contract. Then the matter was
taken up with the casualty company
by the department, the casualty
company, as in all these cases again
put up the specious plea of contrib
utory negligence, but finally agreed
that they make settlement on the
basis of $250. Later on they agreea
to raise $300. which the department
has not as yet accepted, and will not
accept, feeling it best to go into
court in this particular case, rather
this particular case, rather than to
than to accept such a rediculous
ofter.

ington, The patrolman was very
seriously injured, and the hospital
end surgical hills alone amounted to
$919.00. IIis industrial insurance
award amounted to $132.30, making
a total of $351..30. The casualty
company carrying the policy on the
automobile immediately put up the
old specious plea of contributory
negligence, but finally agreed that
they would pay $150. 00 toward the
medical attention, and no more. If
the department would not accept
that it could take the matter into
court, and rather than go to the ex
pense of litigatin which probably
would have cost more than the dif
ference in the amount the depart
ment finally accept the $150.00 in
behalf of the Accident Fund.
Tf the Cleary Bill were passed and
became a law this is the sort of
settlement that the workmen of the
State of Washington would be con
tinually facing instead of receiving
’.he compensation to which they are
entitled to receive under the state
plan. It would be a constant fight
to secure even the small percentage
to which they would be entitled
under the law.
