THREE HEARINGS
WEDNESDAY BY

Hon. Eben F. Littlefeld, Belfast
chairman Of the Industrial Accident
commission. will hold three hearings on
Wednesday upon cases coming under
the provisions of the workmen's COM
pensation act. There will be hearing
in the morning at Old Town and one in
the afternoon at Bangor
One Of the Bangor cases is a very
important one presenting certain unique
features. Mary r. Shaw, the applicant,
a former school teacher. has brought
action under the compensation act
against the city Of Bangor. One Of the
points to be determined Is the question
arose out of and in the course of her
employment. The claimant was injured
on the steps Of a school building Of the
city of Bangor about o'clock as she
was leaving one Of the rooms of the
building in which q lecture had been
held. Another question involved is that
of arriving at her average weekly wage.
the question being whether 1t should be
obtained by reckoning her working year
as ~ months or as nine months. the
school year.
Friday Chairman Littleheld will hold
hearing at Camden on the question
Of lump sum settlement where pay
ments to the petitioner have been con-
tinued for six months previous. The
applicant asks permission to be heard
in relation to committing future pay
ments to a lump sum settlement.
On account Of so many hearings hav-
ing been held previously, the Official
stenographer. K. E. Twitchell. will be
unable to go with Chairman Littlefield
on the hearings to be held this week. so
that it will be necessary for Chairman
Littlefield to take with him on the trip
this week the chief stenokrapher of the
department Of claims and agreements.
The testimony taken at the eight
bearings last week filled 20 stenogra-
piers notebooks.
