Description
CARROLL, J. The employee was injured October 15, 1929, while at work on a heavy punch press, and was paid compensation under the workmen's compensation statute for the loss of the terminal phalange of the forefinger, the entire terminal phalange and half of the second phalange of the second and ring fingers, and the entire terminal phalange of the little finger of the left hand. He returned to work on a light punch press December 26, 1926. It was found that the employee was partially incapacitated and unable to do the work he did before he was injured because of the condition of his left hand; that there was a 'material decrease in gripping and working power.' He was awarded partial compensation of two thirds of the difference between his average weekly wages before his injury and the wages he was able to earn after the injury. There was evidence to warrant the finding of the Industrial Accident Board. The board in determining the weekly wages the employee was able to earn after the injury apparently found that the wages he actually received after the injury, as shown by the wage schedule, were in fact the weekly wages he was able to earn. There was no error in this if his actual wages after the injury were the wages he was able to earn.
