ULRICH CLAMS AN INJUSTICE THINKS CERTAIN ATTORNEYS ARE FAVORED. Airlie Man Takes the State Accident Commission to Task for Its Action When Jim Siddall Was Hurt. J. F. Ulrich, of Airlie, Polk county, was in Independence Monday and gave the Enterprise the following communi cation regarding what he alleges took place when a driver for him, Jim Sid dall, was injured while hauling ship knees for Parker Brothers in the vi cinity of Airlie some few weeks ago. Mr. Ulrich heads his article, "How the State Industrial Accident Commission Plays Into the Hands of the Salem Lawyers." "We all know the state industrial accident commission is made up of three members, and are appointed by the governor. The present member ship of said commission is Beckwith, Marshall and Allen. "As a citizen, farmet and taxpayer of the state of Oregon, I feel it my duty to publish the following: "On May 10, 1917, I was called to Dallas to attend a meeting called by a government agent. When returning from the meeting we had a serious auto accident, and I was disabled for several months. This made it neces sary for me to hire a man to complete my spring farming. When the farm ing was completed I had no further work for the man, Jim Siddall, but T. T. Parker & Son were operating a ship knee camp near here and needed both men and teams. "Parker & Son had used my team frequently and came to me again ask ing to hire the teams. Arrangements were made for them to use them, and Jim Siddall was to drive one. "After a few days' work they wan ted to put them to hauling ship knees, offering to pay 40 cents per knee. I told Mr. Parker that all I carred for was a day's wage for my team, and if they could make wages at 40 cents, all right. If not, they would have to pay by the day, to which he agreed. When ever he wished he had them do other work, as he had supervision of them. "Parker & Son conscientiously as sured the man that they were protect ed under the industrial accident law. "While engaged in this work on 'June 21, 1917, Jim Siddall met with an acci dent resulting in a broken leg, while repairing a gin pole, which Mr. Parker & Son were to maintain. Mr. Parker was not present at the time 'of the ac cident, and supposed the accident oc curred while loading knees, so wrote the commission asking which (he or I) should report the accident, as we, had talked some of hauling the knees by the piece instead of by the day. "The commission sent blanks to me, asking me to report the accident.which I did. I heard nothing more from them until July 2nd, when I received a letter from them, stating that they had information that it was contract work, and requesting me to give full details of the work, from where the knees were hauled and when delivered I answered, eivinsr them the rlesirpH information. "Shortly after this I went to Salem to discuss the matter with the com mission, but in the mean time they had been irWormed that I was a farmer. I explained to them that the accident did not occur when loading knees, but would come under time work (Mr. Parker considered it such), as Mr. Parker was to maintain the gin pole I thirjk they saw plainly that it was an Jliju'stice to me not to consider it Mr. "Parker's work, and I asked them why they did not. Their answer was that he was driving my team and doing contract work. I then asked them why I did not come under the law the same as any other man en gaged in a hazardous occupation Their reply, at that time, was that farmers did not come under the law automatic ally, but that they would take it be fore the floating board and decide.Thev failed to send me notice of their de cision; thus they kept me waiting un til the time for appeal had passed. "The next time my attention wa-, called to the case I received a letter from the law firm of Smith & Shields of Salem, on December 28th, stating that they had Jim Siddall's case for damages and that unless I would set tle within a few days they would bring sun. I consulted a prominent attornev. who investigated matters thorough1 v ana round it was too late to annpal fro mthe decision of the commission. although, according to law. thnv should have paid the compensation. Thinking that possibly I had not made the matter plain to the commission, and having learned that farmers do come under e law automatically when engaged in a hazardous occima- tion, I secured some recommendation trom reliable men who knew the cir cumstances, and I again went before ... ! anint OVCr the commission. 7 the ae. and when I requested thm 1(eh.,w m ths that farmers do not come under the act automatically whon engaged in a ha.ardou occupa lion, they replied that farmer, do co,. under the act, but the .h.p knee hauling is not u hazardous occupation Then when the law plainly states log King, lumbering, etc. A ship knee is the heaviest end of a log. and the most .....uui.iv ni.'. to handle. "I then asked them, if Mr. Siddall had broken his leg while doing such work as moving camp or l"WnK knees in the woods by the day, under the direct supervision of Parker & Son if they would still have considered him my man. Mr. Beckwith. chairman, an swered, yes, they would. "That very afternoon, I heard the commission decide that a workman for a prominent Portland firm should re ceive compensation during an attack of appendicitis, which came upon him, during working hours, but not due to any accident, as they were plainly In formed. "Do you wonder I felt that I had not been fairly treated ? "As a last resort, I asked the favor of their asking the opinion of some of the state officials. Of course, they would not do that, as they knew very well they were in the wrong. "First, you will notice that in the beginning they said a farmer did not come under the act, and later that it was not a hazardous occupation, and that they asked me to report and give full details, knowing that I was a far mer and knowing what manner of work was being done. "Second, that they deliberately failed to notify me of their decision thus preventing an appeal. "Third, that they refused to waive the time for appeal. "Fourth, that they refused to consid er the opinion of other officials. "My lawyer informed me that the case could not be tried short of $2"0 or $300, besides my expenses and time I would lbse, and we know how hard it is to get farm help, as I could settle for $300. I did so, not feeling that it was justice, however. "As a result I paid $300 compensa tion the commission should have al lowed, and Mr. Siddall got what the lawyers saw fit to give him, when he should have received all of the com pensation. J. F.
