waiting Period

~~~~~@@G
The federal law pays for all In
juries from date of injury, provided
the injured worker is unable to work
for more than three days.
The Montana law requires that
married men who may be injured
must bee off work more than seven
days before compensation is paid,
and then must be disabled for more
than six weeks before compensation
is paid from the date of the injury.
Single men who may be injured
receive no compensation for the
first two weeks they are unable to
work unless they are disabled more
than six weeks, after which COM
pensation is paid from date of in
jury.
The proposed amendments to the
Montana Compensation Act provide
that both married and single men be
paid compensation from the date of
injury, provided, however, that they
are off work more than six days.
The federal law allows a waiting
period of three days before compen-
sation is paid for injuries received.
We are asking that the Montana law
be amended to provide compensation
provided the injured worker is off
more than sixe days. Yet the oppon-
ents of a liberalized compensation
law say that the proposed amend
ments are drastic. and will drive in
dustry from the state. The objection
is puerile, uneconomic, and not bas-
ed on sound principles of CONNER.

Gas and Water Struck

Wolf Point = Early Monday
morning the drill penetrated the
thick sandstone cap rock and re-
leased gas flow at 1865 feet in
the hole sunk in the Wolf Point
dome. A strong vein of water had
been encountered before the sand
stone was reached and water had
been rising in the hole. When the
gas sand was reached the gas lent
its force to the water and both
were soon flowing over the top.
The outlet was reduced to a small
pipe and the flow carried out to
the dump basin.
A few hours later the gas was
lighted and burned with strong,
continuous flame. The water flow
has remained steady and the gas
has increased in volume. Appar-
