SMALL ROBBERY REPORTED
WITHIN STATE HOUSE WALLS
(From a Btaff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, June (Special.) Much
mystery surrounds a robbery which oc
curred at the state house last night, and
.while tha amount stolen Is very small,
the circumstances surrounding the rob
bery are causing considerable comment
When tha young woman who conducts
the cigar atand and candy counter in
the lobby of th state house came to the
building this morning she noticed some
one had unacrewed tha two brass strips
serosa the corners of the top of the case
io keep the top glass In and had re
moved tha gesa, After removing soma
' randy tha robber replaced the glass,
screwed down the plates again and de
ramped. The night watchman, who is supposed
to be on duty and make the rounds of
the building looking for trouble, knew
nothing about any burglars thla morn
ing and tha state board la congratulat-
. tng Itself that tha stats house was not
carried off.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. June 83. (Ppecial.) - The
Dempster Mill company of Beatrl.-s has
asked Labor Commissioner Frank Coffey
to make a ruling as to who hss the tight
to employ a doctor In case of Injuiv, the
errployer or the employe. The question
Is asked: ,
If we offer to send a man in a first
class hospital and rive a first-class doc
tor and he refuses to accept this doctor
and this hospital and destdes to hire a
doctor and hospital other than the one
wc wish him to have, are we responsible
for his hospital and doctor bills, trad Is
he entitled to compensation while he Is
off?
Fectinn 3661 of the statutes provides that
the employer shall be liable for reason
able medical and hospital services and
medicines as when needed, not, ho-vever.
to exceed $iX In value, during the first
twenty-one days after the Injury. This
same section contalna a modifying clause
which provides that If the employe "re
fures or neglects" to avail himself of
such medical or hospital services the em
ployer Shalt not be liable for any aggra
vation of such Injury due to said refusal
or neglect
Rlaht of Employer.
Section 3675 provides that the employer
may request or demand that Ihe Injured
employe submit to an examination during
the term of his Incapacitation, and the
employer may have a doctor of his own
selection make tha examination, tho em
ployer to pay the expense. Tha injured
employe may have present at the ex
amination a doctor of his own selection
and at his own expense. If the employe
refuses to grant such an examination
the Injured employe shall be denied com
pensation during such refusal.
The modifying clause In Section 3681
and the provisions of Section 9675, says
the labor commissioner, seem clearly to
anticipate that the doctor In the first
nstancs will not be tha selection of the
employer In every case, else there would
be no need of these provisions.
Theory of the Laws.
The theory upon which compensation
laws are enacted Is that when the con
tract of employment Is entered Into that
there shall also be an agreement aa to
how muoh money and hospital and med
ical services the Injured employe shall
be entitled In case of personal Injury,
or. If an Injury resulting in death, how
much money the dependents of the in
jured employe shall receive.
It seems clearly to have been the In
tent of the legislature, and a fair In
terpretation of the law, that the Injured
employe shall receive medical and hos
pital services and medicines during the
first twenty-one days after the Injury,
not to exceed $200 in amount for which
the employer must pay. Of course, these
services should be reasonable and proper.
and If tha employer or the Injured em
ploye Is dissatisfied with the selection in
the first Instance either may request or
demand an examination by a doctor of
their own selection.
latent of Legislator.
As we Interpret the intent of the
legislature aa written Into the compen
sation law, the right of selection of the
medical and hospital services and medi
cines in tha first Instance does not rest
solely with tha employer.
If the employe suffer an injury for
which there is no specific number of
weeks for which he shall be compensated
aet forth in the law, then he would re
ceive compensation during the period of
his Incapacitation as certified by tha
attending physician, unlesa it should ap
pear upon an examination of a physi
cian selected by the employer that tha
attending physician was in error.
