Strana 267 - When personal injury is caused to an employee who is himself in the exercise of due care and diligence at the time: 1. By reason of any defect in the condition of the ways, works, machinery, or plant, connected with or used in the business of the employer...
Strana 267 - ... (3) By reason of the negligence of any person in the service of the employer who has the charge or control of any signal, switch, locomotive engine or train upon a railroad...
Strana 270 - If the workman leaves any dependants wholly dependent upon his earnings at the time of his death, a sum equal to his earnings in the employment of the same employer during the three years next preceding the injury...
Strana 271 - ... a weekly payment during the incapacity after the second week not exceeding fifty per cent of his average weekly earnings during the previous twelve months, if he has been so long employed, but if not, then for any less period during which he has been in the employment of the same employer, such weekly payment not to exceed one pound.
Strana 325 - It would be difficult to think of another field of social or legal reform in which the United States is so far behind other nations. "The most depressing feature of the situation lies in the fact that the very principles involved in this gradual evolution — from the limited liability of employers to that of the compulsory indemnification by them of practically all injured employees — are as yet not even comprehended in the United States.
Strana 268 - The amount of compensation recoverable under this Act shall not exceed such sum as may be found to be equivalent to the estimated earnings, during the three years preceding the injury, of a person in the same grade employed during those years in the like employment and in the district in which the workman is employed at the time of the injury.
Strana 271 - ... in the case of partial incapacity the weekly payment shall in no case exceed the difference between the amount of the average weekly earnings of the workman before the accident and the average weekly amount which he is earning or is able to earn in some suitable employment or business after the accident, but shall bear such relation to the amount of that difference as under the circumstances of the case may appear proper.
Strana 264 - If the master be liable to the servant in this action, the principle of that liability will be found to carry us to an alarming extent. He who is responsible by his general duty, or by the terms of his contract for all the consequences of negligence in a matter in which he is the principal is responsible for the negligence of all his inferior agents.
Strana 271 - If within the time hereinafter in this act limited for taking proceedings an action is brought to recover damages independently of this act for injury caused by any accident, and it is determined in such action that the injury is one for which the employer is not liable in such action, but that he would have been liable to pay compensation under the provisions of this act, the action shall be dismissed; but the court in which the action is tried shall, if the plaintiff so choose, proceed to assess...
Strana 360 - Receipts for the year consisted of $212.30, dues of members; $382.14, gifts from employers and others, and $913.86, municipal subsidy. It will be seen that the members contributed but 14 per cent of the total receipts and that they received in actual benefits 6 times the amount paid in by them as dues. One would think that under such exceptionally favorable circumstances membership would increase rapidly. Such, however, has not been the case. During the second year, 1894-95, there were but 390 members,...
