Abstract
It is well known to everyone who has any connection with the business of Workmen's Compensation Insurance in New York State that, effective September 1, 1935, the New York Workmen's Compensation Law was extended so as to provide compensation for all occupational diseases. Prior to that date most of the recognized occupational diseases had been compensated under a definite schedule of 27 paragraphs describing the several diseases and the processes in which they might be contracted. By the amendment of September 1st, a new paragraph 28 was added extending the Law to include "any and all occupational diseases" in "any and all employments enumerated" in the Law as hazardous employments. The only limitation on this extension of the Act is a provision that it does not "apply to any case of occupational disease in which the last injurious exposure to the hazards of the disease occurred prior to September first, nineteen hundred thirty-five."
