34:15-54.  Dismissal of petition;  notice;  reinstatement
    No petition shall be dismissed for want of prosecution or for failure to formally adjourn the cause, until after notice shall be served by the respondent on the petitioner or his attorney that unless the cause is moved for  hearing within one month from the date of the service thereof, the claim will  be considered abandoned and the petition dismissed subject, however, to the  right to have the petition reinstated for good cause shown, upon application  made to the deputy commissioner before whom the matter was heard or to the  Commissioner of Labor within one year thereafter.  No claim heretofore made  shall be considered abandoned because the petition was dismissed under this  section, if such petition has been reinstated for good cause shown, and such  petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed without prejudice to further  proceedings upon said petition, and further proceedings thereon shall be as  effective as though said petition had not been dismissed.
