Supreme Court Rules Lorain Man Gets Lost Eye Compensation
The Ohio Supreme Court ordered the State Industrial Commission to pay A. B. Thompson of Lorain 2057.25 for the loss of his right eye in 1924. Thompson was injured while working for F. Bonney during the Julius S. Bergman project when a flying chip from a fellow worker’s hammer struck him. Bonney had not complied with the compensation act, and the case hinged on who was Thompson’s employer. The commission had exempted Bonney in 1927 and later refused payment from the surplus fund. The ruling compels the commission to make the payment.

Government expert J E Crawshay testified at a city hearing that a broken light bulb filament caused explosions at the Cleveland Clinic. He said x ray films stored there could generate 31506 cubic feet of deadly gas, attributing the blast to a sequence of heat, flameless decomposition, and flaming friction from the filament among the films.
