Elbert H. Gray, chairman of United States Steel Corporation, outlines a relief plan for employees injured at work and for families of men killed. The program starts May 1 for a one year test, costing several millions annually with no employee contribution, following a pay increase of about nine million dollars a year.
For temporary disablement single men receive 35 percent of wages and married men 50 percent with an extra five percent per child under 16 and two percent per year of service beyond five. For permanent injuries limp payments depend on how the injury hampers work and the victim’s earning capacity. If an employee is killed families get a sum equal to a year and a half of wages plus ten percent per child under 16 and three percent per year of service beyond five. A ten day waiting period applies before relief begins.
