Missouri Workmen's Compens ation Plan Aims for Ballot Approval
Missouri considers a proposed Workmen's Compensation Act to be placed on the November ballot via initiative petitions. It requires state liability insurance for employers with two or more workers, creates a five member state commission, and an appropriation of 4.15 million dollars to fund it. Maximum weekly indemnity would be 30 dollars, with minimums for various disability categories. The plan also allows workers to choose their own physician and hospital.
