COMPENSATION
RULINGS MADE
Widow Can Not Claim Pay
ments if She Did Not Enforce
Court Support Orders
Where a widow was not residing
with her husband at the time of his i
death and not receiving support
from him, even though an order of
court had been made for the hus
band to contribute to famllv sup
port, she is not entitled to compen
sation for his death according to a
ruling made by the State Compen
sation Board In Wilde vs. Pennsyl
vania Railroad, a Philadelphia ease.
In this case the testimony shows
that the wife left the liusUind,
"probably for good cause," and that
although a municipal court order
was made for him to contribute to
support, he did so only for a time
and then disappeared, the efforts of
the wife to locate him and enforce
collection not being successful. The
testimony shows that she supported
herself thereafter.
In Kadian vs. American Brake
Shoe and Foundry Co., Erie, the
final receipt is set aside because it
is shown that the candidato of tlio
claimant's eye has not improved,
while compensation is awarded in
Ruckley vs. Lackawanna Railroad,
Scranton, wherein a difference be
tween a death certificate and an in
surance report as to death cause
was the subject of considerable liti
gation. The Board set aside a peti
tion to review agreement in Molnar
vs. Lehigh Valley Coal Co., Wiikes-
Rarre, saying "The accident has left
the claimant's loft foot in ,mch con
dition that it hinders the use of his
leg. accordingly the foot should r>e
amputated. This operation would
restore the use of the leg. There is
no suggestion that the defendant
has not fulfilled its obligations an
far as furnishing medical service is
concerned."
New hearings have been granted
