Disabilities Classified

The Compensation Act in the
District Of Columbia, just as the
compensation acts Of the other
States, has very carefully pro-
vided q schedule Of compensation
for disability. It recognizes GER
tain classes Of permanent partial
disability. Section 8 Co reads as
follows:
Permanent partial disability:
'Tn case Of disability partial
In character, but permanent in
quality, the compensation shall
be Sc % per centum of the av-
erage weekly wages and shall
be paid to the emplOye as fol-
lows:
"(3) Hand loss, 244 weeks
compensation.
az First finger loss, 46 weeks
compensation.
"(19) Partial loss or partial
loss Of use: Compensation for
permanent partial loss Of use
Of the member"
The evidence in this case would
Justify only a finding by the
commissioner that the claimant
should be rated for the loss Of
his finger rather than for the
loss Of the use Of his hand; in
other words. q loss between 20
and 50 per cent for the first fin
ger rather than for . is per cent

loss for the use of bis hand un-
der this section of the act. The
courts throughout the country
have religiously held that when
the Legislatures Of the States in
their wisdom have seen fit to
make q schedule Of compenSa-
ton for the loss Of the use Of the
fingers it is error for the COM
missioner to make an award
based upon the loss of the hand
unless the evidence fully JUST
fieS the finding that there Is a
loss of the use of the hand. In
this case again the evidence JUS
titles only one conclusion, that
even though the injury was Sef-
fered to the hand, it is the loss
of the use Of the finger which
the claimant complains of and
which the evidence juStifies find
ing upon. A reference to some
of the authorities indicates how
far the courts go to insist that
the award be based in the man
ner provided for by the statute
itself.
The first case of Importance on
the subject is the case Of Gram
mici VS.. Zimm 219 N. Y. 322.
'Under conditions making
compensation law applicable to
the injuries, the claimant lost
the first, second and third fin
gers and the first phalange Of
the fourth finger Of his right
hand. The evidence Of the ap-
peIIants tended to prove that
neither the hand nor the use Of
it was lost. The evidence came
from two physicians and three
laymen. There was no contra
dictiOn Of it unless the state
ment Of . physician that the
hand is useless in his vocation
and that Of another physician:
from vocation point Of view, /
consider this defOrmity equiva-
lent to the loss Of the use Of q
hand constitute contradiction.
In those statements, there was
no contradiction.

Girls Case Cited

In the case of Barringer" v.
Clark ct al, 172 N. Y. Sup, Page
1913, it appears that the claimant,
young girl, had her hand injured
in q laundry mangle with the re-
suit she lost, by amputation, the
index, middle and ring fingers Of
her left hand back Of the head Of
the metacarpal bones, while the
little finger was amputated at the
second joint. The end of the
thumb was injured in its fleShy
part and appears to be somewhat
sensitive owing to the necessary
treatment.
At the time of the injury the
claimant was in the course of her
high school training. being injured
during vacation time while en-
ployed, and is now studying
telegraphy with an expectancy of
earning $72 to 500 per month.
There is no evidence that she will
not be prepared to do the immedi-
ate work involved in biography,
although it does appear that she
will not be able to use the type
writer in connection with that
work, which will, in q measure,
limit her efficiency. The Indus
trial Commission awarded COM
penSation as for the total loss of
the use Of the hand and identi-
cally the same question raised in
Grammici v. Zimm, supra, was
raised in this case.
There it was held that the basis
Of the award was the loss of the
fingers, and not for the total loss
Of the use Of the hand. The
court held that the rule in that
case was not modified by the de.

Struction on this wooded hilland-
dale property and before they are
completed seven others will be
started.
Fit the Background
The Miller firm plans its houses
carefully, following the natural
background of the surrounding
property. They preserve trees and
their streets curve through the
wooded sections Of the property
rather than follow the straight
line effect Of some other proper
ties. The entire plan must be
good, because they sell their
houses and most Of them stay
sold.
It will be remembered that sew
eral years ago Mr.. Allison N.
Miller, the Woodworking member

was severely injured. It was prob
ably the first time in many years
he had seen q real active horse

Hand Impaired

AT the Trial the doctors teStI
fled that the injury was con-
fined to the second finger Of the
right hand, but further testified
that the injured finger had be
come stiff, affecting his ability tc
grip with his right hand and
thereby causing q permanent par
tial loss Of the use Of the hand
The commissioner allowed com
pensation based upon a perman
ent partial loss Of the use of the
hand.
The following is quoted from
the opinion Of the court on ap
peal:
ut is the classification of ap-
pellee's disability by reason Of
his injury and the amount Of
the compensation to which he
is entitled, concerning which
the parties are in disagree
ment, appellee urging that he is
entitled to compensation for
permanent partial loss of the
use Of his right hand, while
appellant contends that in no
event is appellee entitled to
compensation for more than
permanent partial loss of the
use of the second finger of his
right hand. APpellee'S daily
wage was $3.5O.
"One Of the outstanding pur-
poses Of the WOrkmen's Com
penSatiOn law is to establish .
Uniform system for measuring
compensation for specific acct
dental injuries that any en-
plOye, coming within its pro-
visions, may encounter in the
course Of and growing out Of
his employment, and to sim
plify the procedure In such
cases. Keeping in step with
this laudable purpose, the legis-
lature Of the State Of Nebraska
has, by enactment, taken the
amount Of recovery, in such
cases, out Of the realm Of specu-
latiOn by fixing the amount Of
compensation that shall be paid
by the employer to his emplOye
who meets with o specific In
jury; and to promote . speedy
and inexpensive recovery, it has
done away with the technical
rules of pleadings and fastened
the time for hearings and for
the determinations upon such
hearings.
cit is essential In interpreting
this law, that simple words be
simply construed and that def
mite terms be mot opened up to
any definite construction; and
while compensation statutes are
to be literally construed in favor
Of the employed, the courts are
not at liberty to extend their Sp-
pTicatiOn beyond the limits fixed
by their terms, nor to amend
them by judicial construction"
After the motion was argued
and submitted to the court, Mr.
Justice Jennings Bailey filed the
following opinion:
II find in the record no sub
Stantial evidence in support Of
the finding by the deputy COM
missioner that the claimant was
entitled to compensation fer per-
manent partial disability Of the
hand. While the injury was pri-
mary to the hand, the effect Of
the injury was to disable the fin
ger, and mot the hand, except in
S0far as any disability Of the fin
ger results in some disability Of
the hand. The statute, however,
distinguishes between the two,
and fixes separate compensation
for disability Of the finger and
Of the hand.
''The motion to dismiss the
bill will be Overruled."
The plaintiff was represented by
Henry I. Quinn and Austin Can
field, while the commissioner was
represented by Assistant District
ATTORNEY H. L. Underwood.
