create a fund sufficiently large to guarantee a workmen's compensation

ployer in any class; provided, also, that for the purpose of this article
the pay of the employe partly within and partly without the State
shall be deemed to be such proportion of the total pay of such employe
as his service within the State bears to his services outside the State.
