In deciding the case of Zukowsky vs. Philadelphia and Beading Coal and Iron Company, Pottsville, wherein the Schuylkill county court ordered a new hearing, the board reaffirms its former finding and de clares that the statement of the decedent made when he complained of pain while at work cannot be taken as made for a self-serving purpose. The fact that the man did not repeat it to the doctor who treated him is referred to. The board has referred the case of Jackubich vs. Jones & Laughlin Steel Company, Pittsburgh, to a ref eree for the purpose of determining questions of fact; granted a new hearing in Critchlow vs. Steen, Conoquenessing; and dismissed a number of appeals.
