a result of negotiations between dem

Compensation Claims Sub
mitted to Referee at Ma
sonic Temple Here Today

Chester w. Cummings, Workmen's
Compensation referee, is hearing to-
day in the Masonic Temple build
ing, claims for workmen's compen-
sation filed by Sara E. Schriver,
1928 Regina street, for the death of
her son; Susan B. Mumma. of Me-
chanicsburg, for the death of her
husband, and Anna Ninson, 1925
James street, Harrisburg, for disa-
bility alleged to have resulted from
an accident.
Mrs. Schriver's claim is against
the Adams Express Company. She
alleges that her son, Elmer b.
Schriver formerly employed in the
main office of the Adams Express
Company Philadelphia, was killed
June Q, 1917. by injuries received
when a delivery truck on which he
was working dropped from the Grays
Ferry Bridge. Philadelphia, to the
railroad tracks below. Mrs. Schriver
alleges that her son contributed to
her support and claims compensa-
ton of twenty per cent. of her sons
wages for 800 weeks.
Mrs. Susan b. Mumma, of Me-
chanicsburg, claims compensation
from the Central Iron and Steel
Company, alleging that her husband,
ID. n. Mumma, a watchman, died
November 29, 1917, as the result of
inhaling coal dust while working at
the Central Company's plant during
the month of August, 1917.
Anna Wilson's claim against Mrs.
Nora Winger, of the Capitol Hotel,
alleges total disa bility from April s
to October /, 1917, and partial dis
ability from the latter date. She al
leges that while she was employed at
the hotel the railing of a second floor
balcony gave way and she fell to the
ground.
Referee Cummings will also con-
slider the petition of the State Work
mems Insurance Fund for termina-
ton of compensation agreement be-
tween William VanBuskirk, . en-
ploye, and Nelson and Levin, en-
ployers. 1t is alleged that the injured
employe has sufficiently recovered
from his injuries to resume work.
He was injured July 20, 1917, at the
site of the new Penn-Harris Hotel.
Another similar petition has been
filed by the insurance carrier of
Maurice G. Sollenberger, employer,
alleging that John Bickel, a carpen-
ter, injured November 2S. 1916, has
recovered sufficiently from his in
juries to return to some light occupa-
ton.
