Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 January 1917 — Satisfactory Settlement Under Workman’s Compensation Law. [ARTICLE]

Satisfactory Settlement Under Workman’s Compensation Law.

P. B. Collins, of Indianapolis, state agent for the Fidelity Casualty Insurance Company of New York, was here Monday. With his local representative, Ray D. Thompson, a settlemen was made with John G» Hayes, who was so severely hurt while painting at the residence of Mrs. Jared Martindale. In the settlement- Mr. Hayes received $117.00 ahd his nurse hire and doctor bills were paid. There has been considerable comment in reference to settlement made here under the workmn’s compensation law and Mr. Thompson was anxious to have a representative of the company to come here and straighten out the matters. This has been done and in the future claims will undoubtedly be settled in a manner more satisfactory to policy holders. M. V, Brown, the contractor for whom Mr. Hayes was working at the time of his accident, was at an expense of $lO on account of this insurance. Undoubtedly the law is a good one both for the contractor and his employe.
