North Carolina Wins Praise for New Workmen's Compensation Law
Enterprise Bureau reports North Carolina adopted a broadly praised workmen's compensation law, touted as among the ten best in the nation. The bill passed both readings and awaits ratification, with Governor Gardner lauded for driving its enactment and amendments by opponents balancing benefits for labor without overburdening manufacturers. The measure guarantees medical care at employer expense and weekly compensation during disability, with limited amendments proposed but rejected.
