Excerpt from A Handbook of the Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Act of 1915: Containing a Digest, Full d104 of Associated Acts, Rulings of the Board and a Comprehensive Index Originally prepared for private convenience, it was suggested that this Digest and Index of the Workmen's Compensation Act of 1915 might be of some help to many of those who have more or less to do in the administration and observance of the Act. Upon submitting the matter to the Workmen's Compensation Board, they very kindly offered to recommend the use thereof, as in some measure simplifying and rendering more easy a compliance with the law.

The index, except where otherwise expressly stipulated, is to such sections, and refers, as well, to the sections of the full text of the Act, which, together with the associated acts, immediately follows the Digest.
