WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION, § 188 — exclusiveness of remedy under act. In action for personal injuries incurred when plaintiff, a cosmetic salesman, entered tavern to call prospective customer by phone and fell in trap door left open by employee of defendant brewing company delivering beer to tavern, trial court erred in refusing to permit filing of additional plea by defendant after plaintiff rested, to effect that action was not maintainable since plaintiff should have filed claim under Workmen's Compensation Act, he and his employer being under act.
