    Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the third judicial department, entered November 24, 1920, affirming an award of the state industrial commission made under the Workmen’s Compensation Law. Claimant was employed in a knitting mill.

Defendants contended that the injury did not arise out of and in the course of the employment.
