No COMPENSATION
At TER WORK IS DONE
Claims For Compensation For Acct
dental Deaths Void HOIdssCommssion

In decision just handed down the
State Industrial Accident Commission
laid down the general rule that an en-
ployer is not responsible for an accident,
fatal or otherwise, occurring after the
hours of employment. Hence claims
for injuries before or after working
hours are void.
The decision in question was render
ed in the case of the dependent widow
and children VS.. the Kendall Lumber
Company, of Garrett county. The
claim was compensation for the death
of James Shaffer, an employee of the
lumber company, who, with compan-
ion, was killed in November. 1915. while
returning home after work hours.
Shaffer had been in the employment of
abe company as a mill workman for
about 10 years. He lived about three
miles from the mill and for about five
years before the accident which caused
his death he and several other mill
workmen living in the same vicinity
travelled back and forth to their work
each day on hand car operated on the
tracks of the company's railroad.
During a binding storm and when
about two and one-half miles from the
mill, at about Is minutes after O. clock
p. m, on the fatal day, the hand car
collided with a locomotive drawing a,log
train, and James Shaffer and his father,
who was also on the hand car, were
killed, and the other two workmen were
injured, though not seriously. The car
used at the time of the accident had
been purchased by James Shaffer and
his father through the superintendent
of the lumber company about month
before the accident. The lumber com
pany consented to this use of its rail
road tracks by these employees, but did
not require it. The evidence shows
that there were roads or ways leading
to the mill from the homes of these men
over which they could have travelled.
The commission quotes numerous
authorities to sustain its decision in
disallowing the claim.

Newspapers Cut Size.

The action of New York newspaper
publishers in decreasing the number OF
pages in order to conserve the stock of
news print, has been followed by Phlla-
delphia publishers. In New York 12l
pages a week have been taken from the
various papers, and in Philadelphia 50
pages have been deducted. The saving
in the latter city is SAID to amount to
more than 200 tons Of paper week.
Publishers in other cities have already
taken similar action, or are about to do
so.
