Report of Proceedings
of
Arbitration Committee Meeting
held in the
The Coal Trade Offices, Newcastle-on-Tyne
On Monday, January 9th 1922
4169. Tudhoe. William Tate, 65, hewer.
Had his shoulder injured on 18th August, 1903. After being off for some time he started light work as a shifter. He continued as a shifter until 24th September, 1921, when the colliery closed. A claim for full compensation was made, and this was resisted on the grounds that Tate's incapacity was due to old age and not injury.
Dr. Ritson reported on 5th December, 1921, as follows :—
"I examined the above on the 1st instant. I was informed that he sustained an injury to the right shoulder on the 18th August, 1903. He complains now of weakness of the right arm and shoulder.
I found that there had been a fracture of the sternal end of the right sterno clavicular joint united with thickening and causing grating of the joint on movement also that the tendon of the right biceps muscle was ruptured. These injuries would cause weakness of the right arm, and would incapacitate him from working as a coal hewer.
Also he suffers from rheumatoid arthritis of several joints, and from emphysema and bronchitis, but the heart is sound and his general condition fair for a man of his years."
Adjourned. Tate to be examined by Dr. Parkin and his re port to be presented at the next meeting of the Committee.
