Last week the State Indus-trial Commission denied com-pensation to Manda Rukavina Sarich, alleged death-be- d widow of Joe Sarich. Sarich was injured September 20th last while working for the Utah Con Mine and was removed to the Bingham Hospital. . Convinced his death was a matter of but a few days he took steps to protect Manda Rukavina and her four children by a form-er marriage. He and the claimant were mar ried October 1 and the man died October 11th from his injuries. "We do not believe" decides the commission "that the legis-lature intended that a death-be- d -- marriage, such as this, should be regarded as a compensable af-fair. It would indeed be a dan-gerous precedent to award com-pensation in case of this kind, in the doing the commission would be condoning immoral re-lations."
