MATTER OF COOK v. INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department.
May 1, 1935

Claimant, in the course of his employment, was operating an elevator; the fuse blew out causing the elevator to become stalled between two floors, by reason of which claimant was confined in the elevator an hour and a half during which time he was subjected to a lower temperature than that of the factory, as result of which a dormant pre-existing tuberculosis was lighted up. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board.
