Compensation Department
Report of Proceedings
of
Arbitration Committee Meeting
held in the
The Coal Trade Offices, Newcastle-on-Tyne
On 10th March 1924
Silksworth. Thomas Brown, stoneman.
On 27th December, 1921, Brown ruptured the muscle of his arm whilst lifting a large stone into a tub. He started light work sweeping up on the engine-plane on 25th January, 1923, and worked until 16th May, 1923, when he fell off, having on that date aggravated the injury whilst filling a tub of stone and dust.
He was paid the light work rate and the case was referred to the Official Medical Referee (Dr. Gordon Bell) who reported on 14th July, 1923 :—
1. "The said Thomas Brown is suffering from ruptured muscles in the right fore-arm, and his condition is such that he is totally incapacitated for work as a datal stoneman but is fit for work offered, viz., shift work.
2. The incapacity of the said Thomas Brown is entirely due to the accident of 27th December, 1921.
NOTE — I am satisfied that this man had an aggravation of his incapacity on the 16th May which caused him to cease work altogether, but it was of such a degree that it was bound to pass off in four weeks at the outside."
Brown was paid full compensation for four weeks and asked for full compensation from 16th May to 30th July, 1923.
Claim allowed.
