En Banc.
Opinion Filed March 12, 1927.
Bird & Jones, for Plaintiff in Err or;
Raney & Raney and Cook & Harris, for Defendant in Error.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This writ of error was taken to a judgment for the defendant upon demurrer to an amended declaration of plaintiff alleging personal injury suffered by reason of Ahe negligence of defendant in not providing the plaintiff, defendant's employee, a reasonably safe place in which to work as oiler of 'machinery used in a power plant for generating electricity.
The declaration does not wholly fail to state a cause of action. The demurrer thereto was therefore erroneously sustained.
The judgment is reversed on the authority of Foster v. St. Johns Electric Co., 86 Fla. 338, 98 South. Rep. 75; Peterson v. Daniels Co., 83 Fla. 29, 90 South. Rep. 621; Wertz v. Tampa Electric Co., 78 Fla. 405, 83 South. Rep. 270; McDonald v. Exchange Supply Co., 88 Fla. 80, 101 South. Rep. 28.
Reversed.
