§ 77. Mr. LEACHasked the Secretary to the Treasury if he will state where a charwoman works for Mrs. A. every Monday and for Mrs. B. every Tuesday, and Mrs. B. refuses to pay any portion of the insurance for the charwoman, whether Mrs. A. is in that case compelled to pay the full insurance every Monday, thus allowing Mrs. B. to escape all payment?
§ Mr. MASTERMANIn the absence of any agreement between the various employers to pay contributions in rotation, the first employer is liable. In a large number of cases where single workers are employed, I am informed that though employers do not find it necessary to enter into formal agreements informal arrangements are made among two or more employers to stamp the worker's card in such rotation as may be fair and convenient. The first employer still remains legally liable, but provided the card is properly stamped, his liability is nominal only and no difficulties arise.
