Undergoing rehabilitation at Good Samaritan Hospital in March of 1969 is bearded Tacoma longshoreman Joseph E. Faker. He is using a wheeled apparatus to help him stand. Mr. Faker was injured in two separate Port of Tacoma accidents. He would accept an out-of-court settlement minutes before trial began on February 2, 1970. Mr. Faker allegedly sustained injuries on September 10, 1968, when a load of concrete asbestos pipe fell and crushed him as he was assisting in the discharge of cargo from the SS Trvovlje of the United Yugoslav Line. He had previously been hurt in September of 1967 when he fell from a ladder while unloading salt on board the MV Argyll. Photograph ordered by the law firm of Levinson Freidman, Seattle.
