WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION

Under the Territorial workmen's compensation law an industrial accident board is appointed by the governor for each municipal division. The board, sitting at Honolulu, held 50 meetings, passed upon 342 claims involving 781 hearings. Thirty-seven racial classifications were represented in the 5,873 accidents dealt with; married 2,869, single 3,004.

The majority of the sugar and pineapple plantations and canneries maintain their own medical staff and hospitals for the care of their employees and do not report to the board the cost of the medical and hospital services for each individual accident. For this reason the figures quoted above do not include these items of expense, to wit, medical, surgical, and hospital services and supplies afforded employees of plantations and canneries.

Hawaii County.-The industrial accident board notes quite a decrease in the number of accidents-1,447 as compared with 1,593. There were 607 accidents, or 41.94 per cent, which did not entail compensation. In a number of cases compensation was voluntarily paid by the employer. There were nine fatal accidents.

Medical expenses during the year totaled $23,113. The amount reported as paid for compensation during this period is $14,690. In many instances where compensation is allowed for permanent partial disability reports are not received until the last payment is made. These, as well as payments made account fatal accidents, often run over long periods and extend from one year to another.

Maui County.-The industrial accident board held 11 meetings. Accidents reported, 963. Total paid recovered employees, $11,991.45. Medical and hospital expense reported, $9,258.27. Compensation being paid as death benefits, $2,082.58; for periodical payments, amputations, etc., $986.19.

Kauai board. Total number of accidents reported, 232. Number of accidents with compensation, 105. Amount of compensation paid, $4,454.58.

Very respectfully,

LAWRENCE M. JUDD,
Governor of Hawaii.
