\ MONTGOMERY, Jan. 22.-An i'm portant decision affecting the work mems compensation acr was handed down by the court of appeals today, tho decision reversing the Jefferson cir cult court in the case brought before the appellate court under the style of American Blakeslee Manufacturing company in re G. B. Eckles. The court of appeals, in an opinion written by Judge Sanford, held that bene- 6cfary of the workmen's compensation net is not entitled to recover compen- sation under the act for permanent in- jury unless his earning capacity is i'm paired. Eckles, tool maker, had been awarded a certain percentage of com pensation under the act by the Jeffer- eon circuit court for permanent disa- bility affecting an eye as result of use of emery, it was found that the dtmbility had not affected his earning capacity, and the court of appeals held that he was not under the workmen's compensation act to recover for the mental or physical pain suffered, and reversed and remanded the case.
 Another important decision was in the case of ex parte D. N. Cunning ham, petition for mandamus to the Jefferson circuit court. The appellate court in this case in an opinion which also was written by Judge Sanford held that a judgment by default can be set aside after thirty days only for fraud or error as to facts, and not for an error of law.
