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

our soldiers, the stamping out of yel

wounds, the marvelous accomplish
ments of modern surgery, all are
made possible by medical research
and vivisection. Opposition to this is
valueing the lives and suffering of

and sugerlng of your children, your
defenders, your fellow men.

For the mentally insufficient, cer

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

that real science has developed for \
the over present suffering from mala-,

over cases of deficient mentality to
the institutions regularly provided

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.
