Transcripts of public hearings, 1943-1944.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79384932

These are transcripts of testimony taken by the Commission at public hearings held between March 1943 and May 1944. Commissioner Herman T. Stichman opened the hearings with a statement summarizing the history of compensation legislation in New York State and outlining statements and charges made concerning administration of the Workmen's Compensation Law leading to the establishment of the Commission. The hearings were being held, according to Stichman, to "reveal factors which have prevented a full measure of aid from reaching the persons the citizens of this State intended to benefit [and thus] insure a more effective functioning of future laws."
