In the Matter of the Claim of Jerry A. Galligan, Respondent, against Edward Langer Printing Company and Another, Appellants. State Industrial Board, Respondent.
    
      Workmen’s compensation ■ — • cross-examination of claimant’s doctor was improperly restricted — other evidence sustains finding of causal relation.
    
    Appeal from an award of the State Industrial Board, made on October 26, 1927.
   Per Curiam.

The conduct of the referee in curtailing the cross-examination of claimant’s doctor was arbitrary and unreasonable. We disapprove of it; but there was evidence to sustain the finding of causal relation, which was the only other question, and we think that no harm resulted. Van Kirk, P. J., Hinman, Davis, Whitmyer and Hill, JJ., concur. Award affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board.
