In the Matter of the Claim of Louis Bartosik, Respondent, against D. & K. Fibre Company and Another, Appellants. State Industrial Board, Respondent.
    Appeal from an award of the Industrial Board in favor of claimant, a minor. Claimant, while employed as an operator of a machine in a factory of the employer, sustained an injury to his right arm necessitating amputation below the elbow, whereby he suffered eighty-five per cent permanent loss of use of said arm. The Board found that claimant’s wage earning capacity would be expected to increase to the sum of twenty-five dollars per week. The appellants assert that there is no evidence in the record justifying this finding. Award unanimously affirmed, with costs to the State Industrial Board. Present — Hill, P. J., Rhodes, Crapser, Bliss and Heffernan, JJ.
