isthmian Canal Commission and for all other branches of service.
Although in the case of many injuries the number is so small that the
averages obtained are without much significance, the information
conveyed in the table is sufficient to show the very small amount of
compensation paid in many cases of very serious injury, while on the
other hand, very slight injuries sometimes give rise to payments of
large sums. As the compensation during disability amounts to the
“ same pay’7the employee would have received if he had continued to
be employed, the controlling factor is in one aspect the rate of pay,
since two employees may suffer an injury of the same kind and
the term of disability be approximately the same, while one may
be receiving 10 cents per hour and the other 60 cents or more per
hour,

Despite the evident incompleteness of the act of May 30, 1908, as
a remedial provision for all conditions resulting from injuries to em
ployees of the United States, it Is none the less clear that it is in
large measure beneficial. This appears from the statistical account
of its operations as well as from a consideration of the interpretation
which it has received from the officers charged with that duty. As
a first application of the principle of compensation in this field, the
act was necessarily in some degree tentative, as is shown both by the
amendments which it has received and by the consideration already
given to the subject of complete new drafts of bills for the compen
sation of civilian employees of the United States, such bills having
been introduced and given consideration in both Houses of Congress.
A secondary effect of the enactment of the law’ has been the partial
acceptance of the rate of compensation fixed therein as a standard
in cases of special acts passed for the relief of individual claimants
not provided for by this act; and here, again, appears a disposition
favorable to an extension of the act and an adjustment of the scale
of benefits to a more equable scheme of compensation than can be
provided for by a law that takes note of no disability other than total
and makes one year’s wages the maximum of benefits, since in serious
cases before Congress there is a noticeable disposition to enlarge the
w o r k m e n 's
COMPENSATION UNDER ACT OF MAY 30, 1908.
77
allowances to meet conditions. But whether the present act be
considered as a basis for amendment or as a point of departure in
the enactment of new legislation, the results of the experience under
it for its first five years of operation are undoubtedly of value in
determining in what direction such amendment or new legislation
shall proceed.
RECENT PROPOSAL FOR AMENDMENT AND EXTENSION OF
COMPENSATION LAW.
During the second session of the Sixty-third Congress (on April 21,
1914) the Committee on the Judiciary made a favorable report on
H. R. 15222, Union Calendar No. 181, entitled “ A bill to provide com
pensation for employees of the United States suffering injuries or
occupational diseases in the course of their employment, and for
other purposes,” a copy of which appears in the appendix of this
report. This bill provides that compensation on account of injury
shall be 66§ per cent of the loss of wage-earning capacity, beginning
with the fourth day of disability, and provides for more liberal pay
ments in cases of fatal accidents. The maximum amount of com
pensation which may be paid in any one case is $66.66 per month,
and, as the title of the bill indicates, compensation is paid for inca
pacity due to occupational diseases as well as to accidents. The bill
also provides that the United States shall furnish necessary medical,
surgical, and hospital services and supplies, in addition to the above
compensation.
The bill as reported covers all employees of the United States and
of the Panama Railroad. This enlarges the scope of the proposed
protection as furnished by the present law from approximately 95,000
to a number at least four times as great. The enlargement, however,
is made by the inclusion of a large number of persons engaged in
what are usually designated as nonhazardous employments, including
the clerical service in the District of Columbia and in post offices
and customhouses throughout the country. Injuries in the course
of employment to this class of persons are, according to reports
received, very infrequent, so that the number of accidents to be
compensated would not be increased in the proportion indicated by
the number of persons affected by the proposed legislation. The
fact remains, however, that such injuries as do occur work the same
hardship in the loss of wage income in employments of this class as
if accidents were more frequent, and as the law now stands they are
without redress in the absence of special acts of Congress, no suits
lying against the Government.
An effort has been made to estimate the additional number of
accidents under a law covering disability beginning with the fourth
day instead of with the sixteenth as is the case with the present law,
78
B U L L E T IN
OF T H E
BUREAU
OF L A B O R S T A T IS T IC S .
and also covering all employees of the United States instead of the
present limited number. It is estimated that of 4,662 accidents
reported during the year ending June 30, 1912, not including the
Canal Zone, 3,480 were to workmen included under the present act
and 1,182 were to workmen not so included. Of the total number of
accidents 543 were reported as causing disability for not more than
three days, while 1,321 caused disability continuing for more than
three but not more than 15 days. Considering the number of persons
added by reason of the inclusion of all the employees and the number
of cases added by reason of the inclusion of the period of 3 to 15 days,
it appears that the number of claims would be approximately doubled.
However, 1,321 of these cases would be for the period falling between
3 and 15 days, so that the larger part of 2,007 cases which would have
been added in 1912 would increase the amount of compensation
paid only by the addition of short-term benefits.
Reports for the year 1913 disclose practically the same proportionate
results. It is estimated that under the bill H. R. 15222 there might
have been 2,100 additional cases, but of these 1,464 would have been
for periods varying from 3 to 15 days.
The further consideration remains that the proposed bill provides
continuing payments in cases of death and permanent disability, while
the present act limits compensation to one year as a maximum. By
reason of this provision of the present law the data relative to con
tinuing disabilities are not so trustworthy as would be the case if the
injuries were followed up for the purpose of compensation for longer
periods. Reports were requested, however, for all injuries resulting
in total disability beyond 365 days. Omitting the Canal Zone, in
1912 there were 79 such cases reported, and in 1913 there were 66
such cases. There were, besides these, 121 deaths in 1912 and 102 in
1913. This makes a total of 200 continuing cases by death or disa
bility for 1912 and 168 for 1913, or less than 5 per cent of the total
number of cases for the first year and less than 4 per cent for the
second year. These figures are corroborated by the data for 1909-10.
Omitting the Canal Zone, 3.92 per cent were fatal during that year,
while in 1910-11, 2.68 per cent were fatal. Add to this the number
of cases reported as extending beyond 365 days, and it makes a total
of 5.38 per cent of all cases in 1909-10 calling for compensation beyond
one year, while in 1910-11 this number amounted to 4.19 per cent of
the total.
Permanent partial disability caused by maiming must be considered
also in this connection, and for the year 1909-10, 8 per cent of all
claims allowed were for cases in which there was some degree of
maiming; in 1910-11 the number of cases of maiming amounted to
7 per cent of the compensated cases for the year. In view of the fact
that the larger percentage of the cases of maiming are losses of fingers
w o r k m e n 's
C O M P E N S A T IO N

OF

79
or parts of fingers, which in many cases would not cause a reduction
of wages, and therefore would give rise to no prolonged compensation
payments, an estimate of 10 per cent of all accidents as giving rise to
continuing disabilities seems to be a liberal one so far as can be
determined from the data secured during the administration of the
act of May 30, 1908.
As to the inclusion of occupational diseases in the proposed bill,
but little experience is available. Cases of lead poisoning and of
“ bends,” or caisson disease, have been reported in a few instances
and these have received compensation as work injuries under the
present act. Cases of lead poisoning have chiefly been reported
from the Navy Department in connection with work on the interior
of vessels, though occasional cases are found in the Government
Printing Office, some due to contact and some to the inhalation of
fumes from molten metal. In the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
there are some cases of eczema due to the constant handling of wet
materials, of synovitis from the use of ink rollers, and of rupture
from the pulling of presses. Cases of synovitis are also found among
the folders in the Government Printing Office. The inclusion of
occupational diseases under compensation laws is in line with the
legislation of Europe, and of some of the more recent laws of this
country, but would appear to be of far greater importance to the
comparatively few individuals affected by such diseases than to the
Government, which would be called upon to pay the compensation
claimed for such causes.
Besides the sums paid under the present compensation act, it
must be remembered that compensation is being paid to injured
employees in the Railway Mail and Life-Saving Services. During
the year 1909-10, $180,000 was paid under the act of May 30, 1908,
to employees in the United States, and $156,340 to employees on the
Canal Zone. In the Life-Saving Service payments were made
amounting to $11,980, and in the Railway Mail Service to the amount
of $99,220, the total for the year being in round numbers $447,500.
For the next year the payments aggregated $482,358. It appears,
therefore, that the Government is at the present time making com
pensation payments for death and injury in an amount approx
imating $500,000. In all cases the amount for total disability is full
wages during the first year, half wages during the second year being
paid in the Railway Mail Service and the Life-Saving Service. It is
evident that the substitution of a two-thirds benefit instead of full pay,
as proposed by the bill under discussion, would reduce the expense for
the first year by one-third, in so far as the new law applied to per
sons receiving benefits under existing law. Inasmuch as at least
one-half the additions would be for short-term disabilities, it seems
80
B U L L E T IN
OF T H E
BUREAU
OF L A B O R S T A T IS T IC S .
probable that the extension of the law tc cover all classes of employees
from the third day of disability would result in no actual increase
in the amount expended during the early years of its operation.
The cumulative effect of payments continuing after the first year can
only be approximately estimated, but as stated above would seem
to fall below 10 per cent increase annually, which, after the first years,
would be offset to some extent by the dropping out of limited-term
payments, as by children reaching the age of 18 years, and the
expiration of the terms of payments to parents, etc., besides cases
of widows marrying, and beneficiaries dying.
Another feature of the present laws can not be ignored in the light
of administrative experience. It is the uniform conclusion that the
intent of a compensation law is to afford relief and prevent distress
on account of disability incurred in course of employment, and that
it is not practicable, if desirable, to pay to a workman not employed
equal wages to the amount that he was earning while employed. Cer
tain expenses of food, clothing, and travel are saved to a man who is
at home, while the provision of the bill which provides medical care
looks after the extra burden accruing in this respect in case of injury.
To offer a man the same wages while not employed as when employed
puts too heavy a strain on the integrity of many persons; and even
if not intentionally dishonest, it is a medical fact well demonstrated
in experience that a person requires some stimulus in order to induce
him to take up the activities of his employment after they have been
laid down for a time by reason of injury or enfeeblement of the body.
It can not be denied that cases of malingering have occurred under
the administration of the present act of May 30, 1908, and as the law
is drafted and administered it is impossible to exercise the necessary
supervision entirely to prevent such occurrences. With a reduction
of the rate of compensation to two-thirds of the pay and the limita
tion of $66.66§ as the monthly maximum amount that any workman
could receive as compensation, regardless of the amount that he may
be receiving as earnings when employed, there would be afforded a
degree of stimulus to return to work, while the opportunity of con
tinuing unemployment without loss of pay would be withdrawn. It
is believed, therefore, that the proposed bill would involve an expense
for the first year not exceeding the present cost, and in all probability
would fall below it by reason of the fact that in the $482,000 paid out in
the year 1910-11, for instance, there were many cases in which the
amount of compensation paid was to persons receiving in excess of
$66.66§ per month as benefits. Indeed, of the fatal compensated cases
during that year under the act of May 30, 1908, 22 of the 119 received
from $900 to $2,500 for the year’s benefits, while of the nonfatal
cases for that year 810 of the 2,818 compensated cases were of work
w o r k m e n 's
C O M P E N S A T IO N
UNDER ACT
OF M A Y
30, 1908.
81
men receiving from $900 to $2,500. Under the act in question no
year’s payments on account of injury to an individual could exceed
$800.
The cost of medical attention must of course be added to these
amounts, and in this field the office has absolutely no experience. It
is a fact, however, that in the principal establishments and places of
employment under the Government a medical officer is maintained
who uniformly gives first-aid treatment, and frequently dresses
slight injuries so that a considerable saving would be effected over
what would be the case if no such provision existed.
Experience under the act of May 30, 1908, shows that the failure
of many workmen to secure the treatment needed, with the hope of
an unaided recovery, has proved costly both to the injured man and
to the Government; while the value of a careful continuous medical
supervision has been fully demonstrated. Provision for medical
treatment for longer or shorter periods is made in the great majority
of State laws, and this is in accord with practice of the principal con
tinental European countries.

was last seen by his attending physician.
6. Examinations.-—For the purpose of the medical examinations prescribed by the
act, the injured employee shall appear at the dispensary of the establishment when
ever directed to do so; but if he claims to be unable to present himself for such exami

there be one, for examination and first-aid treatment.
13. Reports of injuries.— All injuries which prevent the employee from performing
work for one day or longer should be reported to the Secretary of Labor by the official
superior of such employee, on the form provided for that purpose, within 48 hours
after such injuries ha\^e been brought to the notice of such official superior. The
reports called for in paragraphs numbered 1, 3, 13, 14, and 16 should be made for all
employees regardless of the application of the provisions governing compensation.
14. Report of termination of disability.—Whenever a person who has been reported

report the termination of such disability to the Secretary of Labor on the proper form.
15. Disagreements.— The official superior should make immediate report directly
to the Secretary of Labor of all cases of disagreement between the injured employee
and the official examining physician as to the ability of the employee to resume work.
16. Report of death.— Whenever an injury received in the course of employment'
results in death, either immediately or within one year thereafter, such death should
be reported on the proper form as soon as possible after the knowledge of such death

21. Payments.— Payments under this law should be made at the regular intervals at
which salaries are paid to all employees, except payments accrued before the receipt
of the approved claim, which should be made as soon after the receipt of the approval
as possible so as to avoid unnecessary hardship to the employee. If subsistence is
furnished during employment but not during the period of disability, the value of
the subsistence should be allowed to the injured workman during disability in
addition to the wages usually paid in cash.
When compensation is approved for a fixed period, payments may be made on trie
authority of such approval without further evidence.
When compensation is approved for an indefinite period, each payment shall be
based upon the certificate signed by the claimant and approved by the claimant’s
official superior to the effect that during the time covered by the said payment the
claimant was unable to resume work and that inability to so resume work was the re
sult of the injury for which compensation was granted.
In no case shall annual leave be charged against any portion of the period for which
compensation is due.
22. Certificates.— If the claimant’s superior officer is unable to satisfy himself that
the claimant was unable to resume work for any period for which compensation is
claimed, he may require that the claimant submit to him a certificate from a duly
authorized medical practitioner showing the continuance of the inability to resume
work.
23. Special examinations.— If this medical certificate is satisfactory to the official
superior, he should then approve payment; but if the certificate does not satisfy him
he may require the medical officer or officially designated physician, where such is
available, to examine the claimant for the purpose of ascertaining whether the dis
ability still exists.
24. Payments withheld.— In all cases where the continuance of disability has not been
proved to the satisfaction of the superior officer, or where the results of the examina
tion of the claimant by the medical officer or officially designated physician are con
tradictory to the statements of the attending physician, payments should be withheld
and a report of these facts should be immediately forwarded directly to the Secretary
of Labor. A detailed report of the examination of the claimant by the medical officer
or officially designated physician, if any has been made, should accompany this
report, together with the statement of the employee and a certificate of his attending
physician.
25. Examination by physician of Department of Labor.— On receipt of reports con
cerning disagreement between the claimant or his physician and the official superior,
the Secretary of Labor will immediately order an examination of the claimant by a
physician designated by him, so as to ascertain the claimant’s ability to return to work.
26. Decision.— The decision of the department will then be communicated to the
official superior. If the claim of the injured person be sustained, the amount due him
should be paid as soon as possible after the receipt of the decision.
27. Discontinuance of payments.— When payments are discontinued because of re
covery or other reason, such fact should be reported to the Department of Labor on
the blanks furnished for that purpose.
28. Examination at end of six months.— Whenever compensation has been paid for
any case of disability for five months and there is a possibility of the disability lasting
so as to extend over six months, the official superior of the injured employee should

a medical examination.
29.
Death.— Whenever a person in the employ of the Government shall die as the
result of injury received in the course of his employment, and his wife, his children
under 16 years of age, or his parents desire to claim payment under this act, they should
be furnished with blank forms of claim for compensation. If the official superior has
reason to believe that the person so injured is covered by the provisions of the law he
should inform the dependent relatives, if the names and addresses of such relatives
can be ascertained by him, of the necessary procedure under the law and the provision
as to the 90-day limit.
If the persons who may be entitled to compensation on account of the death of an
employee are located in a foreign country, they may file their affidavits of claim, re
spectively, with the consular officer of the United States located most conveniently,
and any affidavit so filed within 90 days after the death will be considered as having
been duly filed with the Secretary of Labor, as required by section 4 of the compen
sation act.
80. Death benefits.— Claims for compensation on account of death should be forwarded
to the Secretary of Labor. If the claim be established and compensation is due to
more than one person the Secretary of Labor will designate the portion to be paid to
each claimant.
3 1. Employees to have laws and regulations.— Copies of the law and the regulations
should be on hand in each establishment and, upon request, furnished free to all em
ployees for their information and guidance.
A summary prepared by the Secretary of Labor, presenting the principal provisions
of the compensation act and the regulations governing its application, should be posted
in establishments affected by the act, in such numbers and places as to be easily
accessible to all the workmen.

head of the establishment of the exact extent of the injury and the nature of the treat
ment administered, and a detailed record of the same should be kept on file in his
office.
33. Subsequent examinations.— The medical officer or officially designated physician
should examine the injured employee as frequently as is necessary in his opinion or in
the opinion of the head of the establishment during the absence of such employee from
his work.
34. Records.— A record of each examination by the medical officer or officially desig
nated physician should be made in detail and contain an accurate description of the
general condition of the employee,the state of the injuries, and an opinion as to whether
the disability still continues. Such record should be kept on file in the office of the
medical officer or officially designated physician, and reports of the findings should
be made to the head of the establishment.
35. Treatment.— The medical officer or officially designated physician should ascer
tain whether the injured employee is under treatment of a duly licensed practitioner
of medicine, and if he finds this not to be the case he should inform the injured em
ployee of the necessity of medical attendance whenever such necessity exists.
36. Opinion as to termination of disability.— The medical officer or officially desig
nated physician making any examination should inform the injured employee of his
opinion concerning the continuance or termination of disability.

APPENDIX B.—BILL TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION FOR EMPLOYEES
OF THE UNITED STATES SUFFERING INJURIES OR OCCUPATIONAL
DISEASES IN THE COURSE OF THEIR EMPLOYMENT, AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES.1
S e c t io n " 1. The United States shall pay compensation as hereinafter specified for
the disability or death of an employee resulting from a personal injury sustained in
the course of his employment:, and for the disability, death, or suspension from work
of an employee resulting from an occupational disease contracted in the course of his
employment; but no compensation shall be paid if the injury, death, or occupational
disease is caused by the employee’s intention to bring about the injury or death of
himself or of another, or if the injury or death results solely from the intoxication of
the injured employee in the course of his employment.
S e c . 2. During the first three days of disability the employee shall not be entitled
to compensation except as provided in section ten. No compensation shall at any
time be paid for such period.
S e c . 3. If the disability is total the United States shall pay to the disabled em
ployee during such disability a monthly compensation equal to sixty-six and twothirds per centum of his monthly pay.
S e c . 4. If the disability is partial the United States shall pay to the disabled
employee during such disability a monthly compensation equal to sixty-six and
two-thirds per centum of the difference between his monthly pay and his monthly
wage-earning capacity after the beginning of such partial disability. The commis
sion may, from time to time, require a partially disabled employee to make an affidavit
as to the wages which he is then receiving. In such affidavit the employee shall
include a statement of the value of housing, board, lodging, and other advantages
which are received from the employer as a part of his remuneration and which canbe
estimated in money. If the employee, when required, fails to make such affidavit
lie shall not be entitled to any compensation while such failure continues, and the
period of such failure shall be deducted from the period during which compensation
is payable to him.
S ec. 5. If a partially disabled employee refuses to work after suitable work is
furnished to or secured for him by the United States he shall not be entitled to any
compensation while such refusal continues, and the period of sucn refusal shall be
deducted from the period during which compensation is payable to him.
S e c . 6 . If, as a result of any examination authorized by section twenty-three
any employee is found to have contracted any occupational disease he may, in the
discretion of the commission, although not disabled, be suspended from work, or,
if practicable, given other work which he may be physically able to do until such
time as, in the opinion of the commission, it is safe for him to return to his regular
work. During such suspension or substitute employment the United States, if he
has contracted the disease in the course of his employment, shall pay to him a monthly
compensation as for total or partial disability, as the case may be.
S e c . 7. The monthly compensation for total disability or for suspension from work
shall not be more than $ 6 6 .6 7 nor less than $ 3 3 .3 3 . unless the employee’s monthly
pay is less than $3 3 .3 3 , in which case his monthly compensation shall be the full
amount of his monthly pay. The monthly compensation for partial disability shall
not be more than $ 6 6 .6 7 . In the case of persons who at the time of the injury or of
the beginning of disability or suspension from work resulting from an occupational
disease were minors or employed in a learner’s capacity and who were not physically
or mentally defective, the commission shall, on any review after the time when the
monthly wage-earning capacity of such persons would probably, but for the injury
or disease, have increased, award compensation based on such probable monthly
wage-earning capacity. The commission may, on any review after the time when
the monthly wage-earning capacity of the disabled employee would probably, irre
spective of the injury or disease, have decreased on account of old age, award com
pensation based on such probable monthly wage-earning capacity.
S e c . 8. As long as the employee is in receipt of compensation under this act,
or, if he has been paid a lump sum in commutation of installment payments, until
the expiration of the period during which such installment payments would have
continued, he shall not receive from the United States any salary, pay, or remunera
tion whatsoever except in return for services actually performed, and except pensions.
S e c . 9 . If at the time the disability or suspension from work begins the employee
has annual or sick leave to his credit he may, subject to the approval of the head of
the department, use such leave until it is exhausted, in which case his compensation
shall, in the case of suspension from work, begin immediately after the annual or
sick leave has ceased, and, in the case of disability, begin on the fourth day of disa
bility after the annual or sick leave has ceased.

work due to an occupational disease contracted by an employee in the course of his
employment, and for a reasonable time thereafter, the United States shall furnish
to such employee reasonable medical, surgical, and hospital services and supplies
