JAPAN BY THE JAPANESE

For those who are wounded or who die while working in factories the employer must pay:

  1. The expense incurred by the medical operation and the nursing.
  2. Half the wages at least when the condition of the sufferer requires rest for more than five days.
  3. The wages for at least two years (250 yen as maximum) when the employé is accidentally disabled for life.
  4. The funeral expenses of 20 yen as maximum when accident causes death.
  5. An amount equivalent to wages for a year and a half, but not more than 200 yen, to the surviving family, if there be any.

When employés in boarding-houses are injured or become ill, the employer must look after them at least for three months. In case they die, funeral expenses must be borne by the employer.

Factories are under the control of the Prefects, and under the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce.
