appointed by it and consisting of one representative of employes, one repre-
sentative of employers, and either a member of the Commission or a person
specially deputized by the Commission to act as chairman, before which
the evidence in regard to the claim shall be adduced and by which it
shall be considered and reported upon with the right of either party to
appeal to the Commission from the finding of said arbitration committee
on all questions of law and fact. If changes of circumstances warrant an
increase or rearrangement of compensation, like application shall be made.
No increase or rearrangement shall be operative for any period prior to
application therefor. At any time after a claim for compensation under
this Article has been filed with the State Industrial Accident Commission
by any claimant, the said claimant and/or his or her dependents may, with
the approval of the -State Industrial Accident Commission, enter into an
agreement with the employer or insurer of such employer providing for a
final compromise and settlement of any and all claims which the said em-
ployee or his or her dependents might then or thereafter have under the
provisions of this Article, upon such terms and conditions as the Commis-
sion shall, in its discretion, deem proper. Any such settlement when ap-
proved by the Commission shall be binding upon all parties thereto, and
no such settlement shall be effective unless approved by the Commission.
