Opinion on Petition to Rehear
Mb. Justice Cbeson :
A petition to rehear has been filed in this cause which complains of the Court’s original majority opinion in three aspects.
The first is that the assignment of errors, written brief and argument of plaintiffs in error was filed so close to the date of the hearing that it prevented opposing counsel from adequately preparing and presenting his case. The second is directed to the idea that the majority opinion considered an issue on which he had no chance to be heard; that is, “the issue of common, unskilled labor.” The third is that the majority opinion conflicts with Brademeyer v. Chickasaw Building Co. et al. (1950), 190 Tenn. 239, 229 S.W.2d 323.
On re-examination of the record, briefs and arguments, we find no justification whatever for the conten*648tion that there has been denial of opportunity to present and argue any contention. In fact, the full case and every issue made therein have been fully briefed and argued.
There is assuredly no basis for contention that the element of “unskilled labor” was not fully considered. That is the main thrust of the dissenting opinion filed by one of the Justices of this Court. This very issue evoked much thought and discussion and even dissent.
As to the third insistence, with respect to the prior opinion in Brademeyer v. Chickasaw Building Co. et al., supra; this, too, is without merit. That opinion was given extended and thoughtful consideration. All of the members of the Court are in complete agreement with that opinion, and were at the time of release of the original opinion in this case. It is quite apparent in the case cited (1) the parties were, in fact, employer and employee; (2) the legal relationship, as well as the factual, was that; and (3) the parties in that cause fully recognized and intended such to be their status.
Such is not the instant case, and the petition to rehear is denied.
Burnett, Chiee Justice, and Dyer, and Chattin, Justices, concur.
HumphRets, Justice, dissents.
