The State Industrial Accident Commission is charged with the duty
St administering the Workmen's Compensation Law. The law provides,
first, for the payment of compensation to employees injured in certain
extra-hazardous employments, and to their dependents in case of death;
second, for all employers in such occupations shall secure the payment
of such compensation by insuring their liability in a stock company, or
the State Accident Fund, or by proving to the satisfaction of the Com-
mission their financial ability to pay the compensation direct.
The business of the Commission is to administer to the Workmen's
Compensation Act and involves determining what occupations are in-
cluded, receiving reports of accidents, receiving, investigating and ad-
judicating claims arising under the Act. Hearings are held in contested
eases. In addition to these duties, the Commission administers to the
State Accident Fund, which is operated by the Act, as one of the methods
by which employers must insure.
