AWARD TO RUPTURED
WORKER

Harrisburg, Pa.-The state work
mems compensation board in an opin-
ion filed by Commissioner Leech,
rules that hernia constitutes an in
jury by accident" A coal company
resisted payment on the ground that
while the worker sustained a rupture
his injury was simply an aggravation
of condition that had previously ex-
listed, In this connection Commis-
sioner Leech said:
THE worllmen's compensation law
does not prescribe any standard of
health or physical condition to which
the workman must conform to qualify
for compensation, nor does it imply
a warranty on the employees part
that he is free from latent disease or
physical defect which may develop
into serious injury
The commissioner points out that
it has been a settled law in England
since 1903 that nothing more is re-
.quired to constitute an injury by ac-
cident than that the harm which the
workman sustains is unexpected.
