This is the opinion of James W.
eech, State Compensation Commis
on, concurred in by the remainder
J the board, in the appeal of Hof
r & Garman, grain dealers, of Me
tanlcsburg, against award of com
ensation to Mary J. Stretch, of
echanicsburg, widow of ,T. B.
retch, a millwright, who was ta
lly injured while setting up a flour
ill in connection with the plant of
rat firm. The contention was made
lat Stretch was only a "casual" em
oye and that since the erection of
e mill was not a gainful enterprise,
nee they were at the time making
> profit from it, he was not en
tled to compensation. The opinion
rer rules these points. With re
ird to the claim of J. B. Stretch for
>mpensatlon previous to his death,
le opinion is given that this claim
ust be adjusted through an ad
inistrator.
