new POINT RAISED
in LIABILITY ACT
Is Loss Of Use of Hand Same as
Actual Loss of
Hand?

William Lorman, an employe OF the
park department, Is the first city en-
ploye TO be Injured since the new
employers, liability act went into ell
lect. and city employees generally are
interested In the outcome OF his case.
The damages 10 be awarded Lorman
viii probably raise an interesting
question OF law and the construction
OF the new liability act.
LoIman was holding stake to be
driven into the ground onl Belle Isle.
Oct. Ia. Another workman. Edward
Brandt. was striking the stake with
heavy mallet. Lorman gave the
signal TO stop and put his hand on
top OF the stake. but Brandt either
did not understand the signal or
could not stop the blow in time, for
the mallet fell with smashing force
Oh Lorman's hand. I.orman was taken
TO st. Mary's hospital.
The law says that the injured man
shall receive compensation at the
rate OF half Of his salary, dating from
two weeks after the injury was sus-
tained, or IL he Is incapacitated for
more than eight weeks. dating from
the time OF the accident Lorman
was paid $12 week.
According 10 Secretary Busch, or
the park department. Lorman will lose
tae use OF his left hand. but he will be
able TO get around again In about
two months. The law states that for
the loss OF hand the injured employe
Is TO receive half his weekly wages
for period of $50 weeks. which in
Lorman's case would be 5000. But
Lorman did not lose his hand. He
viii be out In two months and II he
is to be reimbursed only for the time
that he was incapacitated for any
kind OF work he would receive only
$4S.
The question now arises whether

Monday afternoon to decide the
wording of the question for the
debate with Broadway H. s. of

future. The question, as decid-
ed, is: Resolved, that tariff

ed, endorsing the propaganda of
the democratic party. There is
great enthusiasm among the de-
baters, a mass of promising nfa-

Among the entrees are III. Alci-
