Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Work Accident Indemnity in Iowa This volume is an outgrowth of the chapter on The Law of Employers' Liability in the writer's History of Labor Legislation in Iowa a book published by The State His torical Society of Iowa in 1910. An expansion Of that chap ter which would bring the narrative down to date and sup plement the analysis of Iowa laws with a comparative survey of accident indemnity in other States and countries was undertaken early in the spring of 1911 at the request of The State Historical Society of Iowa. Originally designed as a paper for the Iowa Applied History Series, it soon appeared that so short a sketch would not in itself be adequate in deal ing with a subject at once so large, so complicated and, in the United States, so comparatively new. The study has, accordingly, grown to the proportions of a volume, and the paper which was at first planned has been issued as an abridgment in the Iowa Applied History Series.
