INTRODUCTORY 
 
 This Supplement to the Compiled Labor Laws of Nevada, 1919, 
 contains the general labor laws enacted by the Thirtieth Session of the 
 Nevada Legislature according to the sequence and classification of 
 subjects used in the former publication. 
 
 In the distribution of this pamphlet it is intended that it will be 
 accompanied by the Compiled Labor Laws of 1919, except in those 
 cases where request specifies particularly this Supplement because of 
 the possession of such Compiled Labor Laws. 
 
 That there may be no confusion as to the text of the complete law of 
 which this pamphlet may contain a section amendment, the index 
 hereof is cumulative of both publications, and page references from 
 this index will therefore give the original law and section amendment.

 provisions of this act, who shall be injured by accident arising out of 
 and in the course of employment, or his dependents, as hereinafter 
 defined, shall be entitled to receive the following compensation : 
 
 (A) Death Benefits 
 If the injury causes death, the compensation shall be known as a 
 death benefit, and shall be payable in the amount and to and fqr the 
 benefit of the persons following : 
 
 1. Burial expenses, not to exceed one hundred and twenty -five ($125) 
 dollars, in addition to the compensation payable under this act. 
 
 2. To the widow, if there is no child, thirty per centum of the average 
 wage of the deceased. This compensation shall be paid until her death 
 or remarriage, with two years' compensation in one sum upon remar- 
 riage. 
 
 3. To the widower, if there is no child, thirty per centum of the 
 average wage of the deceased, if wholly dependent for support upon the 
 deceased employee at the time of her death. This compensation shall 
 be paid until his death or remarriage. 
 
 4. To the widow or widower, if there is a child or children, the com- 
 pensation payable under clause one (1) or clause two (2), and in addi- 
 tion the additional amount of ten per centum of such wage for each such 
 child until the age of eighteen years. In case of the subsequent death 
 of such surviving wife (or dependent husband) any surviving child of 
 
Supplement to Compiled Labor Laws of Nevada 209 
 
 the deceased employee shall have his compensation increased to fifteen 
 (15) per centum of such wages, and the same shall be payable until he 
 shall reach the age of eighteen years ; provided, that the total amount 
 payable shall in no case exceed sixty-six and two-thirds per cent of such 
 wage. If the children have a guardian other than the surviving widow 
 or widower, the compensation on account of such children may be paid 
 to such guardian. The compensation payable on account of any child 
 shall cease when he dies, marries, or reaches the age of eighteen years, 
 or if over eighteen years, and incapable of self-support, becomes capable 
 of self-support. 
 
 5. If there be a surviving child or children of the deceased under 
 the age of eighteen years,, but no surviving wife (or dependent hus- 
 band) then for the support of each child until the age of eighteen years, 
 fifteen per centum of the wages of the deceased; provided, that the 
 aggregate shall in no case exceed sixty-six and two-thirds per centum 
 of such wages. 
 
 6. If there be no surviving wife (or dependent husband) or child 
 under the age of eighteen years, there shall be paid to a parent, if 
 wholly dependent for support upon the deceased employee at the time 
 of his death, twenty-five per centum of the average monthly wage of 
 the deceased during dependency, with an added allowance of ten per 
 centum if two dependent parents survive ; to the brothers or sisters, 
 under the age of eighteen years, if one is wholly dependent upon the 
 deceased employee for support at the time of injury causing death, 
 twenty per centum of the average monthly wage for the support of 
 such brother or sister, until of the age of eighteen years. If more than 
 one brother or sister is wholly dependent, thirty per centum of the 
 average monthly wage at the time of injury, causing death, divided 
 among such dependents share and share alike. If there is no one of 
 them wholly dependent, but one or more partly dependent, ten per 
 centum divided among such dependents share and share alike. 
 
 7. In all other cases, questions of total or partial dependency shall 
 be determined in accordance with the facts as the facts may be at the 
 time of the injury. If the deceased employee leaves dependents only 
 partially dependent upon his earnings for support at the time of the 
 injury causing his . death, the monthly compensation to be paid shall 
 be equal to the same proportion of the monthly payments for the benefit 
 of persons totally dependent as the amount contributed by the employee 
 to such partial dependents bears to the average wage of deceased at the 
 time of the injury resulting in his death. The duration of such com- 
 pensation to partial dependents shall be fixed by the commission in 
 accordance with the facts shown, but in no case exceed compensation 
 for one hundred months. 
 
 8. Compensation to the widow or widower shall be for the use and 
 benefit of such widow or widower, and of the dependent children, and 
 the commission may, from time to time, apportion such compensation 
 between them in such way as it deems best for the interests of all 
 beneficiaries. 
 
 If a dependent to whom a death benefit is to be paid is an alien not 
 residing in the United States, the compensation shall be only sixty 
 (60%) per cent of the amount or amounts above specified. 
 
210 Supplement to Compiled Laboe Laws of Nevada 
 
 9. Any excess of wages over one hundred and twenty ($120) dollars 
 a month shall not be taken into account in computing compensation 
 for death benefits. 
 
 10. In such cases where compensation is awarded to the widow, 
 dependent children, or persons wholly dependent, no lump-sum settle- 
 ments shall be allowed. 
 
 11. In case of the death of any dependent specified in the foregoing 
 enumeration before the expiration of the time named in the award, 
 funeral expenses not to exceed one hundred and twenty-five ($125) 
 dollars shall be paid. 
 
 (B) Total Disability 
 
 1. Temporary total disability : For temporary total disability, if 
 there be no one residing in the United States totally dependent upon 
 the workman at the time of the injury, compensation of sixty (60%) 
 per cent of the average monthly wage, but not more than seventy-two 
 ($72) dollars nor less than thirty ($30) dollars per month, but not 
 exceeding one hundred months, during the period of such disability, 
 total amount not to exceed seven thousand two hundred ($7,200) dol- 
 lars ; if there be persons residing in the United States totally depen- 
 dent for support upon the workman, compensation as provided herein

 to be permanent, compensation of sixty (60%) per cent of the average 
 monthly wage, but not less than thirty ($30) dollars per month nor 
 more than sixty ($60) dollars per month during the life of the injured 
 person; provided, in cases of permanent total disability, if the char- 
 acter of the injury is such as to render the workman so physically help- 
 less as to require the services of a constant attendant, an additional 
 allowance of thirty ($30) dollars per month may be made so long as 
 such requirements shall continue, but such increase shall not obtain or 
 be operative while the workman is receiving hospital care under or 
 pursuant to the provisions of section 23 of this act.

 the contrary, the disability caused thereby shall be deemed total and 
 permanent :

 2. The loss by separation of both legs at or above the knee. 
 
 3. The loss by separation of both arms at or above the elbow.

 5. An injury to the skull resulting in incurable imbecility, or 
 insanity. 
 
 6. The loss by separation of one arm at or above the elbow, and one 
 leg by separation at or above the knee may be deemed a permanent 
 total disability. 
 
 The above enumeration is not taken as exclusive ; and in all other 
 cases, permanent total disability shall be determined in accordance with 
 the facts.

212 Supplement to Compiled Labor Laws of Nevada 
 
 (u) For the partial loss of use of a finger, toe, arm, hand, foot, leg, 
 or partial loss of sight or hearing, fifty (50%) per cent of the average 
 monthly wage during that proportion of the number of months in the 
 foreging schedule provided for the complete loss of use of such mem- 
 ber, or complete loss of sight or hearing, which the partial loss of use 
 thereof bears to the total loss of use of such member or total loss of 
 sight or hearing. 
 
 (v) Facial disfigurement: For permanent disfigurement about the 
 head or face, which shall include injury to or loss of teeth, the com- 
 mission may allow such sum for compensation thereof as it may deem 
 just, in accordance with the proof submitted, for a period not to exceed 
 twelve (12) months. 
 
 (w) In all cases of permanent partial disability, not otherwise speci- 
 fied in the foregoing schedule, the percentage of disability to the total 
 disability shall be determined. For the purpose of computing compen- 
 sation for a disability that is partial in character but permanent in 
 quality, fifty (50% ) per cent of the average monthly wage not to exceed 
 the sum of sixty ($60) dollars per month for the period of one (1) 
 month shall represent a one (1%) per cent disability. 
 
 In determining the percentage of disability, consideration shall be 
 given, among other things, to any previous disability, the occupation 
 of the injured employee, the nature of the physical injury, and the age 
 of the employee at the time of the injury. 
 
 (x) "Where there is a previous disability, as the loss of one eye, one 
 hand, one foot, or any other previous permanent disability, the per- 
 centage of disability for a subsequent injury shall be determined by 
 computing the percentage of the entire disability and deducting there- 
 from the percentage of the previous disability as it existed at the time 
 of the subsequent injury. 
 
 (y) The commission may adopt a schedule for rating permanent dis- 
 abilities and reasonable and proper rules to carry out the provisions of 
 this subsection. 
 
 No compensation shall be payable for the death or disability of an 
 employee, if his death be caused by, or in so far as his disability may be 
 aggravated, caused or continued by an unreasonable refusal or neglect 
 to submit to or follow any competent and reasonable surgical treatment 
 or medical aid. As amended, Chap. 161, Stats. 1921.
