ALBERT C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR. 1435

to follow immediately after Section 35 and to be known as
35-A and to read as follows:

35-A. Whenever any prisoner in the Maryland Penitentiary
or the Maryland House of Correction shall be engaged in any
extra-hazardous employment within the meaning of this Article
for which wages or a stipulated sum are paid either to the
institution or to the prisoner, this Article shall be applicable
thereto. The average weekly wages of any such prisoner shall
be the average weekly wages or remuneration which the em-
ployer pays for the labor of said prisoner, whether to the insti-
tution or the prisoner, or both; and the State Industrial Acci-
dent Commission in awarding compensation in cases of injuries
to prisoners in the course of their employment, shall direct that
all of the compensation for which the employer of said prisoner
is liable hereunder, shall be paid to the institution in which the
said prisoner is confined at the time of his injury, and out of
the compensation paid to any such institution under the pro-
visions of this Article, the institution shall retain a sum equal
to the average weekly amount received by said institution (if
the compensation shall amount to so much) for the labor of said
prisoner over and above any bonus received by or for the use
of said prisoner, and the surplus of any such compensation, if
any, shall be credited to and belong to the injured prisoner.
The disposition of the compensation as above provided shall
continue until the prisoner shall resume work or until his death
or discharge from the institution. When such prisoner shall
resume work any compensation to which he may still be entitled
by reason of partial disability, temporary or permanent, shall
be payable to the institution and first applied towards reim-
bursement to the institution for any loss which it may sustain
in the earnings of said prisoner by reason of his injuries, and
the balance, if any, shall belong to and be credited to the amount
of such prisoner. Upon the discharge of the prisoner, whether
by reason of the expiration of the term, or, by reason of a par-
don or parole, the remainder of the compensation for which the
employer may be liable hereunder shall be paid directly to the
prisoner, and it shall be the duty of the institution in which any
prisoner, who is receiving compensation under the provisions of
this Article, is confined, to promptly notify the State Industrial
Accident Commission of the discharge of any such prisoner in
order that an amended award may be made directing the pay-
ment to the said prisoner of any future compensation to which
the prisoner may be entitled.
