Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Claim of Eugene Sonntag, Respondent, against Steinway & Sons and Another, Appellants. State Industrial Board, Respondent.

Opinion:
Award reversed and claim remitted, with costs against the State Industrial Board to abide the event, on the ground that no notice of injury was served and no proof was given that the employer had knowledge of the accident or was not prejudiced by the failure to serve notice. All concur. The court disapproves the practice of asking the employer whether he has been prejudiced.
