About the author

This work is credited to the National Conference on Workmen's Compensation for Industrial Accidents, the organization behind a series of early twentieth-century meetings on workplace injury law and reform. Records for the proceedings identify the conference itself, rather than a single named individual, as the author.

The third conference was held in Chicago in 1910, following earlier meetings in Atlantic City in 1909 and Washington in 1910. The proceedings bring together speeches, discussions, and committee work focused on the growing movement for workmen's compensation in the United States.

Because this is a conference body rather than a personal author, there does not appear to be a single confirmed portrait that fits an "About the Author" profile image. In that sense, the book is best understood as a collective document of an important reform moment rather than the work of one writer.
