No compensation for salesman who was asphyxiated
After a lengthy New Haven hearing Compensation Commissioner E. T. Buckingham rules Elizabeth Reed of New Haven is not entitled to compensation for the death of her husband Herbert A. Reed. Reed, a traveling salesman for Booth & Platt of New Haven, died March 31 from illuminating gas in Mount Vernon, New York. The commissioner states employers are not insurers against ordinary hazards of living even when death occurs in the course of employment. Reed operated on a roving commission, selling to new customers and paying his own living expenses. The decision hinges on Reed being a regular agent, with the fatal incident deemed an ordinary hazard rather than a compensable work injury.
