        "text": "Mr. Chief Justice Clarity\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nIt appears, from claimant\u2019s declaration-that on. or about the 19th day of October, A. D. 1925, he was working for the State of Illinois as a plumber and steam-fitter\u2019s helper on a section of the service tunnel at the Elgin State Hospital; that at the time in question he was ordered by the foreman, an employee of the State of Illinois, to inspect a six inch high pressure steam pipe line which had been made in a tunnel. The tunnel walls were complete and while claimant, together with others, was in the tunnel endeavoring to straighten the pipes, the walls caved in and the claimant was crushed by the falling of cement blocks and pipes. He was painfully and seriously injured, his pelvis having been broken and- fractured in six places. The claimant was a man of about 33 years of age and in good health at the time of the accident, and it is further alleged that the claimant is suffering with-a permanent deformity of the pelvis with permanent injury to his nervous system and is permanently disabled from following his occupation as a plumber and steam-fitter\u2019s helper and will continue so to be.\nA stipulation was filed substantially agreeing with the facts alleged and further showing that claimant has a wife and a child 5 years of age who are depending upon him as their sole means of support and at the time of the accident he was receiving $6.00 per day. It is further stipulated that the said William L. Fischer is permanently injured and physically incapacitated to do any physical labor of any kind for the rest of his life.\nIt therefore appears to the court that following the rules of the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act, which should be followed in view of the facts stipulated and shown, the claimant should have allowance measured by the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act.\nTherefore it is considered by the court and recommended that the claimant be allowed the sum of $4,100.00.",
