4.9/5 (15725 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Workingmen's Insurance in Europe Realizing that the subject of insurance for workingmen was one of the great importance and that it was a pressing one in the United States, the Russell Sage Foundation early in 1908 secured the services of Mr. Lee K. Frankel to make a study of insurance in Europe. Mr. Frankel was specially qualified for the work by his wide experience in social work and a knowledge of the problems involved gained by acquaintance with families of working people. Soon after he began to plan the study he associated with him Mr. Miles M.Dawson, who was thoroughly expert on the technical side of insurance and well informed as to its social bearings. Information about workingmen's insurance is specially needed at this time. Eight states have appointed official commissions to study the subject and report plans for adoption. These commissions include employers, members of trade unions and social workers. A committee of the National Manufacturers Association, after much study, submitted an interesting report at the recent annual meeting of the Association. The committees resolution adopting the principle of compensation, in preference to the system of employers liability now prevalent, were passed unanimously, as well as a resolution urging a wider use of preventive machinery. Two conferences of members of state commissions and others interested have been held. The interest in insurance is evidently widespread and steadily growing. Yet there has been little experience in the United States on which to base positive recommendations; nor have we sufficient information, in easily accessible form, to enable us to decide how European precedents may be wisely followed under American conditions. This volume presents the results of a careful investigation, covering about six months, of the systems of insuring workingmen in operation in European countries.
