Collier, Appellant, v. Kaufmann & Baer Company et al.
    Argued March 21, 1945.
    Before Maxey, C. J., Drew, Linn, Stern, Patterson and Jones, JJ.
    
      E. B. Wolfe, with him John B. Bieldas, Jr., and McCrady, Bieldas & Hirschfield, for appellant.
    
      H. E. MeCamey, with him William, W. Matson and Dielcie, Robinson & MeOamey, for appellee.
    June 29, 1945:
   Per Curiam,

In the opinion of the Superior Court in this Workmen’s Compensation case appears the following statement: “It is plain to us that on the record before us, claimant’s average weekly wage is to be determined under sub-section (d) [of the Workmen’s Compensation Act of June 21, 1939, P. L. 520, Section 1, 77 P.S. 582]. . . . But claimant’s complete employment record, at least for the year immediately before the accident, should have been introduced into evidence.”

At the argument we directed that a stipulation be filed by the respective parties showing what the appellant’s weekly wages were during the entire period of her employment. This has been done. There is nothing in the stipulation which would justify the holding that appellant’s employment was on a weekly basis. The Superior Court was warranted in concluding that there was no competent evidence to support the finding that the employee’s weekly wage was $20.00.

The judgment of the Superior Court is affirmed on the opinion of Judge Kenworthey and the record is remitted to the Workmen’s Compensation Board for further proceedings in accordance with that opinion.
