State Compensation
Popular With Many
Who Have Recovered

Special to The Tribune.
Helena, Dec. 21.-In these times OF
industrial stress the state industrial
accident board has extreme difficulty
in prying some men loose from the
compensation list, according to Jerome
G.. Locke, chairman of the board.
This is true especially, he reports, OF
natives of southern Europe, who, hav-
ing been injured and having tasted the
wine of compensation while recover
ing, are disinclined to recover any
faster than they have to.
Mr. Locke finds that many OF these
men have benefit societies among their
nationalities, these societies paying
disability compensation as long as the
state pays it. Consequently, Mr..
Locke says, many of these men see
real advantage in remaining disabled
as long as they can.
The state industrial accident board
is doing what it can to dissuade claim
ants from such a course. Doctors
are called in to give these injured
men the "once over" and in cases
where nothing is apparently wrong
with the physical qualities of the man
he is cut from the compensation list
rather suddenly.
One case recently was where man
who claimed he was still incapacltated
through an injury ran away with an
other mans wife. The board is de-
clining to pay him any more
compensation.
