NEW RULINGS IN
COMPENSATION
Two Made by the Board in
Cases Arising in Western
End of the State
eIn</ER~HZ1pNRL-

The State Compensation Board has
against Pittsburgh hotel company
in which it is held that while the en-
ployer cannot be held to be liable for
compensation for an operation which
became necessary after the four
teenth day from the injury, it is sug-
gested that the insurance carrier
make a contribution to help the
claimant pay the bills.
In the claim it developed that the
operation was found necessary twen-
ty days after the injury, and the
opinion by Commissioner Scott says:
1T seems to us that it is hardship
on the claimant to pay the hospital
bills out of the meager compensa-
ton received, and suggest 1t would
be a commendable act on the part
of the insurance carrier of the de-
fendant to make some contribution
to the claimant to help her on this
expense since the operation has
doubtless aided in terminating the
disability, which, if it had continued,
would have added to the legal liza
bility. The petition for review of
the agreement is dismissed with the
suggestion that if the disability re-
ours as a result of the injury, the
claimant may protect rights by filing
a petition for reinstatemen
The Board has also affirmed the
finding of the referee in the claim Of
the widow of a policeman of the
Borough of Houston, who died as
the result of kick received while
on duty. 1t is held that he had
contract with the borough and as an
employe came under the compensa-
ton act.
