Opinion

March, 1928.

Appeal from State Industrial Board.

PER CURIAM.

The conduct of the referee in curtailing the cross-examination of claimant's doctor was arbitrary and unreasonable. We disapprove of it; but there was evidence to sustain the finding of causal relation, which was the only other question, and we think that no harm resulted. Van Kirk, P.J., Hinman, Davis, Whitmyer and Hill, JJ., concur. Award affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board.
