D A HANDBOOK OF THE PENNSYLVANIA WORKMEN'S CONTAINING A DIGEST FULL TEXT OF ASSOCIATED ACTS RULINGS OF THE BOARD AND A COMPREHENSIVE INDEX 12 сж COMPILED AND PREPARED BY HARRY Z. MAXWELL OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION BOARD Baby Lett S PREFACE Originally prepared for private convenience, it was suggested that this Digest and Index of the Workmen's Compensation Act of 1915 might be of some help to many of those who have more or less to do in the administration and observance of the Act. Upon submitting the matter to the Workmen's Compensation Board, they very kindly offered to recommend the use thereof, as in some measure simplifying and rendering more easy a compliance with the law. The Digest of Act No. 338 is by sections. The index, except where otherwise expressly stipulated, is to such sections, and refers, as well, to the sections of the full text of the Act, which, together with the associated acts, immediately follows the Digest. In the Appendix will be found a reprint of Bulletin No. 2, published by the Workmen's Compensation Bureau, containing Rules and Rulings of the Board to date, as well as a list of forms and Compensation Districts. There has been added the personnel of the two Boards and Rules for ascertaining weekly wages. The undersigned desires to express his appreciation of the help and suggestions given by Professor Bohlen, Counsel for the Board, the individual members of the Board, Mr. Lee Solomon, Secretary, and many others. It is our present purpose to issue annually a digest and review of the decisions rendered by the Board and Courts, interpreting the Act. This brief compilation is herewith respectfully submitted in the hope that it may prove of some assistance in the study and use of the Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Act of 1915.
