NEW RULE FRAMED
IN COMPENSATION
Costs to Be Controlled Just
Like the Business of the
States Courts

The Pennsylvania State Workmen's
Compensation Board, which has been
revising certain of it's rules of prac-
tice following establishment of pro-
cedure, has ruled that costs are not
to be included in an award, detailed
statement of costs certified by am
davit is filed and copy served upon
the adverse party. Right of filing ex-
ceptions to such bills of costs is
granted.
In addition to fixing this rule, which
will govern hereafter in the cases aris-
ing, the Board has held that either
referee or tn board may place the
costs upon the unsuccessful party un-
less special circumstances justify other
disposition. 1t is also provided that
costs may be divided
These rulings follow half a years
experience in practice by the Board
and will determine numerous ques-
tions which have arisen lately.
Where claimant fails to appear
at a hearing set by referee of which
he or his counsel of record has re-
ceived timely notice and does not file
with the referee before or at the hear
ing legal excuse for his nonappear-
ance, the referee shall dismiss the
petition without prejudice to the right
OF the claimant to file a second petit
IiOn az any tlIne Wltnln the period or
limitation fixed by Section ais.
If second petition is filed, it will
not be assigned to any referee until
the claimant has satisfied the Board
that he has paid the costs incurred in
the first proceedings as taxed by the
referee. If defendant shall fail to ap-
pear at hearing set by a referee, of
which such defendant or his Insurance
carrier or counsel of record has had
timely notice, the referee shall pro-
ceed with the hearing.

HIGH SPEED CAUSE
OF MANY MISHAPS
Number of Accidents Reported
to Start Authorities Show
Remarkable Jump

High speed in production and the
employment of unsKilled men in the
demand for workers are blamed for
considerable part in the increased
number of fatal accidents reported by
the State Department of Labor and
Industry for the first six months of
this year. 1t is also believed that un-
der the present system of reporting
casualties for the Workmen's Compen-
sation Board that more accidents are
being heard of.
In the first six months of this year
1885 persons were killed in Keystone
State industries against total of but
1903 for the whole of 1915, while the
aggregate number of accidents, fatal,
serious and slight, for the six months
is given as 1915 against $3.50 for
the whole of last year. The monthly
average of injuries was 20,197 and of
fatalities 1S9.
Figures show that March had the
highest number of accidents, 26,971
of which 239 were fatal, February be-
ing next with 222 fatalities of "a, AIS
accidents. June showed 1899 acci-
dents, 1872 being fatal.
Commissioner of Labor and In
dustry, through its subdivision, is
menting upon the accidents called for
formation of safety committees and
education of men to take care of
themselves as well as in principles of
safety first.
DR.. Jackson said:
Two factors can reduce the acci-
dent toll fifty to seevnty-flve per cent.
adequate safeguards. Every employe
should exercise the greatest care.
Every dangerous machine should be
properly safeguarded and every safe
guard, installed on a machine, should
always be kept in place.
"The Department of Labor and In
dustry, through its divisions, is
the enormous waste of life and health
through industrial mishaps. The
Bureau of Inspection has it's corps of
inspectors in all sections of Pennsyl-
vania insisting that all machinery be
made safe. Members of the Industrial
Board are working, throughout the
State, promoting the safety idea
among employees and employers.
"One member of the board is work
ing exclusively among labor unions,
urging the organization of safety COM
mittees and another member is point
ing out, to employers, the economic
and humanitarian Dement'S Of safety
committees in every shop.
IAN Industrial Accident Prevention
Conference, attended by the heads of
big corporations, representing $5,0O0,-
100000 of capital, and labor leaders
of more than a million workmen, was
held in Harrisburg in March. At that
conference, safety problems were
thoroughly expounded.
The Department of Labor and In
dustry is disseminating safety bulle-
tins and similar publications in the
aim to reduce this accident toll which
is q tremendous waste of the vital
resources of this industrial Comm on
wealth. The Monthly Bulletin, and
similar publications, may be obtained
by application to the Department at
Harrisburg"
The record of the accidents reported
from January l to July 1, 1916, as
compiled by the Department of Labor
and Industry is as follows:
