Patronage critique sparks alarm over Workmen's Comp cut
The piece argues the Workmen's Compensation Bureau's firing of seven of eight Erie office staff disrupts service to 13 Northwestern Pennsylvania counties. It notes up to 60 dollars weekly for 10 to 12 weeks for injured workers and questions how claims will be processed with a thousand open claims. The writer links the move to party politics, cites Governor Milton Shapp's independence from county machines, and asks Erie Register of Wills candidate Roger Fischer for reaction.
