MR. JUSTICE SCHAEFER, with whom MR. CHIEF JUSTICE UNDERWOOD and MR. JUSTICE RYAN join, dissenting: Chief Justice Underwood, Mr. Justice Ryan and I are unable to agree that the evidence recited in the opinion of the majority establishes that the defendant, Hasbrook Construction Co., was “in charge” of the work within the meaning of the Structural Work Act. It is our opinion that the trial judge correctly entered judgment notwithstanding the vérdict in favor of that defendant. To the extent that the opinion of the majority reaches a contrary conclusion, we respectfully dissent.
