cent industrial depression 5000
technical books were borrowed from
the library by men who were en-
gagged in industrial pursuits or those
out Of employment but who had
worked in such pursuits. one note
worthy case, he added was. where
one worker who had studied such
books was not only retained during
the depression but his wages had
been increased.
The speaker told OF the many ways
the library serves the public but the
average business man. he said. did
not avail himself OF the advantages
of the library. The reference de-
partment, the speaker said. answer
ed 90 per. cent OF all questions
asked there
The singing at today's luncheon

ing the largest attended luncheon

1SBLIND EYE,
EYE within LAW?

The case Of John II. Tobin. before
the Industrial Accident Board for
compensation for the loss Of an eye
was heard this morning and then
continued for two weeks to allow
the Introduction OF further evidence.
While working az the Harlan plant
Tobin sustained an injury TO an al
legged sightless eye. For FIVE weeks,
while he was suffering from the re-
suits of the accident, the Bethlehem
Corporation paid his compensation.
Shortly afterward the eye became in
fected. necessitating its removal.
Now Tobin is claiming compensation
for the loss OF an eye under the
State Compensation law. Whether
an eye that is sightless is an eye. and
whether an .employe is Liable for the
removal Of an eve that is sightiess
before an accident, is the question
the board is called upon 20 decide.
At the afternoon session the first
case called was that OF the Worth
Steel Company, which asks review OF
an agreement entered into by the
company with Pietro Conegtio. in
jured while working at the plant, on
May 26, 1920. The comuany desires
the board TO ascertain the exten. Of
the injuries and how they affect his
working capacity at this time. Deci-
sion in the case was reserved.
The next case to be taken up this
afternoon will be that OF Andrew
Battaglia, who has been receiving
compensation from the Worth Steel
Company for a temporary total dis
ability because OF the amputation
Of his right thumb and a portion of
his third finger on December 2,
1920. He asks the board to change
his payments to permanent partial
disability.
