ROBERTS, APPROVAL

nounced that the organization had not

toward Roberts would be. William
Green, president of the federation, said
that certain inquiries" had been or
dered, and if at the termination of these
it was considered advisable to take a
definite position the organization would
do so publicly.
It was believed that the inquiries
included study of Roberts connection
with a case recently settled by the SUI

Pennsylvania courts, which had granted
a marine worker Judgment for injuries
under the Pennsylvania workmen' S
compensation law.
In this case Roberts was counsel for
the John Bailey Iron Works and the

workers injuries occurred while he was
repairing a completed ship lying in
navigable waters, his claim was sub
ject to the Federal admiralty laws
rather than the State compensation act.
This view was upheld by the court.
