Compensation denied for striker shot during labor disturbances
Harrisburg authorities say the deceased worker was not killed in the course of his employment. The state compensation board upheld a Pittsburgh referee in denying Mary Vargo widow compensation for her husband killed by a deputy's rifle at Braddock during last spring's labor disturbances. In contrast, the board awarded John R. and Julia Shipe compensation for their son who died operating an automobile, ruling that reckless indifference to danger by the deceased does not bar recovery under the act.
