Industrial Accidents

A decision has been rendered by
Arthur L. Robinson of Portland, the
associate legal member of the Maine
Industrial Accident Commission IN
the case of Jules Couture versus the
Pepperell Manufacturing Co, of Bid
deford and the American Mutual Liza
bility Insurance Co., insurers, deny
ing compensation on the, ground that
the accident did not arise out of en-
ployment.
Couture, boy of II years, was en-
ployed in the Pepperells mill as a
loom cleaner.
The decision covering the point at
issue says:
No compensation can be awarded
for an injury of this sort. This
horseplay or squabbling had no pos
sible relation to the employment. The
rule of law in such cases has been
outlined recently in two cases. In
juries caused by sportive acts done
independently of and disconnected
from the performance of any duty of
the employment do not arise out OF
the employment"

Public Utilities

A petition was filed Thursday at
the office of the Public Utilities Com
mission by the Cumberland County
Power and Light Co. asking permis-
sion to increase its passenger rates
which would provide for a 9-cent
ticket fare and a 10-cent cash fare.
On March /. last, the company filed
schedule with the Public Utilities
Commission asking permission to
charge eight cents as a ticket fare
and 10 cents as a cash fare, but the
hearing on this petition was suspend
ed pending the report of the arbitra-
tors in the matter of the wages of the
conductors and motormen.s The petit
ton states that the increased fares
will be necessary on account of the
increase in the wages of the COM
pany's employees.
The petition states that the rail-
road has shown deficits in earnings
as follows: For the year 1917, $751;
670.41: for the year 1918. $110,255.24:
for the year 1919, sSO,344.S2; and for
the first five months of the year 1920,
s147,694.57. making a total deficit in
earnings for the last three years and
five months of s369,96504: that a
seven-cent ticket fare and a nine
cent cash fare has been in operation
since Jan. l, 1919, and have produced
a substantial increase gross passen-
ger earnings; that the increase and
operating expenses and taxes has
been more than. sufficient to take up
all of the increased revenue resulting
from the higher fares: that even I'M
der favorable conditions the railroad
cannot with it's existing rates Of fare
meet it's operating expenses includ-
ing rentals for the balance of the
year 1920; and thateby reason of new
wage scales fixed by boards of arbi-
tration the cost of railroad wages
from May l of this year will be in
creased approximately 20 per cent,
making the total wage expense for
the railroad operation over 800, 900
greater than it was during the year
1919.
