Abstract

Workingmen and Disease
October 12, 1911 issue

add to cart   close window

No less than three of the leading magazines of the U.S. devote long and thoughtful articles to the subject of "industrial," or "occupational," disease. The question of workingmen's compensation has been actively discussed of late. Legislation, following in the wake of public opinion, has accepted the principle that what are described as accidents are to a very great extent only a regular incident of industry as it is carried on to day. It is not necessary to go into a lengthy enumeration of the special forms of occupational disease. But while there is no need of formal statistics to prove the existence of a problem, there should be figures as a preliminary step toward effective remedial legislation.
