STEELTON NEWS ITEMS STEELTON CASE DECISION GIVEN Compensation Board Lays Down Principle Regarding Compensation Amendments The State Compensation Board in a decision by Commissioner James W. Leech in the claim of Torok vs. Bethlehem Steel Company, a Steel ton case, holds that the board "has authority to permit an amended claim petition' to be tiled when, in its discretion, the facts warrant such action," but i(Jso says, "This board will not entertain dilatory motions nor be much influenced by techni calities raised in the pleadings, but will rather be governed by a desire to get all of the facts uyon which a proper judgment may be based." The board refused to change the action of Referee Cummings in disallowing compensation, holding there was no proof of accidental injury. The board lias also ruled in Wil liams vs. Lackawanna Jtailroad that there can be no compensation for disability due to miners' asthma be cause it is an occupational disease, while in allowing compensation in the case of Schatzle vs. Val ley Railroad, it is declared "the de fense of interstate commerce offered by defendants for the purpose of denying compensation to the depend ants of men killed* in occupation mus-t be established by substantive evidence." In Coetello vs. Penn Iron and Steel Corporation, Lancaster, State Insurance Fund, • insurance carrier, the fund is ordered to resume pay ments. The man was injured and given other work than he had done after he recovered. He claimed the new work was too severe. The de fendant is to offer him lighter work.
