It may mean the world to any one of the employees of Clinton - Lydia Mills. It may mean the difference between getting the finest medical care and payment for his misfortune ai no cosi xo nimseu on tne one hand, or being forced to call upon his own resources and savings to meet the shock of the accident. Because it is so important it might be thought that every worker would make it his business to find out how the Workmen's Compensation Law affects him. It is strange but true that not very many employees have any exact knowledge about workmen's compensation at all. Workmen's compensation is a plan, set up by South Carolina law, which endeavors to award financial assistance to employees injured at work and financial assistance to dependents of employees killed while on the job. The idea behind workmen's compensation is to make the situation better for both the woiKer and the employer. In most on-the-job accidents in an industry, cov 11 it - i- * erea oy mc iaw, tne worKer gets compensation and medical care. Benefits under this law are paid either by private insurance companies to which the employers have paid premiums or by the employers themselves. Clinton-Lydia Mills fall into the latter group as a "selfinsurer." under a plan whereby the company's financial responsibility for compensation payments is established with the State Industrial Commission.

Our mills pay the entire cost of these benefits. The mill is responsible for providing adequate medical care immediately when an accident occurs and for continuing that care as long as the conditions warrant. The worker must accept the medical care offered and present himself for examination onrl f rnnttYionf onnnr/^ 1 n cf uiiu n v.a iiiiv.ii i av.v.vji uiu^ ww the physician's instructions.

Mrs. )MPENSATION IN NEEDED If the injury is such that a specialist's attention is required, Clinton-Lydia Mills see that the worker gets this type of medical treatment. The company is charged by the law with the resnrmsihili ty of selecting and approving the physician who is furnishing treatment. Should the worker prefer to be treated by his own physician, the company must approve the selection. If a worker insists upon his own doctor without approval from the company or the Industrial Commission, the worker then assumes the responsibility for paying the doctor and for the type of treatment he receives. Conflicts over selection of a physician do not arise often (Continued on Page 8) i Miya 7 jpL ^ > A fc \?/J a rf
