JAMES J. HILAND v. J. B. FORREST AND OTHERS. Reported in 257 N.W. 663.

Workmen's compensation act — finding of industrial commission.

Evidence amply supports the finding of the industrial commission.

In a proceeding under the workmen's compensation act the industrial commission determined that J.B. Forrest rather than Hope G. McCall was the employer of one James J. Hiland and so liable for compensation awarded the latter for an accidental injury arising out of and in the course of his employment. To review the order of the commission Forrest and his insurer obtained certiorari. Affirmed.

PER CURIAM.

Certiorari to review a decision of the industrial commission awarding compensation to employe, James J. Hiland. It is conceded that the employe was entitled to compensation, and no question is raised as to the amount thereof. The only question is as to which of two persons (each having an insurer) was the employer. The commission concluded that relator Forrest was such employer and that he and his insurer should pay the compensation awarded. The conclusion reached had ample support in the evidence and should not be disturbed. A recital of the evidence would not benefit the litigants or the profession.

Affirmed.
