2 COMPENSATION RULINGS ISSUED Payment of Hospital Charge by Beneficial Society Does Not Relieve Employer Compensation Commissioner John A. Scott lias uphold awards by Ref eree Jacob Snyder and dismissed ap peals in two cases arising in tlic Al toona district, one case involving in jury during some "horse play." In this case William Ernest Harmon, Al toona, delivery boy for L. C. Lani bour, Altoona, was hurt in a tussle with a compimion which occurred while he was feeding the horse of his employer.

The payment by the society was one to which the employee was entitled by virtue of his member ship and was not made voluntarily by the society, says the opinion. In the case of Mary Albert! vs. M. S. Kemmer & Company, Sandy Run, It is held that the claimant failed to es tablish that her husband died from burns sustained in a mine. The em ployers claimed he was burned in his own home.
