The Industrial Compensation Rating Schedule, 1918 [Discussion]

Everyone who has come in contact with the latest edition of the Industrial Compensation Rating Schedule will admit its superiority over the schedules which had their existence prior to1918 and out of which the present schedule has developed. I can find no basis for criticism, therefore, of Mr. Downey's analysis of the faults of the first workmen's compensation schedules, nor have I any comment to offer with reference to the efforts of the National Reference Committee on Schedule Eating to overcome these faults and to produce a truly practicable and equitable plan of schedule rating.
