1. Master and Servant.
Where arbitration board was waived and matter submitted to industrial commissioner in lieu thereof, commissioner's order held not appealable, in absence of claim for review, and became final ten days after entry (Rev. Code 1919, § 9470, as amended by Laws 1925, c. 304; and §§ 9471, 9474).
2. Master and Servant.
Circuit court's lack of jurisdiction on attempted appeal from industrial commissioner's order, being jurisdictional, must govern when coming to Supreme Court's attention, though not urged by parties.
PER CURIAM.
Respondent, Jahnig, filed a claim for compensation for injury alleged to have resulted from an industrial accident. The claim being disputed, a board of arbitration was waived, and the matter was submitted to the industrial commissioner in lieu of a board of arbitration, pursuant to section 9470, Rev. Code 1919, as amended by Laws 1925, c. 304. The commissioner, thus sitting in lieu of a board of arbitration, made findings and conclusions, and entered an order allowing compensation on July 22, 1931. No claim for review was filed with the industrial commissioner, pursuant to section 9474, Rev. Code 1919, but an appeal to the circuit court was attempted directly from the order of July 22. The circuit court entered judgment affirming the order and award of the industrial commissioner.
[1, 2] On the authority of Murray v. Stokke, 60 S.D. 224, 244 N.W. 265, we must hold that the circuit court acquired no jurisdiction by the attempted appeal, and that the order of July 22, 1931, became final and enforceable in ten days, pursuant to section 9471, Rev. Code 1919. The point, being jurisdictional, must govern when it comes to our attention, regardless of the fact that it was not urged by the parties.
It will be the judgment of this court that the judgment appealed from be reversed, and the cause remanded to the circuit court, with directions to dismiss the appeal attempted to be taken from the order of the industrial commissioner of July 22, 1931.
