EXPLAIN DELAY
IN PAYMENTS
PERSONS ENTITLED TO BENEFITS
UNDER COMPENSATION ACT
FAIL TO FILE REPORTS.
PROCEDURE is EXPLAINED
though Fourteen Hundred Claims
Have Been Filed, But Few Have
Been Passed Upon.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Charleston, w. Va.-Declaring that
the delay occasioned in the pay
ment of a large majority of
claims of persons coming under the
benefits of the workmen's compensa-
ton law was due to the failure of the
public service commission to receive
all the reports necessary before claims
can hnally be passed on. Chairman
Lee OFT gave out a statement to the
press setting forth clearly just what
reports We're required in the adjudica-
ton of all claims
Although the wor!-men's compensa-
ton law has been in effect only since
October LIST, more than fourteen hum
dred claims for injuries. fatal and non
iatal, have ben filed, but comparative
~ few of these claims have been final
~ passed upon by the commission and
this has been due TO the seeming mis-
understanding.
To enable the injured person to ia
cllitate the payment of his claim.
chairman OFT announced that i'm the
future only one report will be REQUIRED
or The employe and that report has
Deen designated as NO. s." Hereto
fore ii has been the custom for the in
jured employee to make a preliminary
report, No. 5, which has contained
only brief summary of facts con-
corning the accident and his report
was 10 be followed later by the No.
Report giving complete details upon
which commission would be able to
consider the claim.
The large percentage of Injured en-
ployes sent in only the No. report.
taking it that this was all that was
necessary and it being entirely new.
the workmen's compensation bureau
has had great deal of difficulty in
having all those persons to understand
that the final report should be made
before the claim could be paid.
For this reason the commission
alter much consideration prepared .
new blank report to be designated as
NO g. and which will be the only
report required from the injured Der-
sons in the future.
The other two reports made in all
non-fatal accidents are the report of
the physician and the report of the en-
p!oyer, designated as mo. - and "No
b. respectively.

COXEY STILL PERSEVERES.
Hasn't Given Up Hope of Being
Heard on Currency.

Gen" Jacob S.-Coxey of Massillon,
Ohio, commander-in-chief of the army
of unemployed which marched to Wash
ington in May, 1894, is again making an
effort to have an opportunity to appear
before the banking and currency COM
mittee of the Senate to explain his
views on what he believes is the best
currency system for the United States.
Ten days ago the general asked to
be heard by the committee. but was re-
fused on the ground that the committee
desired to conclude all hearings as soon
as possible. He was asked to submit
his views in writing. He said he did not
care to do this, as he wanted the MEM
bers of the committee to have an oppor-
tunity to ask him questions. Gen"
Coxey returned to Washington again
Monday to make a second attempt to
appear before the committee. Briefly
stated. Coxey believes the government
should operate all the banks in the coun-
try.
Gen" Coxey dropped in at the White
House yesterday. desiring to talk cur
rency with the President. No appoint
ment had been made, the President
having heretofore declined to take the
currency question up with a large
number of persons anxious to see him on
the .abjeet Wis policy has been to send
for si.ose. whose epinicHs he wanted.
