tL'ompcnsation Cases. —Frost bite
is violence to the physical structure
of the body and "the fact that the
claimant was suffering with chronic
ailments which rendered him more
susceptible to such an injury than
an ordinary person will not defeat
his right to compensation," rules
the State Compensation Board in
Green vs. Hill, Philadelphia.
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
