In the Matter of the Claim of Louis La Belle, Respondent, against Britton Stone and Supply Corporation and State Insurance Fund, Appellants. State Industrial Board, Respondent.
   The appellants contend that because the claimant was industrially blind at the time of the accident he was not entitled to an award for 100 per cent loss of vision. The prior accident causing said industrial blindness was not caused by an industrial accident, and, therefore, cannot be considered and does not bar claimant from a full schedule award. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Rhodes, McNamee, Crapser and Bliss, JJ.
