Held on February 7th 1916
Philadelphia. Walter Hamilton, 27, labourer.
This man is engaged lowering the trucks underneath the screens, and on December 3rd he went on to the belts to hand his pay-note to a man named J. Stockdale, when his coat was caught in one of the cranks of the belt engine, and he was taken round three times and received a broken leg and severe injuries to his back and head. The claim is resisted, the manager alleging that Hamilton had no business to be where he was when injured.
The whole claim rests with whether Hamilton was handing his own note over, or some one elses, and it was adjourned for inquiries to be made.
