Excerpt from Final Report on Laws Relating to the Liability of Employers: To Make Compensation to Their Employees, for Injuries Received in the Course of Their, Employment Which Are in Force in Other Countries
On the other hand the current cost plan is vigorously denounced by Mr. Sherman, who contend-s that it is manifestly unfair to the employer of the future because it shifts upon his shoulders part of the burden of compensating for acci dents which have happened before he became an employer, and that it results in low assessments in the early years of the operation of the law, and necessarily increases in the later years, until in a measurable period of time they become a burden too oppressive for the employer of the future to bear.
In support of his view Mr. Sherman referred to the rates in Germany, which he said, now average about double what they were at the beginning, and he added that it is calculated that they will not reach their stable maximum for some twenty years more. How much more they will then be no one knows, but the majority guess is they will then double.
Mr. Wolfe, is equally emphatic in his condemnation of the current cost plan, and in addition to his oral testimony presented a table which appears on page 147 of the appendix to this report, and which he contended demonstrates the accuracy of his conclusions.
