For the first time in the history of
the workmen's compensation act, the
Wisconsin industrial commission has
awarded compensation for tuberculo-
sis contracted in the course of en-
ployment, but not accidentally sus-
tanned. An operator of wet grinder,
whose family history showed no trace
of tuberculosis, contracted the disease.
The commission found that wet grind
ing was an occupation which, by rea-
son of the inhalation of dust and fine
particles, frequently caused operators
to contract tuberculosis. 1t therefore
held that this particular employe had
become afflicted with the disease by
reason of his employment.

tuberculin cattle, undertaken by the
Wisconsin department of agriculture, |

July 1, when an additional $350,000 is
available, the department will be I'm
able to meet indemnity payments on
reacting cattle that are slaughtered as
a means of Kidding herds of the dis
eased animals. All veterinarians and
agricultural officials of the state have
been advised of the situation. Under
the indemnity law, 1866 cattle were
as tuberculin reactors
among the 100000 tested. The own /
ers of the cattle bore half of their
loss, the federal government a por-
ton and the state the remainder,
amounting to $350,000.
