percentage of the total wages paid to all employees subject to the Article
for such preceding four months' period; provided however, that in order
to create a fund available upon the application of this Article as aforesaid
on November first, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, the payments
for the months of November, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, to
February, inclusive, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, shall be made
on or before November first, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen and
be preliminarily based upon the pay roll of the operations of the first four
months of the year one thousand nine hundred and fourteen. If any em-
ployer be found to have overpaid for such four months he may deduct
such overpayment from the next succeeding four months' payment made
to the fund; if any employer be found to have underpaid for such four
months, he shall pay the deficiency with the payment made by him after
the end of said four months.

entire compensation received by every workman employed in extra-
hazardous work and insured in the State Accident Fund, within the mean-
ing of this article, shall be included, whether it be in the form of salary,

premium or otherwise, and whether payable in money, board or otherwise.

fixed by parties at the time of hiring.
