Soaring Insurance Costs are
Opposed
Go Now! Pay Later In Easy Monthly Installments
ODESSA — An organization
has been formed in Odessa to
fight the inroads being made
by soaring workmen’s compen-
sation insurance costs into the
profits of the companies and
the pay checks of workers.
The group, which represents
trucking companies, drilling
contractors, casing crews, well
money on workmen’s compen-
sation insurance,” Caldwell re-
ported.
‘‘But it is aimed at the ‘pro-
fessional
anywhere from $10 to $20 per
hundred dollars in salary above
the check received by the work-
er.
‘‘Our campaign is not aimed
at eliminating awards to per-
sons that actually have been
injured, nor is it attempting to
reduce insurance company prof-
its . . . nine out of ten insur-
ance firms already are losing
service firms, etc., is the In-
dustrial Foundation of the Per-
mian Basin.
It has set out to eliminate
“professional claimants;” to
encourage businessmen to serve
on juries; to inform people of
the costs to them of big judg-
ments; to encourage support of
worthwhile legislation in Austin
and other related objectives all
dovetailing at the same goal.
• Executive Secretary Don Cald-
well of Odessa outlines this goal
as an effort “ . . . to reduce the
insurance premium overhead of
an industry that is caught in
the profit squeeze.”
The representative of the
group pointed out that many
thousands of oil well service
company employes never see
one dollar in six: of the money
they cost their employers.

surance cost$ oil field service

Caldwell said.
The foundation will make no
effort to control these people,
he stated. It will leave this to
