SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27-The
State Industrial Accident Commission

good old days when damage cases
were fought out in courts. Last week
the commission nullified contract
whereby an attorney was to receive
20 per cent of an award The commits

$40, but the usual allowance averages
between SIS and $10-in fact, there
was little use for any attorney any
way, as the law was intended to dis
