GET A HEARING;
Law Changes!
Will Be Taken l*p at j
Capitol Tuesday
Following a conference yesterday in
Thilndelplita between Attorney General!
fcSchaffer and Harry A. Mackey, cluiir
lnan of the Workmen's Condensation ,
jSureatt, it was announced that a public j
Rearing on the proposed amendments to j
the compensation act would be held next I
afternoon in the Supreme j
•Courtroom in the Capitol.
Chairman Mackey and Francis H. |
Bohlen. counsel for the board, have pre
pared a tentative bill which includes a I
new schedule of rates to bo paid per- ,
sons injured during the course of their j
employment, tine of the most important j
amendments provides that compensation
shall begin seven days after the injury, j
In this connection the act reads:
"Xo compensation allowed for first j
,fseven days, but employer must furnish j
reasonable medical service from the time ■
of the accident until the thirty-first day !
after diability begins, at cost not to <
• exceed Jl5O. and the Board has the ,
power to order further medical services j
at a cost of not to exceed an additiona: |
$250."
The other changes relate to the rate I
■of compensation to be paid for non- '
fatal injuries. If the new compensation '
measure becomes a law, it will raise ;
the Pennsylvania scale of benefits to ap- j
proximately the same level'as Massa
.chusetts. Ohio, Wisconsin and Califor-!
jiia. Only New York has a higher scale :
•of benefits than that proposed.
Attorney General Schaffer and Chair- i
man Mackey declared that all persons
' interested in compensation for disabili- j
ties are invited to attend the public]
hearing. During the conference yester
day several changes were made to the |
optative bill, but these related, it was;
announced, to questions of legal proced- i
lire.
