COMPENSATION DOESN'T SAT-
ISFY SMITH WHO LOST FINGER

May 4, Joseph Smith received an
injury while working at the Security
Mills which resulted in the amputa-
ton of his third finger on the left
hand. Judge King appointed an ar
bitrator, who filed papers in district
court which allowed Smith SO per
week for one year for the loss under
the Employers Liability statute.
This totaled $156, and today Smith
through his attorneys filed papers in
an effort to. cancel the arbitrator's
action on the grounds that the COM
pensation was inadequate. Smith
was awarded the minimum amount
allowed by the law. The cancellation
papers state that Smith is partially
incapacitated for doing labor.
