for an injury TO his spine. sustained
October /. 1919. Around the case is
assembled many perplexing details One
Of the chief questions involved is the
present condition of the man-whether
il is due TO the fall he sustained when
he fell from a scaffold along boat. or
TO his physical condition since that
time.
II is said that although the accident
happened two years ago. he did not
apply for compensation until last fall
when he spoke about it to Charles H.
Grantland, secretary Of the Industrial
Accident Board. He did not make for
mai application for compensation until
this year One Of the questions in
volved is whether his application 10
the secretary Of the board can be con
sidered official. a further question is
whether the man is legally entitled TO
compensation, because all applications
for compensation, must be made within
a year after the accident has happened.
Another case heard was that Of VIII
liam Burns of Marcus Hook, Pa. re-
garding compensation from the Pitts
burg iron works for injuries sustained
to his foot on January IA. 1920, when
several bones Of that member were
broken. It seems that that corporation
has been paying Burns compensation,
but that now, because he is able to
get about, il feels that he should re-
ceive but partial compensation. The
