Covering 1,1 tion showed, that in the litigation, the ment was $. 5 cases, the investig: ording to the burea 99 cases not involving setth compared with an average estimated settlement of $821.07 under the pro- visions of the compensation act. Under the provisions of the act, the usual legal fee was found to be 50 per cent, in spite of the fact that the | maritime law has long provided that | seamen who are sick or injured while employed shall be entitled to treat- | ‘ment and wages until the end of the voyage. An injured seaman is near- ly always obliged to sue the company thru a lawyer. Silas B. Axtell, who is the attorney | for the International Seamen’s Union | ‘and the right-hand man of Andrew Furuseth, president of the union, won notoriety recently when he was tried as an ambulance chaser. © Axtell doesn't have to empley chasers, how- ever, as the International Seamen’s Union apparently is made to do the chasing for him. Nearly all injured seamen’s cases handled by Axtell. are never tried in court. The victim is compelled to wait, sometimes for years, and then Axtell gives him a paltry sum which he calls a settle- ment. Or he gives nothing at all, One is compelled to question the g of workers at the Ge Amer- an Home where the lessons of the Allen-A. Co. strike were to be dis-| cussed.
