In this case, a man identi fied with the contracting firm was engaged by' the superintendent of the glass company plant to oversee some work and was hurt. It was claimed by the company that he was hiv independent contractor t and by the claimant that he was an employe of the company for the time being. The Board has affirmed an award of compensation. In the opinion, the Board upholds the practice of mak ing a "suspensary award based on nominal liability" so that the award can be made final when the claim ant secures other work and his earn ing capacity can be tested. The Board has aflirmed an award of compensation in Sasek vs. Royal Order of Lions, in which the hus band of the claimant, steward of the clubhouse, was killed by the accidental discharge of his revolver which he had handed to a man in the room to look at. It was claimed that he was in the act of closing up the place and that by handing the revolver to a member he went out side of the scope of his employment. The Board says this is "too narrow an interpretation" and that the widow is entitled to compensation.

Want New Fee Limit—Kfforta to change the provision for the half! license fee for motor vehicles in the Dithrich bill now pending in the House of Representatives, so that the time limit shall be August 1 . instead of September 1, will be made' during the coming week. Consider- i able opposition to the late date has! been heard. Truck owners have also asked for a number of changes in| the bill, including an Increase of the j speed limit from eight to ten miles i for the heavier trucks and from i twelve to fifteen for the lighter, class. The truck people have also objected to the licenses according to weight, contending that it would be difficult to establish it, as many 1 trucks are sold on special specifica- i tions. The suggestion has been made that the license be on chassis ; weights. The number of trucks reg- | istered in the last three months is the greatest known in Pennsylvania. More Borers Found—State Zoolo- | gist J. G. Sanders, who has been \ directing the hunt for the corn j borer in Pennsylvania in conjunc tion with Federal authorities, who I are also co-operating with this State j and State College in fighting thei potato wart in the anthracite field, says that the corn pest has not been | discovered in this State in any quan-| tity to cause alarm. There have i been some scares, but the insects' found were not the corn borer, but. cousins with bad habits, which will bear watching. The State authori ties are watching the State lines and | the hunt in the agricultural counties) has been conducted separately. One borer found in Chester county is | called the cat tail, while another discovered in corn stalks in Berks is not identified, except that it is not the corn borer Uncle Sam has warned about. In the course of the hunt, a clover weevil of destructive, tendencies was found in importa- j tions into Pennsylvania. Ex-Senator Here Ex-Senator i George M.

Six-cent Fares Are Upheld in Two Cities | j The Public Service Commission has issued orders allowing the Ma honing and Shenango Railway and Light Company, operating in Lawr-1 ( nee and other counties and in Ohio, and the West Chester S'.reet Rail way Company, operating in Chester ■ ounty, to charge six-cent fares until May 1, 1920. The accompany ing opinions, written by Commis jiioner James Alcorn, dismiss com plaints filed by the city of New Castle against the former company and the city of Coatesville against the West Chester company. A few I days ago fho Commission authorized jthe Schuykill Railway, operating in Schuylkill county anthracite districts, to charge an eight-cent fare, hold ing that conditions justified it for a' certain period. The opinions in tlieSe I latest trolley eases are along the same line. In addition the com plaint of the city of Coatesville tlfat the six-cent fare violated a franchise ordinance is dismissed because the Commission holds that it does not prevent the State body from fixing a rate of fare, while the complaint as to service is dropped because the industrial conditions and eight-hour day ha\e changed the situation 1 After a discussion of the financial affairs of the company, the decision says that under present conditions six cents is not too high and is needed to meet increased expenses of operation. It is suggested that by May of next year, conditions may have become normal and the five cent fare may be restored. Much the same line is followed in the New Castle decision, except that the company is told that it is its duty to furnish good service and to "kep the cars and road bed in nro per condition." It is held that under I normal conditions five cents is suffi l!!l t ,a fare , and £ hat the should restore the old rate when conditions become normal. 1,500 Automobiles Parked at Tractor Demonstration!
