1 elding the case of
McPhilomy & :4c- j
WHIM i Philomy, trading I
as the Franklins: Conl Mining CO., j
of Brisbin, Clearfield county, to
have been unjust, unreasonable!
and discriminatory and the coin- j
pany is ordered to pay damages l
amounting to SSOO. The commis- j
sion, however, tinds that the claim |
of the company that the railroad j
by failure to deliver cars prevented |
opening of a new seam of coal is j
not well founded and that the fail- |
ure of the railroad to construct a
siding was cause for damages ag
gregating SIB,OOO.
It is found that at all times the
company was willing to construct
siding upon payment of the cost by:
the complainants and that the com
plainants did not show a like will
ingness to pay the cost or give se
curity therefor.
Concurrent Wages. The State
Compensation Board in an opinion j
by Commissioner John A. Scott, j
rules on concurrent wages in the i
case of Maria Washington vs. S. !
Bacharach & Co., Philadelphia. The I
opinion says: "The Board is of the 1
opinion that the intent of the Leg- |
islature is to he liberally construed j
so that the employe in case of dis- ;
ability caused by employment shall j
have made up to him fifty per cent
of his earning capacity at or about
the time he is injured which capaci
ty shall be measured by the amount J
of wages received by him from all j
contracts of employment running
concurrently regardless of whether
he is strictly an employe under the j
term of the act in all of his con- S
current employment^."

have more corn sowed next spring i
than for years in opinion of men !
connected with the State Depart
ment of Agriculture who have been !
studying reports of farming activ- I
ities from various counties. In j
sections land is being prepared for
corn which has been in- wheat and j
potatoes and lands which have been j
drained will also be put into corn, j

mer will he greater than hereto- I
fore owing to the prices o£ the
grain and the demands.
