RAILROAD CASES GET PRECEDENCE Compensation Board Gives Decisions in Several Ap peals Taken Recently In deciding against allowing the appeal of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company from the award of compensation by the referee in the case of Frederick J. Hlbbard, Philadelphia, who lost a leg as the result of infection from a blister rubbed open on his anule after he had been scalded while at work a few days previous, the work men's compensation board makes the fine distinction that while the com pany involved is an interstate com merce concern, the car in the hand ling of which the accident occurred was not in interstate service. The company contended that the board had no jurisdiction and that the ac cident came under federal regula tion. In the case of Philip PentJ bone, Reading,, appealing from the disallowance of compensation claimed from the Philadelphia and Reading, the board decides that the accident occurred in interstate oper ations and therefore is for federal adjustment. The Aetna Explosives Company is informed in the case of N. W. Shel lito, Huntingdon county, that in a contract for hiring the employe be ing entitled to a bonus as induce ment to enter the service the bonus should be included in computing the compensation due the injured em ploye. In the case of Rosie Tur owski, Scranton, vs. the Lehigh Val ley Coal Company it was shown "hat the wife had not lived with the husband for 12 years and she is not allowed compensation, but the com pany is ordered to bear the funeral expenses. Taliir Hamet, Philadel phia, is refused compensation, the board holding with the referee liint his disabilities are duo to an acci dent in 1915, the board emphasising its decision to stand wherever pos sible on the ground taken by the referee. The same action is taken in the case of James Gonzales, Phil adelphia vs. P. M. Walton and Com pany. Th Workmen's Compensation Roard's decisions in three appeals to court in Montgomery, Luzerne and Berks counties, are upheld in opinions made public by the board here to-day. WORK ON SHOPS IS BEING RUSHED t Continued from First Paflrc. ] owing to the fact that they are now considerably ahead of the time limit specifications of the contract. Other departments of the plant will not be held up in their operations as a re sult of the fire. Work on salvaging valuable equipment from the ruins lias already been started, and it is thought that some of the machinery can be utilized. The cause of the fire has not been definitely determined, although the officials of the company have accept ed the theory that a can of exploding paint started the blaze. The cause of the explosion has not been learn ed. The quick flaring blaze gave rise to numerous rumors about the city yesterday, causing the gen eral belief that the fire was due to explosion of munitions. It was point ed out at the plant that there are no explosives at the plant, and that the shells are sent elsewhere to be filled. Company officials said this morning that the rumor had even spread to San Francisco, and the company had received a telegram from that city asking if it were true that the entire plant had blown up with the loss of many lives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITQR~| THE RED CROSS Tt the* liditor of the Telegraph: We are in this war to win and the Red Cross is one of the most potent factors for accomplishing this pur pose. Any organization that inter feres with the unanimous action of our people in giving, it their loyal support, is in the nature of treason. An attack on the head of our local Red Cross is one and the same thing. Suppose every organization would consider it its duty, or pretend they did, to withhold their support from the Red Cross, whether in the name of religion or not, there would result the chaotic condition which the Red Cross is primarily organized to prevent, and no loyal Americans fighting for the democracy of the world, and willing to give their all to win, would agree that our leader or any member of the magnificent TUBE SALE 3*4>/4 ... .VHO I Tjr • 1 . :isx4Mi ... $5.58 Knight :u*4 ~..

Opposition to this is valueing the lives and suffering of dogs and cats more than the lives and sugerlng of your children, your defenders, your fellow men. r-tiv mnr-w. a For the mentally insufficient, cer tain forms of suggestive methods must be used but they are not now, and never will be or any value to men like the one who has come under this so-called criticism. He like all the other progressive and competent men of affairs of to day, would use the rational remedies that real science has developed for \ the over present suffering from mala-, dies or accidents and would hand over cases of deficient mentality to the institutions regularly provided for by the state. CITIZEN'. ixixti-srn'ioKLVci CITY To !ne Editor of the Telegraph: . Many people are asking the ques- tion, "How much longer is this dis graceful condition of the steam heat plant to continue?" This is the third time this winter that, for several days in many of the houses, there has been no steam heat, and last Sunday a number of the churches were not able to hold services for the same reason. Once, last winter, the same state of affairs existed; but it was supposed that, after such an experience, dur ing the summer the plant would have been enlarged and everything put in order to meet the require ments of the largely increased num ber of persons who were taking steam heat under tlio mistaken idea that with city steam, their homes would be perfectly comfortable. It is to be hoped that the report that the Penn-Harris hotel is to be heated with i-lty steam is incorrect; other wise, at the llrst approach of cold weather, the guests would all leave, and the stigma, which has rested upon our city l'or so many years on account of our wretched hotel ac commodations, would not be remov ed. The present plant is evidently only adequate for very mild weather. AN INDIGNANT SUFFERER. 5
