HNRED WORKMEN
REQUEST GREATER
COMPEHSATION
The tnafiequacy of the present rates
of coinpe.ifeation to Injured workmen
and iheir dependants Is reflected In the
appeals iccelved almost daily by the
Htate industrial, accident commission,
l athers uuable to go about their daily
tasks lcause of Injuries received In
accidents, mothers of families whose
breadwiur.tr has been taken by death
through accident are dally appealing
to the commission for larger compen
sations in on effort to keep peace with
the ever mounting costs of living.
In Saturday 's mail the commission
received such an appeal from the wife
of a wotUman who was Injured la3t
M iy And lis still disabled, and also a
letter fiom an employer pointing out
that one of his Injured men Is threaten
ing i ii.siitute suit for damages be
O.'iuite the compensation he Is receiving
froinUe commission is not adequate
to take tare of his needs.
Man lias Family.
The Injured workman In question
lists a wife and two children. Underf
h he present provisions of the law, he
lu entiled to compensation at the ralo
of $70 50 per month for the first six
months, and $47 per month thereafter,
as long as he Is laid up.
He was able to keep the wolf from
?'ie door as long as he received the
I75.5U, but when, at the end of the six
month period, the compensation drop-
jped to $47 his wife sent her appeal to
the commission.
"I am aorry to make this appeal,"
she says, "but owing to my husband's
inability to work-and the fact that I am
unable to do anything myself to help
support he family, I earnestly ask you
to still allow us the sum of $70.50. per
month during the winter months.
"Mr. Kirk saw my husband while
here in Baker, and knows his awful
conditlru. He is, and always will be a
cripple. I have asked no help from
anyone so far, but I am imploring you
not to cut us short how in this bitter
cold weather. Now Is when we need
money, while we are sorely pressed.
"rrurti.ig to your conscience, I await
your answer."
Employer Asks More. .
The letter from the employer refer
red to one of his workmen, who fonr
months ago suffered a severe fracture
of the ankle.
ThiL employe has a wife and one
child. . Ha is drawing $64.60 per month
compensation.
He went to his employer, asking to
supplement this payment. The employ
er says he advised him that he did not
feel Justified in setting such a prece
dent, because If he took this action in
one case it would be necessary to make
the same allowance to every disabled
employe.
Tlx employe then served notice up
on the employer that he intended to
institute a suit for $2000 damages.
