Labor Laws Attacked In the committee report on labor laws it was asserted: That physicians in the employ of the insurance companies are treating men for the companies, and then represent the Industrial Board in the capacity of medical examiners. That Insurance companies. have been making it dimcult for Injured claimants under the compensation laws to get treatment without paying on for it themselves, because the companies underpay hospitals and medical attendants. That state referees in compensation cases have failed to give weight to statements by physicians for claimanta and by adjournments and other means have often so delayed decisions as to nullify the intentions of the compensation act. "The referees seem to be willing to do the bidding of the insurance.com• panten in every way the report A said.

Dissatisfaction General Dissatisfaction all over the state was reported by various delegates who described delays in compensating Injured men of their acquaintance.
