Opinion
January, 1936.
Appeal from State Industrial Board.
Present — Hill, P.J., Rhodes, McNamee, Crapser and Heffernan, JJ.
Claimant, a carpenter, was injured while repairing the roof of a building owned by the employers. He was indebted to Mr. Becker, one of the employers, in the sum of about $700, and Becker gave him the job of repairing the premises in question, at twenty dollars per week. Appellants claim that claimant was an independent contractor; that the premises were not conducted for pecuniary gain; that there is no evidence of total disability and that the award does not credit Becker with the $700 loaned to claimant. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board.
