Excerpt from Report of Industrial Accidents Commission, 1915 Since then Workmen's Compensation Acts have been passed in ten States (connecticut, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Oregon, Texas and West Virginia), so that such Acts are now in effect in twenty - three of the forty - eight States in the Union. The only States of considerable industrial im portance in which compensation is not secured in some form or other to sufferers from industrial accidents are Pennsylvania, Indiana and Missouri. When the previous Commission made its report in 1913, it was forced to rely to a large extent upon pre dictions as to the probable beneficial effects of the legis lation then proposed, or upon the experience of the many European countries in which similar Acts had been in force for many years.
