   Per Curiam.

The complaint in this action, though flagrantly indefinite and uncertain and open to a motion to make its allegations more specific, and in default thereof that it be stricken out, is not demurrable. By permissible inferences the complaint states a cause of action, if in no other respects, for the negligent failure of defendant to provide plaintiff with a safe place in which to do his work.
