Rescript Reverses
Finding in Case Of
Fairfield EmplOyee

The law court Saturday handed
down Z. rescrfpt in Charles Pooler's
case from Somerset county. arising
under the workmen's compensation
act. sustaining the appeal OF the en-
ployer and the insurance company
and reversing the decree OF the sit
ting justice.
The rescript, which was drawn by
Associate Justice George NJ. Hanson
OF Calais. is as follows:
This case arises under the Work
mems Compensation Act (Rev. st. c.
SOY. Public Laws, 1919, Chap. 23S,
and comes before the court upon an
appeal by the employer and the in
surance company from a finding OF
the Industrial Accident Commission
In favor Of the petitioner.
Upon the issues raised, the Com
mission found. that Charles Pooler
was at the time of the accident an
employee of Frank S. Sawyer as de-
fined by subsection IL of Section !
Of the Workmen's Compensation Act,
and further hiatt Frank S. Sawyer
was an asserting employer as to Mr..
Pooler."
HELD: 1. The issues so deter
mined by the Commission upon facts
undisputed. are questions of law,
open to review by this court
2. Frank S. Sawyer was engaged
in buying and selling pulp wood at
/ the date of injury claimed by petit
toner. So far as the case shows, it
was at that date his only business,
/ the lath business having been dis
continued for many months. The
pulp wood contract involved did not
| comprehend any delivery or work at
Ellsworth or Fairfield. An emer-
gency due to- some unexplained cause
aside from expense Of demurrage
| compelled the respondent to unload
and yard certain pulp wood at Fair
| field. For this purpose he sought
the aid of friend who employed the
| petitioner and others to unload the
same, and while the petitioner was
so employed, the unfortunate acct
dent occurred. The employment was
unusual. AS has been seen, an emer-
gency arose and the opposite of reg
ular business occurred and persisted.
4 situation developed in which all
effort in relation to the pulp wood
must be casual. The unexpected had
| happened. An emergency crew was
! hired, and when the emergency
ceased their labor ceased. In such
emergency employment of labor to
meet the same is and must be casual.
The occurrence was not part of the
usual orderly and normal conduct of
the pulp wood business, in which
| such employment would bind re-
spondents, even if Charles Pooler had
been an asserting employer as to the
ispulp wood business.
! 8. 1t is clear from the undisputed
/ facts that the finding is erroneous,
and therefore cannot stand. Peti-
toner's employment was casual with
in the meaning Of subsection II Of
| Section of the Workmen's Com
pensation Act Casual is the an
tonym Of regular" Systematic"
periodic" and certain"
| Appeal sustained.
! Decree of sitting Justice reversed.
Petition dismissed.

Of SENATE WAR
Democrats Plan to Keep UP
Fight to Demand Account
of Election Expenses.
BY GEORGE X. HOLMES,
International News Service.

She intermittent political snipIng
that has been carried on almost
daily in the Senate for the last
month today turned into the steady
rat-tattat of political warfare, with
dep-laid strategy and tactical plan
ming.
The Democrats are frankly gIeeful
over the letter which Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty wrote to Senator
Pomerene Dem) of Ohio, expressing
the opinion that, because of the Su-
preme Court decision in the New
berry case, Senators need no longer
file an accounting of their eXpendi-
lures in primaries and elections
with the clerk of the Senate. The
Democrats are frank in stating they
are going to make political capital
out of il.
Senator Pomerene, himself candi.
date for reelection in the Presidents
own State of Ohio, today served no.
tice that he, with the solid backing
of his party, is going TO press for
immediate consideration of his al.
most forgotten resolution, which not
only would require a financial ac-
litical one as well.
The Pomerene resolution goes
further than the corrupt practices
act. 1t provides:
Every such candidate (Scnatorial)
shall include therein a statement of
every promise or pledge made by
him. or by anyone for him
relative to the appointment,cr or recon-
mendationn for appointment of any
person to any position Of trust, honor
or profit, either in county, State or
nation or in any private or
corporate employment. etc, with
names. dates and places"
1t also provides that campaign ex-
penditures should be limited to So.
900.
The Republican leaders promptly
got together to discuss Pomerenes
move, and IL is understood a tenta-
tive decision was reached TO oppose
it-not on the grounds that The party
is necessarily opposed TO it, but be-
cause II is the intention Of the Demo
Gratis to make II vehicle to bring
up the Newberry' case at every turn.
Senator Medih Mccormick RepJ
Of Illinois, chairman Of the Repub.
lican Senatorial Campaign Commit.
tee, had a conference with President
Harding, and later he conferred with
Sepator Lodge, Senator Curtis and
other leaders.
Senator Pomerene's resolution is
now buried in the Rules Committee.
Of which Senator Curtis is chairman.
and the Democrats are planning 10
wait a reasonable time" for its be-
ing reported out, and il il isn't
forthcoming they are going to move
to discharge the committee from
further consideration of it.
This would open up a savage poll
tical fight on the floor. during which
the Democrats plan to rake up the
Newberry skeleton and parade Il up
and down the floor in all its political
aspects.

BONUS ENEMIES
MAY F|L|bUSTER
BILL To DEATH
Warn McCumber Against
Pressing for Immediate
Action.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL.
International News Service.

Senatorial opponents of the SOL
diers' bonus threatened today to at
tempt to kill 1t with a carefully or
ganized filibuster in case Senator
McCumber CRepJ OF North Dakota.
chairman Of the Senate Finarce Com.
mittee, persists in carrying out his
plan to report a bonus bill and to
displace the tariff bin for II.
McCumber declared that be had
no intention of abandoning his plan,
and he was not alone among the
Republican leaders in predicting that
bonus bill would be passed at this
session despite the avowed intention
of the anti-bonus Senators, Republi.
can and Democratic, to talk IL to
death.
1t was plainly intimated by Nc.
Cumber that the expected rejection
of this substitute for the Mouse
bonus bill by President Harding
might soon result in a final test Of
strength between the proponents and
opponents of the soldiers Sonus.
The situation is one that IS giving
Administration spokesmen In the
Senate grave concern. They are un-
derstood to have sought in vain to
persuade MCCumber not to press
his plan. They are said 10 have
found a number of others on the Re.
publican side as adamant as McCum-
ber that bonus bill shall be passed.
They are looking to the President to
help them prevent an open split In
the Republican ranks, and he is said
to have promised developments soon
which may prevent the bonus from
being injected into the tariff tangle.
