    Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the third judicial department, entered December 9, 1918, affirming an award of the state industrial commission made under the Workmen’s Compensation Law. The claim was for loss of an eye through injury thereto from a chip from' a sledge hammer which claimant was using in the course of his employment.

      Bertrand L. Pettigrew and Walter L. Glenney for appellants.
    
      Charles D. Newton, Attorney-General (E. C. Aiken of counsel), for respondent.
