SEOTICE CLAUSE IS EMPHASIZED mportant Decision Is Ren dered in the Dauphin County Claim The im p° rtance \ \ yy J of prompt noUce s\\\ of injury in com lH> pensatlon cases is j illustrated in the State Compensa- B ° art ' ' n tll , e !0., Wilkcs-Barrc. The husband of he claimant while working in a tine cut himself on a mining ma hine and when another employ ere ercd the chamber to borrow it he ailed attention to the injury. The ipinion which allows compensation ays that the deceased told his wife he circumstances and "the same tatement was made by the diceased 0 his son and to his phsician- • * * 'he evidence cstaDlishes that the leceased died as the result of blood loisonjng which followed as a di ed consequence of his injury." In Puse.v vs. Pennsylvania Rail •oad, a Philadelphia case, where leceased wus struck by a rim of . headlight, it is stated that the ompany had "actual notice of the njury" and that the man died as 1 result of injury to his brain by the iccident. The opiiUon notes that vhen he returned to work he ap >eared to be dull in mind and was educed in rank and then finally dis :harged, dying four months later, 'ompensation is awarded on the ;round that death was due to the njury suffered nine months before teath. Compensation is upheld in Grae >er vs. North American Co., Phila ielphia, wherein death was duo to i blow struck in a quarrel between mployes when one asked another o stand out of the light. The claim int in this case is held to be "in he same position as though she vere claiming compensation for the leath of her husband because of an njury suffered by him in the course if his employment caused by a break n machinery."
