Plainville News CHANDLER'S DECISION -~ FAYORS LOCAL YOUTH Oricnt Music Co Must Pay Harold Rccfl» Benefiis and His Expenses. CHIROPRACTOR NOT A PHYSICIAN Efforts of Employers to Evade Paying Bills of Doctors Selected By Reed Prove Futile—McDonald Satisfled to Be Relieved.—Brief Items. Contending that a chiropractor 1s [ not a physician within the meaning of the workingman’s compensation act, Commissjoner George B. Chana- ler yesterday afternoon gave a decl- sion in favor of Harold E. Reed of this town against the Aetna Life In- Surance company of Hartford with | which the Orient Music company of /Forestville, the claimant’s employers, carried a policy. The commissioner instructed the company to pay Reea $5 a week from May 27 until the time he was able to go to work. He'als6 ordered that the claimant be rdim= bursed for $81.43, the expenses which he incurred in connection with the case. 8C *9 State-widk interest has beeh taken in Reed’'s claim as it was the first ot kind to be brought before the missioner ' for settlement.

He fell down a flight of stairs ana sustained injuries which rendered him unconscious. After ‘“first aid" treatment was given'Dr. C. W. Kent of Forestville and Dr. C, W. Moody of | Plainville attended him. Undef, the law the employer has the right to select his own physician for examination of the injured man and the Orient people had Dr. W. A. ‘Wooding of New Britain, a chiroprac- tor, call.at the Reed house. He made two subsequent visits and a few days after. the accident pronounced Reed able to go to work. Had he fol- lowed ithis advice the young man would have been unable to get com- pensation. Dr. Moody /declared that he was not fit for labor at the time and Reed declined to return to the factory. A short time'later pneumonia de- veloped, Dr. J. C. Tanner, who was then called in, claiming that the dis- ease was caused by pressure of a rib which had been injured in the accl- dent. At' the hearing before the commissioner this claim was disputea by the insurancé company’s doctors. The insurance company disallowed Reed’s claim on the grounds that Dr. Wooding had pronounced him able to return to work a few days after the accident. Commissioner Chandler in- his find- ing ruled that a chiropractor is not a physician within the meaning of the compensation act and as the com- pany -neglected to provide a compe- tent doctor or surgeon in accordance with the law it is liable to all ex- penses incurred by Reed for medical attendance within thirty days after the accident. While admitting that Reed as an individual had a right to \employ a practitioner of any of the' numerous schools or cults, he questioned the company’s privilege of doing ' like- | wise. After describing the various exper- iments that are being made concern- ing the treatment of body ills, the | commissioner makes this comment regarding the departure from the course of treatment generally accept- ed by society: “While it is not without the limits of possibility that some person or group of persons, either by reasoning or on theoretical grounds, or by experimentation, or even accident, might discover a new and better method than that gen- erally practiced or taught, such a contingency is highly improbable, and an employer under this act who pro- { vides a practitioner of any such novel methods, contrary to the pre- valling standard of society and the preference and custom of the injured employves, fails' to conform to the provisions of Section of Part B. thereof:"” The decision has been awaited here with interest for some time. Reed had planned to appeal to the courts if the commissioner had decided against him as he had no faith what- ever in chiropractors and was averse to receiving treatment from Dr. Wooding which he described as vio- lent manipulations of the body. Under ordinary circumstances the company would not have been com- pelled to pay the bills of doctors, ex- cept those which it emploved itself, but its selection of a chiropractor to give treatment, the commissioner decided, makes it liable for the ex- pense Reed incurred in being cared for by physicians of his own choice.

McDonald regarding: the action of Owner Clarkin of the Hart- ford baseball c¢lub in removing him from the managership ofthe team and placing “Dan” O'Neil at the helm in his place. “Si” sald the change was made In fact he had suggested it to Clar- with his knowledge and approval. kin several days ago, advising the Hartford magnate that it was next to impossible for him to attend to the managerial duties of/the club. To handle t work satisfactorily he said he woul have to live in Hartford and would have absolutely no time to give to local business in- terests. He liked the place well enough but simply couldn’'t give it the required attention. “‘Si” was pilot of the team last year when it captured the pennant and in baseball circles his feat was consid- ered a big one. Clarkin is anxious to have the Capital City boys capture the gonfalon again this year, but he took McDonald’s advice with regret. “Si” intends to continue with the team, holding down a regular berth as catcher. To Close for a Month. Notice has been posted at the local factory of the Bristol Manufacturing company that the plant will be shut down from July 18 to August 17. During that period inventory will be taken and there will be some repairs made to machinery. This is the longest shut-down in the recent history of the plant. Busi- ness is not very brisk with the com- pany and the officers believe a month's shut-down will not cause any great hold-up of orders.
